xForm email

Vote:
 

I'm trying to format the xForm email. We have overriden CustomXFormPageUnknownActionHandler because the channel options are alway None when using the OnbeforeSubmit event.

I have tried getting the form data with xFormData.GetValues(). This only returns the field names and user entered data. How can I get the lable values you see on the form? I was able to iterate through the form fragments with limited success. InputFragment work but when it comes to Checkboxes or Radio button, I can see the lables. The fragments only GetValues() and fragments only return 1 or 0 for radio buttons and not the text.

Some of this doesn't pertain to you but it will get you what you need to get started.

public PollResult GetPollResults(XFormControl xFormControl, XForm form)
        {
            IList<XFormData> data = form.GetPostedData();
            PollResult result = new PollResult();
            ControlCollection controls = xFormControl.Controls;
            result.TotalItems = form.GetPostedDataCount();
            foreach (var item in controls)
            {
                if (item is Select1)
                {
                    var select = item as Select1;
                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.Question))
                        result.Question = select.Label;
                    var options = select.Choices.Items;
                    if (options.Count > 0)
                    {
                        foreach (var option in options)
                        {
                            var value = data.Where(p => p.Data.InnerText == option.Value).Count();
                            var resultItem = new Result();
                            resultItem.Name = option.Value;
                            resultItem.Value = value;
                            resultItem.Percentage = Math.Round(((double)value / (double)result.TotalItems) * 100, 1);
                            result.Results.Add(resultItem);
                        }
                    }
                    break;
                }
            }

            return result;
        }

Ended up wrtiting an extension method instead. Here is hiw we use it. XFormControl is a small class to hold the Name of the control, Lable, and Value.

var xFormControls = xFormPostedData.XFormControls().ToList();

 

public class XFormControl

{

///<summary>

/// Unique identifier of the control

///</summary>

public string Name { get; set; }

///<summary>

/// Label on the XForm control

///</summary>

public string Label { get; set; }

///<summary>

/// Value of the control

///</summary>

public string Value { get; set; }

}

 

///<summary>

/// Extension methods for EPiServer XFormPostedData

///</summary>

public static class XFormPostedDataExtensions

{

///<summary>

///

///</summary>

///<param name="xFormPostedData"></param>

///<returns></returns>

publicstaticList<XFormControl> XFormControls(thisXFormPostedData xFormPostedData)

{

XFormControl control = newXFormControl();

List<XFormControl> controls = newList<XFormControl>();

IEnumerable<XFormsFragment> xFormFragments = xFormPostedData.XFormFragments.ToList();

foreach (var fragment in xFormFragments.Where(f => f isXFormsFragment))

{

string fragValue = fragment.Value;

string fragNameX = fragment.Name;

string fragName = fragment.Reference; //

Type type = fragment.GetType();

//Template for every heading field

if (type == typeof(TextFragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Value = fragValue;

controls.Add(control);

}

//Template for every textbox field

if (type == typeof(InputFragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Label = ((InputFragment)(fragment)).Label;

control.Value = fragValue;

controls.Add(control);

}

//Template for every textarea field

elseif (type == typeof(TextareaFragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Label = ((TextareaFragment)(fragment)).Label;

control.Value = fragValue;

controls.Add(control);

}

//An option in a select control

elseif (type == typeof(SelectOption))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Value = fragValue;

controls.Add(control);

}

//Template for every checkbox field

elseif (type == typeof(SelectFragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Label = ((SelectFragment)(fragment)).Label;

List<SelectOption> options = ((SelectFragment)(fragment)).Options.Where(x => x.SelectedItem).ToList();

if (options != null)

{

foreach (SelectOption option in options)

{

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(control.Value))

{

control.Value = option.Text;

}

else

{

control.Value += ", " + option.Text;

}

}

}

controls.Add(control);

}

//Template for every dropdown field

elseif (type == typeof(Select1Fragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Label = ((Select1Fragment)(fragment)).Label;

SelectOption option = ((Select1Fragment)(fragment)).Options.Where(x => x.SelectedItem).FirstOrDefault();

if (option != null)

{

control.Value = option.Text;

}

controls.Add(control);

}

//Template for every radio button field

elseif (type == typeof(Select1AsRadiobuttonFragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Label = ((Select1AsRadiobuttonFragment)(fragment)).Label;

SelectOption option = ((Select1AsRadiobuttonFragment)(fragment)).Options.Where(x => x.SelectedItem).FirstOrDefault();

if (option != null)

{

control.Value = option.Text;

}

controls.Add(control);

}

//Template for every dropdown field

elseif (type == typeof(Select1tAsDropdownListFragment))

{

control = newXFormControl();

control.Name = fragName;

control.Label = ((Select1tAsDropdownListFragment)(fragment)).Label;

control.Value = fragValue;

}

//Template for every submit button

elseif (type == typeof(SubmitFragment))

{

//This is a submit button

}

}

return controls;

}

}
