Editing User Record in VisualForce Page

I'm new to VisualForce and would like to use a VisualForce page on a VisualForce tab to allow the current running user to update a field on their user record. The code I have (below) displays everything correctly but does not update the running user's record when saved. What am I missing?

Bonus points if anyone can tell me how to refresh just the enhanced list div on the page every 10 seconds and not the entire page.

Thanks!


<apex:page standardController="User">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="My Queue Status" mode="edit">
<apex:pageBlockButtons >
<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:pageBlockSection title="My Content Section" columns="1">
<apex:inputField value="{!user.Assignment_Group_Active__c}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
<div>
<apex:enhancedList height="550" listid="00B40000006uQHB"/>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript"> isListLoaded(); function isListLoaded(){ setTimeout("location.reload(true);",10000); }
</script>
</apex:page>

Hi Delinda,

Code is seems to working for me. Make sure you are are passing current user id in url.

regarding your bonus point: You can use action poller function to call controller side method and at return you can rerender specific part of your page.


Here is the ref page.
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_compref_actionPoller.htm
  
<apex:page standardController="User" extension="exampleCon">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="My Queue Status" mode="edit">
<apex:pageBlockButtons >
<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:pageBlockSection title="My Content Section" columns="1">
<apex:inputField value="{!user.Assignment_Group_Active__c}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
<div>
<apex:outputpanel id="renderpanel">
<apex:enhancedList height="550" listid="00B40000006uQHB"/>
<apex:outputpanel>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript"> isListLoaded(); function isListLoaded(){ setTimeout("location.reload(true);",10000); }
</script>
<apex:actionPoller action="{!updateagain}" reRender="renderpanel" interval="10"/>
</apex:page>

here is the controller for the same
  
public class exampleCon {
    Integer count = 0;
			
    public PageReference updateagain() {
        count++;
        return null;
    }
}

Thank you Himanshu, I was hoping to use the page on a VF tab, in which case there would be no ID from a URL. However, I ended up making a custom link in the sidebar for this purpose. Once the ID was in place, a validation rule was preventing the user object from updating.

I still have to test your code for the auto-refresh, but assume it will work (especialy if Buyan thinks it will). Thanks again!
