Kentico 8.2 Free Edition License Question

Jim Piller asked on October 7, 2015 17:56

Hello,

I am using the Kentico Free Edition 8.2 and I have setup a BizForm that I am trying to implement. I was under the impression that you could have one form on the free edition of Kentico, but when I submit the form, I get the following error:

The license limit for feature BizForms was exceeded. Please check the event log to get more details.

I have verified that there is only one form, I started w/ the blank site template, so I don't think there is a hidden form anywhere in the system as the CMS_Form table only has one record for the form I created.

Is the form not accessible through the API? My submit code is below...any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim P.

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    BizFormInfo formObject = BizFormInfoProvider.GetBizFormInfo("HomePageContactForm", SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);

    // Gets the class name of the 'ContactUs' form
    DataClassInfo formClass = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClassInfo(formObject.FormClassID);
    string classname = formClass.ClassName;

    if (formObject != null)
    {
        ObjectQuery<BizFormItem> data = BizFormItemProvider.GetItems(classname)
            .WhereEquals("Email", Email.Text)
            .Columns("Email");

        if (DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(data))
        {
            formObject.SetValue("Email", Email.Text);
            formObject.SetValue("FormInserted", DateTime.Now);
            formObject.SetValue("FormUpdated", DateTime.Now);
            formObject.Insert();

            Response.Redirect("/ThankYou");
        }
        else
        {
            Response.Redirect("/EmailExists", true);
        }
    }
}

Ok just checking. As I looked at your syntax, it looks to be incorrect. Your formObject object is a BizFormInfo object (new biz form) and not an actual form item. See code below:

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    BizFormInfo formObject = BizFormInfoProvider.GetBizFormInfo("HomePageContactForm", SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);

    // Gets the class name of the 'ContactUs' form
    DataClassInfo formClass = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClassInfo(formObject.FormClassID);

    if (formClass != null)
    {
        ObjectQuery<BizFormItem> data = BizFormItemProvider.GetItems(formClass.ClassName)
        .WhereEquals("Email", Email.Text)
        .Columns("Email");

        if (DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(data))
        {
            BizFormItem formRecord = BizFormItem.New(formClass.ClassName);
            formRecord.SetValue("Email", Email.Text);
            formRecord.SetValue("FormInserted", DateTime.Now);
            formRecord.SetValue("FormUpdated", DateTime.Now);
            formRecord.Insert();

            Response.Redirect("/ThankYou");
        }
        else
        {
            Response.Redirect("/EmailExists", true);
        }
    }
}

You need to create a new instance of the BizFormItem BizFormItem.New(form class name)

I'm not sure you can access that particular API with the free version. Instead I would try and use the default form process and see if that works...if so then you will know the limitation.
