Custom Pagination in Visualforce made eady

This was an assignment given by one of my friend on Nov 12th, 2011. I thought it was an easy task, just making a visual force page with pagination it, but to my surprise, it was not -:(

So, here is the objective, putting it in exact words of my dear friend:

“You have accounts and a number of opportunities at different stages are associated to them. You have to design an inline Visualforce page on account detail page that shows a dropdown containing various opportunity stages. When user selects any of the listed stage, the PageBlockTable should show the all the Opportunities with the selected stage.”

This was the basic requirement, now comes the tough part:
      1. It should also use the pagination with first, last, previous, next and page size options.
      2. It should also use sorting and the entire functionality should be ajaxified.

I started designing the page and finished the basic functionality in 2 hours. Then came the pagination part for which I knew I cannot use standard list controllers, so I decided to use a custom class, SObjectPaginator from the package Apex-lang(http://code.google.com/p/apex-lang/). All thanks to Richard Vanhook for developing Apex-lang and making our lives easier.

It’s very easy to use to SObjectPaginator, you just need to implement the interface and the method handlePageChange(List newPage) and call the SObjectPaginator.setRecords(List) to set the records in pagination.

Solution: Here is the screenshot of what came out after 8 hours of hard work.

Inline visualforce page on account detail page




The Visualforce Page:
<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="OpportunityOnAccountDetailExtension">
  <apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock mode="edit" >
      <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
         <apex:outputText >
           <B>Select an Opportunity stage to view opportunities related to this account:</B>
         </apex:outputText>
         
   <apex:actionRegion >
            <apex:selectList size="1" multiselect="false" value="{!selectedStage}"  >

  4. Hi Raja,
    Thanks for your interest in the post!
    Did you install the package Apex Lang(http://code.google.com/p/apex-lang/) which is a pre-requisite for the functionality to work?

  7. This is really good.
    Do you have test class for this? so we can move the controller to Production.
    Thanks,

    1. This is so wonderful! Two questions:
      1. How can I change this to sort by CloseDate? I've tried changing where it says Name to CloseDate but that doesn't seem to be working...am I missing something obvious?
      2. Can you post or send me the test class to get this working? I'm at the point right now that I'm barely able to get a test class for a trigger working and this is far beyond that. My email ID if you need it is mrshowell @ gmail . com

      Thanks!

  9. I got the sorting worked out but is there any way that you could please post your test class? I'm having a terrible time getting up to 75% coverage.

    Thanks!
