How do I find and clone salesforce page

Is there a way to find and clone salesforce page?

I need to re-create a "create new case" page for a customer portal.

I need to customize the page and drop a few of the fields being asked.

How do I find the code behind the salesforce page so I can use it to create a visualforce page?

You can't get at the code behind the standard pages - they don't use Visualforce.

 

Its not that hard to create from scratch - to get a standard page look use apex:pageblock/apex:pageblocksection to generate the sections, and apex:inputField to capture the information from the user.

 

If you use the case standard controller, you won't have to write any code either.

That said, if you just want to remove fields, you could create a page layout specific to the portal user profile and remove the fields that you don't want there.  Obviously that affects the create/edit/view pages, so may not be suitable for your requirements.

Thanks Bob.

Where do I find the case standard controller? I don't see it in the Apex Classes section.

Can I use the case standard controller with a new  page layout with fields removed?

The standard controllers are classes provided by the platform - you can't access the code for these, you just use them in the page.

 

Check out the links on this page for more information on standard controllers:

Page layouts and visualforce are distinct technologies - if you go the Visualforce route you have to leave the page layouts behind and take care of the UI yourself.
