Redirect user to another VF page if no record id was set in URL

Hello,

 

I am currently trying implement a visualforce page with a standard controller and an extenssion. If the user puts in the url ".../apex/mySite?id=0000001", then that is great. But if the user enters ".../apex/mySite" with no record id in the URL, then the page crashes... as expected. How do I redirect the user to say record number 000001 if they don't enter a record if in the URL?

 

I've seen <apex:page action="..."> and it said this action should be used to redirect the user to another page, but I don't know how to do that.

 

Thanks in advanced!

Hi,

Use action method of page vf tag like this :

 

<apex:page controller="pageController" action="{!redirectTo000001}">

</apex:page>

 

public class pageController
{
	//constructor
	public pageController()
	{
	}
	
	public pagereference redirectTo000001()
	{
		String idFromURL = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');
		if(idFromURL == null || idFromURL == '')
		{
			pagereference pg = new pagereference('/apex/mySite?id='+idFromURL);
			return pg;
		}
		else return null;
	}
}

This worked in a way but now I have another problem. I used a custom object's record as the id by using the following code snippets:

 

 

pinnedContent = [SELECT id FROM KN_Content__c WHERE Pinned__c = true LIMIT 1];

PageReference pg = new PageReference('/apex/KnowledgeNetwork?id=' + pinnedContent.id);

 

However, the page redirects to the URL: apex/MySite?id={!pinnedContent}

 


It's not supposed to say ?id={!pinnedContent}, it's supposed to say ?id=000001, where 000001 is the pinnedContent.id.
