Editor mode

Hi,

 

I am following this tutorial - http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_quick_start_hello_world.htm

 

I don't seem to be able to find create page link and page editor at the footer of the page.

 

I am on enterprise edition and I had the developer mode enabled.

 

Please can someone help?

 

Thanks,

In a production org you may not be able to author apex and visualforce directly.  You can do it in the sandbox and ship it over.  Or use Eclipse to do the coding.

The toolbar does not appear on all pages--only on those which have an editable Visualforce component, so the problem could be that you're not actually looking at a page which you can edit. To create a new page:

 

Clear the address bar down to https://na7.salesforce.com/

and then append: apex/yourPage

 

ex, to create a page called helloworld: https://na7.salesforce.com/apex/helloworld

 

When you navigate to that page (assuming it doesn't yet exist), you'll get "page helloworld does not exist," and right below it a link to create it. Once you click that link, you should be redirected to a page with the toolbar enabled.

 

Hope this helps

Hi dwwright

 

Many thanks for your reply. 

 

I get as far as "page helloworld does not exist," but then I couldn't find any create link anywhere on the page.

 

Am I missing something?

Tin013,

double check that you have development mode on, and that you have sufficient priveleges to create a new page on your Org. As long as you do, your screen should look like this:

Hi there,

 

Thanks for your reply. I double checked to see that the development mode is on but still no joy. For some wierd reasons I still can't see the link and the page editor.

What browser do you use? Google Chrome?

Thanks.

 

That must be the reason why. I was working on the production org.

Hi all,

 

I figured out that the Editor mode actually works on both org and sandbox as long as you are not on Chrome.

 

 

Cheers
