Hi there,

I've a page type ProjectPage and I want to have a UserDefinedForm on every page, isntead of creating that form every time I create a instance of the ProjectPage, is there any way that I can include it in?

I've tried doing the following :

Create a UserDefinedForm page; with URL QuickContactForm

in my ProjectPage_Controller class

function getForm() {
return DataObject::get_one('UserDefinedForm', 'URLSegment' = 'QuickContactForm');
}

in my template .ss file :
<% control getForm %>
$Form
<% end_control %>

BUT, I get a error page saying that "[User Error] Object::__call() Method 'Form' not found in class 'UserDefinedForm'"

Any suggestions?

Solved now!

Just incase anyone else wants to do the same.. I've done :

class ProjectPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

...

public function getForm() {

$record = DataObject::get_one("UserDefinedForm", "URLSegment = 'QuickContactForm'");

$results = new UserDefinedForm_Controller($record);

return $results;
}
}

This now works fine for me

Hello,

I had the same problem you had described, I did what you had mentioned as a solution, but how do i call the function in the template .ss file. Should i use $ Form or $UserDefinedForm or something else. Please help!!

Thanks in advance :)

@ajaycr - Use $Form. You use $UserDefinedForm only in the Content of the page.

Thank you for posting your solution. Helped me enormously, as I wanted a quick contact form on every page too. Though to get it to work on ss 2.4 I had to use $getForm.Form on the Template and make sure there was a .php file in code, a .ss file in the template and one in the layout also.

I cannot figure this one out..

I want to have form on every page, it shows up fine on the frontpage, but as soon as I go to subpage, i am getting following error:

[User Error] Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'fortemplate' does not exist on 'UserDefinedForm_Controller'

Have you an idea on how to include a user defined form (http://www.silverstripe.org/user-forms-module) to a static sitebar (http://www.ssbits.com/create-a-static-sidebar/) ?
I use SS 2.4.1, tryed many variants described here but without success...

I have been trying to do the same thing (put a form on staticsidebar). If you get an answer to this please post it up! Thanks.
