I'm totally new to Umbraco, so please bear with me!
I've downloaded the form package and managed to install without problems, however, when I try to create the new Content item, the documentType "CultivContactForm" doesn't appear in the drop-down.
I see that a previous post has the same problem, but I can't find the "CultivContactForm" folder on the server to double check that it is installed correctly.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - appolgies for the stupidity of this question.
Does the CultivContactForm document type exist under Settings -> Document Types ?
If so you'll need to allow it to be created at your desired location. For example, if you would like to create the form under your homepage, you should edit the Homepage document type, click the Structure tab, and select CultivContactForm. In Umbraco you must specifically tell it which document types are allowed to be created where.
I've managed to get it working following your instruction - however, the form opens into a new window - I want it to sit on a page with other content. When I use the macro the form doesn't have any text - see attached document.
I haven't actually used this package before so don't know much about it, but it looks like you need to configure the field labels. From the screenshot on the project page it looks like it's on the Contact Form tab of the new Document Type.
If you want it on an existing page/template instead of it's own, you should be able to insert the macro into that template (per the project page documentation).
documentType is missing
