pooja biswas display visualforce page based on picklist selection
Hi
I have created two record types for contact object.
I have a custom picklist displaye don vf page which has record types of contact object as picklist values.
I have a vf page called "contactsedit" which I want to display based on user selection in picklist.
In picklist if user selects record_type_1 then, the page "contactsedit" would be called with the customized selections made for record_type_1.
Here I will insert values into and save to UI.
similary in picklist if user selects "record_type_2" then the page "contactsedit" would be called with the customized selections made for record_type_2.
Here is the code.
Pls help me.

you can change it to suit your needs. (It's pretty much in line with your requirement)
Apex:
public class TestClass2 { public Opportunity opp{get;set;} public boolean pb2Rendered{get;set;} // true -> show pb2 public boolean pb3Rendered{get;set;} // true -> show pb3 public String selectedRT{get;set;} // selected value of selectList public TestClass2(){ opp = new Opportunity(Name='Some Random Name',stageName='Prospecting'); pb2Rendered = pb3Rendered = false; selectedRT=''; } public void save(){ // your logic to save data here //you may choose to have different save functions for different record types } public void onChangeFnCall(){ if(selectedRT=='abc'){ pb2Rendered = true; pb3Rendered = false; } else if(selectedRT=='def'){ pb2Rendered = false; pb3Rendered = true; } else{ pb2Rendered = false; pb3Rendered = false; } } }VF:
<apex:page id="pg" controller="TestClass2"> <apex:form > <apex:pageblock id="pb1"> Select: <apex:selectList value="{!selectedRT}" size="1" multiselect="false"> <apex:selectOption itemValue="" itemlabel="--None--"/> <apex:selectOption itemValue="abc" itemlabel="Abc"/> <apex:selectOption itemValue="def" itemlabel="Def"/> <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!onChangeFnCall}" /> </apex:selectList> </apex:pageBlock> <apex:pageblock id="pb2" rendered="{!pb2Rendered}"> Field1 (RecordType 1)<apex:inputText /><br/> Field2 (RecordType 1)<apex:inputText /><br/> Field3 (RecordType 1)<apex:inputText /><br/> <apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton value="save1" action="{!save}"/> </apex:pageBlockButtons> </apex:pageblock> <apex:pageblock id="pb3" rendered="{!pb3Rendered}"> Field1 (RecordType 2)<apex:inputText /><br/> Field2 (RecordType 2)<apex:inputText /><br/> Field3 (RecordType 2)<apex:inputText /><br/> <apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton value="save2" action="{!save}"/> </apex:pageBlockButtons> </apex:pageblock> </apex:form> </apex:page>If this helps you out, please mark this Best Answer.

The purpose of record types is to display different fields, so you'll need 2 separate contact edit pages for your record types.
If you wish to display any content dynamically, use <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="PageBlockYouWishToReRender" action="{!DefineActionInController}" />
Of course replace the variables with whatever your criteria for re-render are and the function in your controller that will handle it. This tag goes into the picklist input field where users pick the record type, like this: <apex:inputField value="{!MyPicklist}><apex:actionSupport....... /></apex:inputField>
If you wish to redirect to 2 alternative pages, why not simply create 2 buttons with each linking to a different record page?

Thanks for your reply.
As u said I will keep two command buttons, first command button will call page1(it will display fields of recordtype_1) and second one will call page2.
I would appreciate a piece of code would be helpful.
Thanks
pooja
ur code has helped me understand a lot.
so if record_type_1 is selected from picklist then I will call page_1 and if record_type_2 is selected from picklist then I will call page_2 through a command button.
so I will create 2 different visualforce pages.
This part is fine but now I have a doubt.
for record_type_1, assume LeadSource=Web / Phone Inquiry
for record_type_2 , assume LeadSource=Partner referral / Purchase List
Now when I select record_type_1 from picklist, then how to make sure that page which loads has LeadSource with the above values only.
could u please highlight on this?
thanks

What you're asking about is called dependent picklists - load picklist values based on another picklist. You can find good documentation on how to implement them here: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=fields_defining_field_dependencies.htm&language=en_US
Here is syntax for command button in Visualforce:
<apex:commandButton action="{!editRecordType1}" value="Record Type 1" id="editRecordType1"/>Value is the label that displays on your button and action is the function that executes when you click on it. You define your custom action in your controller.
The tricky part of saving a record across 2 pages is that you will need to save the changes after the first page, you can achieve that by invoking standard Save function from your custom function.
If it's only dependent picklists you're after you actually don't need Apex and Visualforce, you can achieve it as an admin by following guidelines in the link I provided above.
If you are sure, that each record type will have fixed dropdown options, you can have static picklist on those pages/ pageblocks:
On page1/pageBlock1 you will have:
<apex:selectList value={!objectVar__c.fieldName__c}> <apex:selectOption itemValue="Web" itemLabel ="Web"/> <apex:selectOption itemValue="Phone Inquiry" itemLabel ="Phone Inquiry"/> </apex:selectList>On Page2/Pageblock2 you will have:<apex:selectList value={!objectVar__c.fieldName__c}> <apex:selectOption itemValue="Partner Referral" itemLabel ="Purchase List"/> <apex:selectOption itemValue="Partner Referral" itemLabel ="Partner Referral"/> </apex:selectList>Make sure the text inside itemValue attribute on VF Page is present and is exactly same in the picklist field of the object.
Change "value" attribute in the selectList as per you sObject Variable name & field

This resolves my requirement.
