Hi all,

I am  very new to Salesforce.  I have created visual force pages with the help of documents and have written apex classes in standard objects.  Now I am trying to write apex classes in visual force pages.  For example in my visual force page I have a standard 'Save' button which functions normally. If I have to override this normal functionality, how do I do this? Can anyone guide me.

I have some records where a user has submitted for approval and been approved.  Now I am in a scenario where I want to erase the approval completely.

Is there a way to do this via the UI or the API?  

I'm working on a very simple scheduled Apex case. Once a month I want to scan opportunities, and reassign ones that don't have a status date back to an early stage (this keeps our pipeline clean).

I have read a lot of forum posts and blogs on this and here is what I have so far - it's basically not executing at all (0% coverage). I'm not an Apex/Java expert so I might be missing something very obvious. Please help if you can.

Here is my implements Scheduler class:

global class OpportunityRestageScheduler implements Schedulable
{
 
    global void execute(SchedulableContext ctx)
    {
       OpportunityRestage.changeStage();
    
    }    
}

Here is my regular class that reassigns a stage:

global class OpportunityRestage
{
   @future(callout=true)
    public static void changeStage()
    {
        List<Opportunity> opps = new List<Opportunity>();
        
        for(Opportunity OppMaster:[select ID, StageName from Opportunity where Current_Status_Date__c = null]) 
        {
            
            // Reassign the stage
            OppMaster.StageName = 'B = Target Account';
            opps.add(OppMaster);            
        }
        update opps;
    }
}

Here is my test class to run the above:

@istest

class OppRestageTest
{
   
   public static testMethod void testOppRestaging() 
   {
       Test.StartTest();

       Opportunity opp1 = 
new Opportunity(StageName = '6 = Selection Vendor / Solution', 
Name = 'testmethod', CloseDate = date.today());
       insert opp1;
       
      
       OpportunityRestageScheduler reassign = new OpportunityRestageScheduler();
       
       Test.StopTest();
       
       System.debug('Stage update');
       System.debug(opp1.StageName);  
   }            
}

I based the code off this Salesforce blog post which implements the Apex scheduler: http://blog.sforce.com/sforce/2010/02/spring-10-saw-the-general-availability-of-one-of-my-favorite-new-features-of-the-platform-the-apex-schedulerwith-the-apex-s.html

I'm trying to upload a package but there are a couple custom reports in one object that reference objects outside of what we want to share.  When I go to upload I get an error that these referenced components aren't included in my package. 

Is there a way that I can exclude these elements from my package without having to DELETE them?

We would like to create a multi-picklist "County" field with all of the counties found in the United States. Unfortunately that means that we would need to have about 3100 different values in our picklist .

I know that with multi-select picklists you can only have a maximum of 150 values.

Is there a way to store this information otherwise?

Is there a way around it using Apex or is the best way to do this to be forced into creating some kind of custom object solution?

any help would be appreciated.

I have a scenario where I want the user to input an Account ID as text in a field on my form. Then, after they update that field, I want to take that value and save it as the Account__c value which is a hidden field on my form.

Basically I'm looking for a way that a user can identify themselves with an account without being able to see the whole list of accounts out there using the lookup.

How would I modify this field dynamically upon them making that change?

Thanks

This is probably really simple, but I haven't seen it done: 

After a user fills out my Visualforce form, I want them to be redirected to a "Thank you for your submission" page instead of the native action of viewing the record.

How would I do this?

Thanks

I wrote a trigger that figures out who the Lead owner should be based on some rules that we have.

When I execute this via web-to-lead, my trigger assigns the appropriate person but in the order of operations after that, Salesforce runs the Lead 'Assignment Rules.'

Since I have no formal 'assignment rules' set up, the system assigns every lead to the default lead owner. This only happens in the web to lead scenario - when I manually create a lead or bulk load them with the dataloader, they get assigned properly.

Is there a way in Apex to tell the system not to run the assignment rules or is there a way around this situation?

Thanks

I've setup my lead object with a trigger that looks at a zip code table and assigns the proper owner for the lead.

This works great when I manually create a lead or load them in with the dataloader. However, when someone submits a lead from our website (web-to-lead), they are all getting assigned to me (not even the default owner). 

Is there something I have to turn on to enable my web-to-lead to fire off my Apex trigger? Is there a way that I can debug the web 2 lead process besides the debug email option (I already have that turned on). I'm looking for a way to write out my trigger code to a log and see if it is firing in the web to lead process.

Thanks

I wrote a custom app and tested the code and everything was fine. I pushed the code to production and it was working and in use.

 
I wrote new code in our Sandbox later on for another process, when I ran a test of that code, I had enough coverage of it and I was ready to push that code to production as well. However, when I tried to move the new code to production using Eclipse, all of a sudden one of my old triggers that was already in production said it had 0% test coverage. This made my new migration fail. It was a trigger that I had already tested and it previously had 100% test coverage. Since you can't change triggers in production, it was extra baffling.

After a few hours of testing and spinning my wheels, I realized that in Production we had created a new validation rule that we didn't have in the Sandbox. Because of the new validation rule, the Test class that was previously working was not allowed to fire off one of my triggers thus invalidating a working triggers' code coverage (even though the trigger still functioned fine in production).

The moral of the story is that when you add any new code to production, it reruns a test of ALL your code (including previously added classes). If you've added anything in production that might affect some of your triggers, it can break your test coverage percentage.

I'm trying to send a Visualforce email template with custom object information that also lists out some child items. It's a pretty simple idea, but I'm getting a compile error because it doesn't like my child object reference. Can anyone help me correct this? I have bolded the problem line.

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Changeover Order Form APPROVED"
recipientType="User" relatedToType="Changeover_Order_Form__c">
<messaging:plainTextEmailBody >

Details:
Account: {!relatedTo.Account__c}

Ingoing Order Amount: {!relatedTo.Ingoing_Order_Amount__c}
Package: {!relatedTo.Package_Options__c}
Gift Card Level: {!relatedTo.Gift_Card_Level__c}
Gift Card dollars used: {!relatedTo.Total_Gift_Card_dollars_used__c}

GIFT CARD SELECTION:
<apex:repeat var="gx" value="{!relatedTo.Gift_Card_Selection}">
Vendor: {!gx.Vendor_Card__c} ] - # of Cards: {!gx.of_Cards__c} ]
</apex:repeat>

View the record: http://www.salesforce.com/{!relatedTo.Id}

</messaging:plainTextEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

I made sure that the Child Relationship Name field was filled in with "Gift_Card_Selection."

Am I missing something else?

I just created a custom app and it has everything the marketing group wanted. However, at the end of the approval process it needs to send an email with the contents of the record (which is no problem) AND a listing of the related items.

I'm not sure how to send that list since it could be one entry or many and it is not part of the main object. It has a lookup relationship to the main object though.

Is there a way to somehow query the related list using Apex or some other method so that I could return the items in an email?

Thanks

This should be an easy one but it doesn't seem to be in the documentation:

When executing a hard delete with the bulk api dataloader command line, what is the right syntax?

<entry key="process.operation" value="hard delete"/> - this throws an error. As does 'Hard Delete' and 'harddelete.'  So I'm not quite sure what to put.  Regular 'delete' works just fine.

Thanks!
