Hi,

 

We have an application that should have the certified apex permission so that a PE user can run apex. But we just had a customer pay and fail on their PE trial org.They get the standard class feature not available error:

 

 

Missing featureApex ClassesInstalling this package requires the following feature and its associated permissions: Apex Classes

 

Does anyone have ideas of what to try next? We've opened a ticket but nobody has responded yet and they already paid and are waiting. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I have a custom field on std objects that we need to modify but can't. They are flagged as being a unique ID from other data source, but then t hit another silly limit on the number of unique ID fields.

 

I can't find a way to delete the field and start over, and I can't uncheck the box saying unique field.

 

Can anyone help to modify either setting so our customers can install without the silly limit restrictions?

 

Thanks!

We have a customer trying to install our managed package (aloha app). They have a group edition, but our app should be able to run in GE/PE because of the aloha flags. We have a dashboard in the app, and the user is getting this error on install:

 

Package install error
There are problems that prevent this package from being installed.

Missing feature Dashboards      Installing this package requires the following feature and its associated permissions: Dashboards

 

But they do have the dashboards enabled in their org. Does anyone know where to look for this or is there any way to remove the dashboard from our managed package? I could not see an option to remove under the create->packages setup.

 

Thanks!

I installed an app on the platform edition and had the hardest time figuring out why the free user could not see it. I solved the issue by modifying the profile to manually allow VF page access to the pages in the package.

 

If the profile has an app as the default, shouldn't it by default have permission to all of the VF pages in that package? Sure makes it harder to deploy an app that way.

 

Is this intended or a bug?

 

Thanks!

We sell a managed package that adds custom fields to contacts, leads, and accounts. We have a customer that enabled S2S and the accounts and contacts tabs would not work until they removed our app.

 

I don't know if they tried to share our custom fields or not. But as long as they don't try to share our custom field, should this work as intended or has anyone at SFDC ever tested S2S when running a licensed app? 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

If I create a custom component, is there any way to update a value on the parent controller? Let's say as a parameter passed into the custom component, I gave a value like {!value}. Can the controller behind the custom component modify that variable that's on the main page's custom controller? In java you might do this with a shared bean or session variable. What about in apex?

 

I have several VF tabs on my page. Each tab is a different business function. I end up re-using code on multiple VF pages so it would be great to make each tab a component so I can re-use thm elsewhere.  Right now it's monolithic. But a link on one tab may cause the VF page to jump you to another tab and use a commandlink parameter.

 

So if we were to break this up into custom components, we would need to somehow pass data between them. Is that possible somehow? It looks like variables only flow one way or maybe we just don't know how to do it?

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you,

I'm trying to do something very simple. I have a custom object with a number value:

 

object.field = 50.

 

 

I want to make a dashboard gauge that shows that value.

 

But every time I try to make a report, it shows the number of records...always 1 for me. Is there a way to have the gauge chart show the value, not the number of records?

 

If so, how?

 

Thanks!

DSL

I was trying the google viz code and could make a pie chart. But I couldn't figure out how to generate the corrent json string to make a Gauge.

 

Has anyone made a gauge before and could share a snippet of how to define the googleviz rows and cells to make it draw? I'm trying to put 2 or 3 together.

 

Thanks!

I know the silly rules about one managed package per DE and all.

 

But if I get 2 DE accounts and each upload, can they share the same one publisher listing on the app exchange? If so, how do you get the managed package from DE2 into the publisher login for DE1.Do we really have to maintain multiple publisher logins on the appexchange as well?

 

Thanks,

The upgrade of one of our existing packages failed until I added a user license to the package for the user who runs the install.

 

Even when he is a system administrator this seems to be necessary. The admin is not necessarily one of the users of our application.

 

Is it true that you need an assigned license to upgrade a package ?

I never noticed that and may need to document this for our customers.

 

Maybe this can be shown to the user before starting the install instead of sending a cryptic "Install failed..." email.

 

Thanks.

I opened a case for this one but it seems like partner portal cases are just a black hole. Anyone have a better place for package/appexchange cases? Maybe old-fashioned email?

 

This one really screams of a bug but maybe someone here has an idea. We released a managed package that worked in all editions, even PE. We then started building and linked in the Campaign object. We were about to publish but DID NOT when we saw the campaign in there. (won't work in PE) 

 

So we unwound all of the code and made a custom object to use instead of campaign. This all worked great except for one piece. For some reason Campaign is still required. It is included in a dependency on our VF page. Not the controller, the actual VF page.

 

Now how a VF page could ever require a Campaign feature is beyond me. I know it USED to reference campaign objects the controller. But those were removed and relinked to a custom object. But it seems like something in the dependency checker did not "re-check" correctly. A VF page can't require any feature as far as I know since it only references the custom controller or static resources (CSS/JS).

 

Any thoughts on where to go? I have several PE customers waiting to buy and one that already bought!

 

Thanks!

Ok, so here is it. 

  • I have a customer who installed a trial version of a managed package into their sandbox. 
  • Our LMA does not show a license record for that new installation.
  • We have a workflow that sends out an automated email to the customer when the package is about to expire based on the LMA's License Record's Expiration field.  They got that message.  How did that happen if the record never existed?
  • Problem: Customer needs an extension of the trial period.  How can I extend the trial period if the LMA record does not exist?

 

What is the reason that the install into the sandbox does not show in the LMA?

Will it actually expire in the sandbox? (maybe this answers the question above?)

If it will expire, how do I extend it if I can't see it in the LMA?

 

I have used the Data Explorer to see if there are more records there than the web interface is displaying, but I didn't see anything.

 

Ideas? Answers?

 

Thanks Much.

During the last 3-4 months, outlook crashes when I send an email/add to sf. It does restart, but I would like to know how to address. Help!
