Andrew Day how do i take my ids from the url and get a list of objects
Hey Guys,
I am try to put together my first vf page and I have a question.
The page I am creating is a page where the user can select some contacts from the contact page then pust a button called 'Create Event' that will take then to a page where that can fill out the event info and the selected contacts will be assigned then saved.
So right now I have a button then when clicked will take them to the new page with the selected Id's in the URL.
ex: &type=whoid&Ids=003e000000IidjU%2C003e000000Iidji%2C003e000000HkFlA
I would like to display a list of the selected contacts in the new page but I am not sure how to get a list a contact objects form the Id's in the URL.
Here is my event page: (note: this is just a start)
<apex:page standardController="Event" extensions="CreateEvent_Controller" >
<h1>Create Event With Selected Contacts</h1>
<apex:sectionHeader title="Event" subtitle="New Event" help="/help/doc/user_ed.jsp?loc=help&target=creating_tasks.htm§ion=Activities"/>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
<apex:pageBlock title="Event Edit" mode="edit">
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Event Information" >
<apex:inputField value="{!Event.Subject}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!Event.Location}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!Event.StartDateTime}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!Event.EndDateTime}" />
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Description Information" >
<apex:inputTextarea value="{!Event.Description}" cols="75" rows="5" richText="false"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Description Information" >
<apex:dataList value="{!contacts}" var="contact">
<apex:outputText value="{!contact.Name}"/>
</apex:dataList>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockButtons >
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" immediate="true" />
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" immediate="true" />
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
And here in my controller:
public with sharing class CreateEvent_Controller
{
public ApexPages.StandardController myUserController {get; set;}
public List<Contact> contacts {get; set;}
public ApexPages.StandardController standardContactController;
public CreateEvent_Controller(ApexPages.StandardController cntrl)
{
standardContactController = cntrl;
/*contacts = (Contact)cntrl.getRecord();*/
}
}
Any help on how to get the contact object list would be great, and any overall suggestions after that would be helpfull
I believe you are seperating your ids via a ,(comma)
Try seperating it using semi colon ;
And then use this code in your constructor.
String ids = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Ids');
List<Id> theIds = ids.split(';');
then do your procesing. I mean add a query using these ids,
List<Contact> contacts = Select Name from contact where id in: theIds;
Display these using pageblock table or list
thanks for your help, it was suggested to me do take a different approch so now my page header looks like
<apex:page standardController="Contact" recordSetVar="contacts" extensions="CreateEvent_Controller">
and this gives my the selected contacts just fine, I changed to this because if they select to many contacts then
my url could exceed the max length for a url.
I no longer have a check for items being selected before the button click but I will come back to that one later.
But I now have another issue mabe you can help me with.
I am trying to insert an event, when my event gets inserted and the values are hard coded in my controller it works
fine but if i comment out the hard coded values and use the vf page values I get a required field error.
The values from my vf page to not look to be getting populated into my event object in my controller.
vf page:
<apex:page standardController="Contact" recordSetVar="contacts" extensions="CreateEvent_Controller">
<h1>Create Event With Selected Contacts</h1>
<apex:sectionHeader title="Event" subtitle="New Event" help="/help/doc/user_ed.jsp?loc=help&target=creating_tasks.htm§ion=Activities"/>
<apex:form >
<apex:pageMessages >
</apex:pageMessages>
<apex:pageBlock title="Event Edit" mode="edit">
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Event Information" >
<apex:inputField value="{!event.Subject}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!event.Location}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!event.StartDateTime}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!event.EndDateTime}" />
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Description Information" >
<apex:inputTextarea value="{!event.Description}" cols="75" rows="5" richText="false"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockButtons >
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!SaveEvent}" immediate="true" disabled="{!ISNULL(selected)}" />
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" immediate="true" />
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Selected Contacts" >
<apex:dataList value="{!selected}" var="contact">
<apex:outputText value="{!contact.Name}"/>
