Update: The project has been started that should amend most, if not all, the problems UmbracoForms have (including AJAX calls). The discussion started on this forum thread: our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/developing-umbraco-7-packages/69933-replacing-contour-umbraco-forms-with-something-better. The website for the solution is: www.formulate.rocks and expected release date is 'early 2016' as stated on their website.
Original post:
I am trying to make an Ajax call with new UmbracoForms, but so far without success. The issue I am experiencing is described in the following OUR Umbraco forum post.
The problem is related with the modification of custom 'Form.cshtml'. Current implementation uses the following HTML helper:
@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<Umbraco.Forms.Web.Controllers.UmbracoFormsController>("HandleForm"))
This causes a post back to the page, which is a problem since the form on the website is being displayed in modal/overlay window.
I have tried the following two implementations:
First:
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("UmbracoForms", "HandleForm", new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "POST",
OnSuccess = "Success()",
OnFailure = "Failure()"
}))
Second:
@using (Html.BeginForm("HandleForm", "UmbracoForms", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data", role = "form" }))
There is additional information on the Umbraco forum page I have referenced, and also there is my comment at the bottom of the post with the described issue.
