Relationship - __r.Name not working: multi-step VF form

 

I have a Extension Controller pages where a user go through a 3 step form. On 4th step they  review and submit the form.

 

On page 1, I ask them to select a lookup field called department. I create a new record when they go to page 2. On Page 4 (review and submit), I show them the department using department__r.Name.

 

The department name shows up as empty on page 4. If I do an <outputField department__c/>, I can see the name, but I don't want to do this, since this page is exposed as a sites page as well and a clickable link would error out.

 

If I directly access page 4 at this point (by just typing in the page URL inthe browser), I CAN see the department name. So it doesn't appear to be a security setting issue. The issue happens whether I access the page using sites or as a logged in Admin user.

 

I tried adding department__r.Name as a rendered = "false" on page 1. But it did not work.

 

 

. What could it be?

May not be the case, but still if you could verify whether the field and the object are made available for use in the site.

I did verify the security settings.The issue is not security related due to following confirmations

 

1. The issue happens whether I am using Sites, an Admin user (with View/Modify all data)  or another user.

2. If I just access the Page 4 directly, I see the values

Agreed. If you have a vf page and you are trying to display data from an object, it is required tbat you explicitly provide Read access to that object to be used in the site. What I meant was, to check whether the profile associated with the site has the field and object available or not. Please refer the below link:
