okmi Apex Values in Customer Portal Header?
I'm just starting out in SF, and don't have a lot of development experience. We have a customer portal that was recently developed, and I need to tweak it a bit to output the current user's main account name in the header of the portal. As far as I can tell I can only upload a static HTML file via the Documents section of our instance. Is that correct? How would I pull in a dynamic value to that section of our portal?
Yocan create a visual force page and wraps the page in an iframe :
<IFRAME height=120 src="/apex/HOC__Home_Page_Dashboard" frameBorder=0 width=170></IFRAME>
where Home_Page_Dashboard is the visual force page. Put that iframe in home page sidebar components. In apex page you can use SOQL to access the current user's account name :
user u =[select id,contactid where id=:userinfo.getuserid() ];
contact con = [select id,account.name from contact where id=:u.contactid];
Hope this helps.
