Form2Mail

Hi

Has anyone written a contact us form module where you can configure what you want to go on the form?

that would be a great feature
Searched the forums but it didn't seem to find anything relevant

Do you need the data fields to be dynamic? That would be cool, but I haven't reconfigured ours for meta style fields yet. If you would like a Nolics dbclass and corresponding module and client facing usercontrol I would be happy to give you our new one.

Sincerely,

Ben

thanks ben that sounds great if i could grab that off you

cheers

I think I posted the latest one at this thread:

http://www.sitefinity.com/support/forums/support-forum-thread/b1043S-hetbe.aspx

There is a link to a download and some instructions. It's not as dynamic as we would like. If I were to rewrite it I would use a key, value, validator field set in a contactForm.dbclass so that you could create as many fields as you would like then cycle through them dynamically creating the form. Finally, I would store values with a key value contact.dbclass. That would be a fun project. If you click on the map at alighten.com home page you can see the contact form in a RadWindow. The same control is displayed on the alighten contact page.

You can download the simple alightenWindow popup UserControl here:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Ben,

thanks a lot for sharing your contact module with us - actually we tried to use it, but we get an error in the AlightenContactConfiguration.cs at line 3:

public class AlightenContactConfiguration : ConfigurationSection

We converted all your code to c#, using a code converter. Do you have got any idea why we could get an error at this point?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Kind regards,

Milen

Hmmm...

Here is what the contactconfiguration looks like using the Telerik code converterL

public class AlightenContactConfiguration : ConfigurationSection
{

 public string ServerAddress {
  get { return (string)this("serverAddress"); }

However, I suspect that there is something missing from the web.config. In the config sections you should have
