Passing Parent Object Info to Child in Multiple Entry Visualforce Page
Hi there,
I've created a quick entry visualforce page, which I got from this old Discussion Board post: Here
The Household (Households__c) object, is a child of the Case object with the Case ID lookup field on the Household object called Screening Number (Screening_Number__c). The child relationship name is Households__r.
The Contact object is a child of both the Household object and the Case object (follow me?). So the Contact object also has a lookup field to the Case object called Screening Number. (Field API: Screening_Number__c, Child relationship: Contacts__r)
I've recreated the code from the link above to be able to create multiple contact on the household object quickly. The household ID passes fine, but I'd love it if I could get the Screening Number field autopopulated in the table for quick entry.
Here is my Controller:
public class AddMultipleContacts { public List<Contact> cont {get; set;} private final Households__c parCont; public AddMultipleContacts(ApexPages.StandardController myController) { parCont=(Households__c)myController.getrecord(); cont = new List<Contact>(); Contact Hshld = new Contact(); Hshld.Household_ID_del__c = parCont.id; cont.add(Hshld);} public void addrow() { Contact Hshld = new Contact(); Hshld.Household_ID_del__c = parCont.id; cont.add(Hshld);} public void removerow(){ Integer i = cont.size(); cont.remove(i-1);} public PageReference save() { insert cont; //PageReference home = new PageReference('/home/home.jsp'); //home.setRedirect(true); //return home; }} PageReference parrec = new PageReference('/'+parCont.id); parrec.setRedirect(true); return parrec; }}
And here is my visualforce page:
<apex:page standardController="Households__c" extensions="AddMultipleContacts" sidebar="false"> <apex:form > <apex:pageBlock title="Multiple Contact Quick Entry" > <apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" rerender="error" /> <div style="text-align:right;margin-right:30px;font-weight:bold;"> <apex:commandLink value="Add Row" action="{!addRow}" rerender="table,error" immediate="true" /> | <apex:commandLink value="Remove Row" action="{!removeRow}" rerender="table,error" immediate="true" /> </div> </apex:pageBlockButtons> <b>Household Screening Number: </b> <apex:outputField value="{!Households__c.Screening_Number__c}"/> <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!cont}" var="a" id="table"> <apex:column headerValue="First Name"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.FirstName}"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Last Name"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.LastName}"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Screening Number"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.Screening_Number__c}" required="true"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Birthdate"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.Birthdate}" required="false"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Primary?"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.Primary_Contact_del__c}" required="false"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Household Role"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.Family_Household_Role__c}" required="false"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Status"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.Case_Status__c}" required="true"/> </apex:column> <apex:column headerValue="Privacy"> <apex:inputField value="{!a.Privacy__c}" required="true"/> </apex:column> </apex:pageBlockTable> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page>
Any advice would be much appreciated. I tried adding Hshld.Screening_Number__c = parCont.id; beneath Hshld.Household_ID_del__c = parCont.id; on the controller, but it didn't take. Any ideas?
Thanks!
