hideawayguy related object activity history
hi again,
i'm in the very beginning stages of trying to get the activity history from a related object to display in a visual force page - very new to this as i'm sure you'll be able to tell...
i have this controller......
public class ContactController {
List<Contact> contact;
public List<Contact> getContact() {
if (contact == null) {
contact = [SELECT Id, Name, Email FROM Contact where Id =: '0035000000Zm8Zq'];
}
return contact;
}
}
and this vf page that calls it...
<apex:page controller="ContactController">
<apex:relatedList list="ActivityHistory" ></apex:relatedList>
</apex:page>
it displays nothing. i'm wondering if i'm even going about this in the right way? my assumption is that if i return the contact from the controller, i should be able to use the apex related list to display the activity history.
any help/direction is greatly appreciated.
Hi,
There is no need for a controller here. What you can do is create a VF Page (let the name be ContactActivityHistoryPage).
<apex:page standardController="Contact">
<apex:relatedList list="ActivityHistories"/>
<apex:page>
And the URL to call this page should be somthing like this https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/ContactActivityHistoryPage?id=contactId
Put yor contact Id in the id parameter of the url.
This page will display all the Activity Hostory related to the record.
Let me know, if this is what you want.

thanks for the suggestion arun... i'll give that a shot as well. while we're on this topic though, i found another solution, albeit one that comes with issues...
so i'm on a custom object (booking) that has a lookup to contact. this code gives me what i want, with some exceptions....
<apex:page standardController="booking__c" showheader="false">
<apex:relatedList list="ActivityHistories" rendered="true" subject="{!booking__c.Contact_Lookup__c}"></apex:relatedList>
</apex:page>
that gives me the activity history that i'm looking for when i place it on the details page as a visualforce page. my problem is the buttons for send email, log a call, etc.. are still at the top of that list AND it's in an iframe or something. when a user clicks on a record, it takes them to an iframe version of salesforce.
2 questions
1. do you know how to get rid of those buttons for just this instance of showing the activity history.
2. is there a way to make the page not submit the links in the iframe, but just submit the whole page ?
thanks again for the help...

I tried this on my Case force.com site and the activity history is not showing up.
please see the code below. I just added the <apex:relatedList list="ActivityHistories"/> at the end of my code to try. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
