Salesforce Asked by Marc Rioux on December 14, 2021
Hello everyone I am trying to get my visualforce email template to work this component is used on the Opportunity and Contact Objects. Both email templates are showing the
Error occurred trying to load the template for preview: Attempt to
de-reference a null object. Please try editing your markup to correct
the problem.
But it still works fine on the opportunity object but not on the contact object.
Here is my Controller:
public class ClosingActivitiesController2 {
public list<Closings.ClosingActivity> closings;
public String contactId {get; set;}
public String idStr {get; set;}
public ClosingActivitiesController2() {
// can't use passed ID here because it doesn't get set by the component until after instantiation
}
public list<closings.ClosingActivity> getClosingActivity() {
Id passedID = idStr ;
Closings closings = new Closings();
// return closings.selectClosingActivity(passedID);
if(passedId.getSobjectType() == Schema.Contact.SObjectType) {
return closings.selectClosingActivityByContact(passedID);
} else {
return closings.selectClosingActivityByOpportunity(passedID);
}
}
}
And Here is my VF Component:
<apex:component controller="ClosingActivitiesController2" access="global">

Your general problem has to do with how the Email template editor interacts with you template and included custom component
There are two use cases:
Initial display of the Email template detail page
here, the value of the passed attribute to the component
<c:ClosingActivity relatedToID="{!Recipient.Id}
is null. Hence,in the custom component's controller public String idStr {get; set;} will have a value of null. There is no way around this. You have to code for this use case in the component's controller. As an aside, you should be passing attributes of type ID, not String.
In your case, you need to adapt your method
public list<closings.ClosingActivity> getClosingActivity() {
Id passedID = idStr ; // idStr is unnecessary, let component set passedId
Closings closings = new Closings();
if (passedId == null)
return new List<Closings.ClosingActivity>();
else
if(passedId.getSobjectType() == Schema.Contact.SObjectType) {
return closings.selectClosingActivityByContact(passedID);
} else {
return closings.selectClosingActivityByOpportunity(passedID);
}
}
Email Template Preview/test
here, the value of the passed attribute to the component
<c:ClosingActivity relatedToID="{!Recipient.Id}
will have a value because the dialog prompts you to enter a relatedTo and a recipient

Please change this line of code in VF template:
From
<c:ClosingActivity relatedToID="{!Recipient.Id}"/>
To
<c:ClosingActivity relatedToID="{!relatedTo.Id}"/>

Please add a debug statement in your constructor of class and confirm whether the Value is NULL.
System.Debug('ID**** ' + idStr );
Please make sure you pass the value from VF template into Component for attribute called "relatedToID".
