[SalesForce] Need Save and New method in controller for save and new custom button

I trying to add Save and new button at quote line item page editor level. But I'm stuck with ideas.

Controller:

    public PageReference save() {
        checkRecursive.run = false;

        refresh();
        for (QuoteLineItemWrapper quoteWrap: TotalquoteLineItems) {
            if (quoteWrap.quoteLineItem.DisCount_Amount__c > 0) {
                if (quoteWrap.subTotal != 0) {
                    Double variableONE = 100 - (((quoteWrap.subTotal - quoteWrap.quoteLineItem.DisCount_Amount__c) * 100) / quoteWrap.subTotal);
                    quoteWrap.quoteLineItem.Discount = variableONE;
                }
            }
        }
        List < QuoteLineItem > itemsToInsertOrUpdate = new List < QuoteLineItem > ();
        List < QuoteLineItem > ExiistingitemsToUpdate = new List < QuoteLineItem > ();

        for (QuoteLineItemWrapper itemWrapper: quoteLineItems) {
            itemsToInsertOrUpdate.add(itemWrapper.quoteLineItem);
        }
         for (QuoteLineItemWrapper itemWrapper: ExistingquoteLineItems) {
            ExiistingitemsToUpdate.add(itemWrapper.quoteLineItem);
        }


        String errorMsg;

        if (!itemsToInsertOrUpdate.isEmpty()) {

                            return null;
            }


            if (mode == 'Add' || mode == 'AMS')
                try {
                    insert itemsToInsertOrUpdate;
                    if(ExiistingitemsToUpdate!=null && ExiistingitemsToUpdate.size()>0){
                       update ExiistingitemsToUpdate;
                    }
                    MRsort();

                } catch (Exception e) {
                errorMsg = e.getMessage();               
            } else if (mode == 'Edit') {
                try {
                    update itemsToInsertOrUpdate;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    errorMsg = e.getMessage();
                }
            }
            if (mode != 'Edit') {
                errorMsg = updateTAC(errorMsg);
                //return null;
            }
        }
 if (errorMsg != null && errorMsg != '') {
            ErrorManager(errorMsg);
            //Apexpages.Message errMsg = new Apexpages.Message(Apexpages.Severity.ERROR , errorMsg);
            //Apexpages.addMessage(errMsg);
            return null;
        }
        return new PageReference('/' + quoteId);
    }

VF ppage:

<body onload="OnLoadQuantityModif();">           
<apex:form id="pageform" >

<apex:pageMessages escape="false" ></apex:pageMessages>
<apex:actionFunction name="sayHello" action="{!save}" rerender="out" status="myStatus"/>
 <apex:pageBlock id="pb" title="New Quote Line Items for {!quote.Name}">
 <font color="red"><apex:outputText value="{!strLeadMsg}"  /></font>
<!--            Add/Edit Products to this quote from {!priceBook.Name}-->
          <br/> 
            <br/>  
            <apex:pageblockbuttons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" rendered="{!IF(ISNULL( strAfficherSaveButton) ,false,true)}"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Save Multiple items" action="{!saveMultyplesitems}" rendered="{!IF(ISNULL(strAfficherMultipleButton) ,false,true)}"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/><br/> <br/>


                <apex:commandButton action="{!Save}" value="Save & New" id="saveAndNew"/>
                    <apex:param name="newAndSave" value="newAndSave" />

Here I did not copied the whole save method. I'm not sure that I have to write a new method for save and new or I can just add some code in save method.

Thanks in advance.

If you add a save method to your controller it will be used instead of the standard save method provided by the standard controller.

So whatever you want to happen when the user clicks save you will have to write.

After rereading I get what you are asking now:

You can add another method to use the current save() method then after that is finished executing have it do the additional code needed for the new part

public pagereference saveandnew(){
   save();
   //Do what you need to do to direct the user to the NEW record
   //not sure if it is the standard page you want to take them to or something in your current page
}

[SalesForce] Custom Save and New Button

You can use a technique referred to as "URL Hacking" to accomplish this.

The idea behind URL hacking is that when you're writing a button, or a link -- anything with a URL, you can pre-populate certain fields with data from the URL itself.

First, a little background. Forms -- those bits of a web page that accept information from a user have two general ways of transmitting that data back to the server. 1: POST DATA, this is the more advanced but more common data transmission method as it allows for things like file uploads, and much larger forms. 2: URL Parameters, This is where each form variable is HTML Encoded and appended in a key=value format to the URL. You've no doubt seen this where the URL's look like: www.example.com/awesomePage?id=123&variable1=hello&varaible2=world

In general, while not officially supported, most salesforce pages will accept inputs through URL parameters OR POST Data. Thus, if you know the key of the data you want to set, you can set that data via a custom button by appending that key=data bit to the url. There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind, however. 1: The first key,value pair is demarcated from the page url with a '?'. After the first key,value pair, all others are separated by '&' signs. Remember that url example from above? note that the id=123 has a ? before it, but variable1 and variable2 both have &'s in front.

Now the hardest part of this is often discovering what the name of the KEY is. Truth is, you can always find it from reading the source, but that is often an exercise in mind numbing frustration. HTML is too <<< >>> pointy.

https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html has a list of form related javascript bookmarklets - One of which is called FrmGet. FrmGet will translate POST Data forms to Url Parameter forms which can make it easier to find the key your looking for.

So if you've read this far -- Congratulations, you know the theory behind what you want to do. Bored yet? In the end what you want to is create a button that has a url something like instance.salesforce.com/path/page?recordTypeId=<<<RECORDTYPEID>>>

[SalesForce] Custom ‘Save & New’- Button with redirect to record type selection page

Take a look at the URL for the recordtype selection page for the object in question. For Opportunity for example, it's:

/setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=Opportunity&retURL=<VF_page>&save_new_url=006/e

006/e being the standard Opportunity edit page.

It should be a similar approach for all objects.
