Hi

I have created an Apex class called relation. It has a public field of type contact. I want to input this contact from a VF page.

When I add 

<apex:inputField value="{!relation.contact}"

 I get this exception:

<apex:inputField> can only be used with SObject fields.	

I added a public contact field in my controller called C.

I tried to use the contact from my controller but again got the same error.

Why is lookup bounded to SObject fields and not SObject types?

Hi

I have added two record types(RT1,RT2) to Contact. I want to set the value to RT2 if some condition is met. (RT1 is default)

I added this code to my controller before updating.

		c.RecordType =  [select Id from RecordType where Name = 'RT2' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
		update c;

When I create a new Contact the RecordType is correctly set to RT1.

But when I want to change it to RT2 it does not change. (the line is executed and the recordTypeId value is changed (I debugged))

Then I moved this codes into a trigger

trigger updateRecordType on Contact (before update) {
    system.debug('Entered Contact Trigger');
    for (Contact c: Trigger.new) {
        system.debug('c.RecordType before trigger = '+c.RecordType.Name +' '+ c.RecordType.id +' '+c.RecordTypeId );
        if (condition){
            c.RecordType =  [select Id,Name from RecordType where Name = 'RT2' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
            system.debug('c.RecordType = '+c.RecordType.Name +' '+ c.RecordType.id +' '+c.RecordTypeId );
        }else{
            c.RecordType =  [select Id,Name from RecordType where Name = 'RT1' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
            system.debug('c.RecordType = '+c.RecordType.Name +' '+ c.RecordType.id +' '+c.RecordTypeId );
        }
    }
}

 From all the debug lines I get the correct RT values, but still RT is not changed after the record is saved.

Cheers

Hi

I need add some functionality to contact page. I want a copy of contact edit page to add  a controller extension. Has anyone done that before?

I can add all the fields to a VF page but I want the page look exactly like standard contact page.

Hi 

I am creating a VF page for contacts. When I put the <apex:inputField value="{!ownerId}" on the page it shows and empty input field, but the same thing on the standard layout is filled with current user.

How can I imitate the standard form's behavior with minimum changes in data model?

Hi 

I want to create a VF page for contact.( I need to remove some fields and add some extended functionality)

When I add <apex:inputField value="{!contact.name}"> what I get is a label and no input field, but in the standard contact layout you can move the name field and it creates a combo box (salutation) and firstname and last name.

The same happens for the address.

How can  use the name and address component in my own VF page?

Hi

I have created a custom page and a tab for it. When I select the tab, everything goes well except that tab is not highlighted. Sometimes another tab gets highlighted and sometimes not tab.

Hi

I want to create a person custom object. I want to have first name and last name separately but I also want them both to be shown in pick list and searches....

I tried to create a dummy name field (full name) and fill it with fName+ lName. but in the default layout I cannot remove the name field from the form or set a temp default value on it.

any suggestions?

Would it help if I made a custom form and left out the name field?

I want to add some extended functionality to contact page. I need to keep the current layout and add some buttons and fields to it. 

If I want to use a custom controller or add a controller extension, I need to build the page from the scratch.

I'm looking for a way to keep the standard page layout and apply some minor changes. 

Hi

I have added two record types(RT1,RT2) to Contact. I want to set the value to RT2 if some condition is met. (RT1 is default)

I added this code to my controller before updating.

		c.RecordType =  [select Id from RecordType where Name = 'RT2' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
		update c;

When I create a new Contact the RecordType is correctly set to RT1.

But when I want to change it to RT2 it does not change. (the line is executed and the recordTypeId value is changed (I debugged))

Then I moved this codes into a trigger

trigger updateRecordType on Contact (before update) {
    system.debug('Entered Contact Trigger');
    for (Contact c: Trigger.new) {
        system.debug('c.RecordType before trigger = '+c.RecordType.Name +' '+ c.RecordType.id +' '+c.RecordTypeId );
        if (condition){
            c.RecordType =  [select Id,Name from RecordType where Name = 'RT2' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
            system.debug('c.RecordType = '+c.RecordType.Name +' '+ c.RecordType.id +' '+c.RecordTypeId );
        }else{
            c.RecordType =  [select Id,Name from RecordType where Name = 'RT1' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
            system.debug('c.RecordType = '+c.RecordType.Name +' '+ c.RecordType.id +' '+c.RecordTypeId );
        }
    }
}

 From all the debug lines I get the correct RT values, but still RT is not changed after the record is saved.

I want to add some extended functionality to contact page. I need to keep the current layout and add some buttons and fields to it. 

If I want to use a custom controller or add a controller extension, I need to build the page from the scratch.

I'm looking for a way to keep the standard page layout and apply some minor changes. 

I'm overriding the default tab view for the Case object.  It's all easy enough to add access to existing views via a dropdown, just like the default tab would have

      <apex:selectList value="{!filterId}" size="1">
        <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="list"/>
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!listviewoptions}"/>
      </apex:selectList>

But of course an overriden tab should provide the preexisting functionality which enables the user to create new views, edit existing ones, etc.  So is there a way I can leverage salesforce's code to provide the standard view links like below (Create New View | Edit | Delete | Refresh) in my custom visual force page?
