I have a small Site that has been deployed for a year or so with read/write access to a single custom object. I recently added a new field to the object and one of the VF pages, and modified the behavior of the page to be more responsive. I granted access to the field to the Guest User profile and the page works fine from apex/pageName when I do my initial testing.

Visitors are directed to the site via email/sms links that we send out.

The updated page is not the initial landing page [InventoryPortalWelcome, as indicated below]; I do some validation of the URL parameters first, and if they're in good order the visitor is redirected to the updated page. When I test the email links from the sandbox, however, the site displays the 'Under Construction' page instead. The Site page (screenshot) below is from the sandbox.

Where do I look to determine what's preventing the updated Site from performing/appearing correctly?

  • What happens when you visit the VisualForce Page outside the Site context?

  • The new page loads correctly - InventoryPortalWelcome does not display anything; it's only purpose is validation, and then the updated page/form loads. Hmm ... I have been accessing the updated page directly, not going to the validation page first -- I'll do that now.

  • That's my story and I'm sticking to it -- referencing apex/InventoryPortalWelcome?pi=parameter does the validation and displays correctly.

  • Are you sure the Site can access whatever page you redirect to? Maybe it's permissions got messed up somehow.

  • The page is listed in the Site VisualForce Pages list; nothing changed there.

As it turns out, I added a toggle in my email/SMS code based on whether we're in the sandbox or not, and in the sandbox URL I had the Site location right, but left out the Path. Not sure why, since it's right there on the Production branch of the IF() statement...

Just goes to show me for allowing my customers to make changes... Thanks Adrian, Jason for responding so quickly!
