Raghu Sharma 6 Cloning a record
I want to add a button to clone the existing record. What is the easy and best approach to add code to my below code to make it work? Do we need controller extension to achieve this?
<apex:page StandardController="Account">
hello {!$User.LastName}
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:inputfield value="{!account.name}"/>
<apex:inputfield value="{!account.AccountNumber}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageblockButtons >
<apex:commandButton rendered="{!IF($CurrentPage.parameters.id !=null,true,false)}" action="{!save}" value="Save Account"/>
<apex:commandButton rendered="{!IF($CurrentPage.parameters.id ==null,true,false)}" action="{!save}" value="Save Account"/>
</apex:pageblockButtons>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
You could use this code, I think this will resolve your issue.
<apex:page StandardController="Account"> hello {!$User.LastName} <apex:form > <apex:pageBlock > <apex:pageBlockSection > <apex:inputfield value="{!account.name}"/> <apex:inputfield value="{!account.AccountNumber}"/> </apex:pageBlockSection> <apex:pageblockButtons > <apex:commandButton rendered="{!IF($CurrentPage.parameters.id !=null,true,false)}" action="{!save}" value="Save Account"/> <apex:commandButton rendered="{!IF($CurrentPage.parameters.id ==null,true,false)}" action="{!save}" value="Save Account"/> <apex:commandButton value="Clone" action="{!URLFOR($Action.Account.edit, Account.id, [clone='1'])}"/> </apex:pageblockButtons> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page>If you want to complete the clone action by button click the you would requrie a custom apex controller for that.
