hoagieryder Lookup Field in Visualforce Page
I am trying to insert the Opportunity Owner field in a visualforce page that I have created that is basically a replica of our standard Opportunities Details Page. Right now it is not showing up, what am I doing wrong?
<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity" extensions="NewOpportunityCT">
<apex:sectionHeader title="New Opportunity"/>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="New Opportunity" mode="edit">
<apex:pageBlockButtons title="New Opportunity">
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:pageBlockSection title="Opportunity Information">
<apex:outputField value="{!opportunity.OwnerId}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.CloseDate}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.stagename}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.accountid}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.probability}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.type}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.amount}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.id}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection title="Additional Information" columns="1">
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.leadsource}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.nextstep}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection title="Description Information" columns="1">
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.description}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.Competitors__c}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
if i understood your question correctly, did you pass the Opportunity Id in the Url of your page for to view the record details.
Example:
https://www.na1.salesforce.com/apex/yourVfpage?id=OpportunityId

No, this page is only being displayed when a user clicks the "New" button under opportunities. I overrode the new button because I do not want the Opportunity Name field to be displayed when creating a new opportunity. On the standard new opportunities page, the Opportunity Owner field appears as an output box with the name of the user that created the Opportunity.
aah, i know what you are looking for.
Opportunity Owner field has the value of the User name who clicked on the "New" button.
User Object are accessible globally using $ symbol.
This example might help you:
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" > <apex:form > <apex:pageBlock title="New Opportunity"> <apex:pageBlockButtons location="both"> <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/> <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2"> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem > <apex:outputLabel > Opportunity Owner</apex:outputLabel> {!$User.FirstName} {!$User.LastName} </apex:pageBlockSectionItem> </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page>Sales4ce
That worked great, thank you so much! I previously got the name to display but was not able to display it in the standard format.
Since you were so helpful, I ran into one other problem and was wondering if you had a quick solution. In the new page when I select the Stage dropdown, the Probabilty % field is not generated like it is in the standard opportunity page. Do I need to use apex:actionSupport to get the percent to generate depending on the dropdown value?
You should use a controller extension and then in the Visualforce page use the Action Support tag to rerender for event="onchange".
This should help you :
VF page:
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" extensions="OpportunityExtension" > <apex:form > <apex:pageBlock title="New Opportunity" mode="edit" id="thePageBlock"> <apex:pageBlockButtons location="both"> <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/> <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2"> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem > <apex:outputLabel > Opportunity Owner</apex:outputLabel> {!$User.FirstName} {!$User.LastName} </apex:pageBlockSectionItem> <apex:inputField value="{!Oppty.StageName}"> <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="thePageBlock" /> </apex:inputField> <apex:pageBlockSectionItem > <apex:outputLabel >Probability (%) </apex:outputLabel> <apex:inputText value="{!Probability}" required="false"/> </apex:pageBlockSectionItem> </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page>Apex Controller:
public class OpportunityExtension {
Public String probability;
Public Opportunity oppty {get;set;}
public String getProbability(){
if(oppty.StageName=='Prospecting' || oppty.StageName=='Qualification')
return '10';
else if(oppty.StageName=='Needs Analysis')
return '20';
else if( oppty.StageName== 'Value Proposition')
return '50';
else if( oppty.StageName== 'Id. Decision Makers')
return '60';
else if( oppty.StageName== 'closed won')
return '100';
else
return '0';
}
public Void setProbability(String prob){
this.probability=prob;
}
public OpportunityExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
if(oppty==Null){
oppty=New Opportunity();
}
}
}
FYI, this approach violates best practises as if at all you want to change the picklistvalues and their corresponding probabilities the code would not work. I would see if anyone might come up with a better approach.
I shall keep an eye on this for a better solution.
