I am trying to figure out how to link a Master/Detail object and a lookup related object in the apex code.
my goals is that i have packages and products. in products, i want to be able to put them into packages if i want to and discount the packages.
in the apex class, how do i start coding this? i am operating from the perspective of the package. from the package i want to populate a multi-select / array of check boxes with all the opportunity products that meet specific parameters (A SOQL SELECT STATEMENT).
i want to be able to add or delete objects from this package, the trick is that this package is linked to the products (That populates opportunity products) via a many:many link using another table.. any ideas?
current visualforce page:
<apex:page standardController="Packages__c" extensions="productpackageextensions"> <!-- <apex:relatedList list="OpportunityLineItems"/> --> <!-- <apex:relatedList list="ProductPackage__c"/> --> <apex:form > <apex:pageBlock title="Let's add Products to Packages {!$User.FirstName}"> <apex:pageMessages /> <apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/> <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/> <h1>Click Save to Add</h1> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:pageBlockSection > <apex:outputField value="{!Packages__c.name}"/> <!-- <apex:inputField value="{!Packages__c.ProductPackage__c.Product2}"/> --> </apex:pageBlockSection> <!-- End Default Content REMOVE THIS --> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page>
current apex class code:
public class productpackageextensions{ private final Packages__c packageObj; public productpackageextensions(ApexPages.StandardController controller) { this.packageObj = (Packages__c)controller.getSubject(); } public Packages__c[] getPackageProducts() { }
The visualforce developer's guide has an example of programmatically creating a multi-select style component. Its around selecting field, but it boils down to a lists of strings (that could be ids) and moving them between available and selected components. That should give you a start in terms of the selection process:

Many to many is simply a junction object in Salesforce parlance - essentially its a record with two masters. In this case one would be the package and the other the product.
