I'm trying to create a Sitecore template which would have a field that is Web Form for Marketers which could be set by user. I'd prefer it to be as a field, however I don't how to do that. Is there anyone who could help me? Thanks
This is not possible as the Web Forms for Marketers data is captured directly in the WebForms database, not the master database, so you can't apply a custom form into a field. The form is actually generated on the front-end via a custom control (I believe its called the Form Interpreter).

I need to populate some fields depending on the selection of a dynamic dropdown.
Those fields need to use a WS to get the value using the selection as parameter.
I'm working with CE.
I assume this question is in the context of a form you've created with Form Builder:
With Orbeon Forms PE, you can do this with the Form Builder UI by creating an HTTP Service corresponding to your Web Service, and creating an action that calls the service upon the value of your dynamic dropdown changing.
With Orbeon Forms CE, you can't use the Form Builder UI, as services and actions are only supported in the PE, and would need to resort to writing your own XForms code that does this.
I would like to add some custom filter on Web Forms for Marketers Form Report, is it possible?
For example: My contact page contains Name,Email,Phone Number,Request Type,Description.
In this page I would like to see the data filter by Request Type,Date.
Web Forms for Marketers Form Report is Sitecore SPEAK application. It means that you are able to customize and extend it using SPEAK framework. SPEAK is quite good extendable and you are able to customize any SPEAK application without any dirty tricks.
So, general answer is YES, it is possible.
However, I am not sure about efforts that you will need to do it. And will it enough for you to use only existing business components library, or you will need to create your own components.
I am using WFFM in Sitecore 7.1 , one of the requirement to have a field named Countries and want to use it as autocomplete field.
I have already loaded all the Countries in Sitecore as Sitecore Object.
I was following the Custom Credit card field , but it didn't help much.
I created custom autocomplete Field in WFFM and now i want to create custom validation for this field .
Any help..
Thanks
To keep it simple you might want to consider a custom control like credit card and use client side JS to call your countries via sitecore web API and then do all the auto complete stuff in the js leaving all logic there.
If server side code is a preference then u can write a web service to return you the JSON objects of matching countries making your JS more simpler.
Hope this can help with some ideas.
We are using Sitecore's Web form for Marketer's module to generate forms. Now i have a special requirement, i need to created a form using Web Form for Marketer's module which will post to an extrenal site web page. External site web page is expecting certain form fields so i need to make sure that form fields generated by Web Form for Marketer has id/name as we want to send it to page on external site.
Is this possible using web form for marketers? If not what would be best practice to have such form in sitecore?
We are using sitecore 6.4.
The easiest way to implement it is to create custom Web Forms for Marketers Save Action, and assign it to the form.
In that action, just read the field values and post data to external form using WebRequest, see the example here - How to submit http form using C#
I want to create a form with two controls(radio button and file upload), with Web Forms for Marketers in Sitecore.
Something like this:
Yes
No
(File Upload here) (Browse button here)
If the user checks Yes radio button, the file upload will become mandatory. Otherwise it's not a mandatory field.
How do I make this possible? The Sitecore documentation only has very limited information. I was trying to create a user control and implement validate user control class, but I was stuck because have no idea with the functions I need to override.
Suggestions?
From my personal experience with custom actions on Webforms for Marketeers forms I would say this would typically be a use case in which you should develop your own form and not use Webforms for Marketeers functionality. With alot of coding / configuring you should probably in the end be able to set it up like the description you give, but I think you would be better of creating a form yourself in this scenario. I have been able to do alot with Webforms but there certainly are some constraints eventhough alot is possible.
