DaveHagman Calling a VF page using a custom button
Linking a VF page to a custom button on the Case page seems like an easy task. I create a new custom button, created multiple VF pages to link the button to but when I choose "Visualforce Page" for the button's Content Source field none of my vf pages appear in the drop down. I have made sure that the pages are available to everyone (In the security section for your VF page). Is there something that I'm missing? Sorry if this is a really dumb issue but I know I must be overlooking something really basic.
Dave, a question back to you.
On your vfPage are you using a Standard Controller such as <apex:page standardController="Opportunity" > or <apex:page controller="myCustomController" >
If you are using a <apex:page standardController="Opportunity" > with an extension your vfPage should show up automatically.
If you are using a custom controller you need to edit the sObect your are trying to add the button to with the actual weblink xml:
Sample of a List View Button on Opportunity:
<webLinks>
<fullName>Edit_Selected_Opportunities</fullName>
<availability>online</availability>
<displayType>massActionButton</displayType>
<height>600</height>
<linkType>page</linkType>
<masterLabel>Edit Selected Opportunities</masterLabel>
<openType>sidebar</openType>
<page>OpportunityMassEdit</page>
<protected>false</protected>
<requireRowSelection>true</requireRowSelection>
</webLinks>

I am using a custom controller... not an extension so that's it. Thank you!
