I've a Visualforce code snippet that retrieves the week number of a Apex timestamp attribute:

<apex:outputText id="currweek" style=" align : center ; " value="W{0,date,w}">
  <apex:param value="{!tk.StopTime__c}"/> 
</apex:outputText>

However, the timestamp is GMT, not localized. I'm GMT+5, so I get the wrong results after 7pm Saturdays.

The documentation suggests using $A.localizationService.formatDate(...), but placing it around the 0, or around the param value attribute don't pass the editor syntax checks.

Thanks in advance for any clarity you can provide.

I'm building a Map for a user table. I know the attribute names, what do I specify for Schema.SObjectField data types?

The particular types of interest are "Auto Number" and "Date/Time".

toolbarGroup onclick attribute doesn't seem to work

My thought was that the following Visualforce code would create a toolbar containing the word "Data", and that clicking on the word would produce a JavaScript alert message.

<apex:toolbar id="theToolbar">
    <apex:toolbarGroup onclick="javascript: window.alert('myData');" id="Data">
        <apex:outputText value="Data"/>
    </apex:toolbarGroup>
</apex:toolbar>

Much to my surprise, nothing happens.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hosting a (very simple) Java applet on a salesforce.com web-page

I am attempting to host a Java applet as a Static Resource using Java 1.8.0_11. The Java code could not be simpler:

import javax.swing.JApplet;
class HelloWorld extends JApplet {
   public void init() {
      System.out.println("HelloWorld.init()");
   }
   public void start() {
      System.out.println("HelloWorld.start()");
   }
   public void stop() {
      System.out.println("HelloWorld.stop()");
   }
   public void destroy() {
      System.out.println("HelloWorld.destroy()");
   }
}

The manifest file is:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Application-Name: HelloWorld
Main-Class: HelloWorld
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: https://csseht.na5.visual.force.com/resource/1421524096000/
Codebase: https://csseht.na5.visual.force.com/resource/1421524096000/
Permissions: all-permissions
Sealed: true

The error that occurs is:

RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

and I suspect a "chicken-and-egg" type scenario. I am unable to specify the correct path in the manifest file, as the Static Resource name/URL location is assigned when the Static Resource is uploaded and saved. (a timestamp-based algorithm of some sort, I suspect).

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide

Problem using dynamicComponent tag

I have the following Apex tag:

<apex:dynamicComponent componentValue="{!eT}"/>

that results in the following error when attempting a Quick Save:

Error: Cannot convert the value of '{!eT}' to the expected type.

The pertinent controller class methods are as follows:

  public sObject super(String s) {
       EmailTemplate t = ooo

       return (sObject) t;
  }
  public sObject getET() {
       return super('{!tmpl.DeveloperName__c}');
  }

The error occurs when the methods return either "sObject" or "EmailTemplate" object types.

How can I add a field/attribute to the EmailTemplate object, OR create a new object (with adds)

I'm doing development, and need to extend the existing EmailTemplate object.

How do I add a field/attribute to this object, OR how do I create a new object that includes all the fields/attributes of the EmailTemplate + my additions?

Is there anyway to accomplish this other than a brute-force object creation, that copies the original attributes item by item and requires manual updates if the original EmailTemplate object definition is ever changed in the future?

Said another way, I'd like my changes to be added to any current (or future) definition of the EmailTemplate object.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Is Data Loader access available on Enterprise (or Unlimited) Edtion for production admin users?

Hello,

I'm familiar with Developer Edition, but not Enterprise or Unlimited Edition.

Could someone verify for me that Data Loader can provide read & write access to production data via an Administrator userid? What, if any, are the restrictions on performing this type of Data Maintenance? I am familiar with other database systems, and this type of Maintenance typically occurs in a DBA sole-access time-window off-shift, without active production users using the system

The Data Maintenance I am looking to perform is solely initailizing new userids, passwords, etc.. My thinking is that this can occur during first-shift, with active users on the system, with no disruption of service.

Any experience or insight you can offer would be appreciated.

How to join two Objects into one PageBlockTable

I have the following concept page:

<apex:page controller="UTPageBlockTable"> <apex:pageBlock > <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!join}" var="h"> <apex:column value="{!h.Name}"/> <apex:column value="{!h.oId}"/> </apex:pageBlockTable> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:page>

with the controller:

public class UTPageBlockTable { public List<UTJoin> getJoin() { List<UTJoin> result = new List<UTJoin>(); UTJoin record = new UTJoin(); User one = [ SELECT Name FROM User LIMIT 1 ]; Organization two = [ SELECT Id FROM Organization LIMIT 1 ]; record.Name = one.Name; record.oId = two.Id; result.add(record); record.Name = 'MyOtherUser'; record.oId = '01p700000004hau'; result.add(0,record); return result; } }

and the Apex Class:

public class UTJoin { public String Name; public Id oId; }

When the page is displayed, I get the "none-too-descriptive" error page:

getName()

To me, this appears to be a Salesforce.com error. Customer Support directed me to this Discussion Board for guidance.

