Insert data failed through site in standard object

Hi all,

 

      I Have problem with salesforce site. I am trying to insert record in standard object through site but i am getting an error that is ,

 

Authorization Required

You must first log in or register before accessing this page.
If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot Password to reset it.

 

-------

 

When i am trying it through visualforcepage on platform its working fine.

 

My VF Page is,

 

<apex:page Standardcontroller="Account">
   
  <apex:form >
   <apex:pageBlock title="Account Info">
 
      <apex:pageBlockButtons >
        <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
      </apex:pageBlockButtons>
 
      <apex:pageBlockSection showHeader="false" columns="2">
        <apex:inputField value="{!account.name}" />
      </apex:pageBlockSection>
 
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

 

Can anybody suggest?

 

Thanks,

 

Anuja.

Have you configured the public access settings for the site correctly - i.e. have you given the public access profile create permission to accounts?

 

If that is set up, I'd imagine that the standard controller is attempting to direct you to the standard salesforce.com record view page for the newly created account, and this is requiring you to login.

Hi,

 

      I did all CRUD settings and field level security settings for account object.

      It is still diverting control to salesforce's standard login page.

 

 

      Thanks,

So it sounds like the second part of my answer is applying - Salesforce is trying to redirect you to the standard view page for the account that you have created.  I'd image you'll need to write an extension controller where the save method redirects you to a site specific page rather than the standard page.

Hi,

 

   I have tried with the controller and redirection to the another page but still the record is not getting saved in the Account object.

 

The code for which i have tried is -

 

VF Page ------------

 

<apex:page  showHeader="false" Controller="accController" >  
       <apex:outputPanel layout="block">        
        <apex:form>
                     <apex:panelGrid columns="2" >
                      <apex:outputLabel value="First Name"/>
                      <apex:inputText required="true" value="{!Name}"/>
                      <apex:outputLabel value="Email"/>
                      <apex:inputText required="true" value="{!Email}"/>
                     
                      <br/><br/>
                      <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Contact Me"/>
         
                   </apex:panelGrid>
        </apex:form>
        </apex:outputPanel>
</apex:page>

 

 

Controller ----------

 

public class accController
{
   
    public accController() {

    }
   
    public String name { get; set; }
    public String Email { get; set; }
   
    public PageReference save()
    {
        Account objAcc = new Account();
        objAcc.Name = name;
        objAcc.Email__c = Email;
        insert objAcc;


        PageReference pr=new PageReference('/apex/MainPage');
        pr.setRedirect(true);
        return pr;    
    }

}

Have you tried turning on debug logging for the public access profile to see if you are getting errors?

As far as I know you CANNOT insert data in standard objects through sites. You can create a dummy object and insert them, keeping the standard object and the dummy object in sync using trigger.

bob_buzzardbob_buzzard

I don't think that is correct - I've just created a simple page and controller to save an account and been able to successfully insert 5 accounts via a site as an unauthenticated user - each account is owned by the guest profile associated with the site. 

BeeddiskShahBeeddiskShah

Using a authenticated user right? A direct guest user cannot create standard objects, thats my understand. Let me explore.

bob_buzzardbob_buzzard

No, as I said above, this was an unauthenticated user.

 

My understanding was that you can do this, but it isn't a good idea.

 

I'm using developer edition BTW.

bob_buzzardbob_buzzard

To speed up your exploration,  here's the page and controller I used:

 

controller:

 

 

public  class CreateAccountController 
{
	public Account acc {get; set;}
	public CreateAccountController()
	{
		acc=new Account();
	}
	
	public void Save()
	{
		insert acc;
		acc=new Account();
	}
}

 

 

 

Page:

 

 

<apex:page controller="CreateAccountController" sidebar="false" standardstylesheets="false"
    showheader="false">
<h1>Create Account</h1>
<apex:form >
<apex:inputText value="{!acc.name}"/><br/><br/>
<apex:commandButton action="{!Save}" value="save" />
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
