Max Friel.ax1251 Change outputText text with button
Here is my page...
<apex:page controller="Lilly_Customer_Manager" id="pg">
<apex:form >
<apex:outputText id="outTxt">{!testStr}</apex:outputText>
<apex:repeat value="{!$ObjectType.Account.FieldSets.Lilly_Customer_Manage}" var="f"/>
<apex:repeat value="{!actFldMap}" var="act">
<apex:pageBlock title="{!$ObjectType[act].label}" >
<apex:pageBlockButtons >
<apex:commandButton action="{!mySave}" rerender="pg" Value="Save" rendered="{!IF(act == 'Account','true','false')}"/>
<apex:commandLink action="{!myNew}" rerender="pg" Value="New {!$ObjectType[act].Label}" rendered="{!IF(act != 'Account','true','false')}">
<!-- <apex:param name="str" value="{!act}" assignTo="{!tabButton}"/> -->
</apex:commandLink>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:repeat value="{!tabIdMap[act]}" var="aciId">
<apex:pageBlockSection title="{!aciNameLookup[aciId]}" columns="2" collapsible="true">
<apex:repeat value="{!newFields[aciId]}" var="aci">
<apex:inputField rendered="{!IF(aci['Type__c'] == 'PICKLIST' || aci['Type__c'] == 'MULTIPICKLIST','false','true')}" label="{!aci['Field_Label__c']}" value="{!aci[fldLookup[aci['Type__c']]]}"/>
<apex:selectList rendered="{!IF(aci['Type__c'] == 'PICKLIST','true','false')}" label="{!aci['Field_Label__c']}" value="{!plv[aciId + '.' + aci['Field_Name__c']]}" size="1" multiselect="false">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!plvVals[aci['Object_Name__c'] + '.' + aci['Field_Name__c']]}"/>
</apex:selectList>
<apex:selectList rendered="{!IF(aci['Type__c'] == 'MULTIPICKLIST','true','false')}" label="{!aci['Field_Label__c']}" value="{!plvMS[aciId + '.' + aci['Field_Name__c']]}" size="5" multiselect="true">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!plvVals[aci['Object_Name__c'] + '.' + aci['Field_Name__c']]}"/>
</apex:selectList>
</apex:repeat>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:repeat>
</apex:pageBlock>
<apex:repeat >
</apex:repeat>
</apex:repeat>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>And here are the button/link methods...
public PageReference mySave(){
//System.debug('Save pressed for ' + tabButton);
testStr = 'bye';
return null;
}
public PageReference myNew(){
System.debug('Save pressed for ' + tabButton);
makeNew(tabButton);
testStr = 'bye';
return null;
}I initialize the value of testStr to hi and would expect it to be changed to bye when I click the button or the link. Why does it not? I eventually want to do something much more complicated with this, but wanted to get this simple example working first. I know I am missing something simple here, any help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure if rerendering your page works like you expect ( nor do I consider it good practise). I usually put a <apex:outputpanel> around the components I want to rerender and rerender that.
Give that a try.

I changed the command link to inlcude immediate="true", which gave me a null pointer exception, which I expected. I then uncommented out the param which got rid of the error but still no change of the outputText. However now I am seeing a log written for the actions and my statement from that code being put in.
Here is the new commandLink...
<apex:commandLink action="{!myNew}" status="status2" immediate="true" rerender="pg" Value="New {!$ObjectType[act].Label}" rendered="{!IF(act != 'Account','true','false')}"> <apex:param name="str" value="{!act}" assignTo="{!tabButton}"/> </apex:commandLink>I'm not sure if rerendering your page works like you expect ( nor do I consider it good practise).

Hey just wanted to say thanks for the reply. It worked perfectly with an outputPanel.
