How do I (dynamically) refer to a field in a loop given the fieldname as an input string?

So I'm looping through the records from a List and want to check the value of a field against the value from the previous record. But I want to be able to pass the name of the field to the method. Something like:

public static void (List<Contact> cList, string fieldname) {
integer i = 1;
for ( Contact c : cList) {
if (c[i].fieldname == c[i-1].fieldname) {
...
} else {
...
}

Can you use a bit wise operator on integer variables?

I'm coding a set of true/false opions by setting an integer field x to say 9 (1001 in binary), so that if I want to check if any particular bit is set, I do:

x & 8 (= true), or
x & 2 (= false), etc.

But the compiler complains, saying 'Illegal assignment from Integer to Boolean' having also said '& operator can only be applied to Boolean expressions or to Integer or Long expressions'. Hoow can I get this basic functionality to work?

How can the visibility of a button in a VF column be made to depend on the field value for that row?

I have rows of data to display on a VF form and on some rows I want to hide the button based on a field value for that row. Everything I try hides the entire column, e.g.

<apex:dataTable value="data" var="c">
    <apex:column>
        <apex:outputText value="{!c.field}/>
        <apex:outputPanel rendered="{!c.rowBoolean}">
            <button type="button">process...</button>
        </apex:outputPanel>
    </apex:column>
</apex:dataTable>

What happens when a PageReference call times out?

We have a method which builds a URL and then uses it to redirect to an external payment collection services. On occasion this appears to time out and two 'Income Card Payment' records are created. Has anywone seen this. What happens if the redirect times out - does SF try again?

How do I ensure serial processing of record merges?

In an Apex test I am merging three pairs of Contacts (in a for loop), but before it completes I get this error:

first error: LIMIT_EXCEEDED, System.LimitException: npsp:Too many queueable jobs added to the queue: 2: []

How can I ensure only 1 queueable job is processed at one time?

Are you getting random Apex Test failures?

We have been getting Apex Test failures which have little connection to recent development. Sometimes they go away without any direct intervention. Also, it's often only one sandbox that complains.

I have managed to resolve one and the cause was records being returned from a SELECT statement in a different order from usual. So it seems that if you don't use 'ORDER BY' you can't rely on the order of the records being returned.

New fields in campaign history related list not appearing in XML

I have created 2 new fields on Campaign Member and added these to the Campaign History related list on Contact. So far, so good. But when I retrieve the layout through Ant, the new fields are not on the related list. If I remove or add other fields in the related list they duly disappaer and reappear, but the two new fields do not. Anyone else seen this behavour?

How to increase font size on Flow component Toggle's text?

When you use the Toggle control on a Flow screen, it has text for Active and Inactive, both of which default to a small point size, i.e. 8 or 9. Neither allow any style to be added to the text, so how can I increase the size of this text?

<apex:outputlink> not working in Community

My <apex:outputlink> works fine in Lightning/Classic, but not in my Community ('volunteermanagement'). I have:

<apex:outputLink value="/{!account.id}" target="_top">{!account.name}</apex:outputLink>

but in the community it redirects to:

ttps://mydomain.force.com/volunteermanagement/s/volunteermanagement/AccountHierarchyPage?id=0011p00001cTA2eXXY

It seems to be overcompensating for the community name. What I want is simply:

https://mydomain.force.com/volunteermanagement/s/detail/0011p00001cTA2eXXY

Anyone come across this or have any ideas?

Coding link which works for Lightning and Community

I've had to rewrite an Apex Link so it works both in Lightning and inside a Community - but it's clunky as I've had to hard code the community name ('volunteermanagement'):

<apex:outputLink value="/{!pos.account.id}" rendered="{!$User.UIThemeDisplayed == 'Theme4d'}" target="_top">{!pos.account.name}</apex:outputLink>
           
<apex:outputLink value="/volunteermanagement/s/detail/{!pos.account.id}" rendered="{!$User.UIThemeDisplayed != 'Theme4d'}" target="_top">{!pos.account.name}</apex:outputLink>

Can you advise me on something which only requires one statement?

Many thanks
