    Contact form

    Hi Everybody

    There is a lot of nice PHP / Javascript contact forms out there and I have use some of them with ease.

    But I am still struggling to find a great contact form for Umbraco / .Net with validation etc.

    Please help me find a good and easy solution.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi René

    Take a look at the Contour package this is a good easy solution to make forms in Umbraco. There is a pre contact form example  in this package when you installed the package in your Umbraco installation.

    And a benefit with this package as I see it is that the editors of website can create new forms with the Contour. (You have to give the editor access to the Contour section if they should have the opportunity)

    Here is a video about Conour: http://umbraco.com/products/more-add-ons/contour.aspx

    Hope this is what you need.

    Hi Dennis and Charles

    Thanks for your answer. I have looked at Contour before but never tried it. I think I will give it a try.

    Do i have to buy a license on every homepage i make or can I use it on several?

    Hi René,

    I think that you can find more anwsers of the Contour license on this link http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/customer-area/contour-support-and-download/license-questions.aspx

    Can I add additional domains to the license?

    Yes, additional domains can be added for EUR59 (order here*).  
      * Please note that this is an add-on domain for existing licenses.  Refunds will not be given for this product.

    It is however only meant for websites which has several domains. If you wish to use Umbraco Contour on multiple websites you would need a license per site or get a server license.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    Just one more question. Is there a more simple solution than Contour for small websites which only need a simple contact form without the intregration in Umbraco. I often make websites for small companies like carpenters who doesn't care about the possibility to create new forms. They just need a form so that they can easily receive emails from customers.

    Hi René

    You could try to take a look at Sebastiaan Janssen´s contact form build in Razor, maybe it could be a soultion for you.

    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/cultiv-razor-contact-form

    Or if you´re using a Umbraco version lower than 4.7 http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/cultiv-legacy-contact-form-%28pre-47!%29

    Alternatively you could try this package: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/simple-wd-contactform

    Hi René,

    I am happy to hear that,

    Another alternative you could create your own form, send it by using the the XSLT library method SendMail() http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/sendmail, And I have find an example that you could get inspired of http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/11168-Attach-image-to-an-email-through-umbracolibrarySendMail

    Maybe this could be a solution for you, with this solution you can decide which fields your form or forms should contain. And for the vailidaton at the form you could e.g use the jQuery validate plugin http://plugins.jquery.com/validate. And the documentation for the jQuery validate can be found here: https://github.com/DiegoLopesLima/Validate#readme
