Anonymouse VisualForce Page Error Argument Cannot Be Null
Hello,
I'm currently implementing a box.com (similar to dropbox or google drive) file upload setup with Salesforce. Fortunately, there's an app on AppExchange and some instructions on how to implement it in Salesforce.
The client says they want it on each object and custom object page layout.
The box.com instructions have the following code (I replaced the generic object name with "Task" for this case):
The visualforce page name is: Task_Box_Section.vfp
"Argument cannot be null. An unexpected error has occurred. Your solution provider has been notified. (box)"
May you please assist?
Sincerely,
Jackie

<apex:page standardController="Task"
extensions="box.DisplayWidget"
showheader="false"
sidebar="false"
action="{!GetLoginToken}">
<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.box__BoxEmbed, 'BoxEmbed/style.css')}"/>
<apex:iframe src="/apex/box__BOXSection?id={!Task.Id}¶m=Task_Box_Section"
rendered="{!DisplayBoxSection}"/>
<apex:iframe src="{!folderShareLink}"
rendered="{!DisplayBoxWidget}"
width="100%"
height="100%"
frameborder="0"
scrolling="NO"/>
</apex:page>
Do you see anything that I'm doing wrong ? It's supposed to show up a file upload section, but nothing shows up and there's an error instead."Argument cannot be null. An unexpected error has occurred. Your solution provider has been notified. (box)"
May you please assist?

Did you create the folderId field on the task object.
I followed the steps that were mentioned in the Guide and i got this page. Apparently i need to setup an account for the whole thing to get done but i guess the Argument Cannot Be Null is gone for me.
Here is the Code that i followed after i created the folderId field.
<apex:page standardController="Task" extensions="box.DisplayWidget" showheader="false" sidebar="false" action="{!GetLoginToken}"> <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.box__BoxEmbed, 'BoxEmbed/style.css')}"/> <apex:iframe src="/apex/box__BOXSection?id={!Task.Id}¶m=TaskBox" rendered="{!DisplayBoxSection}"/> <apex:iframe src="{!folderShareLink}" rendered="{!DisplayBoxWidget}" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="NO"/> </apex:page>
Please note as i named my VF page as "TaskBox", i passed "param=TaskBox".

I could not dive much into the detail but for standard objects(Task is a std. Object) they have mentioned just to create a section in page layout and add the VF page as per the std. object. i am not completely sure if it will be of any help but worth a try.
Please refer this link.

Thank you for your reply. I'm afraid I already tried that. I'm trying to do step #7:
7. Add the newly-created Visual Force Page to the Page Layout:
1. From the Lead Layout menu, click Visualforce Pages.
2. Drag [object_name]BoxSection into your newly created Section.
3. Click the wrench on the [object_name]BoxSection Visualforce page.
4. Set the height to 600 pixels (minimum) for best viewing.
5. Save the page layout.
I'm getting errors when I try to do this.

Jackie

Were you able to resolve the issue ?
Thank you for all your assistance. Yes, I was able to resolve the issue. It turned out that the Box.com managed package did not have Visualforce pages for all of the standard default Salesforce objects. Fortunately, it turns out I will no longer need it for Tasks. So, I have skipped it for that object, but it looks like the assistance provided earlier works for the other objects.
Sincerely,
Jackie
