[SalesForce] Redirect user to custom detail page after record insert

I would like to redirect users from my custom visualforce 'New Record' page to custom detail page passing an ID parameter while doing so. The current behavior, after creating the record the user will be shown the normal salesforce record detail page.

I have constructed some code for this but I am not sure if its correct, the first issue I get is with the extension:

Expression must be a list type: SOBJECT:Service_Order__c at line 6
column 80

UPDATE:
Now page leads to the following issue

Error: Error occurred while loading a Visualforce page.

VF:

<apex:page showHeader="false" title="New Order" standardController="Service_Order__c" extensions="force_NewOrderLogic">
...
<apex:commandButton value="Create Order" action="{!save}" styleClass="btn btn-success" rerender="error,styledError,unstyledError"/>

Apex (updated):

public class force_NewOrderLogic {

    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;
    }
}

Best Answer

You have one order record, so you don't need to use an index to retrieve the id. Just change it to order.id. You would use the [0] on a list of orders not a single order. Also, create a new order for inserting: Service_Order__c order = new Service_Order__c.

[SalesForce] Using PageReference to redirect after new record insert

I found an answer here that might work for you as well, where the solution would be to change your "Save" method to the following:

public 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.

[SalesForce] Updated Values after VF PageReference redirect back to Lightning record page not appearing

I finally figured this out. This is actually a known issue between VF and background Apex changes (thanks Salesforce), along with navigation back to a Standard Page via PageReference:

https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p3A0000001C8QQAU&title=data-not-updated-in-ui-after-an-apex-update-in-lightning-experience

I found this Post that explained how to use remoting to force the refresh (in Lightning):

https://www.sales4k.com/sfdc/salesforce-lightning-refresh/

Unfortunately, that also did NOT (or no longer does) work either. It did however lead me to Googling caching issues with sforce.one.navigateToSObject in Lightning, where I found a Post that said sforce.one.back(true) does work in Lighting. Finally, I got it to work, using this approach. The following example illustrates my final solution:

Visual Force .page file:

<apex:page controller="YOUR_CONTROLLER" action="{!Launch}" cache="false" 
 lightningstylesheets="true">

   <script src="/soap/ajax/38.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="/soap/ajax/38.0/apex.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">

      // Back NAV.Refreshed
      sforce.one.back(true); // While sforce.one.navigateToSObject(YOUR_ID) did NOT 
                             // refresh, sforce.one.back(true) did refresh

    </script>
</apex:page>

Apex Controller

global class YOUR_CONTROLLER  
{   
   public void Launch()
   {
      // Your update logic goes here (will properly refresh on backward navigation)
      ...
   }
}
