Hi Mohammed,

You are saying that you have upgraded Umbraco from 4 to Umbraco 7.2

In Umbraco 7.2 the Contour package is replace by Umbraco Forms, did you have upgraded your Contour to the new Umbraco forms, if not the I think that you should have a look at the Umbraco-forms-migration package developed by Tim Geysens http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-forms-migration

If you use the migration package you should be to following these steps

1. Duplicate DB

2. On the website Umbraco, remove Contour v3

3. On the website Umbraco, install Umbraco Forms v4

4. Install Umbraco Froms Migration Tool

5. Connect migration tool to duplicated database

6. Delete duplciate DB

I found the steps here in this post: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-forms-migration/computer-says-no/59800-Steps-to-use

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Mohammed,

And in this older blogpost from Umbraco there is an little section about the new Umbraco Forms. http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2014/10/28/umbraco-720-beta-out-now and here is a uHangout episode about the Umbraco forms. http://uhangout.co.uk/video/iTKb4k4UJqU

There are also video on Umbraco TV http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/extending/umbraco-forms/intro/, and you will find the documentation here: http://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Products/UmbracoForms/index

Hope this helps,

Hey Dennis,

Thank you for the quick reply, I was not aware of this, I thought Contour was upgraded to support Umbraco 7.2 as I should have mentioned I upgraded it to 3.0.23. Didn't realize I had to switch to "Umbraco Forms". Will try out the solutions and see how it pans out.

Thank You!

Hi Denis,

I was able to get Umbraco Forms up and running but I am still not sure how to get the alternative template going. I swapped out the macro import for the "Email A Friend" master page to Umbraco Forms but it still doesn't work. The form itself works fine if I embed it on a regular content page but how can I get it to work from any page that a person may want to send the link to a friend to?

Hey Dennis,

That's actually exactly what I was doing but I just realized after your response that I was calling the page url as http://www.yourdomain.com/email-a-friend instead which is how it was called when using Contour. Called it without the dashes did the trick.

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
   Layout = "~/Views/MasterPage2.cshtml";
}

@section Content {
   @Umbraco.RenderMacro("umbracoforms.RenderForm", new {FormGuid="938938d9-57ca-4f33-81af-e62f21289c54"})
}

Thanks for the quick response!

Finally got this working now need to do some styling and get the surfacecontroller to work.

is working on a reply...
