Trying to make a button that links to visual force page

I have created the page and have gone to the proper section under customization for buttons and links. I am having trouble creating the button and having it link to a visual force page. When I go to the drop down of Visual Force page, the content is empty. I am assuming that I need to somehow enable or associate the pages so that they will work with content. If anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Kyle

I had the same issue.  I resolved it by using a URL.

 

The URL Context is actually simple.

 

 

/APEX/My_ApexPage

 

 

If you find out how to get the VisualForce Page visiable in the dropdown please post it.

Yeah, I had thought of that solution, but I am trying to refrain due to complications in the future.

The custom button can only relate to a Visualforce page if that page uses the standard controller of the object the button is being placed on.

 

 

For example, if you wanted to add a button to the Opportunity object, you page would be like this:

 

 

<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity" > <!-- Stuff Goes HERE --> </apex:page>

 If you need to extend the functionality of the page beyond the standard controller's functionality, then you would use a controller extension.
