URLFOR Custom Visualforce Tab

Let's say you have a Visualforce tab called Sample_Tab that references some Visualforce page. How would one construct a URLFOR function for this tab? I have tried at least the following:

 

 

{!URLFOR(Sample_Tab)}
{!URLFOR($Action.Tab.Sample_Tab)}
{!URLFOR($Action.Sample_Tab)}
{!URLFOR($Tab.Sample_Tab)}
{!URLFOR($Component.Sample_Tab)}

 

Thanks!

So there isn't a way to reference the page "as a tab" so to speak. You can reference the page, however. So say your page named "Sample_Page", the syntax is:

 

 

<apex:page >
    <apex:outputLink value="{!URLFOR($Page.sample_page)}">Sample Page</apex:outputLink> 
</apex:page>

 

 

Now to get your page to show up "as a tab" you need to modify your sample page to declare it's intended to be shown under a specific tab. Using your tab name you'd need your sample page to look something like this:

 

 

<apex:page tabStyle="Sample_Tab__tab">
    Tab Content
</apex:page>

I can see how that would work in most cases, but, unfortunately, it won't work in our case. I will probably just have to add it to the Idea Exchange...

 

Thanks.

Why will that not work?  Does your page need to be displayed under many different tabs?  Please cross-reference your idea to this post. 

 

Thanks,

Yes, the Visualforce page needs to display as different tab styles.

 

Thanks.

Sorry there isn't a working solution yet. Please do cross reference the idea from this thread so others who come across this can support it.
