Visuaforce page as a list button to create a new account

Hi,

is there a way to write a method in a controller extension which saves the new account i'm creating with the visualforce page below? The standard controller save action doesn't work so i need a method on the controller extension which saves the account

Here the visualforce page:

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="testcontroller123" recordSetVar="accounts">
   <apex:form >
       <apex:pageBlock >

       <apex:pageBlockSection >
       
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                <apex:outputLabel >Account Name</apex:outputLabel>
                <apex:inputField id="actName" value="{!account.name}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>     

           <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!saveRecord}"/>


       </apex:pageBlockSection>
           
       </apex:pageBlock>           
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Here the extension:

public class testcontroller123 {

    public Account acct;
    
    public testcontroller123(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
        this.acct = (Account)stdController.getRecord();
    }
    
public ApexPages.PageReference saveRecord() {
  // I can do custom logic here before I save the record.
  ApexPages.StandardController controller = new ApexPages.StandardController(acct);
  try {
    controller.save();
  }
  catch(Exception e) {
    return null;
  }
  return controller.view();
}

    

}

Add an action using Standard List Controller

Hi,

I'm trying to add the save action to a button on a visualforce page to save a new account. I'm using a standard list controller because I want the page to be available as a list button. If I click on save it doesn't work, am I missing something?

Thanks

Here is the code:

<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="accounts">
   <apex:form>
       <apex:pageBlock>

       <apex:pageBlockSection>
       
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                <apex:outputLabel >Account Name</apex:outputLabel>
                <apex:inputField id="actName" value="{!account.name}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>     
           
       		<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
           
       </apex:pageBlockSection>
           
       </apex:pageBlock>           
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Save button on a visualforce page doesn't work if workflow rule is active

Hi,

we made a visualforce page to create new accounts. We wanted the page NOT to have a field where to insert the "account name" because we want it to be automatically populated after we press the save button, using a workflow rule.

Now, if we create and activate a workflow rule to autopopulate the Account Name then we press save, the new account is not created and the page simply refresh. While if we use a trigger everything works fine. We'd like to use a workflow though, becuase it's easier to be mantained and transfered.

Here the vf page:

<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="true" sidebar="true">
    <apex:form id="myForm">
        <script>
            function copyAddress() {
                var shippingStreet = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id58:actShippingStreet');
                var shippingCity = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id64:actShippingCity');
                var shippingState = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id70:actShippingState');
                var shippingCountry = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id82:actShippingCountry');
                var shippingPostalCode = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id76:actShippingPostalCode');

                var BillingStreet = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id55:actBillingStreet');
                var BillingCity = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id61:actBillingCity');
                var BillingState = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id67:actBillingState');
                var BillingCountry = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id79:actBillingCountry');
                var BillingPostalCode = document.getElementById('j_id0:myForm:pgBlock:pgBlockSectionAddressInfo:j_id73:actBillingPostalCode');

                shippingStreet.value = BillingStreet.value;
                shippingCity.value = BillingCity.value;
                shippingState.value = BillingState.value;
                shippingCountry.value = BillingCountry.value;
                shippingPostalCode.value = BillingPostalCode.value;

Here the apex trigger:

trigger UpdateNameOact on Account (before insert, before update) {
    
    for (Account act : Trigger.New) {
    
        act.Name = act.Phone + ' ' + act.Website;
        
    }

}

Here the workflow rule:
