How to add webform to existing content type?
Go to Content type edit page : /admin/structure/types/manage/ [ContentTypeName]. There you can see the webform under the Menu Settings. Just enable it from there.
The appSettings element is a direct child of the element and a peer of the system.web element. Values read from the appSettings element of the Web.config file are always of type String. If the specified key does not exist in the Web.config file, no error occurs.
Is the web.config file always of type string?
Values read from the appSettings element of the Web.config file are always of type String. If the specified key does not exist in the Web.config file, no error occurs. Instead, an empty string is returned. The configuration file should be protected on the server by using Windows security settings to limit who can read the file.
What happens if there is no key in web config file?
If the specified key does not exist in the Web.config file, no error occurs. Instead, an empty string is returned. The configuration file should be protected on the server by using Windows security settings to limit who can read the file.
Is there a one size fits all web form?
Web forms vary in length, format, content type and appearance — there’s no “one size fits all.” They should simply fit your business’s needs and help you gather the information you want from your leads. This also means there’s no single way to create a web form.
What should I include in my Web form?
There are also several other field-entry types for you to include in your forms such as multiple choice, drop-down menus, check boxes, radio buttons and more.
What happens when you submit a web form?
This happens when a person visits your site and submits their information in return for something (such as a product, service or free trial). Once a web form is submitted by a lead, it’s then sent to a server for processing. What Are Web Forms?
Custom forms — You can associate a custom new form, edit form, or display form with a content type. You can use the form building tools in SharePoint Designer 2010 or use Microsoft InfoPath 2010. Once the content type is associated with a list, users will see your forms when they create, edit, and view list items and library documents.
What happens when you create a new content type?
The new site content type you create inherits all of the attributes of its parent site content type, such as its columns, workflows, and document templates. After you create the new site content type, you can make changes to it, such as adding or removing columns.
You can try to customize the list forms as InfoPath forms using SharePoint 2010 designer and in InfoPath you have the liberty to create rules, so you might be able to create rule to check if “Edit Item” form is being opened then only show certain fields. Refer this URL to customize list forms:
