I took a look at the code and there was no link with dictionary items. So i adjusted it a little, if there is a dictionary item with the name of the property it displays the dictionary item.

Well i downloaded the source from codeplex ( May 20 at 10:58 AM ) and there was no link with dictionary items in there. Maybe in a later version.

OK, I tested the above..

In v.3, if you use the #item syntax in the property's name field for the document type, the value will show up on Autoform (Plus is the version I used). However, it does not seem to work in the admin area, probably due to me having the wrong culture being set on the user.

This is handled in the lower levels of the code, and is somewhat difficult to find, but it is part of the property type class....

example: http://lb1.ourdevsite.com/ "test 123 from dictionary" is from the dictionary item...

also, the required text will resolve with a #item approach, default being #required.

and i you set the property mandatory, is the error text correct ?

Which source (umbraco or Autoform)?

I can get you into the extension side of things, but Niels will have to get you into the other...

Autoform, so the extensions

I made several minor changes and bug fixes to AutoFormPlus.

Changes:
Some minor layout changes and CSS related changes
• added a required class to list item tag for properties that are required.
• moved the class name for the editor control from the label to the list item.
• changed required text container from a paragraph to a label to match the actual text. this will free the description to be the only p tag.

New properties
• HideTabNames - removes the legend of the tab name.
• FormSubject - you can customize the subject of the form email now.
• FormMessage - you can customize the message of the form email now.
• ResponseCopyTo - you can (blindly) copy your Response message to other users now.
• NextButtonText - you can change the text on the button (supports dictionary lookup)
• PreviousButtonText - you can change the text on the button (supports dictionary lookup)

message tags. Now work for both Response Message and Form Message fields
• [#URL] - the url of the page the form was submitted from (and the generated id)
• [#FORM] - the output of the form in a roughly structured format.
• [property] - the form property alias (case sensitive).

Improved Dictionary support (default dictionary items)
• Thank you message (#thanks)
• Response Message (#response)
• Response Subject (#subject)
• Required text (#required)
• Title label (#title)
• Next Button (#next)
• Previous Button (#previous)
• Submit Button (#submit)


Tab Names do not work with autoform when using the dictionary due to the means in which the tabs are specified. Thus, the work around for now is to hide them.

I will try to write up some more detailed instructions soon..
