Sending mail to user who submitted the form and datepicker questions
Hi I've got some questions about Contour (package version 1.1.8 (no licence yet),umbraco 4.7.0 on asp.net 4.0) :
1. I want that the user who submited the form receive an email confirmation but can't make it works. I've a field for the email named email. In workflows, i've added a workflow for when the form has been Submitted with the following settings : - Active : checked - Type : send email - Email : {email} - Subject : test - Message : test
Does anyone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong ?
2. On the form (created by using the Designer), I've got a DatePicker field. Is there a way to restrict months displayed (for example, to start and end the calendar from february 2012 to april 2012) ? When selecting a date, the page is doing a postback. Is there a way to avoid this postback ?
#1 - Did you already configure your email settings in the web.config file? You'll need to do that for Contour (or any portion of Umbraco) to able to send emails.
#2 - not in the built-in datepicker, however you could create a custom field type to do this. For a past project I created a datepicker field type based off the jQuery UI datepicker and was able to restrict dates, avoid postbacks, etc pretty easily. If I get some time I'll see if I can package it up, but it may take some time :)

Hello Tom
Thanks for you reply.
For the email sending to the user who submitted the form, it's working now.
Seems that not having a licence was the issue.
For the datapicker, I will take a look at the dev documentation on how to create a custom field type.
Thanks for the help :)
