Extending VF Opportunity Wizard

Good Morning All,

 

I am trying to create an Opportunity Wizard where a user clciks on a button from a specific account and is taken to a VF Page where they select a contact associated with the account from a drop down list and then enters the new opportunity info.  They then click onNext which takes them to a new page and displays back the infor entered.  I am able to dsiplay back the Account and contact info, but the opportunity info is getting lost.

 

Any suggestions?

 

VF Page 1 Code

<apex:page controller="newOpportunityController" tabStyle="Opportunity">
   <apex:pageMessages id="msgs"/>
   <apex:sectionHeader title="New Customer Quick Quote" subtitle="Step 1 of 3"/>
   <apex:form >
      <apex:pageBlock title="Customer Information" mode="edit">
         <apex:pageBlockButtons >
            <apex:commandButton action="{!step2}" value="Next"/>
         </apex:pageBlockButtons>
         <apex:pageBlockSection title="Account Information">
            <!-- Within a pageBlockSection, inputFields always display with their
               corresponding output label. -->  
            You are viewing the {!account.name} account. <p/>
         </apex:pageBlockSection>

         <apex:pageBlockSection title="Contacts">
            <apex:selectList value="{!selectedContact}" multiselect="false">

You should use page.davidpage2 to get a page reference instead of hardwiring the url for your server. 

You shouldn't need to pass the id as a query parameter since it should be in the viewstate.

Hi David,

 

There are two things because of which you cant show values:

    1) The "opportunity" variable has no setter method to store the value once user enters them.

    2) In the method "step2" when you move to next page you need to preserve the view state of the page at server-side. making the PageReference's variable "pageRef"' to setRedirect(true), the view state gets flushed and hence the user input data.

 

   To tackle the problem you can follow following

1) declare "opportunity" variable as "public Opportunity opp {get; set;}" . This will automatically create getter and setter method. And for the getter code you have placed, you can do that in contructor.

2) please use pageRef.setRedirect(false); in step2 method

 

 

Hope this helps.

Obviously, I am not understanding what you are saying about the get and set.  Can you show me in my code how this is done.

 

I apologize if I am being difficult.

Hi David,

public class newOpportunityController {

    public PageReference step2() {
      PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('https://c.cs1.visual.force.com/apex/davidpage2?id=' + ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')+ '&cid=' + selectedContact);
      //pageRef.setRedirect(true);       
 
     pageRef.setRedirect(false);
     return pageRef;

    }


    
   Account account;
   Contact myContact;
   public List<Contact> contact{get;set;}
   public String selectedContact{get; set;}
   public List<SelectOption> contactList{get;set;}
   public Contact contacts{get; set;} 
   public Opportunity opportunity {get; set;}
  /*
    This will create standard getters and setter like the following
    public Opportunity getOpportunity(){
       return this.opportunity;
    }
    public void setOpportunity(Opportunity value){
        this.opportunity = value;
    }

   You need only setter method to accomplish the task like the "setOpportunity" method,
   if you decide to keep the getter you have already coded below.
  */
   OpportunityContactRole role;


   
   
   public newOpportunityController()
   {      
    opportunity = new Opportunity();
    if (contactList == null)
    {
        List<Contact> contactee = [select id, name, contact.accountid from Contact where contact.accountid = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')];
        contactList = new List<SelectOption>();
        for (Contact c : contactee)
        {
            contactList.add(new SelectOption( c.id, c.name ));
        }
     }   
   }
   
   
   public Account getAccount() {
        return [select id, Name, Phone from Account
        where id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')];
    }
    
      public Contact getMyContact() {
        return [select id, Name from Contact
        where id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('cid')];
    }
    
//not needed.
/*      
 public Opportunity getOpportunity() {
      if(opportunity == null) opportunity = new Opportunity();
      return opportunity;
   }

*/

 public OpportunityContactRole getRole() {
      if(role == null) role = new OpportunityContactRole();
      return role;
   }


   public PageReference test()
   {
    if (selectedContact!=null)
    {
       contacts=[select id, firstName,lastName,email from Contact where id = :selectedContact];
    }
    return null;
   }


}

I really don't understand why I still connot get this to work.  I copied the new code into the controller and page 2 will still not display the opportunity information.
aballardaballard

opportunity was fine the way it was... you don't need a setter since you never set opportunity; just fields within opoortunity.

 

But the setredirect comment above seems correct to me.  If you redirect then you will load a new instance of the page and controller.

You should use page.davidpage2 to get a page reference instead of hardwiring the url for your server.

I hardwired the URL because I could not figure out how to get to the values in the Contact.  Am I missing something obvious?  I just don't understand why my values will not display.

 

Thanks,

David

I think I finally got it.  I removed the hardwire of the URL and changed the following

 

      public Contact getMyContact() {
        return [select id, Name from Contact
        where id = :selectedContact];
    }

 

Now it appears to be working!

 

Thanks so much for everyones help!
