    }

 

In the Org I'm currently working with, they have Person-Accounts enabled.

 

In Person-Accounts, "email" is a valid field in the Account object.  I've been able to use the email field in Page layouts, and update the field via the standard UI -- but I am unable to query or write to the field in Apex.

 

Instead, I get an error message that "email" is not a recognized field for the Account object:

 

 

Is there a method for accessing the "email" field on Person-Accounts?

Is there a way to populate a Multi-Picklist from a query when the page layout is rendered?

 

Thank you,

I had a problem with a page not showing, and it turns out that my mistake was how I declared the page template. 

 

I had: <apex:composition template="{!$Page.SiteTemplate}">

 

But I should have had: <apex:composition template="{!$Site.Template}">

 

Don't make my mistake!  Page.SiteTemplate is visible from inside the app, but not from the Site.  Site.Template, however, is visible inside and outside.

I noticed that in Page.SiteRegisterConfirm, there is a line <c:SiteFooter /> but in Page.SiteTemplate there is also <c:SiteFooter />.

 

It seems to me that the one in Page.SiteRegisterConfirm is extraneous, as the page already has a reference to  <apex:composition template="{!$Site.Template}">.

 

Am I missing something?  If not, I'm going to delete all SiteFooter references from the pages themselves and allow the site template to handle that.

 

What does everyone think?

All- I may have found a bug in the "inline visualforce in page layouts" feature.  Please read what I did and try to reproduce the error.  Thank you.

 

1. Make VF page with the following code: 

   <apex:page standardController="Account">
   <h1>Congratulations</h1>
   </apex:page>

2. Put it in an Account page layout
3. Change the VF standardController to "Contact" - DO NOT remove it from the page layout first
4. View an Account - note that the inline VF page displays correctly
5. Edit the Account page layout - I did it from the Setup menu and from the "Edit Layout" link
6. Note that the layout editor hangs with a yellow "Loading..." status
7. Change the VF standardController back to "Account"
8. Verify that the page layout editor works properly

Though this is something that no smart admin would do (please don't ask how I found this), we should account for any usage of the tool.

Can others reproduce this behavior? 

 

Thanks,

David

I have this trigger to copy the new owner's last name to the Account site (using standard fields instead of custom ones for simplicity):

 

trigger accountOwnerSalesID on Account (before insert, before update) {
Set<ID> UserIDs = new Set<ID>();
for(Account a : Trigger.New){
UserIDs.add(a.OwnerId);
}
map<ID, String> usermap = new map<ID, String>();
for (User u:[SELECT id, LastName FROM User WHERE id in: UserIDs]){
usermap.put(u.id, u.LastName);
}
for(Account acct: Trigger.New){
acct.Site = usermap.get(acct.OwnerID);
}
}

 And my test code:

 

@isTest
private class testAccountOwnerSalesID {
static testMethod void myUnitTest() {
ID runningID = UserInfo.getUserID();
system.debug(string.valueof(runningID));
User ouruser = [SELECT id, LastName FROM User WHERE id =: runningID LIMIT 1];
String userlastname = ouruser.LastName;
system.debug('userlastname: ' + userlastname);
Account acct = new Account(name='acct1');
insert acct;
system.debug('acct site: '+ acct.Site);
system.assertequals(userlastname, acct.Site);
update acct;
system.debug('acct site: '+ acct.Site);
system.assertequals(userlastname, acct.Site);
}
}

But my assertequals statements fail.  The system says that the Site is null.  But when I create & update an Account in the UI, it works flawlessly for both.

What am I missing?

 

Thanks

 

 

Hi all - I'm experimenting with using Components as data editors.

 

Use case:

1. In the detail (view) page layout for a Contact, show a component with its own save button.  (This is sorta like inline editing.)

2. Allow the component to display and edit any phone field on the object.  So, for instance, it could show HomePhone, OtherPhone, etc.

 

Do I need to pass the field value as a string {!Contact.HomePhone} AND pass the field name "Contact.HomePhone" so it can not only display the value, but also write to the Contact?

 

It looks like I may also need to change the attribute (string 'Contact.HomePhone') to a field so I can type 

Contact.HomePhone = '(212) 555-1212';

Any advice on doing that? It seems I may need to do a describe, and then get the field token.

 

Thanks,

David

I've got a trigger that is so simple that I can't find a reason why it wouldn't work - and the debug statements show the proper values - but nothing happens when I save the account:

 

 

trigger accountFillSite on Account (before insert, before update) { for (Account a: [select id, Site, BillingCity, BillingState FROM Account WHERE id IN :Trigger.New]){ System.Debug('Account Site is ' + a.Site + ' City: '+a.BillingCity+' State: '+a.BillingState); a.Site = a.BillingCity + ', ' + a.BillingState; system.debug('a.Site: '+a.Site); } }

I'm baffled as to why this won't work. 

At this point, I'm less concerned with whether or not I'm using proper technique, and more concerned with it working on one record at a time.  I edit the record, and click Save. 

All field permissions are set appropriately.  Debug logs show all values set properly.  Even the last debug line, a.Site, shows the expected value.

Thanks,

David

I followed the instructions to create a report that pulls in the Company Name as a parameter. The report works fine, except for companies that end in ", Inc." or ", LLC", etc.

 

For some reason, the parameter removes the space between the comma and "Inc", so that no results are returned. Any ideas on how to correct this?

 

Thanks.

