Hi Alistair

I think this is a known issue in 6.2.0 unfortunately. The same issue was in 7.1.2 as you can see here http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-4855 - It has been fixed with the release of 7.1.3.

I suspect this will also be fixed in the upcoming 6.2.1 release - But could not find a reported issue in the tracker though.

Thanks Jan

Im having the exact same issues which is now causing me large project delays.

I dont want to downgrade the Umbraco version as I will be using the new member API etc on it soon as well.

I have checked the form picker data type is there, checked the param on the macro etc.

The full error im getting from the log is:

2014-05-22 14:42:45,889 [30] WARN  umbraco.macro - [Thread 9] Error loading MacroEngine script (file: MvcRenderContourForm.cshtml, Type: ''. Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

Hi Gavin and welcome to our :)

Downgrading would be a drastic step currently I feel since there is work in progress on solving it in the core. If v6 was canned then it would perhaps be the best option unless one knows how to digg into the core and fix the issue.

I think that the options you have are

1: If you have bought a license you should be able to get in touch with support using zendesk 2: If you don't have a license then perhaps try adding a comment to the issue I referenced above and see if some of the core member will repsond - Perhaps they can provide you with a build that contains the files that needs to be upgraded to fix the issue.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your response.

I might just write a custom form myself and submit the data as for one of them I need to create a workflow to redirect to whichever PDF the user has selected previously.

Thanks

Gavin

Hi Gavin

That's of course also an option - but it you need to set parameters on that form in the rich text editor you'll probably see the same issue if i'm not mistaken?

It's not just when using Contour but when trying to add any kind of macro.

OK, ill have to have a think as this form functionality is a core part of the site im working on and I have deadlines to hit so need to make a decision fast.

Very frustating though and my first major gripe with Umbraco in 2 years.

While I DO get that error in the RTE and trying to preview the form , eventually the form works fine when you publish the page, right? Or do you get other errors there.

I'll try to figure out what the problem with the preview is.

Good news, this is fixed in the latest nightly build so it'll be fine when we release 6.2.1, hopefully next week.

Hi Sebastiaan,

Do you know when it will be confirmed as my deliverable on this project is currently in two weeks and depending on the release I could leave this core element until the end but I dont want to run out of time?

Just seen your tweet and when I was adding the form through the RTE all I was seeing was this outputted message and no form:

Please provide a valid form Id

The error in the log is the same as posted above:

2014-05-22 15:59:58,749 [7] WARN  umbraco.macro - [Thread 13] Error loading MacroEngine script (file: MvcRenderContourForm.cshtml, Type: ''. Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

   at umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.getCurrentNodeId()

   at umbraco.macro.GetCurrentNode()

   at umbraco.macro.loadMacroScript(MacroModel macro)

   at umbraco.macro.renderMacro(Hashtable pageElements, Int32 pageId)

But, I have since gone into a template and added the form by rendering the macro that way and my form displays.

If this all works then I can live with that for the time being, not ideal but ...

:-)

Although, there are some odd errors in the log now being thrown now when the form is rendered:

2014-05-22 16:05:53,671 [7] WARN  Umbraco.Web.Dictionary.DefaultCultureDictionary - [Thread 23] Error returning dictionary item 'Submit'. Exception: System.ArgumentException: No key Submit exists in dictionary

Thanks for all your help people.

I'll try to update this topic once I've confirmed the release date.

Not sure why you'd get Please provide a valid form Id as when you pick the form through the insert macro button, it should ask you which form to render there, right? What does the HTML source in the RTE look like? Should be something like (where umb_formguid is the important part, that needs to match with the ID of the form):

<div umb_macroalias="umbracoContour.RazorRenderForm" umb_formguid="92dca0c4-0077-4e97-ad31-16e8f23507df" ismacro="true" onresizestart="return false;" umbversionid="4ffa3178-0957-46c3-9652-1096d0d2df83" umbpageid="1057" title="This is rendered content from macro" class="umbMacroHolder">

Those errors about the dictionary items are "normal", just warnings and you would only create dictionary items if this were a multilingual site.

If you're feeling lucky, then backup your bin and umbraco_client folder and try these updated files, these are the only files that are different between 6.2.0 and 6.2.1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3006713/621_current.zip
Once 6.2.1 is released you can just upgrade like normal, but in the mean time this updated code could help.

is working on a reply...
