I have a visualforce page that has a records data displayed as a PDF.  The background for the columns on the left need to be blue.  However using a CSS file it is only ht e text background that turns blue.  The rest of the cell has a white background.  Looking on the internet it might be that the <DIV> tags screw this up.  Anyway I need to have the entire cell background in blue, any help appreciated.

Hi my name is Amar and i am very new to Salesforce and as well as SOQL and SOSL languages.

I have a doubt regarding the inner functionality of SOSL. Here is the point i created an Account, i gave a Account Namelike "Sonia and" with out double quotes and also i gave Account Number like "and" in the same record. 

I opend Apex Explorer in that i opened SOSL tab and i am trying to search a record "Sonia and and and" here Sonia and is Account name. "and" this one is a operator(Marked as red in a search string). and the last "and" is Account Number. So when i click Send Request in SOSL tab it gave result.

Here my problem is how the salesforce will treat and operator. Here i have three "and" words. In these three how the salesforce detect which one is operator "and" which one is normal "and" word...?

Can anybody gave a solution for this one. If any link is there please provide those links..

Thanx In Advance..

Thanks & Regards

Amar

New here and new to Salesforce!

I'm working on developing a call sheet for our company integrated with Salesforce. With only a basic understanding of coding I've opted to build out a tab with the necessary fields and created something that's very usable, linking to contacts, etc.

The trouble I'm currently having is that it takes two clicks to access an individual's calls. What I'd like to do is have a Visualforce element on a user's dashboard that either connects directly back to the tab through a URL, displaying the page or something that displays a list of the calls.

I'm guessing I'm not the first person to attempt this so I thought I'd check in here first and see if anyone has any thoughts or could reference anything that's already been built.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,

Hoping someone out there could shed some light on a problem I've been having on a VF page that displays data as pdf.

The VF page I'm working on is basically a query tool that retrieves data from the DB and displays them in a report. It should have 2 display modes: display on screen and display as pdf. I've tried to implement it by creating two VF pages using one controller. The 1st page has the form where users input the query criteria, and displays the query results in a pageBlock, and the 2nd page is just a page that displays the query results on a page with renderAs="pdf". The pdf page uses a different collection (a List of Lists) to display the results for pagination purposes.

The code looks somewhat like this:

public class MyController {
    
    public List<DataObject> queryResults {get; private set;}

    public List<List<DataObject>> queryResultsForPDF {get; private set;}

    public void runQuery() {
        ...
        // run SOQL query and marshall results into queryResults
        ...
    }
    
    public PageReference viewAsPDF() {
        runQuery();
        ...
        // split queryResults into separate batches and insert into queryResultsForPDF
        ...
        return Page.MyReportPDF;
    }
}

<!-- MyReport VF Page -->
<apex:page controller="MyController">
...
<apex:commandButton action="{!runQuery}" value="Display on screen" rerender="report_block"/>
<apex:commandLink action="{!viewAsPDF}" value="Display as PDF" target="_blank"/>

<apex:pageBlock id="report_block">
... displays report data from queryResults
</apex:pageBlock>

</apex:page>

<!-- MyReport PDF Page -->
<apex:page controller="MyController" renderAs="pdf">

<apex:pageBlock id="report_block">
... displays report data from pdfQueryResults
</apex:pageBlock>

</apex:page>

The report displays fine in the on screen display. However, when I try to do the view as PDF, the data always comes out as empty. I've gone through the debug logs and queryResultsForPDF does get initialized, but for some reason, when the pdf VF page retrieves it, it always comes out as empty (Hope this makes sense)

It seems like the controller instance variables I set in viewAsPDF() aren't reflected in the pdf VF page. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

I have a visualforce page that has a records data displayed as a PDF.  The background for the columns on the left need to be blue.  However using a CSS file it is only ht e text background that turns blue.  The rest of the cell has a white background.  Looking on the internet it might be that the <DIV> tags screw this up.  Anyway I need to have the entire cell background in blue, any help appreciated.

We have a contract for tender to develop a salesforce app with an immediate start, or asap.

The app will create a new custom object for integration with our system. There is no requirement for API integration or testing, just the development of a custom object/module.

We are only considering UK based developers/agencies at this time.

Rate NEG:

short term contract

Please direct message, or provide links.

I am trying to create a report that shows projected "product schedule revenue", by month, for each opportunity, and/or rolled up by sales stage, Business Unit, etc. We are a consulting/services business, so all the financial reports showing booking amounts for revenue are interesting, but not all that relevant for us.  We need to see the contract award amount spread over the period of performance, with revenue each month that estimates actual value earned.

Specifically, I'd like each row to be an opportunity name, OR possibly all the opportunites rolled into their stage (as a summary report version). The columns would be Jan 2010, Feb 2010, Mar 2010, Apr 2010, etc. - whatever months have projected revenue according to the product schedules associated with that opportunity. The data in each cell would then be the amount of "scheduled revenue" for the row's opportunity or overall sales stage. By this I mean that if the opportunity is worth $120K and scheduled to close in Jan 2010 (and expected to be a year's worth of work), I don't want to see $120K as a January amount. What I want to see is $10K per month in each month, which is what has been scheduled for the product within that opportunity.

I cannot find any way to report on the monthly schedule revenue like this.
Thanks for any advice.

I downloaded the campaign timeline application but it only comes with 4 standard views and not the ability to edit those views. Has anyone figured out a hack to get around this? Or is there anything that I'm missing? I have a hierarchical structure in my campaigns and it overpopulates the application with campaigns only used for hierarchy.

Thanks,

Keenan
