Dealing with Record Types in a way that will load to Appexchange
Winter '07 added some validation on the upload of Appexchange packages
that affected some of my code. Any S-Controls that had explicit
references to Record Type Ids wouldn't load to the Appexchange. I would often write code like this:
var PurchaseRecordTypeId = "0000000000fff55";
When I needed this code in another instance, I would Appexchange it, install it, and then change the hard-coded reference.
Here's more elegant code that gets Record Type Ids dynamically, and doesn't trip the Appexchange validator:
I'd love to hear feedback if you have suggestions on how this code could do the job better.
Enjoy!

var DonationLabel = "Gift";
var MembershipLabel = "Membership";
var DonationRecordType = oOppRecordTypes[DonationLabel].Id;

function getRecrodTypesforObjects(ObjectName) {
var RecordTypesArray = new Array();
sfc = sforce.connection;
var result = sfc.query("Select r.Id, r.Name, r.SobjectType from
RecordType r where r.IsActive=true and r.SobjectType='"+ ObjectName +"'");
var RecordTypesArray = result.getArray("records");
oRecordTypes = new Object();
for (var i=0;i<RecordTypesArray.length;i++) {
var oSingleRecordType = new Object();
oSingleRecordType.Name=RecordTypesArray[i].Name;
oSingleRecordType.Id=RecordTypesArray[i].Id;
oRecordTypes[RecordTypesArray[i].Name]=oSingleRecordType;
}
return oRecordTypes;

Thanks.
