custom interaction log saving functionality
I am doing development in the Service Cloud Service Console. I discovered that our needed functionality isn't there in the service console configurability, so I moved on to creating my own custom console. I used the sample code from this post (http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Custom_Interaction_Logs) on wiki.developerforce which I was pointed to via this blog post (http://blogs.salesforce.com/product/2012/02/custominteractionlog.html)in blogs.salesforce.com. That code uses the Task, Case, and Contact objects. Rather than Case, I need to use a custom object (Risk__c).
And here I should note that I'm totally new to Visualforce and Apex coding, so please forgive any simple questions/confusions on my part.
Problem:

And here I should note that I'm totally new to Visualforce and Apex coding, so please forgive any simple questions/confusions on my part.
Problem:
The Save and Save New buttons on the log are not saving
Pertinent Information:
- They should save the information in the Log screen to the Activity History of my custom object, Risk.
- I am 99% sure that the code linking the Log to my Contact is working properly.
- No errors are generated when I click either the Save or Save New buttons.
- When I click Save, the only thing that happens is the "Last Save" date time shows at the bottom of the screen.
- When I click Save New, any information I entered in the fields manually is cleared (presumably to allow me to enter a new record. Duh, I know).

See the discussions and the suggessions in the links below,
This is because you are using the standard controller save, which redirects you to the record view page for the object in question. This means that you get a standard salesforce page embedded in an iframe within your standard visualforce page.
https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=906F000000096oZIAQ
There might be a conflict between your action methods and the same methods in the standard controller, which has save() and cancel() methods. Your methods might not be getting called if the standard controller methods take priority. Try renaming your action methods to something unique (e.g. saveAction(), cancelAction()) and see if you get different behavior.
