We have a very big section in one form and want it in other forms with some modifications. Can't keep it in the library because section required some modifications before using it in another form. Is there a good way to copy the section from one form to another form?
As of this writing, and Orbeon Forms 2017.1, to copy a section from form A to form B, you need to edit the source of form A, copy the source for the section, open form B, edit the source, and paste the section in the appropriate place.
However, we do have request for enhancement #1839 that covers allowing cut-copy-paste across forms, which as noted in the issue, might not even be super hard to implement.

We’re using Kentico 11.0.26 with MVC.
I need to add an external link under a page.
In content tree it should look something like this:
Page A
Page A1
Page A2
https://www.www.google.com/
The problem is that when I click the + button in Pages application, I only see page types, and there is no option to add a link.
Why not use value of page field to store the link and load the value inside of MVC app? Content tree alone does not have capability for this. All nodes have to be pages in one way or the other and plain old link to external domain can not be placed instead of page. To be honest I do not see benefit of having a link inside of content tree even for menu since you have to create menu using document path and not only its name anyway so accessing additional property should not be that much of a problem.
You could create a new content type to represent an external link and put that into your content tree. This would then also give you options to set additional properties of the link such as target and title rather than just a URL.
This is repeatedly asked many times, however i couldn't find appropriate solution for my problem.
I want to create an Entry Form which will consists of following elements:
Text boxes, drop down fields (auto populated) , check boxes , radio buttons
After my research
i found that i need to create user control, or script file for above form and access it via Macro.
I don't want to use User control as my first preference is to controller-View-Model (i.e. cshtml)
I want to follow MVC approach to create above form. So
1) Do i need to create a seperate project for Add/Edit/Delete/Search Data Entry form?
2) OR i need to create cshtml file for the same(not so clear about this approach)
I'm looking this data entry form with easier for customization and i could use it in other applications as well.
From Umbraco 4.10 up to 6.0.x you can use MVC in Umbraco so there's no need to use an usercontrol. You probably want to use a SurfaceController where you can add any Action you want. The rest is standard MVC (Razor views to build your textboxes, drop downs, ...).
Check out the Umbraco MVC documentation where they explain how to use MVC in an Umbraco project.
I have a form in asp.net mvc 3 project with some properties (a name and some extra properties who need to be filled in).
What i also need is a file to upload in the same form.
I placed an input type "file" and that works when i use Request.File the file is ok.
But i'm also using form validation, so when my name is not filled in, it's not possible to save. That works fine, but then my file is cleared..
Someone who has a good example to use file upload in a form? (with other fields and validation)
In addition to #Neil Knight's excellent references in his answer, if you're using ajax (and you probably are or will be to leverage MVC's ability to facilitate partial page refreshes) the jquery plugin here has proved itself useful in enabling file upload without a full page navigation.
Hi
I want to make reusable component in/for Struts 2 framework. For example, a login form having validations, authentication on form submission, error display, Forgot password link etc.
I want to create this form in such a way so that it can be placed anywhere within the site and in any site without any changes.
Please suggest what should I use or better if you can provide and reference for the example of such type of components.
Thanks

Why not, this is Model View Controller, source code can be reused, for example if you want to go to another framework, everything you will need to modify is View, because each framework has its specific tags, you could do everything with simple html tags, but this is already a framework problem
I have a ViewUserControl that will be used in some pages in my site, but not all.
This ViewUserControl requires a javascript file, so I would like to have the script reference added automatically to the head session of the pages that are using this ViewUserControl, is that possible?
I tried to add a content control to it, but looks like it is not allowed.
I could also add the script tag straight into the ViewUserControl's .ascx code, but then I will have the script reference added N times if I have N of such controls in a page.
Does anyone have any ideas?
In the code-behind of the ASCX, register your script reference (or block). I just answered a similar question explaining how to do this:
How to best control loading of multiple javascript files in ASP.NET?
With this technique, you can have the same control on the page multiple times, yet still include the script only once (and only on pages that actually include the control).
