Brendan Lally Cannot assign a VF page to a button override on a custom object
as per VisualForce: Tabbed_Accounts_in_30_seconds
I am trying to override a standard button (within a custom object) to VF code I've created
When I pick the 'VisualForce Page' button within the override , nothing is available.
I have two VF pages.
I've tried both custom objects and std objects and no difference.
that one I want is called cases_inner_tabs and is setup in Develop/Pages
as <apex: page standardController="Cases__c" showHeader="true" tabStyle="account" extensions="Cases_extn">
I had it used within a Web VF tab but no deleted that so 'Where is this used?' is now empty
If I go 2 my custom object Cases and try and override its View button as a VF - its not there?
Why do they not show up ?

Don't know if that makes any difference.
I tried an empty Apex page controller for another custom objects called Products that is not managed/released.
Page called productTest
<apex: page standardController="Products__c">
</apex: page>
Tried to modify the standard button/links on custom object Products and no VF pages are available
So still no closer.
U need to have the full API name (with namespace prefix) in the controller class (and matches) for the VF pages to become available
So in this example I needed
apex: page standardController="myNamespacePrefix__Cases__c" >
Solved.
You figured the workaround out before I saw your post - this issue is scheduled to be fixed in the next major salesforce.com release - after that fix is deployed you should not have to fully qualify the api name like this.

went back 2 this as left 4 a few days and now can't seem 2 get it working at all!
What I said earlier doesn't seem 2 work.
If I try and prefix the table name with namespace prefix in my standard controller I get the following error.
Error: Unknown property 'myNamespacePrefix__Cases__cStandardController.Cases__c'
This is with the following line:
If I have it as
it saves fine but then doesn't show up as a valid VF page for button overrides on Cases custom object.
Whats bizarre is that on Products (mentioned earlier) it works fine and its VF page (just dummy) is
and it shows up as a valid VF override for buttons within Products custom object.
What am I missing?
Doing a S-control redirect at the moment but messy.
