Yes this is called Mashup.

Create a visualforce page with standardcoltroller="Opportunity" with plain, HTML and or other data text and then go to the Opportunity pagelayout and drap drop this visualforce page where ever u want in standard pagelayout. After adding click on the properties and adjust the height and width properties to adjust size of the VF page.

Hello @vriavm,

 

i have a problem , as you mentioned i added a VF page in Standar Page and its working fine but i have a situdation where i need to hide this VF page, i have a checkbox in opportunity page, if that is checked i need to hide this VF page, is it possible?

If you want to show this VF page only in the Detail mode not in the edit mode then you can add logic to the controller supporting VF page to blank out text if the checked value on the sobject is true.

 

If you want dynamic refresh i.e. when you have it in detail mode too then you have to think about adding the check box to the VF page rather than the standard page and use AJAX with in VF page.

Hello @vriavm,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

i want to hide complete VF page, VF page has property width, height and if hiding conent inside VF page only, VF page still take much empty space.

 

So need to hide VF page itself, is it possible?

Ok then create two record types/pagelayout (assign Pagelayout 1 for Record type 1 assigned when check box is checked anf othe other one for orher scenario) and when the check box is checked and saved please flip the record type. Then because of the record type and pagelauout assigment magic everything will work fine ...

The Opportunity page, i have, is very large , in this page as you suggested i added a VF page to show some HTML, now there is a condition where i need to show/hide this VF page on a checkbox selection. Now as you said i need to create Two Opportunity page layout where one will use VF page and another will not but as i said earlier this Opp page is very large and will be very time consuming if creating a clone of this, any other easy solution will you suggest?
