Creating a custom form field to a page type to allow for adding/removing input fields

Hi,

You could also just use a new custom table.

in your page type select "Custom table data list" as a form control in the editin control settings select the custom table and give it a where condition macro.

Something like:

ProjectID = '{% Node.projectID |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}'

you could create a custom editing form to set the projectID by default.

Hi Sebastian, There is indeed no standard Kentico solution for this, so you need to build an custom form control. We build one similar in Kentico v7, to add children (name + date of birth) to your profile. We save the data in one field, like this :

[{"Name":"Child 1","DateOfBirth":"\/Date(1126396800000)\/"},{"Name":"Child 2","DateOfBirth":"\/Date(1172534400000)\/"},{"Name":"Child 3","DateOfBirth":"\/Date(1242086400000)\/"}]

If you want I can send the code to you.

Thank you both for your responses.

Maarten are you able to send me your code?

Hi Sebastian, you can download the formcontrol here : link to formcontrol (OneDrive)

Good luck with the code and if you need help then let me known.

If this answer helped you, please vote for my answer :-)

Hi Sebastian, Did you succedeed with building the custom form control?

Hi Maarten,

I really neeed this functionality. I downloaded your code but there's a missing namespace. "using IBL.Models" gives me an error.

Can you please include it in your code?

Thank you in advance. Odysseas Triantafyllos.

Hi Odysseas, This form control is specially build for our project where we can add dates of your children to your profile. The IBL.Models only contain a model to validate the date. So you need to change the code a bit for addapting to your situation, and don't need to use this piece of code.

But off course you can have the code :

using System;
using Microsoft.Web.Services3.Referral;

namespace IBL.Models
{
    [Serializable]
    public class Child: IValid
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public DateTime? DateOfBirth { get; set; }

        public bool IsValid()
        {
            bool resultDate = true;
            if(DateOfBirth.HasValue)
            {
                resultDate = DateOfBirth <= DateTime.Now;
            }
            return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name) && resultDate;
        }

        public bool IsEmpty()
        {
            return string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name) && ! DateOfBirth.HasValue;
        }
    }

    public interface IValid
    {
        bool IsValid();
        bool IsEmpty();
    }
}

Hi Maarten, thank you for providing this solution. I am trying to implement it in Kentico 9. Would you be able to provide an example for the use of the transformations with this control? My custom control does not render, all I get is the + button but clicking it does not do anything...

Many thanks in advance.
