Status

Project still requires some changes, mostly with error management on frontend. There are some problem with file input on Vivaldi browser. Server stops after uploading file. I'm not sure yet why this is happening, but it looks like other browsers (like Chrome and Firefox) don't have that bug.

Technologies

• ASP.NET MVC 5
• Entity Framework 6
• Jquery 1.10.2

Setup

To make contact form working application require additional setting file. It should look like this :

  <appSettings>
    <add key="mailAccount" value="example@email.com" />
    <add key="mailPassword" value="ExamplePassword" />
    <add key="host" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
    <add key="port" value="587" />
    <add key="enableSsl" value="true" />
  </appSettings>

File must have extension .config. mailAccount and mailPassword should be changed to real creditentials provided by user. Path to file is defined in web.config in section appSettings:

  <appSettings file="..\..\appsettings.config">

Field file should be changed to match path of new appsettings file.
