Create a new record as a Guest User

Let me begin by saying that I can click to program (not a programmer).

 

I have designed a very basic survey form that I would like to display to customers so they can submit a review and then be redircted to a thank you page. I do not know how to execute the redirect when they click submit. I am using the following code to Save the record.

 

      <apex:pageBlockButtons >
          <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Submit Questionnaire"/>
      </apex:pageBlockButtons>

 

The site is enabled and I can view the form and fill in all of the fields, however, when I click Submit the following error page is displayed, "Page Not Found {VisualForcePage}/{Record ID}"

 

I know that the guest user doesn't have permissions to view the detail record which is why they receive the "Page Not Found..." message and I don't want them to view it, I want them to be redirected to a second Visualforce Page that essentially says, "Thank You."

Thank you Bulent for the code (can't really claim much of it anymore :) )

 

The completed code is below with a couple of additional lines. I received an error message stating, "System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object" So I went back to rereading and chapter 12 (pg 367) in the Developer Guide linked the current record used by the standard controller with the new controller from the extension and I hadn't done this. 

public class PublicSurveyExtension
  {
    private final Survey__c Survey;
    public PublicSurveyExtension
       (ApexPages.StandardController stdController)  {  
       this.Survey = 
           (Survey__c)stdController.getRecord();
       }
               public PageReference save() 
        {   
          try {
              insert(Survey);
              }
          catch(System.DMLException e) 
              {
              ApexPages.addMessages(e);
              return null;         
              }                       
         PageReference p = Page.publicthankyou;
         p.setRedirect(true);
         return p;
        } 
  }
 
Thank you for the extensive assistance, now I just need to figure out why after packaging the survey app the Site Url doesn't work within my developer account.
 
thanks again,
james

You might want to take a look at the Developer Book Chapter 14 There is a similar flow for job submission.

Thanks Bulent,
 
I had read the chapter and completely overlooked the Apex extension. I knew it had to be simple, just didn't read carefully.

I spoke to soon, still not solved :smileysad: 
 
I realize now I need to extend the standard controller per the example in chapter 14. My need though is much simpler, all that I want it to accomplish is save a single record and redirect to a thank you page...It redirects correctly, however, it doesn't save the record.
 
I know I'm having issues around lines 4 and 5, but don't know how to change it.
public class PublicSurveyExtension
  {
    public PublicSurveyExtension
       (ApexPages.StandardController stdController)  {  
       }
        private final Survey__c Survey;
        public PageReference save() 
          {                
         PageReference p = Page.publicthankyou;
         p.setRedirect(true);
         return p;
        } 
     
  }
 
thanks for any assistance.

Can you show us your form (full source code of your visual page)?
 
It's likely you didn't bind your form variable to a field of your object.

Thanks for the response, the code is below. I didn't include all of the pageBlockSection pieces of the code because they are all similar to the one that I did provide. The pageBlockSections all contain simple multi-select picklists with values 1-5. 
 
 
<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardController="Survey__c" >

  <!-- Introduction -->
  <apex:image id="RRLogo" 
  <apex:form>
      <apex:pageBlock title="Conference Questionnaire" mode="edit">
      <apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
      <apex:pageBlockButtons >
          <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Submit Questionnaire"/>
          
      </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:PageBlockSection title="General" collapsible="false" columns="2">
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.ReadRightClient__c}"/>
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.howDidYouHear__c}"/>
      </apex:PageBlockSection>
       <apex:PageBlockSection title="Pre-Arrival" collapsible="false" columns="2">
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.Question_1_1__c}"/>
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.Question_1_2__c}"/>
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.Question_1_3__c}"/>
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.Question_1_4__c}"/>
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Survey__c.Comments_1_0__c}"/>
      </apex:PageBlockSection>
     </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>
 
thanks,
james

if this is the save code
 
 
public class PublicSurveyExtension
  {
    public PublicSurveyExtension
       (ApexPages.StandardController stdController)  {  
       }
        private final Survey__c Survey;
        public PageReference save() 
          {                
         PageReference p = Page.publicthankyou;
         p.setRedirect(true);
         return p;
        } 
  }
 
 I don't see any record being created. the above code only does the redirect
 try the following controller extension instead
 
public PageReference save() {
       try {
           insert(Survey);
       } catch(System.DMLException e) {
           ApexPages.addMessages(e);
           return null;
       }
       PageReference p = Page.publicthankyou;
       p.setRedirect(true);
       return p;
 
    } 
 Also, you need to update your visualforce header to reference the controller extesion
 
  <apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardController="Survey__c" extensions="PublicSurveyExtension">
