Display opportunity name as a link in a VF page
Hi everybody,
I'd like to display a link to an opportunity object in my VF page rather than just the name, but all my efforts seem to be thwarted. I tried displaying the oppy name as an "OutputLink" tag, and "{!oppy.Opportunity}" but those didn't work. My markup for the section in question is;
<apex:pageBlock title="Standard Sales"> <apex:dataTable value="{!oli_s}" var="oppy" id="detail_s" width="800px" > <apex:column width="25%"> <apex:facet name="header">Name</apex:facet> <apex:outputText value="{!oppy.Opportunity.Name}"/> </apex:column>
Any help is appreciated-
Well, I came up with a solution -
I changed the
...to:
But now my question is the slash in the ""/{!oppy.Opportunity.Id}" part --
If I take it out, the page doesn't compile.
It appears to be some sort of syntactic thing that I can't find any information on - other than assuming it means "take the following object Id to be a link" - I looked in the merge-field syntax doc and couldn't find any reference to building a command link with a "/" on the object name.
but I'd like to know if there's a link to other syntax trick for apex tags that aren't documented in the VF developer's guide.
