Sitefinity forms popup template

September 08, 2017

Default MVC sitefinity forms template is missing a couple things

1. FormViewModel does not expose the forms title
2. Does not provide any way to specify a template... now it looks like you can set a custom form for a specific form based convention, but that would be annoying to keep re-implimenting.  What we want here is the ability to have an SF form popup in a modal window.
3. So based on #2 we're also missing some meta fields to change the button text... so... yeah

ANYWAY on to the new template, for reference this is the existing template.

Usage to make a form popup with this template

• In the designer add a class name of "modal" or "popup"
• To change the button text add the class of "title-<whatever>".  Everything after the dash will be used in the title and *NOT* added to the class of the form. 
• CssClass Examples:
  popup title-This is my Button
  modal title-Click Me

TLDR: Basically this just wraps the existing form code in a bootstrap modal window code and only renders it if it see's "popup", "modal", or "model" in the CssClass field.  It would be awesome (any telerik'r reading this if there was a template dropdown).

Here's the result
