This should be a simple change. I am modifying code from a previous developer so if there are any suggestions they are very welcome.
This is a simple button to call a VF page that will produce a pdf page for printing. Data for the page is pulled from the main record and child rows from another table. I added a new field to the parent it errors when I try to access it. It is a formula field pulling data from a related table. When that did not work, I attempted to add a select for the related table and pull the field that way. Now the select fails when I try to use the lookup id field from the parent. It is almost as if it is working from a select that does not include the fields which I have seen many times in Apex if I forget to add new fields to the select. In this case though, I thought the standard controller included all fields from the parent object. Please advise where I can make the extra fields available. I have been setting some fields to defaults so there may be some inconsistencies in the code. The data point I am trying to get is Type_of_EG_Certification__c.

This is where I get the error at line 34 attempting to get the Course__c object into mainCourse. The error states controlCourse.Course_Code__c is not available.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I made the changes and that error was cleared, but I am still having problems getting the true/false value into the component.
Controller changes:
mainCourse = [SELECT Type_of_EG_Certification__c FROM Course__c
WHERE Id IN (SELECT Course_Code__c FROM Public_Seminar__c WHERE Id = :controlCourse.Id)];
public Boolean getcourseTPECS() {
if (mainCourse.Type_of_EG_Certification__c == 'TPECS')
return true;
else
return false;
}
New component call gets error - Error: Unknown property 'Public_Seminar__cStandardController.CourseTPCES' on save:
<c:RosterComponent course="{!Public_Seminar__c}" RenderPDF="true" isTPECS="{!CourseTPCES}" />
Attribute in component:
<apex:attribute name="isTPECS"
type="Boolean"
description="Is TPECS course?"
required="true" />
What is causing the error in the VFP component call? I am using the same technique as InstructorName. What am I missing?
One other question I have, is it necessary to use the assignTo or can I just use the name of the attribute in the body of the component. If it is required, then it must be defined in the controller?
