WebLinks In Force.Com IDE Not Displaying Home Page Component Custom Links

Hello,

 

I am currently in the process of trying to data remedaite URL's within our SFDC environment.  Using the Force.com IDE I thought I would be able to search within WebLinks or Components to find and replace the links I need to change.

I note there are links on my Home Page Components > Custom Links which do not appear within the "weblinks" or "components" in my Force.Com IDE.  Do you know where these would be stored therefore within the IDE?  I want to make sure I do not miss any links in my environment which i need changing.  Should Custom Links not exist within WebLinks?

 

Thanks in advance.

In setup menu, custom links are in Customize > Home > Custom Links, and it's home page custom components which you see in Customize > Home > Home Page Components.

So, by any chance do you mean not custom links but home page custom components? If so, they are in homePageComponents folder in the IDE.

Hi,

Usually Custom Links are stored in 'weblinks' node.

Are you sure you selected those components to be synced after you created them?

If not, see 'Project Synchronization' section in the following article.

Hi nylon, thanks for the feedback. Yes I chose to synch the components after selecting them. I will look into this further to determine if the problem continues.

Hello,  On checking this again the same problem occurs. The Custom Links in the home page do not appear in the weblinks which I have refreshed from the server.  I wonder if they appear in a different category under the IDE?
