Build apex page action with urlfor in controller

Hi Community,
I have created a new 'OpportunityOffer' object and I can only create a new OpportunityOffer object as a child object of an Opportunity.

So I want to override the New button of the OppertunityObject, because I have to set the recordtype automatically. If I have an Opportunity with type (custom field) X, than I have to set the recordtype X for the new OpportunityOffer.

I created the following:

<apex:page standardController="OpportunityOffer__c" extensions="ManualOfferRecordTypeSelectionExtension"
           action="{!URLFOR($Action.OpportunityOffer__c.New, null, [retURL=URLFOR($Action.Opportunity.Tab, $ObjectType.Opportunity), RecordType='{!recordType}'], true)}">

My Controller finds the right recordtype - but I think that the action does not wait for the result of my controller - the wrong recordtype is set. I tested to set a recordtype Id into the action, that worked - but not with a controller value.

Is there a way to create the action in the controller? I found nothing in the internet that help me..

Hi MXG, 

you can develop the redirection into am method of ManualOfferRecordTypeSelectionExtension extension using pagereference. Thereafter you can also put record type id to that URL. I think it is not happening in your code as generation of  {!recordType} is happening later than the page getting loaded.

Thanks,

Thank for your answer, but I am new at apex and I don't know how to build the URLFOR function as a pagereference. Co you have a example?

Hi Prosenjit, here is my Extension code:
   
public Id recordType { get; set; }
    
    // constructor
    public ManualOfferRecordTypeSelectionExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        OpportunityOffer__c opportunityOffer = (OpportunityOffers__c)controller.getRecord();
        Id opportunityParentId = this.opportunityOffer.OpportunityRef__c;
        Opportunity opportunity = [SELECT Id, ProductDescription__c FROM Opportunity where Id=:this.opportunityParentId];
        RecordType recordType = [SELECT Id FROM RecordType WHERE Description=:opportunity.ProductDescription__c];
        
        this.recordType = recordType.Id;
        
    }
