You could purchase my add on product Form Wizard Pro, or you could study the code for the included contact form and read the developer documentation to learn how to implement a custom form that sends email.

Best,

Joe

The steps are all here in the Developer Docs online.

If you look at Series 6, Joe is showing you how to build a Guest Book application for mojoPortal.

It is a simple asp.net page with some user inputs which will accept some data along with email address.

Your quote application is even simpler than Joe's tutorial, All you have to add is emailing the data to admin instead of displaying the data.

Your request is 80% done just by following Joe's developer tutorials.

You can even download the completed code for the Guest Book tutorial application here

Hope this helps.

Re: request for quote aspx page

Thanks for the reply and Help. Do I need to download the "source code" or just deployable version from codeplex, IF:

[1] I need to create a customized skin [2] create some small user input forms [3] create one product page with product display and admin-back-end to insert/update/delete the products.

Thanks for all your help.

You don't need to deploy the source code to production and you don't need the source code to create a custom skin.

However if you want to learn how any of mojoPortal works and you want to benefit from the existing code which has examples for most common tasks then you should download the source code. Anyone doing any custom development should use the source code and I recommend always use the latest source code from the repository.

But also consider Form Wizard Pro, it can do what you are trying to do and you don't have to develop it yourself so you can save a lot of development time. You can have your request a quote form up and running in minutes using Form Wizard Pro without any custom development needed.

Best,

Joe

Yes. To start, you need to download the source from codeplex.

I added a link to my post with the location to the Guest Book Source code.

You do not have to create a customized skin. You can use any existing skin.

I see you went from a page to form(s) so want more than one input form and now there's a product page.

Sounds like project scope creep is happening here. This appears to be bigger than you first mentioned

You can use the existing mojoPortal Store/Shopping cart module for a products page.

If you are doing multiple forms and are not an experienced developer, as Joe's said get his Form Wizard Pro.
