wixxey Changing the owner of Contact
Hello,
I am having a problem in the code. The Contact object con is defined in code below, it is recieving all the values from the visualforce page. but before inserting this con object i want to change its owner field to the Account it is recieving in line #5. as this con object takes bydefault owner.
public with sharing class newContact {
public Contact con {get;set;}
public newContact(ApexPages.StandardController c) {
con = (Contact)c.getRecord();
con.AccountId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('pid');
}
public PageReference save(){
insert con;
return new PageReference('/index/index?id='+con.AccountId);
}
Kindly Guide me if possible
A Owner field always points to a User or a QUEUE.

Try this out
public with sharing class newContact { public Contact con { get; set; } private User accOwner; public newContact(ApexPages.StandardController c) { con = (Contact) c.getRecord(); con.AccountId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('pid'); //check if there is a value if (con.AccountId != null) { List < Account> accList = [SELECT Id, OwnerId,Name FROM Account WHERE Id =:con.AccountId]; //check if matching records found if (!accList.isEmpty()) { List<user> users = [SELECT Id FROM User WHERE Name =:accList[0].Name LIMIT 1];if(!users.isEmpty()){
accOwner = users[0];
} } } } public PageReference save() { if (accOwner != null) { con.OwnerId = accOwner.Id; } insert con; return new PageReference('/index/index?id=' + con.AccountId); }
The above code looks for the account using an SOQL and assigns the ownerId FROM the Account
Hi,
Try this
public with sharing class newContact { public Contact con {get;set;}public Account acc{get;set;} public newContact(ApexPages.StandardController c) { con = (Contact)c.getRecord(); con.AccountId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('pid');
acc = [SELECT ID,NAME, OWNERID FROM ACCOUNT WHERE id =: con.accountId]; } public PageReference save(){ con.ownerid = acc.ownerid;
insert con; return new PageReference('/index/index?id='+con.AccountId); }

Hi Wissey,
I would have written a pretty simple trigger on Contact and it would have taken care of owner assignment:
trigger AssignOwner on Contact(before insert, before update) {
List<Id> accountIds = new List<Id>();
Map<Id, Id> accountIdOwnerId = new Map<Id, Id>();
for(Contact con : Trigger.new) {
accountIds.add(con.AccountId);
}
for(Account acc : [select ownerid from Account where Id in: accountIds]) {
accountIdOwnerId.put(acc.Id, acc.ownerId);
}
for(Contact con : Trigger.new) {
con.ownerId = accountIdOwnerId.get(con.accountId);
}
}
Please post if you find any better solution or have any question.

Thanx for the reply souvik
I think you didnt get my point ...let me explain suppose i create an contact with the name XYZ in an Account ABC. so the contact owner value should be ABC. I dont want that both have same owner
A Owner field always points to a User or a QUEUE.
You can't make account as an owner of any record. Because, ownerid is a lookup field of type user object.
I am basically pointing toward a user , i am not giving a dynamic value
Search for a user with that Account name?
Yes I got it now, It might be too late. But Avidev9 was right.
A Owner field alwaysstores userId. We cannot store account name there.
Thanks
