Moving Application from one org to another?

Hi there,

In one of the Developer edition I have created a custom object A that I would like to move to another Devloper edition.

What is the best way to do that?

I tried packaging the object and then uploading to app exchange and then received a URL too - however I am confused what do I do with this URL? When I copy and paste this URL to a new browser it asks for a login details? Its confusing. How do I move it?

Create Trigger to display ALERT message when the SAVE button is clicked.

Hi there,

I already have a Scontrol which displays an alert message on the Opp page when the 3 criterias are met. I would like to implement the same logic in a Trigger so that it displays the alert message only when the SAVE button is clicked. Here is the code for Scontrol:-
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/js/functions.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/soap/ajax/10.0/connection.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

function updatethechkbox()
{
var cas= new sforce.SObject("Opportunity");
result = sforce.connection.create([cas]);
cas.Id = "{!Opportunity.Id}";
cas.ForAlertMsg__c = "true";
result = sforce.connection.update([cas]);

}

    function throwalert()
    {

     // Begin by creating 3 variables for the criteria to be met.
    // 1st RecordType should be KBB Generic for the Opportunity

    var recordtype = "{!Opportunity.RecordType}";

    // 2nd will be the TYPE of opportunity that is created, which is the standard field.

    var thetype = "{!Opportunity.Type}";

    // 3rd will be the Opportunity Status which is also a standard field.

    var isstatus = "{!Opportunity.StageName}";

   // Another variable is defined which will hold the ALERT message as this is the better approach - inside the function.

    var msgg = "You can now create the Sales Order for this Opportunity"

   // Another variable for the hidden checkbox field on the Oppor page which will be set to TRUE first time alert is displayed

     var hide = "{!Opportunity.ForAlertMsg__c}";
     //var isChanged = false; // This will be set to TRUE when the ALERT is displayed the first time.


    // Now the IF statement for 3 criteria to be met, along with the following:-
    // 1. Check if the chkbox is set to TRUE or not.
    // 2. If checkbox is NOT TRUE then display the message and set it to TRUE.
    // 3. If checkbox is TRUE then dont display the message.

     if ((recordtype == "KBB Generic") && (thetype == "KBB KPO") && (isstatus == "Closed Won") && ({!Opportunity.ForAlertMsg__c} == false))

     {
        updatethechkbox();
        alert(msgg);

       }
       else
       {
                     window.parent.location.replace = "{URLFOR($Action.Opportunity.View, Opportunity.Id,null,true)};"
        }
     }
    </script>
</head>
<body onload="throwalert()";>
</body>
</html>
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I am little confused as to how will I start writing a Trigger which does the same thing?

I understand it will be of the Before Insert and Before update.

Can you give me few starting points on this one please?

thanks

Overwrite SAVE button on Opportunity Edit Page?

Import WSDL file into .Net Environment?

Hi there,

I was trying one of the example mentioned in Apex Api documentation and followed these steps:-

1.> From my developer edition, I saved the WSDL file - enterprise wsdl to the C drive

2.> I would now like to import this WSDL file to the .NET Environment. So I followed these steps and I am stucked here:-

a) When I click on http//localhost/website76 and say "Add Web Reference".

b) In the URL section, I typed in the following:-
C:\Salesforce+Integrations\DuringTraining\enterprise.wsdl

and it returns an error saying - Make sure the Internet Address is correct.

How do I refer to this WSDL file which I saved it.?

What am I missing.

In the documentation it says the same thing:-

File:///C:\Salesforce+Integrations\DuringTraining\enterprise.wsdl

But when I type this, it is not accepted either.

Please advice.

Thanks

Validation Rule for International Format

Hi there,

I already have the validation rule created for Phone Validation field - 10 digits with 4 digits extension? This works great. But would also like make sure, that it also checks for International Format.

AND(LEN(Phone) <> 0,
NOT (
AND(

LEFT(Phone,1)="(",
MID(Phone,5,1)=")",
MID(Phone,6,1)=" ",
MID(Phone,10,1)="-",

CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 2, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 3, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 4, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 7, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 8, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 9, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 11, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 12, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 13, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 14, 1)),

OR(AND(LEN(Phone)<=20,MID(Phone, 15,2)=" x",

CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 17, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 18, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 19, 1)),
CONTAINS("0123456789", MID (Phone, 20, 1))
), LEN(Phone)<=14
)
)
)
)

What needs to be added ?

I got this from the doc:-

LEFT(Phone, 1) <> "+"

Also, if I add the above logic would it not conflict with the 10 digit rule?

Using SubString Function in a S-Control

Can someone take a look at this piece of code?

if(dynaBean.Product2.ProductCode == '25PS'){

updateAccount.PowerSystem__c = 1;

if(PowerSystem.substring(0,4))== 0 isChanged )= true;

}

What is the correct technique of using substring function in the Salesforce. I want to say, if the Product Code of the Product Name – POWERSYSTEM starts with 25PS then it should place a check mark.

Could you suggest please?

Hiding a case section or specific fields?

Hi all!

I'm a Salesforce Professional user, and was curious if there is a way to specfically hide either an entire case section in a layout, e.g. RMA information, or specific fields, making the appearance conditional on a specific case type, e.g. RMA Request?

I've scoured the documentation and the forums here but haven't seen anything that would give me a clear cut yes, or no.

Not sure if i can put a trigger on the field itself.

If i cannot the other option is to compare old and new values but i dont have a clue on how to do that.

Basic JavaScript ?: Adding a delay to (window).opener.location.reload()

Hello -

I have an S-Control that, for all intents and purposes, opens the existing object (an Opportunity in this case) in Edit mode and then saves it immediately with no changes. We want to trigger a workflow rule that copies information from roll-up summary fields to the Amount field, but this is only triggered with an edit on the Opp itself, not from the child edit(s).

So from a link (and eventually a button), we call the S-Control, which calls Edit/Save on the Opportunity, then we reload the parent and close the child.

I'm using opener.location.reload().

The trouble is, the Opportunity page frequently refreshes too quickly, in that the database change (apparently) hasn't gone through yet. A subsequent refresh will display the changes, but what good is that?!

Here's the code:

Code:

oppHasBeenSaved = false;

function init() { 
// Open Opportunity Edit page & then save the Opportunity 
    try {
         if (oppHasBeenSaved == false) {
              var url = '{!URLFOR($Action.Opportunity.Edit, Opportunity.Id)}'; 
              window.parent.location = url + "&save=1";
              oppHasBeenSaved = true;
              updateComplete();
              close();
         }
         else {
              notify();
              close();
         }
    } catch(error) {
      alert(error);
    }
} // end function init()

function updateComplete() {
    //alert("inside updateComplete ...");
    opener.location.reload();
    opener.focus();
    close();
}

Is there a way to use window.setTimeout() or some other function to allow that background activity to be completed? (I suggested an override to the Opportunity Product's Save button, but I was overruled, hence we're doing this from Opportunity. There's no SOQL, so there's no waiting for the return to come back.)

Let me know what you know.

Thanks!
