Nithin_007 Pass custom object filed value from VisualForce to controller extension
Hi Guys,
I am new to VF and Apex coding
I went though a lot of topic similar to this but no solution to my problem
Problem: in my VF
<apex:inputField id="searchRecordNo" value="{!Record_Tracking_System__c.Record_No__c}" required="true" />
where 'Record_No__c' is a record number user enter in VF - i want to pass this user entered value to controller extension
for that, this is what i did:
public Record_Tracking_System__c record {get; set;}
// Constructor
public RecordControllerExt(ApexPages.StandardController Controller) {
// Initz
record = new Record_Tracking_System__c ();
}
next i want to pass this user entered record number from controller to Record_Tracking_System__c object filed 'Record_No__c' in standard page layout through URL
for that, in controller extension i did this
urlString += '&00NQ000000158Bb=' + record.Record_No__c;
where '00NQ000000158Bb' is the filed id of Record_No__c
but the problem is when i go to standard layout for Record_Tracking_System__c, Record_No__c field is showing 'null' instead of user entered record number
any help is much appreciated

You have to do like this

// Initz
record = new Record_Tracking_System__c ();
this.record = (Record_Tracking_System__c)controller.getRecord();
}
AND in VF like this

You have to a little URL action... Basically open a edit page for that object and then look at the source... you should see the fields and you have to use the ID field in the HTML as the the parameter... So here's an example from the account object
/0013000000Hk0Nu/e?retURL=%2F0013000000Hk0Nu&acc20=testsing
The red is the object ID. I went into the source (ie developer tools element inspector is great for tracking these down) and found this section:
<td class="labelCol last"><label for="acc20">Description</label><div class="textCounterOuter"><div class="textCounterMiddle"><div class="textCounter" id="acc20_counter">31992 remaining</div></div></div></td><td class="dataCol col02 last"><textarea cols="40" id="acc20" maxlength="32000" name="acc20" onpropertychange="handleTextAreaElementChangeWithByteCheck('acc20', 32000, 0, 'remaining', 'over limit');" tabindex="7" type="text" wrap="soft">testsing</textarea></td>
So based on this on this, i can tell that acc20 is the id for the description field in the html. So now I can pass it as a parameter in the URL. So if I click on the above link. It will take me to the edit page and the description field will be pre-populated with testing.

Hi Souvik,
changing <apex:inputField id="searchRecordNo" value="{!Record_Tracking_System__c.Record_No__c}" required="true" /> this to
<apex:inputField id="searchRecordNo" value="{!record.Record_No__c}" required="true" /> in VF solved the problem i was facing
this change in controller throws me an error message
this.record = (Record_Tracking_System__c)controller.getRecord();
thanks
