Hi Matteo and welcome to our :)

I have not tried the above package myself however I can imagine that it's failing if it makes use of the Umbraco API to do something since the package is from 2010 and the API has been updated a couple of times since then and there has happened alot between versions.

I'm not sure what other form packages that exists, which are comapatible with version 7 at the moment either.

But perhaps you can achieve your goal by setting up your own form using html, javascript, css and Razor?

Thanks for your input Jan - I'll keep working on this one as I feel the solution might be near.

Hi Matteo

Fair enough :) - Please share if you succeed.

Ok, I've managed to upgrade the package and make it work on umbraco 7. There were multiple issues:

1. The solution was using the old Nodefactory
2. The dll was compiled for the 4.0 version of the framework
3. The auto respond feature doesn't work so I've commented it all out

Recompiled and it works now. I'll be happy to post the complete fix but I would like the author to authorise me in case.

Hi Matteo, is it possible to download your working pliable form from somewhere? I also need it to run on an Umbraco 7 installation.

Thanks!

Hi Søren, you can download the fix from http://bit.ly/1nSVG3S

In order to make it work you need to install the latest Pliableform package first, then:

• copy the .dll file from the zipped folder to your /bin/ folder
• copy the .xslt file from the zipped folder to your /xslt/ folder (sorry I've fixed only the _table version of the xslt, let me know if you need the other one too)

All should work now - let me know if not!

Best, Matteo

Thanks Matteo! Sadly it didn't solve my problem.

I have installed the latest Pliable Form (1.3) and copied the xslt + bin files. I include my form on my page with the following:

@Umbraco.RenderMacro("PliableForm_table", new {formNode="1143", jQuery="0"})

When submitting the form, I get the forms error content and the following error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Weird, I am probably missing something then. I will check it later and get back to you.

Søren, are you label fields empty? It seems that if they are empty it'll break (it happened to me today)

Hi Matteo, They are not just empty, they are gone!? Have you experienced that issue?

YES! Sorry I totally forgot about it! Try assign that field a textstring, that should do the trick. Let me know!

I'm getting closer - I now get the following:

The parameter 'address' cannot be an empty string. Parameter name: address

I suspected it to be the "to-address", but that is already filled in.

We are getting closer indeed! This is a known issue, the solution is to put in your web.config in the appSettings section, the following (change your values accordingly):

<appSettings>
    <add key="PliableForm.defaultEmailSubject" value="Contact form" />
    <add key="PliableForm.defaultToAddress" value="[email protected]" />
    <add key="PliableForm.enableSsl" value="False" />
    <add key="PliableForm.fromAddress" value="[email protected]" /> 
  </appSettings>

Hello All,

I have same problem in Umbraco 7.

I tried to change Label type to textstring but it does not help me, it is still returning error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'.

Please help to fix the issue.

Thanks in advance

Hello Tigran - have you copied the .dll file I've posted earlier and changed the Label type to textstring for each pliable field?

Hello Matteo,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I have done that steps, but still it is returning  'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error on submit.

I can give You temp access to my webpage and You debug your own if You can, I will be very grateful.

If it is ok for You, please give me your email and I will send You link and username/password.

Thanks in advance.

Tigran
