Question

hopefully will explain this right! Ok, Basically I have a form within my sitecore website. The forms a sublayout. Basically, I want a url with just this form and not the rest of my sitecore site. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Sitecore works such that URLs are associated with content items.

A sublayout is typically an ASP.NET User Control (.ascx) and, as you should be aware, you cannot simply render a .ascx file without a .aspx file (i.e. a Sitecore Layout).

It seems that you have two approaches.

One:

1. Create a content item in your site so that you have a URL.
2. Create a simple layout (.aspx)
3. Setup the presentation of that content item such that you are rendering your new layout and your sublayout.

Two:

If you are literally just trying to render a form, then do you really need to have a content item? Why not just create a .aspx file, load in your user control, and put it in your web root? The URL to your form will be the location you placed your .aspx file. When a physical file is found Sitecore will bow out and simply let that page render.
