Birthdate is a default Date field that comes with SFDC and allows for view criteria like 'TODAY,THIS MONTH' which is very handy to 'View All Birthdays this Month'. We've added a custom Date field called Anniversary which we would like to do view the same data based on the same criteria: 'TODAY,THIS MONTH' to 'View All Anniversaries this Month' but it seems we're only able to view Anniversaries THIS MONTH and in the current year (years != current will not show up).

Is there a way to get around this to get the same functionality for views for the 'View All Birthdays this Month'?

I was surfing my RSS reader and found this entry in the Sforce blog about the Data Loader.

While I don't have a need for it at the moment something caught my eye:

"You can also consider using the Sforce Data Loader since it: ... Bypasses the writing to the recent items list"

Benji/Simon/Dave... Is this an Sforce 6.0 feature, or something undocumented in 5.0? (If the latter mind spilling the beans?

(Side Note: If it's an Sforce 6.0 feature it would help explain why it's not going to be released until Summer '05 is out, for those wondering that...)

hi

can you point me to any help files / samples where client side JavaScript has been used within an Scontrol?

best practices, etc

thanks

hi,
I'm trying to update records from PHP using the PEAR SOAP stuff, and I'm getting java.lang.NumFormatException s returned when i try to update date fields. My dates are in YYYY-MM-DD format, I believe it is because the value is a string.
I'm not aware that it is possible to send a value such as that in PHP without using a string, am I missing something here?

thanks

Does anyone know how to call update() for more than one object at a time (using WebService_sforceService_Soal.php)? Here is the code I have for updating one record:
     $client = new SalesforceClient($SESSION);
     $client->_endpoint = $_COOKIE['sf_endpoint'];
    
     $myFields = array('type'=>'lead', 'Id'=>'00S20000007k888AAA', 'Company'=>'testCo');
     $result = $client->update($myFields);

This code works perfectly, but I cannot figure out how to pass more than one "sObject" (php array) to it. My first guess was to make $myFields an array of arrays, but that didn't work. Then I tried just adding more and more key/value pairs to the $myFields array ('type'=>'lead', 'Id'=>'00S20000007k888AAA', 'Company'=>'testCo1', 'type'=>'lead', 'Id'=>'00S20000007k9999BB', 'Company'=>'testCo2', etc. etc.) but that didn't work either.

Thanks for any help you can provide (I really don't want to make multiple calls to the update function).
