Passing data to Visualforce page

I have a class that stores data from a custom object into a List.  The class sorts the list and does all the things it needs to do, but now I want to pass the data back to my visualforce page.

 

But!  I dont want to use pageblock or tabledata to render the values.  Everytime I reference my class, it errors out on me.  Here is some code:

First method in my class that is getting the data:

public class getOnboarding {
    public getOnboarding(ApexPages.StandardController Controller){   
    }
    public SFDC_Acct_Plan__c[] getPlanInfo(){
        List<SFDC_Acct_Plan__c> fields = new List<SFDC_Acct_Plan__c>();
             fields = [SELECT Planning_Year__c,
                              Sales_Agreement_in_Place__c,
                              Plan_Status__c,
                              Last_Plan_Revision__c,
                              Days_Between__c,                              
                              Non_Disclosure_Agreement_in_Place__c,
                              Number_of_assets_tracked__c,
                              On_Boarding_Packet_to_Customer__c,
                              Kickoff_Meeting_Completed__c,
                              Kickoff_Meeting_Completed_on__c                              
                         FROM SFDC_Acct_Plan__c
                        WHERE Account__c IN 
                                (SELECT AccountId 
                                   FROM AccountShare 
                                  WHERE UserOrGroupId=:Userinfo.getUserId())
                          AND (Plan_Status__c = 'Draft')
                       ];
        return fields;
    }        

 and I want to pass it to my VF page:

<apex:page showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardController="SFDC_Acct_Plan__c" extensions="getOnboarding">
  <!-- --------------------------------------- -->
  <!-- ------------START OF STYLES------------ -->
  <!-- --------------------------------------- -->  
        <style>                        
            #onboardingStages {text-align: center; width:95%}
            .pbheader {background-color:#000000!important; color:#FF4D4D!important;}
            .pbsubheader {background-color:#FFFF85!important; color:#5a5a5a!important;}        
        </style>
  <!-- --------------------------------------- -->
  <!-- ------------ END OF STYLES ------------ -->
  <!-- --------------------------------------- --> 
  <h1>Welcome Back {!$User.FirstName}</h1><br/>
  <h2>Date: {!MONTH(TODAY())}/{!DAY(TODAY())}/{!YEAR(TODAY())}</h2> 
  <div id="onboardingStages">
    <apex:variable var="stage" value="{!StageImage}"/>
    <apex:image url="{!URLFOR($Resource.Stages, stage)}" />    
  </div>

 But I want to put the data into my own table.

If I reference my method {!PlanInfo.Plan_Status__c} it will not allow me to use the data (unless its in a pageBlock).  I have also tried using variables for this.

I basically want to pass it to an HTML table cell that I define later.

Anyone come across this before?  I know its something easy and silly ... but I cant get it.

Thank you,

TS

You need to iterate over the list.

 

Use an apex:repeat tag and define your html elements inside the tag. Apex:repeat will allow you to iterate over the list and reuse the HTML tags nested inside of it.

YES!!!! 

Thank you!

 

Something so simple, but couldnt find documentation anywhere.  Silly, I know, I wish there were better repositories for this kind of information!

 

<apex:reapeat value={!yourMethodHere} var="yourVariableHere">

<h1>{!yourVariableHere.}</h1>

</apex:repeat>

 

I cannot seem to get this to work however if my Apex Class is storing more than one thing in the list.

 

Right now I have a List on my custom object pulling data from 10 fields.  I cannot reference them.

 

Normally it would be like this:

<apex:column value="{!pi.Plan_Status__c}" headerValue="Status" width="33%" />  

 

But using the apex:repeat, it will not allow me to reference the individiual field.

 

<apex:repeat value="{!PlanInfo}" var="pi">

     <apex:outputText><p>{!pi.Plan_Status__c}</p></apex:outputText> 

     <apex:outputText><p>{!pi.Plan_Start_Date__c}</p></apex:outputText>

</apex:repeat>

 

 

It doesnt cause an error, it just doesnt show the value of my fields.

GrrrrrrrrrrrrrGrrrrrrrrrrrrr

For some reason, this works now.

 

Perhaps I just needed to let my computer think about its terrible behaviour lately.  It seems to have corrected itself, overnight, with no changes made to it.

 

I am so glad I banged my head for hours yesterday trying to figure out how to fix something that wasn't even broke.
