Hi,

I tried launching the Apex Data Loader (22.0) as I would normally when I need to export object data but it's not doing anything. I then unistalled and downloaded the latest version from SFDC and installed it. I attempted to launch it again but it's not doing anything - not even throw any error.

Appreciate if someone can provide some assistance as I need to use it.

Thanks and regards,

Maidy

Hi,

Our users would like for the VF page their using load instantaneously upon selecting an answer option for a record within their checklist.

I would highly appreciate if anyone can help me in this end as I am new to apex/visualforce development and have tried looking for answers through the discussion board but am still struggling to implement this performance improvement request.

Visualforce Page Code:

<apex:page StandardController="Checklist_Item__c" extensions="CollectChecklistItemsExtension" recordSetvar="ChecklistItems" sidebar="false">

Hi,

I am new at using triggers but it seems its the only way I can populate Account custom fields with information from the User object.

I have successfully saved the following trigger in Sandbox and it doesn't seem to update my 2 custom fields. Appreciate the help.

Also, I have learned that to deploy this in our production I will need Eclipse which will require some test case to run. Will the test method have to be on a separate file? If yes, how do I associate them to make sure that the test method is run with the right trigger? Many thanks for the anticipated assistance.

trigger updateOwnerProfile on Account (before insert, before update) {
  Set<Id> AcctOwnerId = new Set<Id>();
  for (Account a:Trigger.new)
    AcctOwnerId.add(a.ownerid); 
      
  Map<Id,User> OwnerProfile = new Map<Id,User>(
    [SELECT id, title, phone FROM user 
     WHERE id = :AcctOwnerId]);
       
  for (Account a:Trigger.new)  
    if(String.valueOf(a.ownerid).substring(0,3)=='00G'){
      a.Account_Owner_Title__c = OwnerProfile.get(a.ownerid).title;
      a.Account_Owner_Phone__c = OwnerProfile.get(a.ownerid).phone;
    }

Hi,

One of our user groups is using a custom VF page to consolidate their field work information in a form of a survey.

The problem with the existing VF page they are using is that it takes ages to load the default issue and action information for the option they have selected for a question item.

I am relatively new to Salesforce and was asked to look into and address this performance issue. 

Appreciate the help, thanks.

VF Page Code

Hi all,

I have an interesting question.  Has anyone found a way of improving speed of the AJAX requests contained within Visualforce pages?

We have built a large number of VF pages and it takes between one a three seconds for the action methods contained within links, buttons and action support tags to complete and to re-render the page.

This normally isn't a problem on single row input forms.  However we have started to use multi line input forms for updating and editing large quantities of data.  This means that we have to wait for the action to complete before changing the value in the subsequent fields.

Maybe I'm just being impatient as I'm relatively new to AJAX but it seems to me that other AJAX sites I have used respond much quicker. 

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts / comments.
