Pull Fields from Extension

Hello,

 

This is probably a simple answer, but I am getting an error when I try to create a VF page using pageBlockSections.  My page has the Account as the standard controller and a custom controller to pull through the Account Name to the data I am entering for my custom object (Client Status__c).  When I try to save, i get the error:   Error: Unknown property 'AccountStandardController.Client_Status__c'.  Can anyone help?  My code is below:

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" tabStyle="Account" extensions="StatusController">
   <apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock title="Client Status">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" rerender="detail" />
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>

            <apex:pageBlockSection title="GENERAL INFORMATION" columns="2">
                    Client Name:
                    <apex:outputField value="{!score.Client_Name__c}" />
                    The Client is a(n):
                    <apex:inputField value="{!score.Type_of_Client__c}"/>
                    The Client Licenses:
                    <apex:inputField value="{!score.Client_Licenses__c}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
       </pageBlock>

   </Form>

</Page>

So in this controller, score is a list of Client_Status__c records, but in your page you are attempting to use it as an instance:

 

   <apex:outputField value="{!score.Client_Name__c}" />

 

The error message is a bit weird, but essentially the problem is that a list doesn't have a property named Client_Name__c.  I would say you should either be iterating the list:

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" tabStyle="Account" extensions="StatusController">
   <apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock title="Client Status">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" rerender="detail" />
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>

            <apex:pageBlockSection title="GENERAL INFORMATION" columns="2">
                <apex:repeat value="{!score}" var="stat">
                    Client Name:
                    <apex:outputField value="{!stat.Client_Name__c}" />
                    The Client is a(n):
                    <apex:inputField value="{!stat.Type_of_Client__c}"/>
                    The Client Licenses:
                    <apex:inputField value="{!stat.Client_Licenses__c}"/>
                </apex:repeat>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
       </pageBlock>
   </Form>
</Page>

or change the controller so that score is a single instance of a Client_Status__c record.

Can you post the controller code?  This usually means that the field/property you are trying to access isn't exposed properly from the extension controller.  The error message is a bit confusing as the platform always assumes the field/property should be coming from the standard controller.

Hi Bob,

 

My controller is below:

 

public class ScorecardController{

public List<Client_Status__c> score {get; set;}
    private final Account acct;
    public ScorecardController(ApexPages.StandardController myController) {
        acct=(Account)myController.getrecord();
                  
        score = new List<Client_Status__c>();
        Client_Status__c score2 = new Client_Status__c();
               score2.Client_Name__c = acct.id;
        score.add(score2);}


    public PageReference save() {
        insert score;
        PageReference RetPage = new PageReference('/' + score[0].id);
        RetPage.setRedirect(true);
        return RetPage; }

}

Hi Bob,

 

Sorry, 1 other question.  If I wanted to put an IF condition on a pageSectionItem in this page, how would I need to call the variable?  Below is the line I am trying to code but it won't recognize the variable:

 

                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem rendered="{!IF(stat.Type_of_Client__c <> 'Health','true','false')}">
BobBBobB

I have a question as well. In the original post the first line is:

<apex:page standardController="Account" tabStyle="Account" extensions="StatusController">

which says the name of the controller ext is "StatusController"

 

But the first line of the posted Controller is:

public class ScorecardController{

...a different name.

 

What am I missing?

 

tia... Bob

Sorry about that, I changed the controller name after my initial post. ScorecardController is correct.

That looks about right for conditionall rendering the section.  What error do you get?

Hi Bob,

 

It seems to be working now.  I must have had some bad code somewhere.  Thanks for your help!!