Standard Filter for Summary Report of Activities too restrictive

I'm trying to develop a report summarizing Activities by Status. I cannot exclude (or modify) the Standard Filter, which provides the choices to Show 1) Open Activities, 2) Closed Activities, OR 3) Open & Closed Activities. I'd like to be able to show All Activities with *ANY* Status (ie to include Not Started/Deferred, etc.) or the option to disable the Standard Filter entirely.

Can this restriction be circumvented with the Reporting software as it is currently?

Javascript invocation of actionFunction: Can it be done?

If I have the page

<apex:page> <apex:form> <apex:actionFunction name="fubar" action="{!myApexMethod}"> <apex:param name="firstParam" assignTo="{!myflag}" value=""/> </apex:actionFunction> </apex:form> <script type="text/javascript"> fubar('{!$Profile.Id}'); </script> </apex:page>

the getMyFlag method seems to run at "page-delivery time", rather than at client-side "page-load time". Is there anyway to change this apparent behavior?

I'm not interested in how it works (if it can), just how to make it work with the current implemetation.

Transferring updated variable value from Radio Button selection to Component attribute

<apex:form style="{ height : 201px }" > <apex:selectRadio value="{!upgrade}" layout="pageDirection"> <apex:selectOptions value="{!upgrades}"/> </apex:selectRadio><br/> <apex:commandButton onclick="javascript&colon;doConfirmUp();" value="{!Btn_Go}" rerender="out1" status="status" action="{!go}"/> </apex:form> <apex:outputPanel id="out1"> <apex:actionstatus id="status"><apex:outputPanel > <c:CSSUTLConfirmPopup id="uPopupWindow" confirmURL="{!$Site.Name}/home/home.jsp" page="CSSUTLConfirmPopup" todo="doConfirmUp" retURL="{!$CurrentPage.URL}" to="{!upgrade}" from="{!currentSystemLevel}"/> </apex:outputPanel> </apex:actionstatus></apex:outputPanel>

I'm trying to accomplish the subject task with the above Apex markup. I've based the above attempt on an example for a SelectRadio tag in the Visualforce Developer's Guide.

I also tried the above without the <apex:outputpanel id="out1"><apex:actionstatus><apex:outputpanel> nesting. This worked as I might reasonably expect, however the updated variable value from the user interaction, {!upgrade}, was not provided. The variable {!currentSystemValue}, set via a controller "set" method, was populated correctly.

It is not clear to me how the updated variable value is re-introduced into the page, or if this combination of tags is valid or not.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Multi-instance pick-lists in a PageBlockTable

I've been asked to post this question here, as it may be a more appropriate venue than the Apex Code Development Discussion Board, where it originally appeared. Pardon the duplication is you're a regular reader of both boards.

I'm having trouble retrieving the value of pick-lists, one per line-item, in a PageBlockTable.

I have been able to display the lists, which then also correctly display the appropriate values from the database.

The user documentation seems vague in this area, specifically in locating any user modifications. My best guess is via a reference such as:

Page.pagename.ulist.users.level.ulvl.getValue() , where "ulist" is the id of the PageBlock, "users" is the id of the PageBlockTable, "level" is the id of the SelectList, and "ulvl" is the id of the SelectOptions tag. Admittedly, there is no line-item selector in this best guess, and the Apex compiler indicates I have guessed incorrectly.

I had thought the in-storage attribute would be updated (the data from the original SOQL Select that determined the initial value), however that was not the case.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

How to populate commandButton value and column headerValue with dynamically generated text

Hello

Here the sample of code:

<apex:commandButton value="Edit" />

Instead of using hardcoded text "Edit" I would like populate the value tag with the dynamic text, based on the parameter (MSG_002) passed into apex class .

<apex:commandButton value="MSG_002" />

example of apex class code :

if (msgID== "MSG_002" && user.lang == "en_US" ){ return "Edit"}

else if (msgID== "MSG_002" && user.lang == "ru" ){ return "Menyat'"}

else if (msgID== "MSG_002" && user.lang == "jp" ){ return "Bblala'"}

I have created custom component for outputText

</apex:page>

<c:outputTextSF msgId="MSG_0003" />

</apex:page>

<apex:component controller="LangCompController">

<apex:attribute name="msgId" type="string" Description="MessageID" assignTo="{!feedMessageID}"/>

<apex:componentBody >

{!customMessage}

</apex:componentBody>

</apex:component>

But I have no idea how to handle the following components

<apex:commandButton value=””>

< apex:pageBlock helpTitle=””>

< apex:pageBlock title=””>

< apex:column headerValue =””>

< apex:sectionHeader subtitle =””>

Any thought, ideas how to solve this problem?

How do I highlight a particular value in a list

Sorry if this is a dumb question ... I'm a beginner with VisualForce and searching hasn't turned anything up.

I have a list of objects I want to render but I also want to highlight a particular value as the 'current selection' (i.e. give it a different class to the other elements). This is easy with JSTL: use a foreach tag to iterate over the collection and an if...test tag to check whether the value is the one I want to highlight. Obviously I can use dataList or repeat to iterate over the collection but I can't see any equivalent to if...test.

Any ideas? I can do it with Javascript but that seems very hacky.
