I want to save the fields BillingAddress, ShippingAddress and a custom field "FiscalAddress"

I understand that the API only have BillingAddress and ShippingAddress and I need one more.

I want insert in database (SOQL) but the logic of my script is wrong.

What corrections you should do to insert the input text fields in the Account table?

error console:

<apex:inputField> value binding '{!a.BillingStreet}'. <apex:inputField> can only be used with SObjects, or objects that are Visualforce field component resolvable.

Markup

<apex:page Controller="CustomAccount" >
    <apex:form >

        <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Contact">

            <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">

You'll need to create the fields in Setup first (Setup > Customize > Accounts > Fields or Setup > Object Manager > Account > Fields & Relationships). Once you do so, you can write your page using the StandardController:

<apex:page standardController="Account">
  <apex:form>
    <apex:pageBlock>
      <apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:inputField value="{!Account.BillingStreet}" />
        ... other fields ...
        <apex:inputField value="{!Account.FiscalStreet__c}" />
        ... other fields ...
      </apex:pageBlockSection>
      <apex:pageBlockButtons>
        <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" />
      </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Note that Custom Fields that you create end in __c (as demonstrated in the code). You'll want to also read about Display Field Values with Visualforce.

  • thank you so much but my class "CustomAccount" it's correct? for query insert Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 2:06
  • @Apu There's no such thing as a "query insert" in Salesforce. DML operations and Query statements are two entirely separate concepts. As I stated, you must first create any custom fields you need, then you can reference them in your Visualforce code. In addition, if you're getting an error for a standard field, it is likely that you have another class that is overriding the standard Account object, which won't work. Start from my example to see what I'm talking about. Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 2:13
  • Hi, I added the new version of the apex page. the page is displayed correctly but does not save the data in the database. the logic of my class CustomAccount Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 7:21
  • @Apu What error messages are you getting, if any? Try adding <apex:pageMessages/> somewhere in your VF page to see if you get any errors. Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 9:51
  • I had to add Account.name. thanks for the advice of the label <apex:pageMessages/> Commented Mar 11, 2019 at 17:35
