Unknown property 'String.plancount' visual force

Question

My code is in visualforce page :- Something {!r.plancount} {!rep.name} for something

Getting error :-

Error: Unknown property 'String.plancount'  

for !rep.name I ma not getting any error.. I am using class myclassname ...

public without sharing class myclassname {

public integer plancount {get;set;}
public integer savedplancount;


public rep_profile__c therep{get;set;}
public list<websiteUtilities.ratingwrapper> thelist{get;set;}

public list<websiteUtilities.ratingwrapper> getratings(){        
    thelist=websiteUtilities.getRatingWrapperForREP(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id'));
    if (ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id')==null) thelist=websiteUtilities.getRatingWrapperForREP();
    return thelist;
}

public rep_profile__c getrep(){
    therep=[select id, createdby.firstname, name, about_us__c, star_rating_avg__c, total_reviews__c, logo_url__c, snapshot_id__c 
            from rep_profile__c where id =: ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id') limit 1];
    return therep;
}

public list<rate__c> getRates(){
    list<rate__C> theRates = [select id, plan__r.name from rate__c 
                              where plan__r.rep_profile__r.id =: ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id') 
                              and active__c = true AND plan__r.active__c = true AND suspended__c = false 
                              AND plan__r.suspended__c = false AND plan__r.plan_start_date__c <= today AND plan__r.plan_end_date__c >today ];
    return theRates;
} 


   public void getactivePlans(){//generates the plan list (really a list of rates)
        /*old version for single tdsp.  
        planlist=websiteCalc.getactivePlans();  */

       //new version that considers usage, premise type, and TDSP
       planlist = websiteCalc.getACtivePlans(premise, theAPA, tdspid);
        for (rate__c item:planlist){
            for(REP r:GetCompanyPicklist() ){  //gets the REP ids for the left-side picklist
                if (r.company.id == item.plan__r.REP_Profile__r.id){ r.plancount++ ;}
            }
            if (item.plan__r.contract_length__c>12) {moreThan12Count ++;}  //populate the contract lenght plan count numbers
            else if (item.plan__r.contract_length__c==12){exactly12count ++;}
                 else if ((item.plan__r.contract_length__c>5)&&(item.plan__r.contract_length__c<11)){from6to11Count ++;}
                     else if (item.plan__r.contract_length__c<6){lessThan6Count ++;} 

        }

   }


    public integer GetSavedPlanCount(){
        if (theAPA!=null){
            return websiteUtilities.fetchSavedPlans(theAPA).size();
        } else return 0;
    }


        public class REP{
            public REP_Profile__c company {get;set;}
            public boolean OK {get;set;}
            public integer plancount {get;set;}

            public REP(){
                plancount=0;
            }
        }


}

My visualforce page :-

<apex:page sidebar="false" controller="myclass" showHeader="false">
<apex:outputpanel styleClass="sub-title" layout="block">
        <div id="logo-wrap"> 
             <div class="logo-bg">
               <div align="center" style="width:77px; margin:0 auto;">
                </div>
                </div>
            </div> 
  <h2>Compare {!r.plancount} {!rep.name}  <br/>
                <span>To discover you</span></h2>   
                <a href="#" class="compare">Compare {!rep.name} now</a> 
                <a href="#" class="register">Now</a> 

        </apex:outputpanel>
</apex:page>

I have checked in google for this apex error but not able to find it..

Help me !!

Answer 1

Check the r.plancount in your controller

1. If it's a property - does it have a public getter (for example public String plancount {get; private set;}
2. If it's a method - is it a public getter (public String getPlancount())
3. If it's coming from an sObject - it probably should be plancount__c?
4. If all above looks ok and you're out of ideas - maybe the field visibility? Is the field marked as visible for your Profile?
5. r or rep? They're 2 different variables or did you forget to copy-paste-search-replace something?

The error message is looking weird too, it's as if r would be already a string. Do you use <apex:repeat>, <apex:variable> or something similar around the line you've posted?

EDIT

r is not visible to visualforce. That's because (as far as I can see) you have only 1 loop where you do something related to it.

for(REP r:GetCompanyPicklist() ){
    if (r.company.id == item.plan__r.REP_Profile__r.id){ r.plancount++ ;}
}

Look at it closer. You get some values, you loop through them, modify them a bit and then you discard them because loop is finished. It's useless. But it's also useless because even if you'd save them to a helper list variable - you increment a counter on each record separately (each will increment from 0 to 1 and that's it) while I think you're after getting a total count of ones that match criteria.

Something like this MIGHT be better (your code is hard to understand, don't know what you're really after).

plancount = 0; // that's the "public integer plancount {get;set;}", not the one from REP class
for(rate__c item:planlist){
    for(REP r:GetCompanyPicklist() ){  //gets the REP ids for the left-side picklist
        if (r.company.id == item.plan__r.REP_Profile__r.id){ plancount++ ;} // notice no "r.plancount"
    }

Answer 2

The issue is that you don't have variable named r at all.
