Umbraco Forms Introduction:
a) Stores the forms in the /App_Plugins/UmbracoForms/Data/forms/ folder
b)  Stores the forms in JSON format
c)  Gives each form a GUID, such as: ea-3e73-4b99-9d81-3055149e3c2e.json that can be used to reference the forms.



In the main umbraco template add links to,

Umbraco 7: List Child Subpages of a particular Document Type

Passing a parameter variable from a Template to a Partial View Example - Passing a Page Id to a Partial View.
In the example below we are passing 3 page Ids (1090. 1091, 1092) to a partial view.  The Partial View will display the details for each of these nodes on a home page.  See final output below.


1) In your Template:
@Html.Partial("HomePageLinksToLandingPages", new ViewDataDictionary{{ "pageId", 1090}}) @Html.Partial("HomePageLinksToLandingPages", new ViewDataDictionary{{ "pageId", 1091}}) @Html.Partial("HomePageLinksToLandingPages", new ViewDataDictionary{{ "pageId", 1092}})

2) The Partial View:
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage @{ var thisPageId = 1090; var stringPage = @ViewData["pageId"]; thisPageId = Convert.ToInt32(stringPage); } <div class="col-md-4"> <article class="common-blog-pos…

The following script allows the User to delete a list of Event Pages by selecting a category:

The Second Example is the same as the First except the Umbraco Data type is listed in a Dropdown.
