Passing Parameters in a URLFOR

Hi All,

My problem is that I am trying to pre-populate fields in a Visualforce page (Case) when clicking on an output link from another page (Opportunity).

 

Output Link

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
    <apex:outputLink value="{!urlfor($Page.wfcallcase, null, [account=opportunity.account.name])}" target="_top">
    Request Workflow Call
    </apex:outputLink>
</apex:page>

 Visualforce Page

<apex:page standardController="Case" sidebar="false" showheader="false">
    
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function CloseAndRefresh()
    {
        window.opener.location.href="/{!case.opportunity__r.id}";
        window.top.close();
          
    }
    </script>
    
    <apex:sectionHeader subtitle="New Workflow Call Request" title="Workflow Call Case Edit" />
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Request a Workflow Call" >
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" oncomplete="CloseAndRefresh()" />
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" onclick="CloseAndRefresh()" />
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
                <apex:inputField id="owner" value="{!case.ownerid}"/>
                <apex:inputField id="origin" value="{!case.origin}" />
                <apex:inputField id="account" value="{!case.accountid}" />
                <apex:inputField id="component" value="{!case.Component__c}" />
                <apex:inputField id="contact" value="{!case.contactid}" />
                <apex:inputField id="priority" value="{!case.priority}" />
                <apex:inputField id="subject" value="{!case.subject}" />
                <apex:inputField id="level" value="{!case.Level__c}" />
                <apex:inputField id="status" value="{!case.status}" />
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" >
                <apex:inputField id="description" value="{!case.description}" />
                <apex:inputField id="obstacle" value="{!case.Obstacles__c}" />
                <apex:inputField id="expectation" value="{!case.Integration_Expectations__c}" />
                <apex:inputField id="plan" value="{!case.Implementation_Plan__c}" />
                <apex:inputField id="date" value="{!case.Scheduled_Contact_Date__c}" />
                <apex:inputField id="time" value="{!case.Time_Info__c}" />
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2" >
                <apex:inputField id="interface" value="{!case.Interfaces_Team__c}" />
                <apex:outputField id="recordtype" value="{!case.recordtypeid}" />
                <apex:outputField id="opportunity" value="{!case.Opportunity__c}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

I am trying to pass the Account Name to the page, but the field is blank.  Can anyone help?

There are 2 parameters you need to pass for thsi

 

cas4_lkid and cas4_mod pass name of account in one and Id of account in second and this will solve your issue

Hi Abhay,

Thanks for the response.  I tried you suggestion, but this did not work.  Also, since I changed the ID of the field on the page, shouldn't I be able to just do the following?  Again, tried both your suggested approach and mine, but it did not work.  Any other suggestions?

 

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
    <apex:outputLink value="{!urlfor($Page.wfcallcase, null, [account_lkid=opportunity.account, account_mod=opportunity.account.name])}" target="_top">
    Request Workflow Call
    </apex:outputLink>
</apex:page>

Can you just check what exact the ID of that field comes when you check with firebug

 

right click on field and check the ID

 

Or just try with $Component.account=value you want to pass also do check the field you are trying to send is not null
