Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to submit a record for approval using a custom button?  I would like to create three different approval processes where each approval process would have it's own custom submission button.

Each approval process would have the same entry criteria. Depending on which approval button the users clicks that record would be submitted for approval using the approval process tied to that particular custom approval button.

So instead of having just a single "Submit for Approval" button there would be three different buttons that the users could click to kickoff an approval process.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi,

i have a visualforce page and i am using Apex:InputFile  for uploading Image file(this image file will be stored in notes and attachments under a custom object record)   .

i have a pageblock table where the user can manualy add records . once the user click submit button, the image file name will be stored in a particular field for all these records.

Table:

222-----------------image2
333-------------image3

Hi All,

I have web tab that points to Opportunities standard object. The URL is http:///006/o?isdtp=vw, and I expected this to mimic Opportunities standard tab. And the page that opens up looks pretty much the same. But, neither New nor New Opportunity buttons don't work. Nothing happens when I click on them. Does anyone know why? Note: creating VF tab that points to Opportunities object works fine with regard to the same buttons. Thank you!

I am trying to create a custom delete button on an objectA which deletes the particular record only if the value in fieldA matches the Role of the logged in user. If it does not match it needs to throw an error. I was trying to use 'OnClick javascript". Can anyone help me wit the code? Thanks!

Hi ,
I have a Contact field on a custom object which has a look up filter to an account (account lookup field on the same custom object). When I update the contact to another contact (belonging to the same account) , I get a message that "Contact is no longer valid with your selections" although the contact does match the filter criteria. It saves successfully though.

This message also occurs when the previous contact is reselected.

Is this a known Salesforce bug?

Thanks in advance!

I can't see system log. Can anybody know about this?

Hi,

The usage numbers my company is seeing from the downloadable Force.com Sites Usage Reporting app (found here: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000001SUEwEAO) are significantly higher (100,000 - 300,000 more page views per month) than those numbers reported by Google Analytics.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm exploring the Google Analytics side to determine if we have any automated tasks running that aren't getting counted as page views in Google Analytics but are counted by Salesforce but am out of my depth.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Hi all,

I experienced this problem recently when I tried deploying a list of Custom labels along with their translations from sandbox to production.

I have created a change set in sandbox including all the Custom lables and uploaded it to the Production environment.
Then I have validated and deployed it in Production environment from Inbound change sets. All the other changes are getting reflected in production but the translations.

For each of the custom labels I have added mulitple translations which are not deployed in the production. The weird part is I already deployed some of the custom labels from sandbox to production for the first time. It went well.

Now the deployment is not updating the translations in the custom labels. Anyone here experienced the same? BTW i'm not using Force.com IDE.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I was wondering if its possible for a report to only look at one specific record rather than a group of records? The report currently loos at 6 'fixtures' when i only want it to look at one. This works if I create the report inside the actual record however i want it to appear on the dashboard. 

Many thanks.

Hello
I am using Data Loadr for the first time to update a small number of records on a Custom object in my Sandbox.  

Initialization is successful but the upsert fails due to a trigger issue I think as i get the following error?

IncidentTrigger_After: execution of AfterInsert

caused by: System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required fields are missing: [LastName]: [LastName]

Trigger.IncidentTrigger_After: line 40, column 1


Can anyone help as to what the issue might be?

 I thought about making the trigger inactive in the sandbox to see if this would help, but I cannot seem to do this.

Thanks

In case someone has the same problem for the future I do believe this is a bug and this is the workaround that I found. 

