force.com ide install - nothing to install

Hi

I posted this a while ago in another forum

 

http://community.salesforce.com/t5/General-Development/force-com-ide-plugin/m-p/159633

 

I've installed Eclipse Ganymede version 3.4

I click Hellp|Software Updates and Add Sites

and put in http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/

When i select Force.com IDE nothing shows and the Install button never becomes enabled!!!

 

I desperately need to bring my triggers from sandbox to production.

Can I disable a trigger using the SOAP API?

I want to use SOAP API to disable a trigger, run a script, then enable it again. Can someone advise if this is possible?
 
It looks like I could use the ApexTrigger class to set the “Status” to “Inactive”, however on its documentation: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_apextrigger.htm it says that “Inactive is not valid for ApexClass. For more information, see the Metadata API Developer Guide.” However when looking at the link I can see the status field and it looks like “Inactive” is a valid entry: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.212.0.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_triggers.htm?search_text=inactive

master detail and report types

Hi

I had a custom object (Interests) with a lookup field.

I realized I should have made it a master-detail relationship with Contacts.

After changing to master-detail there was no longer an Interests and Contacts report type in Other reports like there was when it was just a lookup.

Now none of my reports work :(

Any advise or documentation on how Report Types work with master-detail?  Aren't they auto created?

Thanks

Tammy

selection of multiple contacts using a lookup

HI

 

When you create a task in salesforce it is possible to click the Multiple Users. tab and assign the task to more than one User.

 

Is it possible to allow this functionality with the Contact Lookup?  I'd love a method of being able to lookup more than one contact at a time.  Some of my custom objects (eg. trip reports where you may visit a number of contacts in one visit) really require me to be able to relate that one report to two or three Contacts.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

Best Regards

Tammy

opportunity tab

Hi
This is really dumb.  I can't find the Opportunity Tab.  I go in and give all permissions and set it to Default On but still when I look at 'all tabs'  Opportunity does not show.
What am I missing?

writing triggers

hi
 
haven't a clue how to figure out how to write triggers.  none of the examples have enuff explanation to get me going.
i want to write a trigger that does the following:
 
the trigger needs to fire on update of contacts.Account
it would have to look up the accounts.organization_code__c where accounts.Name=contacts.Account
and make contact.org_code__c =account.organization_code__c
 
any takers :)
thanks

it will be difficult for users to figure out how to get to the public group calendar

update a field when another field changes - triggers, workflow oh my

hi
 
in my contacts table i have a lookup for accounts
however, if an account is changed in a contact i also have an external (sql server) id that i'd like updated (it's called org_code)
 
i've looked at workflow but it doesn't let me say....if account is updated lookup org_code for that account and update it
 
how can i accomplish this
 
i think a trigger would work but i can't figure out how to build them
if i go to customize | contacts | triggers there is no New button to build one
is there a document somewhere that would walk me through this??
 
thanks

reordering dropdowns in views & creating masks

two more questions :)
 
ONE:
my users find it frustrating that the dropdowns of field names (for example, when creating a view) are not alphabetic
is it possible to modify this?
 
TWO:
i'm getting into a time cruch to complete this project
 
the default telephone format based on my locale is not what i want
i'd pefer if all phone numbers were forced to look like
613.555.5555 ext xxxx
 
so, user enters 10 numbers it formats as above
user enters more than 10 the format assumes international
else error
 
how do i go about this in salesforce
 
i assume i use a validation rule
could some show me a rule they've used for this
 
 
thanks

Testing with Self-Service Portal Users

I asked this question during the recent webinar, but got no answer.

 

How do you test apex code that requires the use of self-service portal users when the DML operation to create self-service portal users is not allowed?

 

For now, outside of my test code, I have to create a dummy account, a dummy contact, and then a dummy self-service portal user. Then I have to hope no one deletes this by accident, or my test code no longer works.

 

I know that, like users, you cannot delete self-service portal users. But you can create users in Apex test code that go away when the test completes.

 

Why can't you create self-service portal users in apex code?
