Authorization Required Error when a VF form is submitted using a custom button

Hi,

 

I have created a Extended controller to documents.This VF page needs to be hosted on a site.

 

I have checked with all the ground rules to be followed to host the site and it is all done.

 

my site is :: http://sushumna-developer-edition.ap1.force.com/ApplicationForm

 

I am facing the following issues :

 

1.)When i fill in the form and submit the form(clicking a custom button) i get the error as:

 

Authorization Required

You must first log in or register before accessing this page.
If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot Password to reset it.

2.) I have an image displayed on the VF page in the site (stored in static resources) i am unable to view it when i am accessing the site out of Salesforce i.e; when i am not logged in to my account.

 

Could any one help me dealing with the issue.....

 

Thanks in advance... :)

You have a validation rule on your object.

if you want to keep this validation rule then you need to catch this error and show it to the user.

#1) did you use your own save action in  your extension class to redirect user to a visualforce page after the save. Otherwise standard save action will try to take you to the standard page which you can not expose via sites.

 

#2) edit your static resource and set the cache control field as Public

Hi,

 

To resolve the isuue faced in Point No.2 I implemented the solution provided in post.

I have changed Static Resources cache control to public.

But that couldnot still solve my issue. The image is not being displayed when I open my site outside salesforce.

 

For the issue mentioned in Point No.1

I have used a custom save button and not the standard save button.

 

Please help me in resolving this issue.

 

Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem, did you find a solution? here is the code:

 

<apex:page sidebar="false" showheader="false" controller="RegisterWebinarsController">
<style> body { font-family: Arial Unicode MS; }</style>
<apex:form id="webinarsForm">
<apex:outputText style="font-weight: bold;font-size:150%;" value="User Registration"/>
<apex:pageMessages id="error" />
<apex:panelGrid columns="2" style="margin-top:1em;">
<apex:outputLabel value="First Name:" for="firstname" />;
       <apex:inputText id="firstname" value="{!lead.firstname}" />
<apex:outputLabel value="Last Name:" for="lastname" />
<apex:inputText id="lastname" value="{!lead.lastname}" />
<apex:outputLabel value="Email:" for="email" />
<apex:inputText id="email" value="{!lead.email}" />
</apex:panelGrid>
<br />
<apex:commandButton value="Continue" action="{!goToConnectPro}"/>
<br />

</apex:form>
</apex:page>
And the standardController:
 
 
public with sharing class RegisterWebinarsController {
    Lead lead;

    public Lead getLead() {
        if(lead == null) 
        lead = new Lead();
    }
    public PageReference goToConnectPro() {
        createNewWebinar();
        PageReference webinars = new PageReference('https://webinar.company.com');
        return webinars;
    }  
    public void createNewWebinar(){
    System.debug(lead);
    lead.site_ID__c = 'ost';
    lead.Company = 'NA';
    insert lead;
    }
}
The problem ocurred when inserting the new lead. I gave public permissions to the user to "read" and "create" leads but I am getting the same message:
 
Authorization Required 

You must first log in or register before accessing this page. 
If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot Password to reset it. 
 
What else I can do?
 
please help!

Hi,
 
I changed the code to catch the exception:
 
public with sharing class RegisterWebinarsController {
    Lead lead;

    public Lead getLead() {
        if(lead == null) 
        lead = new Lead();
    }
    public PageReference goToConnectPro() {
        createNewWebinar();
        PageReference webinars = new PageReference('https://webinar.company.com');
        return webinars;
    }  
    public void createNewWebinar(){
       System.debug(lead);
       lead.site_ID__c = 'ost';
       lead.Company = 'NA';
       try{
         insert lead;
       }catch(Exception e){
         System.debug('System exception ' + e);
       }
    }
}
 
This is what I saw in the error logs:
 
System exception: System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, You cannot create a demo account - please select a different prospect source.: []
How can I solve this problem?
