riffindus Newbie in visualforce need help on help on identifying objects and fields in visual force.
I am trying to put all the positions in the position object in a datatable using the visualforce. I am not sure how i can identify the field needed
<apex:page standardController="position__c">
<apex:pageBlock title="Hello {!$User.FirstName}!">
You are viewing the {!position__c.name} account.
</apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlock title="table">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!position__c.???}" var="contact">
<apex:column value="{!Position__c.Name}"/>
<apex:column value="{!Position__c.location}"/>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
I don't know what to mention in the ??? area and how i can point out the fields of the each position in a tabular form.
Try this,
<apex:page standardController="position__c">
<apex:pageBlock title="Hello {!$User.FirstName}!">
You are viewing the {!position__c.name} account.
</apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlock title="table">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!position__c}" var="contact">
<apex:column value="{!contact.Name}"/>
<apex:column value="{!contact.location}"/>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
you need to send id of position record along with page link to test it properly
example - https://c.ap1.visual.force.com/apex/positionpage?id=a0090000006XHjU
also read "visualforce workbook" pdf on link http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Force.com_workbook
this should help.
Hi Rahul,
I think i didn't write what exactly i am looking for in the datatable. my datatable in visualforce page should display all the records in a tabular fashion. If i mention the ID in the URL, it will display only the context related to the particular ID alone but i am looking for all the records to be displayed.
Then you have to use recordsetvar attribute of page component. Please follow link for similar example.

also go through the pdf link in the my past reply for better understanding of visualforce pages.
Rahul,
You got me now. I know to use recordsetvar in the tag but i don't know what would be the value of it. Suppose my custom object API name is Position__c. really i don't know what i should give in recordsetvar value, as i saw that in some example in visual force tutorial. they used "Account "standard object and recordsetvar was set as "Accounts". do i have to provide the plural name over there?
