New Post: Retain the order of fields during creation

AdrianNoble — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:02:19 GMT

You can call out a specific field by using something like this: <Place Fields_Numeric_Edit-NumberOfUsers="Content:2.0"/>

"NumberOfUsers" is the name of the field.

Hope that works for you.

Created Issue: Custom Forms Content Type Alternate shape not render after form submit with validation fail [12]

scorpioreloaded — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:13:20 GMT

I have created a Custom Forms with Content Type __MarketingPreferences__ and change the view in theme with __Content.Edit-MarketingPreferences.cshtml__ which works fine when the form load first time, but if the form is posted with validation error with required fields the above alternate is not loaded, instead it jumps back to the Content.Edit.cshtml.

Commented Issue: Custom form title part and contenttype replacement fter submit [10]

Custom form title part and content type are taken from invalid entry if it has not passed validation after submit. Hope you better understand it with an repro steps:

1. Create ContentType with TitlePart and Required text field.
2. Create a form for ContentType

3. Submit a form with empty values -> ValidationSummary is shown, no Title is shown.
4. Submit a form with some Title but empty required field -> ValidationSummary is shown, Title from submitted value is shown.

Isn't it should show the Custom Form title instead of Content title all the time?
Comments: Temporary solution is to alternate Parts.Title shape with "Parts.Title-url-contact.cshtml" (replace 'contact' with proper page name) and hardcode both strings ``` @{ Layout.Title = "My Contact Form"; } <h1>Contact Form Header</h1> ```

Comments: I've encountered same issue, when form is submitted and validation fails the Model.Title in ~/Core/Title/Views/Parts.Title.cshtml is emptied thus empty <title> and <h1> tags.

New Post: Retain the order of fields during creation

I created a custom form, and adding the fields in a specific order. The form is like a questionnaire wherein the next question is a follow-up of the previous question(s) above it.

I tried modifying the placement.info file, but I can only modify the sequence per control type (numeric before datetime, boolean before text)...

I tried making the order number the same, in the hopes that the "default" ordering of fields at the time of creation will take over - no joy.

  <Place Fields_Input_Edit="Content:2.0"/>
  <Place Fields_Input="Content:after"/>
 
  <!-- Numeric -->
  <Place Fields_Numeric_Edit="Content:2.0"/>
  <Place Fields_Numeric="Content:after"/>

So I guess the next step here is to use the Shape Designer, inspect the "widget" and override it (Shape->Alternate-Create)? It generates a file (e.g. Widget-url-membership-online-application.cshtml ), and I guess I will start working from this file?

The contents of the file just shows this:

@Display(Model.Content)

How do I address a specific field such I can do something like:

<label for="FirstName">@T("Your First Name")</label>
<input id="FirstName" class="text" name="FirstName" type="text" value="@Model.??????"/>

There must be an easier way!

New Post: Custom Forms Localization

julia_v — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 08:34:46 GMT

Hi,

I've built a multi lingual site, with a custom form.

I needed the form to appear in the selected language in the 'culture picker', but even after adding the 'localization' part to my form content type i was unable to create a translation,

since the translations are created through the content items menu, but there is no content item for a custom form.

This is very problamatic for me because i need the localizations to show the right form on the main menu.

Please help :)

Commented Issue: Define an alternate view of a Field EditorTemplate in current Theme [5]

Is it possible to add an alternate in our theme for a Field EditorTemplate in order to customize the way it is displayed in a form ?

Edited Issue: The pager is never shown [9]

JGAMBA — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:12:10 GMT

Currently the LINQ query for get the item total count for feed the pager is not using the same base used for get the first page of results from the query of any custom forms item. In fact, the query for the pager seems wrong.<br /><br />I did a pull request of a fork at <br /><br />http://orchardcustomforms.codeplex.com/SourceControl/network/forks/JGAMBA/CustomFormsPagerQuery/contribution/3681

New Post: Custom Forms Submisison to Database

virtualtap — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 21:05:13 GMT

Hello all,

I am new to orchard, I have created a custom form and I have created a rule to have the submission emailed. Works great! But now I would also like the results to go into the database, however I cant find anything that explains how to do this. I don't want to go off doing some crazy time consuming thing if there is a clear path. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Commented Issue: No Form Submission Content In Emails [1]

virtualtap — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 06:43:21 GMT

Form submissions are saving to the db and emails are being sent, but no matter which tokens I use (rules>send email> body) I'm unable to get the form submission contents to appear in the body of the emails.
Is this a bug or just not yet built into the module?

Thanks,
JV
Comments: add the tokens to the subject body For example I have the following in the subject contact submission from {Request.Form:Contact.Name.Value} and the following in the body <p>Details are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Contact Name: {Request.Form:Contact.Name.Value}</li> <li>Contact Email: {Request.Form:Contact.Email.Value}</li> <li>Contact Phone: {Request.Form:Contact.Phone.Value}</li> </ul> <p>Message:</p> <p>Contact Message: {Request.Form:Contact.Message.Text}</p> Note that when you go to the rule you will see something similar to the following When a custom form for types (Contact) is submitted. where (Contact) is what I put in the Token ie {Request.Form:Contact....

New Post: CustomForm creation fails on Orchard 1.4.2

jackinthegreen — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:24:55 GMT

I follow the directions here carefully and all goes fine, but when I save or publish a custom form I get a page not found at the designated URL and the below error shows in the logs:

2012-09-27 12:27:56,077 [41] NHibernate.Util.ADOExceptionReporter - Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__orchard___3214EC0744FF419A'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.orchard_Common_CommonPartRecord'. The duplicate key value is (255).
The statement has been terminated.
2012-09-27 12:27:56,077 [41] Orchard.ContentManagement.DefaultContentManager - GenericADOException thrown from IContentHandler by Orchard.Indexing.Handlers.CreateIndexingTaskHandler
NHibernate.Exceptions.GenericADOException: could not insert: [Orchard.Core.Common.Models.CommonPartRecord#255][SQL: INSERT INTO orchard_Common_CommonPartRecord (OwnerId, CreatedUtc, PublishedUtc, ModifiedUtc, Container_id, Id) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)] ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__orchard___3214EC0744FF419A'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.orchard_Common_CommonPartRecord'. The duplicate key value is (255).
The statement has been terminated.

When I look in the dbo.orchard_Common_CommonPartRecord table, there is no record with PK value of 255. The PK isn't an Identity column, but when I create a test page the PK value follows the failed form attempts indicated record id numbers, like they're actually there (ie: if I create a test page now, it will be numbered 256, though no 255 exists). Strange. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help/tips!

Created Issue: Multiple fieldsets not needed and missing legend [8]

nxtjv — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:11:00 GMT

Maybe this isn't a custom forms issue and simply a fields issue, but whenever a custom for is created each field gets wrapped in its own fieldset tag. This is not the way fieldsets should be utilized as far as I understand it. Instead rather a fieldset should include a legend and then the fields should be wrapped in a single fieldset (thus the tag fieldSET).
Not sure how best to handle this so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