I had a button that performed a search in a standalone visualforce page and it was working without any issues. From the button I could see it working and refreshing the pageblock and calling the function in the debug logs. I then decided to embed it in a visualforce tab panel and it stopped working - page block would refresh but no reference to my function/system debugs in the debug logs. 
But I found a workaround that works:

My initial button inside the tab panel/tab:
<apex:commandButton styleClass="search-block-button" value="Search" action="{!SearchAccountProspect}" rerender="TablePanelProspect" status="TableUpdateStatus" />

Workaround - instead of using the action and calling the function there you can use the onclick and call a action function inside Visualforce:

<apex:commandButton styleClass="search-block-button" value="Search Prospects" onclick="SearchProspect(); return false;" rerender="TablePanelProspect" status="TableUpdateStatus" />

<apex:actionFunction name="SearchProspect" action="{!SearchAccountProspect}" rerender="TablePanel" status="TableUpdateStatus"/>
(placed just after the apex:form tab - outside the apex:TabPanel tag.

We have requirement to greyout/disable all the dates greater than 5 days in the calender.  As this is not possible in salesforce out-of-box functionality, I am looking for ways to achieve this.  Can anyone help on this?

I have to write a Rest service for retreiving data from salesforce object ??

i have 6-7 filters for that..
which i have to send as parameter ..
Data will be ... name of users... 10-15..
other records details..
what should i use for this Get ot Post ????
please suggest... with advantages of using the one..

Metadata API v29.

When using metadata retrieve() call to retrieve specificFiles e.g. MyClass.cls, MyPage.page or Contact.object system returns correct CreatedDate & LastModifiedDate for code files like MyClass.cls or MyPage.page but not for objects like Contact.object.

retrieve() call for Contact.object (and other objects) always returns current Date/Time instead of the real CreatedDate and LastModifiedDate.
So if I issue retrieve() call for Contact.object twice in a row I will get two different Create and LastModified dates.

Does anyone now a workaround for this?

I work in a Salesforce consultant team and often, when we need to sync objects with an external service, our developpers run in some data consistency problem, governor limit issue and all kind of pretty hard to resolved. 

I wrote an article this morning one way one we solve a customer need, I guess it can be of some help to those of you having simmilar issues : 

Hi all! We've launched some new features here on the forums today - thanks to you all for your feedback on the new site! Here's today's update:

• New "Start a Discussion"  button to make it easier for you to start a new thread (we still strongly encourage you to search the existing topics before you post though as it's very likely your topic has been addressed before!)
• Infinite scroll starts higher up on the page to provide a smoother experience
• Added a "Continue Reading" link on each discussion card
• Fixed a bug affecting the display of dates on some profile pages
• Fixes to how notifications are sent when you like or reply to posts

Our development team is actively working on site enhancements, so please keep the feedback coming!! Let us know what you think of the site and what you'd like to see.

Best,

When I add the "My Email to Salesforce" address to the "additional emails" field of an email alert the email does not get added to the activity history.
I am adding the correct address and the correct record Id of the record to which the email needs to be added.
When I send the email manually through an external email client, it works perfect. But the same is not working through an email alert.

I have 2 sand boxes. It works on one but not on the other. Can anyone throw light on this?

Today we’re excited to announce the new Salesforce Developers Discussion Forums. We’ve listened to your feedback on how we can improve the forums.  With Chatter Answers, built on the Salesforce1 Platform, we were able to implement an entirely new experience, integrated with the rest of the Salesforce Developers site.  By the way, it’s also mobile-friendly.

We’ve migrated all the existing data, including user accounts. You can use the same Salesforce account you’ve always used to login right away.  You’ll also have a great new user profile page that will highlight your community activity.  Kudos have been replaced by “liking” a post instead and you’ll now be able to filter solved vs unsolved posts.

This is, of course, only the beginning — and because it’s built on the Salesforce1 Platform, we’re going to be able to bring you more features faster than ever before.  Be sure to share any feedback, ideas, or questions you have on this forum post.

Hats off to our development team who has been working tirelessly over the past few months to bring this new experience to our community. And thanks to each of you for helping to build one of the most vibrant and collaborative developer communities ever.
 

