Hi all,

I'm a Salesforce admin and not a developer, so please be gentle! My situation is as follows. I want a specific profile to be able to modify some specific fields on users, but without giving them access to setup!

Created a VFpage using a custom controller. This is the custom controller:

public class alfabet {

    public PageReference quicksave() {
        return null;
    }

   
  


     
    private List<userSet> userSetList{get;set;}
    private string userListQuery;
    private set<user> selectedUser;
    
    public List<string> alphabet{get;set;}
    public boolean fals{get;set;}   
    
    public alfabet(){
      fals=false;
      alphabet=new string[]{'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', 'All' };  
      userSetList = new List<userSet>();
      selectedUser = new set<user>();
      userListQuery= 'select id,name,Regio__c,Regio_User__c,Profile.Name,FTE__c,Scorecard_Activity__c,Scorecard_Sales_Category__c,Scorecard_Sector_Region__c from user where IsActive=True limit 1000';    
    }
    
     Private void updateSelectedUser(){
        for(userSet cs:userSetList ){
           if(cs.checked)
               selecteduser.add(cs.ouser);
           else{
               if(selecteduser.contains(cs.ouser))
                   selecteduser.remove(cs.ouser);
               }
       }   
    } 
    
      public ApexPages.StandardSetController standardSetCon {
        get {
            if(standardSetCon == null) {
                standardSetCon = new ApexPages.StandardSetController(Database.getQueryLocator(userListQuery));
                // sets the number of records in each page set
                standardSetCon .setPageSize(25);
            }
            return standardSetCon ;
        }
        set;
    }
 
    public List<userSet> getCurrentList() {
       updateSelectedUser(); 
       userSetList = new List<userSet>();       
        for (user category : (List<user>)standardSetCon.getRecords()){        
            if(selectedUser.contains(category))          
            userSetList.add(new userSet(category,'true'));
            else
            userSetList.add(new userSet(category));
        }
        fals=false;
        return userSetList;
    } 
    
    public PageReference refreshList2() {       
       standardSetCon = null;     
       string s;
       if(apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('alpha') == 'All')
           s='%';
       else
           s= apexpages.currentpage().getparameters().get('alpha')+'%';
       
       userListQuery= 'select id,name,Regio__c,Regio_User__c,Profile.Name,FTE__c,Scorecard_Activity__c,Scorecard_Sales_Category__c,Scorecard_Sector_Region__c from user where IsActive=true AND name like' +'\''+s +'\''+ ' limit 5000';           
        return null;
    }
    
   
    
    public List<user> getDisplaySelectedList(){
        updateSelectedUser();
        List<user> displaycon = new list<user>();
        displaycon.addall(selecteduser);
        return displaycon;
    }
       
    public class userSet { 
        public Boolean checked{ get; set; }
        public user ouser { get; set;} 

        public userSet(){
            ouser = new user();
            checked = false;
        } 
        public userSet(user c){
            ouser = c;
            checked = false;

        } 
        public userSet(user c,string s){
            ouser = c;
            checked = true;

        } 
    }
     
  
}

The VF page shows filterlinks above the page a b c d e f g.... to show users beginning with that letter. The records are preceded by checkboxes. When a check a couple of users and I click a button "Display Selected", the selected users are shown in a second block with a couple of updatable picklistfields from the user object. When I change the values of the different entries and picklists and then hit "Update Users", I would like the fields on the userrecord to be updated, but it doen't update them. And I've been searching for hours now and can't find the solution.

This is the code of the Visual Force page:

<apex:page Controller="alfabet" tabstyle="User">
<style type="text/css">
      .loadingIcon {
            background-image: url(/img/loading.gif);
            width: 16px;
            height: 16px;
        }
     </style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkAll(cb,cbid)
        {
            var inputElem = document.getElementsByTagName("input");                      
            for(var i=0; i<inputElem.length; i++)
            {   
                
                 if(inputElem[i].id.indexOf(cbid)!=-1){                                         
                inputElem[i].checked = cb.checked;
                }
            }
        }

Till here everything works fine and it does exactly what it has to do, but it doesn't write the changes back to the database! HELP

I would really appreciate someone to write down the exact code (I guess in the controller) to be adapted or added to get the button to save those values in their respective records.

kindly appreciated!
