beachbum50 programatically updating an object record in apex
I have a controller extension that needs to have it's own 'customised' !save command. I call it !save2
Question 1: how can I force a record to be saved in apex code? Can I call the standard controller's
!save from within my extension's !save2 ?
Question 2: how can I edit - in code - the object that is to be saved? I need to set one of the record fields
to a specific value before saving.
Question 3: once saved - how do I return to the original record window? How can I redirect to a record
from within apex code?
Any pointers to code examples would really behelpful.
TIA.
Thanks for all your help above - I'm now getting the results that I need thanks to all of your replies above.
Many thanks for helping me get started in VF/Apex.
Cheers.

You can write your own save action method in your controller extension that performs its own DML operation (insert, update, ect).
For example:
public PageReference save2(){ CustomObject__c co = new CustomObject__c(); co.name='setting name field'; insert co; PageReference pf = new PageReference(co.id); return pf; }
There are plenty of details and code samples herehey thanks - that has really helped me. The only reamaining problem I have is how to reference/pass
input field data on my VF page in my controller extension. For example, if I have the following in my VF
page:
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.Order_Job_Comment__c}" /> //----------- NOTE 1
<apex:commandButton action="{!opcancel}" value="Cancel Opp/Order" />
then in my 'custom' controller extension method (in apex) how would I read the value entered for
opportunity.Order_Job_Comment__c ?
public PageReference opcancel() {
if (opportunity == null) {
opportunity = [select id, Opp_Order_Status__c from Opportunity where id =
:ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')];
opportunity.Order_Job_Comment__c = <how to I read the inputField value as above at NOTE 1?>
update opportunity;
}
}
How do you pass VF page input field data or read it in the controller extension apex code?
TIA.
you will need to create a setter method for that field or just simply add a set proprety to you opportunity like below.
public Opportunity oppo{get;set;}
you can view the doc for details about getter and setter methods.
