Query string VisualForce for Professional Edition

<apex:page standardController="task">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="Log A Call or Meeting" mode="edit" >
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2" title="Call Information">
<apex:inputField value="{!Task.OwnerId}" rendered="true"/>
<apex:pageBlockSectionItem ></apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
<apex:inputField value="{!Task.Subject}" rendered="true"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 Nothing Crazy here. I just need to find a way to pass values into the fields. Normally I would use a Quesry String URL but that won't work on visualforce pages. Anyone have a clever way to do this that doesn't involve creating an apex class. Professional Edition Does not include custom apex classes or extensionts.

 

Any help would be awesome

You may have to use javascript.  However, you could try the following component of mine:

 

<apex:component >
    <apex:attribute name="from" type="String" assignTo="{!to}" description="The value to set"/>
    <apex:attribute name="to" type="String" description="The variable to set the value into"/>    
</apex:component>

 

and then use that on the page:

 

<c:SetValue from="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.subject}" to="{!Task.subject}" />

 Caveat emptor - I haven't tried this myself so it may not work.

You should be able to access URL parameters in visualforce via the $ApexPages global - e.g. to access the id parameter you'd use:

 

{!$CurrentPage.parameters.id}

 

You'll probably need to use javascript to set the value into the input component.

Didn't mean to hit solved. meant to hit reply

 

I've tried this, but I can't get it to autofill the input fields. How would I use this to have: "Test:" preentered into the subject input field?

 

/apex/vforcepage?subject=test