I'm trying to use sites to post a web-to-lead form for tradeshows.  I'm using the HTML generated by Salesforce, with some additional coding to make it look nice.  I tried posting on Sites, but the editor keeps giving me error messages.  I corrected most of them, but the editor does not like my <input> html tags. 

 

Is there no way to use html web coding in Sites?  I have not worked at all with Apex/Visualforce.

 

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

 

I have 2 picklists on Account. One is "Industry" -- controlling field, the other is "Sector" -- dependent field.

For example,

 

When I choose "IT" for Industry, the Sector will show Database, CRM sys, NetWork etc.

When I choose "Education" for Industry, the Sector will show something .....

all those above are set up in field definition in Setup.

 

I wonder whether there is a way to get their relationship. I mean I hope Apex can help  show which picklist value in industry controlls which values in Sector.

 

 

Thanks

 

Any idea will be goooooooooooooooooooood!!

Hi -

 

I am looking for the fastest way possible to mass delete all records for a given custom object. I developed a very simple Batch Apex class which is described below.  The code works but it performs very slowly. Yesterday it took 40 minutes to delete 34,000 records, although I did not run into any governor limits.  It seems that the execute() call is only receiving a few records at a time.  Is there any way to coax it to process large groups of records?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

global class MassDeleteCustomObject implements Database.Batchable<Sobject>

{

  global final String query = 'select Id from <my custom object>';

 

  global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC)

  {

 

       return Database.getQueryLocator(query);

  }

 

    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<Sobject> records)

   {

        delete records;

   }

 

  global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC)

  {

  }

 

}

How do I add this to my page layout? I want to be able to create a custom button or link on the contact page layout so that when I click it, it brings up all the related activities for that contact record using the query below. When I try to select this in the page layout nothing shows up under content. How can I select the vf page i created?

 

 

 

 

<apex:page controller="ActivityController">
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Activities}" var="a">
<apex:column value="{!a.subject}"/>
<apex:column value="{!a.type}"/>
<apex:column value="{!a.ownerid}"/>
<apex:column value="{!a.whoid}"/>
<apex:column value="{!a.whatid}"/>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

public class ActivityController
{

    public Event[] getActivities()
    {
 
       list<Event> lstEvent = [Select id, subject,whatid, whoid, type, activitydate,ownerid from Event where id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('whoid')];
       return lstEvent;
    }
 
}

 The trigger below gets the days between the created date and actvity date and puts the results in the day_count__C field. However, my test method below is still at 0%. Any help would be grealy appreciated.

 

trigger Event_Before_Insert on Event (before update)
    {
    	
       for( Event currentEvent : Trigger.new )
        {
        datetime CreatedDate =CurrentEvent.CreatedDate;
        date ActivityDate =CurrentEvent.ActivityDate;

        date createdDateTemp = date.newInstance(CreatedDate.year(),CreatedDate.month(),CreatedDate.day());
        Integer numberofDays = createdDateTemp.daysBetween(ActivityDate);
       
         CurrentEvent.Day_Count__c = numberofDays;

       } 
      
}

 

 

 

The test method below keeps saying 0 percent.

 

 

 

 

            Event ev48 = new Event(Subject = 'Test', Type= 'Other', Meeting_Status__c = 'Pending',ActivityDate =Date.today(),WhoId = cont.Id );
			try {
			insert ev48;
			}
			catch(DmlException e) {
			System.debug(e.getMessage());
			} 
			ev48.day_count__c= 0;
			update ev48;

 
                           
                                            
                                
    }

 

I am just starting out with Visual Force, but want to make sure I handle localization appropriately. I created a very simple VF example below, where I'm trying to redefine the Account home tab.

 

I'm hoping someone can show me how to access "standard" SFDC text values so that I do not have to create "Custom Labels" to  handle localization. I am not talking about standard object field names, because you can see below I can access localize fields without issue. I want to access text values that SFDC has already localized in their application ... i.e. View, Home, Go!, Search, Setup, Help, Logout, etc.  Not that I need all of these, but if I want to put the text "Home" on my VF page, why not leverage what SFDC has already localized?

 

You can see in my example below, the items highlighted in "Red" I created as "Custom Labels" and the "Go!" value is just hard-coded.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="accounts">
<apex:sectionHeader title="{!$ObjectType.Account.Label}" subtitle="{!$Label.Home}" />
<apex:form >
<apex:outputLabel >
<b>{!$Label.View}:</b>
</apex:outputLabel>
<apex:selectList value="{!filterid}" size="1">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!listviewoptions}"/>
</apex:selectList>
<apex:commandButton value="Go!" action="{!list}"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

 

Is it possible to write a class that extends a custom VF controller, and then use the new class as the controller for a page?  Can I extend a class that is itself an extension of a standard controller, as opposed to a fully-custom controller?

 

It's the latter that I'm trying to do right now.

 

I tried creating an extension.  I added the "virtual" keyword to my existing controller, then defined a new child class something like so:

 

public class CTRL_CustomWizard extends CTRL_FooWizard {

 

 but I get the error "Parent class has no 0-argument constructor for implicit construction"

 

 

 Does this mean I can't do it, or do I need to do something else?  The constructor in the parent class can't have no arguments, because it's an extension of a standard controller, so the constructor is defined like:

 

public CTRL_FooWizard (ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

 

Thanks much!

 

I have a few once active approval process that, when deactivated, I cannot delete.  Is there a way to delete these old approval processes or are they going to be stuck in my salesforce org forever?  I've tried removing the records that have approval history but with no success.

 

Any help would be appreciated on this.

Whe I convert a lead to a contact, the email address default to work.  Is there a way to have it default to home?
