I want to convert a decimal to a string and force a certain format,  someting analogous to "##0.00" with the DecimalFormat class in Java.

If I use the format method, there's no control of the form.  When the value is 0, I get "0" whereas I want "0.00".

Is there any formatting facilty in Apex?

This is for going input a VF page but it's not an SObject field so I can use OuputField.

I'm developing an application that contains multiple custom objects whose records function as more or less static data that is looked up in another custom object by the user.

I'm talking accounts, currencies etc except there are around 10 custom objects in all.

I want to have a single page that lets me select the custom object type from a drop down and display something similar to the default controller's list view.

So far, I've just been showing and hiding blocks of html to achieve this result but it's not really an ideal way of doing this in terms of code reuse. Is there any more generic way I can display info about multiple custom objects on a single page?

I'm sending an email with attachments using SingleEmailMessage. An EmailFileAttachment[] List is created to contain the attachments which are within the specified 10mb limit for all attachments but when the attachments exceed 2mb in size the Apex heap size limit is exceeded.

My question simply is this: how are files, of up to 10mb, attached to an email using the SingleEmailMessage class without getting 'System.Exception: Apex heap size too large'?

// Create EmailMessage and assign parameters
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage(); 
mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
mail.setCcAddresses(ccAddresses);
mail.setReplyTo('support@acme.com');
mail.setSenderDisplayName('Support');
mail.setSubject('New Case Created : ' + case.Id);
mail.setBccSender(false);
mail.setUseSignature(false);
mail.setPlainTextBody('Your Case: ' + case.Id +' has been created');
mail.setTargetObjectId(case.contactId);
mail.setWhatId(case.Id);

// Set email file attachments
List<Messaging.Emailfileattachment> fileAttachments = new List<Messaging.Emailfileattachment>();
for (Attachment a : [select Name, Body, BodyLength 
                     from Attachment
                     where ParentId = :case.Id])
{
  // Add to attachment file list
  Messaging.Emailfileattachment efa = new Messaging.Emailfileattachment();
  efa.setFileName(a.Name);
  efa.setBody(a.Body);
  fileAttachments.add(efa);
}
mail.setFileAttachments(fileAttachments);

// Send email
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail })

I came up against this issue a couple of months back, posted it, but got no response. So apologies, I'm posting again in the hope that I can finally find a solution.

Would appreciate any responses on this one, even if it's half a guess. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, 

i'm trying to use Rich Text Field on a Salesforce site's page with a custom controller. 

I updated both the controller and Visualforce page version at 18.0 :

- the controller, after this save, works correctly 
- but when i try to saving the version of this visualforce page, the error will appear is: 
"Error: Invalid field Description__c for SObject Ospitalita__c" 
(Description__c is the Rich Text Field) 


For your info, if i insert this rich text field in a empty visualforce page, it works correctly. 
But i give the error in my site pages , which have the template tags (apex:composition and apex:insert) . 

Are "this tags" the problem? 

How can i fix it? 
I need apex:composition and apex:insert and i don't want to delete them or substitute with component.

Thanks in advance!! 

Hello,

I wish to know using the excel connector or Apex Data Loader is there a way to filter records that do have an attachment attached to it for either a custom or standard object and if it was a boolean what field would I be looking at?

Basically I want to know how many records I extract using either the excel connector or Apex Data Loader that does have a document attached to it and if possible how many attachments if there is more than one.

Thanks

Is there any way to change or delete a Scheduled Job ?  I am able to create one easily enough, but once it is made I can only look at the values in the CronTrigger object, but not update them.  Also, it seems I cannot delete them.  I also looked at the System.AbortJob method, but that seems to only stop a job that is already running - I get an error if I try it on a Queued job.

The reason I am doing this is to try to create a 'sliding' job.  So, when a trigger is fired the job will run in 5 minutes.  But if the trigger is fired again before that 5 minutes is up, it will find the old job and either delete it and make a new one for 5 minutes out, or update the old one so the next scheduled time is in 5 minutes.

Any ideas are welcome!

Hey guys

I am trying to debug an issue with deploying files to a production instance.  In doing so, I want to run a single test class in order to examine the debug log.

However, when I do Force.com -> Run Tests on the test class that I want, the debug log shows the log for all unit tests for some reason.  Because of this, the log quickly is filled up and is truncated with the note:

*********** MAXIMUM DEBUG LOG SIZE REACHED ***********

... and therefore I am unable to see the log for the test class that I selected.

How can I run a single test class in a Production environment so that I can view log for just that class?

I'm trying to disable a commandButton on my VF page on click because I'm invoking a possibly long running action in my controller (10 seconds or more), and I wish to prevent the user from clicking the button again, and double submitting. I tried doing this using a simple javascript onclick function that disables the button and returns true. This doesn't work because once I disable the button in javascript, the action method doesn't get invoked in my controller. Any other suggestions?

I have a Sites page that dynamically generates a PDF from a custom CMS. As part of that page, I would like to dynamically include certain images throughout, accessed from Static Resources, in sections of HTML generated by the Apex Controller through the use of <apex:outputText value="{!someGetter}" escape="false" />.

If the page is not set to renderAs="pdf", I can access Static Resource images in the return value of the Apex method like this:

return '<img src="resource/ResourceName">';

However, if I set renderAs="pdf" so that the page renders as PDF, the images show up broken. I've tried a few different ways of accessing the Static Resource, including the full URL, as well as linking to images off-site, like the Google Logo. I've even tried embedding the image into the text, using Base64. It seems like the only way to include an image in a PDF is to have it directly in the VisualForce page, which is inconsistent with the rendering of a regular VF page. Is this a bug, or is there some way to accomplish what I'm trying to do here?

Thanks,

Tom

This is for going input a VF page but it's not an SObject field so I can use OuputField.

On a standard Salesforce edit page, when the save button is clicked, the button immediately grays out and prevents the user from clicking the button multiple times.  I'm trying to get the same effect on a VFP but I am having no luck.  Has anybody already done this?  I don't know if it's pertinent, but my save button is calling a method called Save in a custom controller.

<apex:pageBlockButtons > <apex:commandButton action="{!Save}" value="Save" id="saveBtn" /> </apex:pageBlockButtons>

Is there a way to do this?

I have several VisualForce pages I am using the generate PDF documents.  I find that I cannot seem to control simple layout and style items, such as the format for table headers and the type of font used for the document, using in-line CSS when these pages render as PDFs.  I am easily able to control these elements using in-line CSS when I render these pages as HTML.

This is important as several VisualForce elements do not let me define style attributes for an element. I have to use in-line CSS classes to pass to the element's appropriate 'style' attribute.  An example of this is the 'apex: DataTable'element, which requires I pass it a CSS class to the 'headerClass' and 'rowClasses' attributes.

However, it is as if the PDF rendering engine is ignoring my in-line CSS.  Is there any way to force the PDF engine to use my CSS, so I can get a PDF output which matches my HTML output?

Is there an easy way to only display the Time of a DateTime object in VisualForce?

Also is there an easy way to display the Day-of-the-week like 'Friday' in VisualForce?

Currently, I'm using a switch statement taken from the pdf on Formulas, but am wondering if there is a better method:

{!CASE(MOD( TODAY() - DATE(1900, 1, 7), 7),0, "Sunday",1, "Monday",2, "Tuesday",3, "Wednesday",4, "Thursday",5, "Friday",6, "Saturday", "Error")}

Thanks
