This Sitefinity content management code sample meets the following requirements: When a user selects a dropdown item, a form corresponding to the selected item will be opened in the form section of the CMS. If a user chooses another item from the dropdown, some other form will be opened. User will fill up the form and upon clicking on the submit button, a form response will be saved.
In the sample we inherit for our FormsControl. The reason why we choose the following approach lies on the fact that the control is working with the Id of the form after it is selected and could be used on the frontend to display the selected form.public
class
FormsControlCustom : FormsControl
Then we override the template path:
public
override
string
LayoutTemplatePath
{
get
{
return
this
.layoutTemplatePath;
}
set
{
base
.LayoutTemplatePath = value;
}
}
public
string
layoutTemplatePath =
"~/FormsControlCustomTemplate.ascx"
;
var selectedValue = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString[
"formId"
];
JavaScript placed on the template:
<script language=
"javascript"
type=
"text/javascript"
>
function OnClientSelectedIndexChanged(sender, eventArgs) {
var item = eventArgs.get_item();
//sender.set_text("You selected " + item.get_text());
var currentHref = window.location.href.split(
"?"
)[0];
if
(currentHref) {
var redirectString = currentHref +
"?formId="
+ item.get_value()
window.location.replace(redirectString);
return
false
;
}
}
</script>
OnClientSelectedIndexChanged
method we make a redirection to the selected form in order to get the correct results. View all posts from Stefani Tacheva on the Progress blog. Connect with us about all things application development and deployment, data integration and digital business.
