Set Record Type Via Link? Dynamic Links?
I have two questions that should be pretty simple although I have spent good time trying to find the solution.
First: On my site I have a component acting as my sidebar with a set of links. When one of the links is clicked, I want it to dynamically set the record type. For example, if the user clicks the enrollment link, it would take them to the enrollment page, but I also want the record type to be set to "enrollment". Via the UI you can set record type via the URL but I do not know how to accomplish this via Sites.
<apex:component > <div id = "menu_container"> <div id = "menu"> <ul> <li class="menu_header">Some Name <ul> <li><a href="http://testing.somename.cs3.force.com/enroll">Enrollment</a></li> <li><a href="http://testing.somename.cs3.force.com/cert">Certification</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </apex:component>
Second: I'm sure there is a better way of linking to pages vs. the static example above. I want to avoid scanning through the site if I change the name of a Page. Is there a better way of referencing a Page via a link?
Any assistance with code, ideas, and/or examples is much appreciated.
For the second part of your question:
Have a look at using $Page and URLFOR (http://salesforcesource.blogspot.com/2008/12/urlfor-function-finally-explained.html)
You should be able to use URLFOR in an apex:outputLink along with $Page.MyPageName.
Thanks Ryan, that fixes #2. This is what worked for me:
Anyone have an idea on question #1?
