Different ways to dynamically render WFFM Form in MVC

In my last article, I talk about how to dynamically render WFFM form in MVC by specifying hard coded form item Id. But that’s not a good thing.

Let’s take example of below code

@Html.Sitecore().Rendering("{F2CCA16D-7524-4E99-8EE0-78FF6394A3B3}", new

                        {

                            Datasource = "{C316B617-0306-454E-8729-E44F49B84CDD}",

                            UniqueId = "{C316B617-0306-454E-8729-E44F49B84CDD}"

                        });

How to pass form item id to this rendering method?

Query String

One way to avoid hard coded GUID is to use query string. Pass your form id as a query string as

http://sitecorepoc/Test?FormID={C316B617-0306-454E-8729-E44F49B84CDD}

Process this query string in your cshtml file as

@{

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["FormID"]))

    {

        string wffmFormGUID = Request.QueryString["FormID"];

       

        // Validate GUID before passing to Rendering method

       

        @Html.Sitecore().Rendering("{F2CCA16D-7524-4E99-8EE0-78FF6394A3B3}", new { Datasource = wffmFormGUID, UniqueId = wffmFormGUID });

    }

}

The problem with query sting is that users can view, alter them and that can affect the rendering process. Also from SEO prospective query string is not a good option.

Model

Better option is pass the WFFM form id with model in MVC Action Method as

public ActionResult RenderWFFMForm()

{

       Messanger obj = new Messanger();

       obj.WFFMFormId = "{354813EE-441A-472B-84BD-EB430B26B734}";

       return View("RenderWFFMForm", obj);

}

Use below code in view

            <div id="wffmFormDiv">

                @{

                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.WFFMFormId))

                    {

                        string wffmFormID = Model.WFFMFormId;

                        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(wffmFormID))

                        {

                            <div>

                                    @Html.Sitecore().Rendering("{F2CCA16D-7524-4E99-8EE0-78FF6394A3B3}", new

                                    {

                                        Datasource = wffmFormID,

                                        UniqueId = wffmFormID

                                    })

                            </div>

                        }

                    }

                }

            </div>

You can also pass form id using TempData, ViewData or ViewBag as well.
