Michael Benson 4 How do I pass parameter correctly to another Website page using a function that redirects to the other page directly?
I have a webpage(vsualforce page) that has a search. I wish to pass the search text, and another variable set by the called function which redirect to a new webpage. On that new second webpage these parameters are used to list knowledge base articles.
My controller has the below:
public String searchstring { get; set; }
public String searchparm { get; set; }
public pagereference Results_PRO_Pageredirect_new() {
PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('http://sctest-transact-tech.cs51.force.com/SearchResultsPage');
searchparm = 'Knowledge_Categories:AccuDate_Pro';
refreshSearchResult();
pageRef.setRedirect(false);
return pageRef;
}
The first page (search page) has this for input with search button:
<apex:form >
<apex:inputText value="{!searchstring}" id="theSearchstring" maxlength="100" size="110" onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) {refreshSearchResult();return false;} "/>
<apex:commandButton id="submitButton" style="width:40" action="{!Results_PRO_Pageredirect_new}" value="Search" />
<apex:messages />
</apex:form>
And the SearchResultsPage (visualforce page) I'm trying to pass to is:
<apex:page controller="myFSTController" standardStylesheets="false" sidebar="false" title="KB Search" showheader="false" doctype="HTML-5.0">
<!-- Search Results-->
<apex:panelGroup id="theSearchResults" >
<apex:panelGrid width="100%">
<table width="99%">
<tr>
<th width="33%">Title</th>
<th width="33%">Article Type</th>
<th width="33%">Summary</th>
</tr>
</table>
<knowledge:articleList articleVar="article" categories="{!searchparm}" Keyword="{!searchstring}" pageNumber="{!currentPageNumber}" hasMoreVar="false" pageSize="10">
<table width="99%">
<tr>
<td width="33%">
<apex:outputLink target="_blank" value="{!URLFOR($Action.KnowledgeArticle.View,article.id,['popup' = 'true'])}">{!article.title}</apex:outputLink>
</td>
<td width="33%"><apex:outputText >{!article.articleTypeLabel}</apex:outputText></td>
<td width="33%"><apex:outputText >{!article.abstract}</apex:outputText></td>
</tr>
</table>
</knowledge:articleList>
</apex:panelGrid>
<apex:form >
The parameters are not being passed, and I get results as if the parameters are blank.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Can you let us know that Controller of both the page are same or not? Because if the URL of the PageReference object is set to a website outside of the salesforce.com domain, or to a page with a different controller or controller extension, the redirect always occurs, regardless of whether the redirect attribute is set to true or false.

Thank you for your help!

You can close this question. I was using the Sites incorrectly. I was mistakenly creating a site for each vfpage. I am now using correctly and the parameters are passing as expected.
thank you anyway for your help,
Michael
