I am looking for a complete example of using a document type, view and custom controller in umbraco 4.8.
On a project, I am considering this for a Create Profile type of page. I would envisage this working by
1. Having a document type in umbraco called CreateProfile (The Model)
2. Having two views
a. A "Create" view containing the form which takes data from the visitor.
b. A "Complete" view to be returned on completion.
3. A controller to
a. Return the "Create" view as the default view.
b. Contain a "Create" [HTTP-POST] method to take back the view/model to create the member profile data in umbraco
c. Return the "Complete" view if the post was valid
I have a very basic knowledge of MVC (probably shown by the way im describing things in this post!).
I have taken a look at the documentation around views, surfaces
controllers etc. but am struggling to piece it all together for what I am
trying to achieve.
Thanks guys, it makes sense now. Have been able to get a surface controller, view models and views working in my project with both http get's and post's.