As a newbie with Chatter I had real problems figuring out the process to retrieve data so hopefully the following will help any other newbies trying to figure it out. Using the Developer Edition:

 

 

1. You will need an https domain where you will run your app which will make a request to your Chatter App
2. You will need to register a new sub domain within the Setup. I think it was under Domains. So you will have something like mydomain-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com

3. Create a Connected App (Create/Apps)
4. The Start URL will be the sub domain you created
5. Select the checkbox for Enable OAuth Settings
6. The callback url will be a path to your https domain on your server (ie https path/to/results.aspx
7. Put all the selected OAuth Scopes over to the right
8. Save

 

_____________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________

 

In the left side navigation you will see there is Manage Apps and Create/Apps

You will find info about your Connected App in both those locations.
You will need the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and Callback Url (or redirect url)

You will now create two .net files which will reside on your server:

 

 

1. default.aspx
2. results.aspx

 

_______________________________________________________________________

 

The default.aspx will make the initial call to salesforce which will return a javascript string.
You will need to extract the relevant content from the string to use, which in turn will open a login page.

Once you have logged in, additional values will be passed back to your app.

 

______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________

 

In your default.aspx

 

 

 

string clientid = "this is the Consumer Key ";
string redirecturl = "https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=" + clientid + "&redirect_uri=" + redirecturl ;
var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
webRequest.Method = "POST";
[Inside a try/catch put the following]
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
result = webClient.DownloadString(uri);

string returnedString = result;

[The result is the string returned which you will need to extract the url contained within the string]
At this point you need to create a ClientScript which, when called, will load the login page.

String csname2 = "myscript";
Type cstype = this.GetType();
string jsScript = "<script>window.location.href ='" + Your_Extracted_Url + "'</script>";
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
cs.RegisterClientScriptBlock(cstype, csname2, jsScript);

 

 

If you save the default.aspx, compiled your project and uploaded to your server then ran it, you would get the login page.

Something like:

 

https://login.salesforce.com/?ec=302&startURL=%2Fsetup%2Fsecur%2FRemoteAccessAuthorizationPage.apexp%3Fsource%3Dl86Hcy6qEKtWNqzXVErZDlmcRQs0D_HBE55MLVuP3x8t5wXkyHYyrVx2Xb5JoWzyVOJrnTqMMaWy_Sfomv.j1xklSQ67NPiEbdAN9Vn15MXpcuc7Tn4&sdtd=1

Now when you submit the login page, it is effectively going to your callback page you designated earlier, so now you have to add code to this file to retrieve the required data.

Result.aspx

[you can add your own try/catch and conditions]

 

string clientid = "same as previous";
string clientsecret = "your client secret";
string redirecturl = "same as previous";

string uri = "https://login.database.com/services/oauth2/token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=" + clientid + "&client_secret=" + clientsecret + "&redirect_uri=" + redirecturl + "&code=" + res + "&format=json";


var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
webRequest.Method = "POST";


if (webRequest.HaveResponse && response != null)
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
        string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
        JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        Dictionary<string,object> dict = ser.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(result);
        int dCount = 0;


       foreach (string strVal in dict.Values)
       {
         if (dCount == 6)
             {
                    string chatterApiUri = "https://SubdomainYouCreated.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v23.0/chatter/users/me";
                   var webRequestlogin = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(chatterApiUri);
                  webRequestlogin.Headers.Add("Authorization", "OAuth "+ sToken);
                 webRequestlogin.Method = "GET";

                    using (var aresponse = webRequestlogin.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
                    {
                                if (webRequestlogin.HaveResponse && response != null)
                               {
                                        using (var areader = new StreamReader(aresponse.GetResponseStream()))
                                       {
                                              string aresult = areader.ReadToEnd();
                                              lblresult.Text += "HERE IS YOUR RESULT " + aresult;
                                       }
                               }
                   }
 
       }
    }
  }
}

 

 

 

 

Your page on your server should display something like the following:

{"address":{"state":null,"country":"GB","street":null,"city":null,"zip":"EH3 5RT"},"email".......etc

 

 

It's a start but hopefully this will help because the documentation is shoddy.
