How to acheive Recurring Task functionality On Overrired Task Vf Page

I have overrided the Task standard page with VF custom page and now what i want is to have "Create Recurrence Task" Functionality on Vf Page but i have no idea how to achieve this..

although i have created the Vf page that looks somewhat similar to original "Create RecurrenceTask" Section but what shuld i do in apex to create a series of tasks n shud i use javascript to calculate the frequency of tasks or any other way..

if anyone having ny solution plz hlp..

 

TwanTwan

the recurring parameters are described in this doc : http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_task.htm

 

do not forget to watch the end part Usage : Recurring Tasks
DafuelDafuel

hey..

i have already gone thru this link..but didn't find any solution...

is there any custom way to create a series of task...nd how wud i go implement its functionality in apex...

and do u think its possible by using the fields define in task object, i can implement the complete recurrence functionality in my vf..??  ...
TwanTwan

A series of task for me, is just a task created with flag IsRecurrence flied at true and the Recurrence prefixed fields with specific values.

So just create the form input for frequency/start date/end date ... and bind them with  your apexcontroller to Task fields.

What is the specific blocking point for your implementation ?
DafuelDafuel

Hey Thanks for replying...

see the only blocking point during implementation is how to bind the frequency  form fields to task standard fields mainly recurrence type and any properties associated with the given recurrence type....

for designing  vf i have used input types="radio" everywhere... for all frequncy fields but now how do i bind it to standard field like (recurrence type) and  set their properties eg RecurrenceDayOfWeekMask.. u can see my vf code...tell me

 Note: in short i just want to populate associated frequency fields so i can save the record n able to create a series..

The global idea is :

 

Use apex form components like

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_selectRadio.htm

then bind them to public fields un your apex controller,

and in your controller method compute the "standard" fields of the task using the fields binded of the form
