First thanks for the update and quick response.

 

1.

/apex/ManageQuote?opportunityid={!Opportunity.Id}

 

  Id opptyId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('opportunityid');

 

try with this code in button and class.Just remove the opportunityi.d' and replace with opportunityid' i have face the problem i think it will resolve otherwise please let me know

 

Does this mean

 

1./apex/ManageQuote?opportunity.id={!Opportunity.Id} this needs to be changed in custom button url source as ?

     Id opptyId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('opportunityid');

 

2.did not get this part?

Just remove the opportunityi.d' and replace with opportunityid' i have face the problem i think it will resolve otherwise please let me know

 

 

can you explain a bit more

jd123jd123

Hi Kumar,

 

I tried with your code it is working fine. Today I spent some time Just I copied your code and paste in my environment it worlking. Have you seen in the URL the Opportunity id is coming or not after clicking the button.

 

try in  Developer console I think no need.  I can give my access you can check it out o.w I can check out. Let me know which one is fine for you.

 

Thanks.

kumarkkumark

Yes opportunity ID is there as below in the url when button is clicked but then it gives error

 

/apex/ManageQuote?opportunity.id=006P0000004SPnC

 

System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object

Error is in expression '{!createQuote}' in component <apex:page> in page managequote

 

So can you help wht needs to be changed to make it error free

 

Class.ManageQuoteController.createQuote: line 33, column 1

jd123jd123

I think this line your getting error

 

 QuoteResponse response = QuoteServiceDelegate.createQuote(oppty, ocr.Contact);

 

But in the Query 

 

  OpportunityContactRole ocr = [select Contact.FirstName, Contact.LastName, Contact.EMail, Contact.Phone, Contact.Fax
            from OpportunityContactRole where opportunityId = :opportunityRef.Id and IsPrimary = true];

 

in the query you are not retrieving Contact  what you want to pass Contact or Contact.FirstName

kumarkkumark

Thanks creating contact role under opportunity resolved that error

 

now it is giving this new error

 

This is the url generated:/apex/ManageQuote?opportunity.id=006P0000004SPnC
