Navigating to visualforce page

Hai everyone,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can anyone suggest me a method to navigate to a visualforce page onclick of a custom button in force.com.

I am using a javascript function to navigate but the page opens in a new window.But I want it to be opened in the same window.

 

Thanks in advance.

<apex:outputLink value="https://www.salesforce.com" id="theLink">www.salesforce.com</apex:outputLink>

Use apex:outputLink, if you want it to open in the same window the target attribute:

Possible values for this attribute include "_blank", "_parent", "_self", and "_top". These are the possible values, use self to open it on the same window.

you dont need a javascript function for that purpose. it can be acheived in following manner...

 

setup-->customize--->contacts --> buttons and links ---> your button -- > edit

 

and then

 

1)Set the Display Type to List Button/Detail Page Button.
2) Set the Content Source to Visualforce Page.
3)From the Content drop-down list, select the page on which you want to go.
4) Click Save.
5) A warning will display notifying you that the button will not be displayed until you have updated page layouts. Click OK.

Use

 

 

if(doValidation())
     window.location.href = '/apex/yourPage'; 
}
else {
     alert('show error, or whatever you do');
}

function doValidation(){
     // whatever.
}

 

 

 Is this what you wanted?

Thank for your reply.I am able to navigate to some other page now through the javascript.

 

But now am facing a problem. Initially,I will be selecting some contacts(through checkboxes) from CONTACT tab and will click on a button(list button for CONTACT)

 

 

Below is the Javascript code what I have used for the button.

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/8.0/connection.js")}

var records = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Contact)};

if (records[0] == null)
{
alert("Please select at least one contact");
}
else
{
window.location.href= '/apex/bulkVF';
}

Now,on navigating to other page(bulkVF) I want the selected contacts to be filled in pageBlockTable of bulkVF. But it is displaying only the page with no selected contacts in the table.

 

Earlier,when I linked that page directly to the button(Content type-Visualforce Page),I was able to get the contacts  filled in pageBlockTable of bulkVF.

 

Please help me.
