| Aug 26, 2015 at 22:12 | comment | added | Rob | Sorry slim, I can't spot any other issues. If this is in a sandbox and you want me to have a look, I'd be happy to. Otherwise, you should be able to raise a bounty on this question soon. | |

No, I did move the <apex:form> tag outside the repeater. I just forgot to include it in the code here.

It doesn't look like you've moved the <apex:form> tags to wrap the entire page (i.e. outside the <apex:repeat> tags) - this is what fixed the issue in my test.

Added the code. I only added the rerender and the id index like you suggested in the last comment.
|
|
| Aug 26, 2015 at 13:42 | comment | added | Rob | I'm afraid I didn't keep the test code. Please update your question with the latest code and I'll see if I can spot anything | |
| Aug 26, 2015 at 13:34 | comment | added | slim | I added the rerender and the index id but I'm still not getting this to work. I cannot post in either of my textInput fields and when I check the debug logs, I can see the correct index being pulled (either 0 or 1) but the postAnswer value is always null. Do you mind sharing your code from your test? | |

I just recreated the issue in a sandbox, and wrapping everything in a single <apex:form> fixed it for me! Hopefully it will for you too. I did come across a different issue in the process - you need to rerender the <apex:variable var="questionIndex" value="{!0}" />. You can do this by giving it an ID, e.g. index, and changing the commandButton rerender to rerender="replies,index"

Hi Rob, thanks for all your help on this. I did not get this resolved yet. I haven't worked on it since Friday. I will try wrapping the entire thing in <apex:form> currently, I have multiple form tags - could this be why?

Hi slim, were you able to resolve this? If not, try moving the <apex:form> tags so that they wrap your entire page. In the debug log above, is questionIndex = 0 correct - i.e. was it the first item that you clicked?
|
|
| Aug 22, 2015 at 2:26 | comment | added | slim | I already have a rerender on the commandButton. Both commandButtons have the same action. Could that be interfering somehow? I'm just surprised that the second inputText works with the commandButton, but the first one doesn't. | |

Try adding a rerender attribute to the <apex:commandbutton />. It doesn't matter what it's rerendering, it's just necessary to have that attribute to make the parameters work properly. You could wrap the entire page contents in an <apex:outputpanel id="pageContents"></apex:outputPanel> and rerender that, if you like.

In that case I'd use System.debug() to check the values of wrapperQuestions and questionIndex inside saveReply().

After adding the {!currentQuestion.postAnswer} code to the inpuText tag, I'm able to post to the second of the two reply fields, but not the first one.

You still need to change the value of the <apex:inputText /> element to {!currentQuestion.postAnswer} and questionIndex as another <apex:param> to the <apex:commandButton>

| Aug 22, 2015 at 0:54 | comment | added | slim | Sorry - VF page updated now. I updated the Apex code but forgot the VF code. | |
| Aug 22, 2015 at 0:45 | comment | added | Rob | Please take another look at the second half of my answer - you need to update your VF page. | |
| Aug 22, 2015 at 0:42 | comment | added | slim |
questionIndex is in the saveReply() function. You have to scroll to the bottom of the apex code portion. Just like you suggested: postAnswer = wrapperQuestions[questionIndex].postAnswer;
|

The VF code above does not include any mention of questionIndex.
|
|
| Aug 22, 2015 at 0:02 | comment | added | slim | I code above is the most up-to-date version. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 21:26 | comment | added | Rob | Please update your Visualforce code above to your latest version | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 19:33 | comment | added | slim | actually, it's not working for either reply inputText now. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | slim |
I tried postAnswer = wrapperQuestions[questionIndex].postAnswer;, but it's still giving me a null value for the postAnswer value. I have 2 of these inputText fields on my test page and I'm able to post the second reply, but always get a null value for the first one.

If you're taking the approach I suggested, this statement: wrapperQuestions[questionIndex].postAnswer = postAnswer; is the wrong way round. It should be postAnswer = wrapperQuestions[questionIndex].postAnswer;. If you're still having problems, please update all of the code above with the latest version.
|
|
| Aug 21, 2015 at 18:33 | comment | added | slim | It seemed to work for the last reply box, but when I tested with the first one, I'm getting postAnswer as a null value. I've edited my post to include my save() function. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 18:26 | comment | added | slim | That worked perfectly. Just note that the index has to start with 0. | |

Changed wrapperQuestions[questionIndex]['postAnswer'] to wrapperQuestions[questionIndex].postAnswer
|
| Aug 21, 2015 at 16:39 | comment | added | Rob |
Sorry, that syntax was wrong. Try wrapperQuestions[questionIndex].postAnswer.
|
|
| Aug 21, 2015 at 16:33 | comment | added | slim | Thanks! I think I'm getting closer now. I have added the index and the also a String 'postAnswer' to the wrapper class, but I'm not sure how to get the value using the index. I tried to access it like this: wrapperQuestions[questionIndex]['postAnswer'] but it is throwing an error. I know I'm getting the right questionIndex value (I used System.Debug('===postAnswer===' + questionIndex); and got the right value). | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 16:07 | comment | added | Rob | Cheers, updated answer! | |

Rewrite with new answer.

| Aug 21, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | slim | This is just a snippet. I can post the entire thing so you can see what's happening if it helps. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 15:16 | comment | added | Rob | Thanks for posting the controller, but it's still hard to tell what's going on - you aren't repeating anything in the code above. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 15:13 | comment | added | slim | Added my controller, but it doesn't show much. I'm just using the button to debug what values are passed back. In my case I need to pass back the reply and the questionId - So I can post the reply into the database for the correct question. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 15:09 | comment | added | Rob |
Understood. In that case, you may need to change the type of postAnswer from a String to a list of Strings. It's hard to tell from the code above. Can you post more of the page (specifically the <apex:repeat>) and the controller please?
|
|
| Aug 21, 2015 at 15:05 | comment | added | slim | Thanks Rob, but I think I was unclear. The inputText field is supposed to be empty and filled in by the user and then the value of this needs to be passed to the controller. | |
