Hi,

Below is my VF page, but it isn;t available to me to direct a Detail Page button to it - can anyone help as to why?

<apex:page standardController="Custom_Object__c" recordSetVar="Opportunities" showHeader="false" sidebar="false">

    <apex:form>

                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
             </apex:pageBlockButtons>

Greetings!

Can you please try by adding the below in the first line of the visualforce page to see,if it allows you to use the VF on the detail page button:

standardStylesheets="true"

Hi Matthew,

Remove recordSetVar="Opportunities" atrribute if you want to make it available from button.
<apex:page standardController="Custom_Object__c" showHeader="false" sidebar="false"> <apex:sectionHeader title="eVA Qualification Form Edit" subtitle="New eVA Qualification Form"/> <apex:form> <apex:pageBlock title="eVA Qualification Form Edit" mode="edit"> <apex:pagemessages id="pg"/> <apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom"> <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/> <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:pageBlockSection title="Information" columns="2"> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Opportunity__c}" required="true"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.OwnerId}" required="false"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Website_URL__c}" required="true"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Website_Visits_per_Month__c}" required="true"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Existing_SAV_User__c}" required="true"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Stock_Level__c}" required="true"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Sales_per_Month__c}" required="true"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Part_Exchange__c}" required="true"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Number_of_Part_Ex_valuations_per_Month__c}" required="true"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.How_do_they_know_this__c}" required="false"/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Do_they_have_a_valuation_CAP_license__c}" required="true"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.What_are_thier_Business_objectives__c}" required="false"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Consumer_Journey_thoughts__c}" required="false"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Additional_Information__c}" required="false"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> </apex:pageBlockSection> <apex:pageBlockSection title="System Information" columns="2"> <apex:inputField value="{!Custom_Object__c.Name}" required="false"/> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem/> </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page>

Thank you all for your help so far, but it hasn;t worked.... I think it could be down to some important information I missed out....

I want to load this VF page from the Opportunity Object. SO I want it to sit on the Opportunity page layout, and when pressed, it create this custom object record.

Sorry, I wasn't clear at all.

Matthew,

You can use your vf page by creating custom button on opportunity and Choose Content Source as URL

Add the below url
/apex/[yourpagename]

and you wil be able to use it on opportunity object.

Your page right now is not visible it on VF Page select option list as your standard controller is Cusom_Object__c and it must be opportunity in order to show that page on the select option.

If you use standard controller as opportunity then you have to use extension to add save functionality of your custom object through apex code.
