Any idea or suggestion what may be the issue.

PFA Screen Shot : enter image description here

Update - VF page constructs URL via controller as:

String redUrl = '/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid='+
    cas.contactId+
   '&p26='+cas.Email_to‌​_Case_Address__c +
   '&rtype=003&p3_lkid=' +cas.id + 
   '&p4='+cas.Email_CC_Address__c+
   '&p5='+ cas.Email_BCC_Address__c + 
   '&p6='+subject+ '&retURL=/'+ cas.id ;

Portion of VF PAGE :

<apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="CaseCommentAndEmailPageController">
  <apex:form >
            <apex:messages />
           <apex:pageBlock id="abc">
                <apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
                    <apex:commandLink value="Add Comment" action="{!addComment}" rendered="{!isButtonVisible}" target="_top" styleClass="btn custBtn"/>
                    <apex:commandLink value="Send Email" action="{!sendEmail}"  rendered="{!isButtonVisible}" styleClass="btn custBtn" target="_top" />
                </apex:pageBlockButtons>

            </apex:pageBlock>
        </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Portion of Code:

   public PageReference sendEmail(){
   //old Code
        System.debug('Working.....................');
        if(cas.Email_CC_Address__c == null || cas.Email_CC_Address__c == 'null'){
             System.debug('cas.Email_CC_Address__c = '+cas.Email_CC_Address__c);

         pageRef.getParameters().put('p2_lkid',cas.contactId);
         pageRef.getParameters().put('p26',cas.Email_to_Case_Address__c);
         pageRef.getParameters().put('rtype','003');
         String caseId = cas.id;
         if(caseId != null && caseId.length() > 15){
             pageRef.getParameters().put('p3_lkid',caseId.subString(0,15));
         }

         pageRef.getParameters().put('retURL',cas.id);
       // pageRef.setRedirect(true);
        return pageRef;
    }

Any help very much appreciated.

  • @cropredy:Yes ,we are using email to case .We have a vf page been created and for send email button the url is given as : String redUrl = '/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid='+cas.contactId+'&p26='+cas.Email_to_Case_Address__c +'&rtype=003&p3_lkid=' +cas.id + '&p4='+cas.Email_CC_Address__c+'&p5=' + cas.Email_BCC_Address__c + '&p6='+subject+ '&retURL=/'+ cas.id ; but when we click on the send email button,the CC and Bcc email ids are not getting copied.Any Suggestions very much appreciated.

  • so you are not using the Send Email button on the EmailMessage related list? You have some button on the Case detail page at the Case level? Have you tried manually entering the URL via copy-paste to see if the cc is populated? Does your VF controller get email_cc_address__c in context when getRecord() is called? (It won't unless that field is in the VF markup or you use addFields() method

Sorry for the delay

This can be done without a VF controller as follows (Here I used a custom object Foo__c rather than Case as I didn't want to mess up my Dev Edition Case):

<apex:page standardController="Foo__c" extensions="FooExtensions">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:variable var="vContact" value="{!Foo__c.contact__c}"/>
        <apex:variable var="vTo" value="{!Foo__c.to__c}"/>
        <apex:variable var="vCc" value="{!Foo__c.cc__c}"/>
        <apex:variable var="vBcc" value="{!Foo__c.bcc__c}"/>
        <apex:variable var="vName" value="{!Foo__c.name}"/>
    <apex:pageMessages />
       <apex:pageBlock id="abc">
        <apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
         <apex:commandButton value="New Comment"
            rendered="{!isButtonVisible}" styleClass="btn custBtn"
            action="{!URLFOR('00a/e',null,
                              'parent_id'=Foo__c.id,
                              'retURL'='/'+Foo__c.id)}"/>  
         <apex:commandButton value="Send Email" 
            rendered="{!isButtonVisible}" styleClass="btn custBtn"
            action="{!URLFOR('/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor',$ObjectType.Task,[
                             'p2_lkid'=Foo__c.contact__c,
                             'p26'=Foo__c.to__c,
                             'rtype'='003',
                             'p3_lkid'=Foo__c.id,
                             'p4'=Foo__c.cc__c,
                             'p5'=Foo__c.bcc__c,
                             'p6'=Foo__c.name,
                             'retURL'='/'+foo__c.id                          
                                                       ])}"/>
      </apex:pageBlockButtons
    </apex:pageBlock>

    ... rest of page ...
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Notes

  1. The apex:variable are needed to fetch values for the various to, cc, bcc, subject, ... fields from the controller for use in the URLFOR. If your VF page already has these fields elsewhere on the page, the apex:variable is not necessary.
  2. The URLFOR creates the redirect to the new Task Send an Email page. If you are not familiar with URLFOR, its syntax can sometimes be confusing. Just like any other VF function, everything within a {!..} is either an expression of constants and/or merge fields. What is sometimes confusing is the URLFOR third parameter, labeled inputs in the VF doc without any examples (!?!). This third parameter syntax is expression=expression

If, for some reason, you have to use a Controller, then be sure that you include the <apex:variable> on your page for any field needed by the controller in your expression for redUrl.
