How to use salesforce PageReference to redirect after a new record insert?
I want to redirect the user to a custom vf detail page when they create a new Service Order from my custom page order page (force_NewOrder).
I have created a extension which should save and redirect the user but I am given a generic error:
Error: Error occurred while loading a Visualforce page.
VF (force_NewOrder) public force_NewOrderLogic(ApexPages.StandardController controller) { } Service_Order__c order; public PageReference save() { insert order; PageReference orderPage = new PageReference('/force_OrderDetail?id=' + order.id); orderPage.setRedirect(true); return orderPage; } }
I found an answer here that might work for you, where the solution would be to change your "Save" method to the following:
Public salesforce PageReference saveAndRedirect() { if(controller.save() != null) { PageReference redirectPage = Page.force_OrderDetail; redirectPage.setRedirect(true); redirectPage.getParameters().put('id',controller.getId()); return redirectPage; } return null; }
Then change your action on the VF page to "saveAndRedirect".
Reason:
1) Your "save" function is shadowed by the standard controller's "save" function, so your code won't work. You have to rename the function, and call that action instead.
