VF page: returning the record name after insert
I'm trying to display the record 'name' field (auto-numbered field) on a visualforce page after insert
How can I do that? Do I really need to re-query for it to display it after insert?
Here's my page & controller class :
--------------------------------------------------------
<apex:page standardController="MyCustomObject__c" extensions="MyCustomObjectExt">
<apex:form >
<apex:outputPanel id="all">
<apex:sectionHeader title="My Custom Object" subtitle="{!MyCustomObject__c.Name}"/> <!-- 'Name' is always null :( -->
<apex:outputPanel >
<apex:commandButton action="{!SaveButton}" value="Save Me!" status="SaveButtonStatus" rerender="all"/>
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:outputpanel>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
--------------------------------------------------------
public class MyCustomObjectExt {
private MyCustomObject__c thisRecord;
private ApexPages.StandardController sc = null;
public MyCustomObjectExt(ApexPages.StandardController sc) {
this.sc=sc;
thisRecord = (MyCustomObject__c) sc.getRecord();
}
public PageReference saveButton() {
try {
Upsert thisRecord;
string s = '/' + ('' + thisRecord.get('Id'));
} catch (Exception e){
ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Whoops !'));
}
return null;
}
}
Thank you!

So if you are opening this page via button in your button url you need to append the ID, you can get the ID through AJAX toolkit or through a soql Query. It depends from where or when you would like to show this Page.
I've created a custom form in support of an existing custom object, with a controller extention class, (shown above). Here's the stuff I neglected to state:
- From the custom object's list-view, I'm clicking the [New] button.
- The custom VF page is presented, with a title of "My Custom Object" as well as the record 'Name' value (currently null as the record hasn't been inserted yet).
- I click the [Save Me!] button, and the record is successfully inserted.
- The record "Name" is an auto-numbered field, so the Name field is set to 0000128 (for example) in the database.
- The [Save Me!] button includes a rerender="all" parameter
Why doesn't the page re-render with the heading of :
My Custom Object
0000128
??
Do I need to :
A) re-query to get the name field
B) use "return new Pagereference(s);" following the upsert, or
C) is there a better / preferred way of getting the record name?
Thanks for any assistance,
Pete
B) use "return new Pagereference('/' + ('' + thisRecord.get('Id'))); " following the upsert, or
geez... can't edit / correct posts any longer ? :)
Right after upserting thisRecord (Account variable) in your controller in SaveButton method .
Use -:
public PageReference saveButton() {
Upsert thisRecord;
return new PageReference('<your-SFDC-url>/apex/<Name-of-VF-Page>?id='+thisrecord.id);
}
>> Let me know if it doesnt work.
