issue in passing parameters to outputlink

hi

 

I want to pass the selected value of the radio as a parameter to OutputLink value. Below is the code

 

I selected 2008 and clicked on the Run Report Link, this is how the URL value is

 

http://abc=/

 

When it should have been http://abc=2008/

 

Does anyone see issue with the code below? Please advise...

 

Thanks

 

<apex:page controller="output_test">
    <apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:outputLabel value="Select Year" />
            <apex:selectRadio value="{!year_num}" rendered="true">
            <apex:selectOptions value="{!items}"/>
            </apex:selectRadio>                  
     <apex:outputlink target="_blank" value="http://abc={!year_num}">Run Report</apex:outputlink>
    
     </apex:pageBlock>
     </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

public class output_test
{
    String year_num = null;
                
    public List<SelectOption> getItems() 
    {
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>(); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2008','2008')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2009','2009')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2010','2010')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2011','2011')); 
        
        return options; 
    }
                   
    public String getYear_num() 
    {
        return year_num;
    }
                    
    public void setYear_num(String year_num) 
    { 
        this.year_num = year_num; 
    }
}

Ah I see, for this I think we're best off using a commandLink e.g.

 

<apex:page controller="output_test">
    <apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:outputLabel value="Select Year" />
            <apex:selectRadio value="{!year_num}" rendered="true">
            <apex:selectOptions value="{!items}"/>
            </apex:selectRadio>                  
     <apex:commandLink target="_blank" action="{!myaction}" value="Run Report"></apex:commandLink>
    
     </apex:pageBlock>
     </apex:form>
</apex:page>
public class output_test
{
    public String year_num{get;set;};
                
    public List<SelectOption> getItems() 
    {
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>(); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2008','2008')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2009','2009')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2010','2010')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2011','2011')); 
        
        return options; 
    }
                   
    public String getYear_num() 
    {
        return year_num;
    }
                    
    public void setYear_num(String year_num) 
    { 
        this.year_num = year_num; 
    }

    public PageReference myaction(){
PageReference pr = new PageReference('http://th3silverlining.com');
pr.put('abc',year_num);
return pr;
}
}

Please do modify the code as per the text highlighted in red below:-

 

<apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:outputLabel value="Select Year" />
            <apex:selectRadio value="{!year_num}" rendered="true">
            <apex:selectOptions value="{!items}"/>
            </apex:selectRadio>                  
     <apex:outputlink target="_blank" value="page3&abc={!year_num}" >Run Report</apex:outputlink>
    
     </apex:pageBlock>

HI - Still no luck

 

I changed the output link as mentioned , When clicked on the output link

 

<apex:outputlink target="_blank" value="page3&abc={!year_num}" >Run Report</apex:outputlink>

 

This is what i got.

apex/page3&abc=

 

I am looking for selected radio value to appear

apex/page3&abc=2008

 

 

Please advise

Hey

 

You can try using the param tag

 

 

<apex:outputLink value="http://th3silverlining.com">Run Report
	<apex:param name="abc" value="{!year_num}"/>
</apex:outputLink>

 

Cheers,
Wes

<apex:outputLink value="http://silverlining.com">Run Report
	<apex:param name="abc" value="{!year_num}"/>
</apex:outputLink>  
The output is coming as http://silverlining.com?abc=

 

nope...it dint work either

 

I know this is simple, but not sure where i am doing wrong...

In that case your year_num variable must be empty. I just tested with that precise code and it works.

 

Wes
WesNolte__cWesNolte__c

It is null initially

 

public class output_test
{
    String year_num = null;
                
    public List<SelectOption> getItems() 
    {
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>(); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2008','2008')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2009','2009')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2010','2010')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2011','2011')); 
        
        return options; 
    }
                   
    public String getYear_num() 
    {
        return year_num;
    }
                    
    public void setYear_num(String year_num) 
    { 
        this.year_num = year_num; 
    }
}
Try giving it an initial value, or change the selectlist on your page before you push the button. Wes

public class output_test
{      
    public String year_num { get; set; }    
            
     public List<SelectOption> getItems() 
     {
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>(); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2008','2008')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2009','2009')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2010','2010')); 
        options.add(new SelectOption('2011','2011')); 
        
        return options; 
     }
}

 

 Thank you.

 

Putting initial value will pass what ever value was initialized. If another value is selected, it still passes the initial value.

 

I tried the above method as well..but no luck..:smileysad:

 

By the way

I did not get what you are saying (in red below) could you please eloborate?
