Expire LMA Licenses by Usage Value

I am missing something basic here and I don't know what it is.  How do you get the "Continue" and "Don't show me this again" buttons to be incorporated into the page?

I've created a VF Page (mostly stock html thus probably missing a apex section or something) and set it up as a Home tab Custom Link and then set it as my splash page for my custom tab. The page shows fine, but there are no buttons to dismiss the splash because there are no buttons.

So, what am I missing?  The only information I could dig up in Help, Apex Help and VF Help is the following:

Custom Tab Splash Page

You can add a splash page to any custom tabs in your app. Custom splash pages can include information about using the custom tab and custom object with links to additional information. They include a Continue button and a Don’t show me this again button.

Create the splash page for your app in the form of a custom link for the Home tab via Setup | Customize | Home | Custom Links. Custom links can be a URL to an HTML page or a custom s-control or Visualforce page. Create your custom splash page as a Home tab custom link and then add it as the splash page option to any custom tabs you plan to upload to AppExchange

Does anyone else find that they are getting a number of Package Upload and Package Installation Errors since the Spring09 release? Seems like ever since then we have been plagued by all sorts of issues that force us to go to Salesforce Support to get them resolved.

It has probably happened to us about 5 times now where we get an error like this:

If we are doing something wrong, salesforce won't tell us and it's really making us look bad when we can't follow through with customers because of some unknown error that we apparently can't fix on our own. Then we have to wait a week to get it resolved.

Just wondering if this is a problem anyone else has been having since Spring 09, or if it's something directly related to the way in which we build and deploy these packages. (or maybe both)

If I wanted to create a visual force page that could be refferenced from any object, what is the best way?

If I wanted to create a button to my vf page, then the page must have the object set as it's standardController, right? So, this wouldn't work for any more then one object unless there is some sort of generic controller for sObject or something... Is there?

If I wanted users to be able to easily add a custom detail button linking to my vf page on any object's page layout... how would I do that? Is there a generic url that would work for all Orgs or something?

Thanks.

Here is the scenario: You create a opportunity. You attach some files to that opportunity via the “Notes & Attachments” related list. You decide you have to email one of these files to a recipient and you want to use the “Send An Email” button on the Activity History related list, so you click the button. Next you try to attach a file that was just previously uploaded as an attachment to the opportunity, so you click the “Attach File” button.

Problem: The Attach File lookup window only supports Documents.  Attached files cannot be found.

Can this be fixed via something simple like a setting or an AppExchange package?  I can’t believe you can’t do this by default.  I looked at the schema and the Document object is about identical to the Attachment object… so what gives?

If I have to write some APEX or Visual Force to get around this, that is fine… but I’m looking for thoughts and ideas on how best to get this solved.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

I would like to add a custom button to the Products related list on the Opportunity page layout, but the interface is acting like this is not possible.  My test button shows up as an option in the other related lists, but not the products.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a limitation that I need to work around? Is it just not allowed at all?

I've searched the help and these sites but didn't find anything documented on this.  Looks like you can override the standard buttons, but that doesn't help me.  Would like an additional custom button.

Anybody know what is going on here?

Thanks.

Ok, so here is it. 

• I have a customer who installed a trial version of a managed package into their sandbox. 
• Our LMA does not show a license record for that new installation.
• We have a workflow that sends out an automated email to the customer when the package is about to expire based on the LMA's License Record's Expiration field.  They got that message.  How did that happen if the record never existed?
• Problem: Customer needs an extension of the trial period.  How can I extend the trial period if the LMA record does not exist?

What is the reason that the install into the sandbox does not show in the LMA?

Will it actually expire in the sandbox? (maybe this answers the question above?)

If it will expire, how do I extend it if I can't see it in the LMA?

I have used the Data Explorer to see if there are more records there than the web interface is displaying, but I didn't see anything.

Ideas? Answers?

Thanks Much.

I built a VF page to override the change lead status functionality. We require that a Reason Rejected field value is selected when setting the Lead Status = Rejected so I dynamically render the Reason Rejected when Rejected is selected from the select box. Everything works great...except when the user presses the button from a lead list view that is filtered by a Campaign. When they attempt to do so, instead of seeing my custom page, they get something like:

LastName, status FROM Lead WHERE ((CampaignId = '701T00000001cZo') ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:83 No such column 'CampaignId' on entity 'Lead'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

My VF page references the standard Lead controller. Do I really need to create a custom controller just to make this work?

Hello,

Im trying to accomplish something like this:

select a.id,

a.MY_DUPEID__c,

a.FirstName,

b.Firstname as Firstname_Orig

from  Lead a

LEFT JOIN 

lead b 

on a.my_dupeid__c =b.id

WHERE

MY_DUPEID__c !=NULL

This has to be returned in 1 query.

Thanks in advance!

The original submitter doesn't have access to certain fields, let's say PO number and License Number.  These fields need to be updated during a specific reviewal/approval step.

Is it possible to validate that these fields have been filled in during a specific approval step?  And if not dissallow approval?

Any help is very appreciated. 

Hi,

We have a custom object that records the time that an event starts.  On creating this event it fires a SOAP packet to an external webservice.  This webservice treats the date as a string and doesn't perform any logic on it.  However, when the date reaches the external webservice the date is an hour out, the date was put into Salesforce as a BST date and appears to be exported as a GMT date.  I have checked the settings in our salesforce and it is set to BST Europe/London.  On exporting the users from our salesforce account their details match the accounts timezone. TIMEZONESIDKEY = 'Europe/London'.  there is no logic firing on the custom object side.  Any ideas what is going on here and how to fix it?

Thanks

Pete

I have created a custom object.

For that object i have created a tab.

I have created a new site, and i want to host this tab.

Can this be done?

Hi, I am pretty new to this and am hoping someone can help me.

Basically I want to create a button that will allow me to attach a number of secondary/sub custom objects to a primary custom object.

I would then be hoping to display the list of attached secondary/sub custom objects as a related list within the primary object.

I am missing something basic here and I don't know what it is.  How do you get the "Continue" and "Don't show me this again" buttons to be incorporated into the page?
