Embedded VF Page Not Rendering on Page Layout

Question

I have a Visual Force page that I created that contains a dynamic pick list field I want to add to a page layout. The VF page uses a standard controller for "Account" and has an extension. I am having an issue with the dynamic pick list field displaying on the Account page when I add it to the page layout.

VF Page:

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="Account_QuoteTemplatesExtension" showHeader="false" sidebar="false">
    <apex:detail />
    <apex:form >
        <apex:PageBlock mode="edit">
            <apex:PageBlockSection title="Quote Template Selection" columns="1">
                <apex:PageBlockSectionItem >

                    <!-- Label for picklist -->
                    <apex:outputLabel value="Quote Template" for="quoteTemplates" />
                    <!-- Dynamic picklist of values (quote templates) -->
                    <apex:selectList value="{!selectedTemplate}" size="1" id="quoteTemplates">
                        <apex:selectOptions value="{!TemplateOptions}" />
                    </apex:selectList>

                </apex:PageBlockSectionItem>
            </apex:PageBlockSection>
        </apex:PageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Apex Class Controller:

global with sharing class Account_QuoteTemplatesExtension {

private final ApexPages.StandardController controller;
private final Account record;
private final Id recordId;

public String selectedTemplate {get; set;}

public Account_QuoteTemplatesExtension (ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
    this.controller = stdController;
    this.recordId   = this.controller.getId();
    this.record     = [SELECT id, name FROM Account WHERE Id = :this.recordId LIMIT 1];
}

// Returns list of quote template options
public List<SelectOption> getTemplateOptions() {
    // Initiate option list
    List<SelectOption> tempOptions = new List<SelectOption>();
    // Get all quote templates from metadata
    List<Quote_Template__mdt> quoteTemplates = [SELECT MasterLabel, Template_Id__c FROM Quote_Template__mdt];
    // Add all options to select option list
    for (Quote_Template__mdt temp : quoteTemplates) {
        tempOptions.add(new SelectOption(temp.Template_ID__c,temp.MasterLabel));
    } 
    return tempOptions;   
}

}

I have added the VF page in a section called "Quote Template"

But the section renders blank on the Account record page

The VF page renders fine in the preview, but will not show up embedded on the page layout.

Is this an issue with my controller?

Answer 1

I think this may actually be related to bugs in Chrome's build for version 52. Try installing version 53 (which is still in Beta) and you may resolve those security issues.

Answer 2

If your referring any field in visual force page please check that particular field permission is enabled for logged in user or not.
