returnUrl commandButton

Question

I would like to set a return URL after pressing the save commandButton on a new record page. How can I do this?

Code:

  <apex:commandButton value="Submit" action="{!save}" styleClass="btn btn-default" rerender="error,styledError,unstyledError"/> 

EDIT: I would like it redirect to my own custom detail page, which means I must also pass the ID of the record as a paramater

Answer 1

If you have control over the button/link that is calling the edit page, you can set the saveURL/retURL parameter to control where the page returns to after the "Save" button is clicked. If the page is being called from the standard page, then you could create a custom button and set the parameter in the URL that way. Examples shown here.

Answer 2

public PageReference save() {
    // Add the account to the database. 
    insert account;
    // Send the user to the detail page for the new account.
   // You can set your return url here
    PageReference acctPage = new ApexPages.StandardController(account).view();
    acctPage.setRedirect(true);
    return acctPage;
}
