What's new in WebForms 2010 SP1
WebForms 2010 SP1 introduces compatibility with the SDL Tridion 2011 and SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 versions of the SDL Tridion suite. By applying a hotfix, WebForms 2010 SP1 can also run in combination with SDL Tridion 2013 and SDL Tridion 2013 SP1, but only if its Content Delivery implementation uses Java only (no .NET). WebForms 2010 SP1 is not compatible with earlier versions of the suite.
If you are upgrading from a version of WebForms older than 2010, also note that WebForms 2010 introduced the following new features:
- Multiple Forms on one Web page
- WebForms now enables implementers to place multiple Forms, or multiple instances of the same Form, on one Page.
- Internationalization of text elements in Forms
- WebForms now lets you localize and translate the textual elements of a Form, such as labels, hint texts, and other text elements.
- Date field with calendar
- You can now add a Date field to your Form that includes a calendar control. Refer to the Implementation Manual for more information about this control.
- Consolidated Forms
- WebForms introduces consolidated Forms, which greatly reduce the number of Content Manager items used in a Form. This makes it much easier to debug a WebForm and its Field Types.
<div>-based Form Component Templates-
WebForms introduces new sample Form Component Templates that enable you to render Forms using
<div>s rather than HTML<table>s. - Bookmarks in Field Type Editor
- WebForms lets Field Type Editor users add bookmarks to code, to easily jump to specific locations in the template code.
