02/04/2025, 11:46 AMI need a basic contact form and paying 400$ for Umbraco Froms for this is a bit expensive. I looked on the marketplace for alternatives but did not find anything. What is the recomended way to make a basic form, with captcha protection, in Umbraco? Do I just roll my own, old school style?

03/06/2025, 12:33 PMI have been looking over this and this seems to be really over kill for a basic contact form, Custom views, controellers, looging, custom email processor. I am having a hard time cutting the code down to jsut the basics.
Can anyone suggest a more basic tutorial or package to do a contact form in Umb 13?

03/06/2025, 12:41 PMCutting it down could be just a surface controller with a post action and a partial view with a form post with the fields. you're going to need to do something with the data and youre gonna need the controller part for it to play nice.

03/07/2025, 11:30 AMAfter a lot of digging on google (Umbraco Froms plug is a lot of resultes that I had to go though) I did find https://codeshare.co.uk/blog/how-to-create-a-contact-form-in-umbraco-using-mvc-and-c/ which seems to be the cut down version I am looking for. And your right, it seems it cuts it down to the surface controller and partial view.
