Force.com Sites was announced last week at Dreamforce ‘08 and what a game changing announcement it was. Here’s my foray into Sites development, with nifty sample code (please note the table of opportunity data below is a live Salesforce.com Visualforce page from my development environment embedded into this post):
Controller
public class OpportunityList_Controller {
public class MyOpportunity {
Opportunity o;
public MyOpportunity(Opportunity opp) { o = opp; }
public Opportunity getOpportunity(){ return o; }
public String getColor() {
if (o.Probability < 25) return '#2A73F0';
else if (o.Probability >= 25 &amp;&amp; o.Probability <= 75) return '#E0B60D';
else if (o.Probability > 75) return '#FF0000';
else return '#000000';
}
}
public List<MyOpportunity> results = new List<MyOpportunity>{};
public List<MyOpportunity> getOpportunities() {
results.clear();
for (Opportunity o : [Select Id, Name, StageName, Closedate, Probability
From Opportunity where StageName != 'Closed Won' order by Name limit 20]) {
results.add(new MyOpportunity(o));
}
return results;
}
}
Visualforce Page
<apex:page controller="OpportunityList_Controller"
tabStyle="Opportunity" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" >
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="" id="pageBlock">
<apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!opportunities}" var="o"
rendered="{!NOT(ISNULL(opportunities))}">
<apex:column >
<apex:facet name="header">Opportunity Name</apex:facet>
<div style="color:{!o.color};font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;cursor:hand;cursor:pointer;">
{!o.Opportunity.Name}
</div>
</apex:column>
<apex:column value="{!o.Opportunity.Probability}"></apex:column>
<apex:column value="{!o.Opportunity.StageName}"></apex:column>
<apex:column value="{!o.Opportunity.CloseDate}"></apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Great code, Joe. I particularly like that you used multiple colors. I wonder if one could pass values to the controller through using a Visualforce component, letting the user choose what each of the colors would be. Think it’s possible?

@David: I’m sure it can be done; I’ll give it a whirl this weekend.
