Hi,

 

I originally created a custom button on the Contact page layout that allowed me to start a flow. The code that worked fine is as follows:

 

/flow/Enable_SLink_Access
&varContactId={!Contact.Id}
&retURL=/{!Contact.Id}

 This worked great. However I now need to add some JavaScript to this button to analyse the current users profile to allow or deny running the flow.

 

The new code now looks like this:

 

//Required by Salesforce.com to run OnClick JavaScript
{!RequireScript("/soap/ajax/10.0/connection.js")}

if ( '{!User.Profile}' != 'System Administrator' )
{
alert('You are not authorised to edit SLink Settings for this Contact');
}
else
{
window.open('/flow/Enable_SLink_Access&varContactId={!Contact.Id}&retURL=/{!Contact.Id}');
}

 However now it takes me to an invalid URL where the message on screen says 'URL No Longer Exists'.

 

The URL has become: https://cs2.salesforce.com/flow/Enable_SLink_Access&varContactId=003R000000Z7dEv&retURL=/003R000000Z7dEv

 

Can anyone help me with the code I should dress up the flow bit of the code with please?

 

Thanks very much,

Hey,

An interesting little quirk related to case insensitivity in Apex.  If you go

String s1 = 'a';
String s2 = 'A';
system.debug ( s1 == s2 );

...it'll say 'true' as you'd expect.

But now do this:

Set<String> s = new Set<String> { 'a' , 'b' };
System.debug ( s.contains ( 'a' ) );
System.debug ( s.contains ( 'B' ) );

...the second debug statement says 'False'; in other words, you cannot find that second set element by 'B'.

Thus - this little corner of Apex is case-sensitive.   The same thing applies to Map keys, which makes sense, as they're probably implemented similarly under the sheets.

This can be used to your advantage if you need to do a case-sensitive compare between strings:

static boolean streq ( String a , String b ) {
    Set<String> s = new Set<String> { a };
    return ( s.contains ( b ) );
}
