Looking at the documentation URL below there are attributes like itemDescription, title, and styleClass.  How can those be set from a controller when creating a list of SelectOptions to be shown in a SelectList.

The attribute's corresponding setters and getters seem to be confusing from the controller.  The documentation describes the attribute "itemEscaped" but the setter I've had to use is "setEscapeItem".

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_selectOption.htm

We have a rollup on Opportunity for Opportunity Products with criteria checking that a percent field is not equal to 100.

Sales_Discount__c Not Equal To 100

This is causing us issues because records that have a blank Sales_Discount__c value are being excluded.  If we put a zero or some other value then it gets included in the rollup fine.

Does this sound correct or are we missing something else?

I'm trying to get a pageblock to show like a standard related list with the icon for the object the pageblock will display.  If I set the tabStyle attribute of the pageBlock to the object it changes the border colors but does not display the icon.  How can I display the object icon too?

Salesforce.com Formula Editor

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cnlnnpnjccjcmecojdhgpknalcahkhio

Dynamically injects the Edit Area code editor into salesforce pages where formulas are edited.

Pros

- Syntax highlighting

- Tabbing (tab and shift-tab)

- Parenthesis matching

- Find and Replace

- No code wrapping

- Resize editor window by clicking bottom right corner

- Full screen feature

Cons

- Insert Field buttons will no longer insert the field. You can still browse the fields and then copy and paste the resulting field names though.

Is there anyway to search for workflows that have a value in their criteria or field updates?  It can be difficult at times when you are unfamiliar with a setup and you want to make changes but are afraid of breaking workflows.

I'm trying to generate links for creating new object records in Apex and I can't find where to obtain the id for an object so I can make a link to the recordtypeselect page which requires the "ent" parameter which is the object id.

Can I get the object Id using the describe methods?

Is there anything available for automatic formual formatting?  Mainly automatic indention/newlines to turn those left aligned messes and code blobs into readable hierarchies.

Is there some way I can use ApexPages.addMessage and have the apex:messages component render messages with some kind of severity indicator?

I have inline css in the head section of a component's markup.  If I place the component in an empty page then I see the text from the component and the css in the component applies fine to it.  If I change the page to render as PDF though the CSS from the component no longer applies.

I have an object named Assignment and a lookup field to another object named Action Plan.  I'm trying to create a custom link on Assignment that passes a value from the Action Plan record in the link.  The Action Plan value is always blank in the link though.  In the Assignment object custom link I'm referencing the Action Plan value like this {!Action_Plan__c.Custom_Value__c}.  Can this not be done?

I'm creating a custom chatter feed using visualforce and apex.  I can't find the value for the fileid that a contentpost created.  In the standard chatter feed if I click on the file title it sends me to a page showing the file and it appears to link to just the salesforce file id.  Can I get this id too?  I'm just wanting to give users an easy way to go to the file.

I have created a Visualforce page and added the standard detail view for an object.  If I click the "Always show me fewer / more records per related list" links a the bottom of the page they don't increase or decrease the amount of records.

Also, is there some way I could default my Visualforce page to always show more records for standard related list so all users get more records by default and don't have to click the links?  Could I update a cookie with some javascript or redirect them back to the same page with the "rowsperlist" querystring set for them to accomplish this?

I've been trying to deploy some apex but my test cases are failing.  I click View Log in the error window but Eclipse crashes and Eclipse completely closes.  I realize it's an our of memory exception but I don't know what else should be changed to avoid this.  I've tried setting -Xmx greater than 1g but then Eclipse won't open correctly, it throws an error.  Looking in my Eclipse folder I see this error file:

We've implemented quite a few custom buttons on our objects that do simple things like update a status field.  The custom buttons use scontrols to do this and this has worked great.  Our operations manager can understand the simple scontrols enough to update them and reuse the bits and pieces where he needs them.

With scontrols being replaced by visualforce, I'm worried that there will be much more development time required to implement very simple things like these custom buttons.  I've found the blog post below that explains how we can achieve the same custom button affect using custom buttons that point to visualforce pages.  The only issue is that I don't think our operations manager would be able to create buttons himself anymore whenever he needs them.  He'll have to create apex classes, write test methods, and figure out how to deploy apex from sandbox to production.  Also, we have so many apex triggers and test methods that it can take 30 minutes to deploy one simple new apex class because of all the other test methods that run.

Is there a better way to create these simple custom buttons that just need to update a status field so users don't have to click 5 times to update the field?  Are we going to have to set aside developer time to create these simple buttons now?

I've been working on a debug log parser project.  Some goals for it are below:

1. Quickly see what events (validation rules, workflow, triggers) are firing during actions in salesforce.
2. Make viewing the event hierarchy easier.
3. Easily identify workflows whose criteria evaluate to true.
4. Graph governor limit usage by event

Here is a preview screenshot:

Here is a link to the post.  Maybe this setup will be useful to others.  Also, is there a more specific location to submit things like this (helpful articles or project summaries)?

Is there anyway to search for workflows that have a value in their criteria or field updates?  It can be difficult at times when you are unfamiliar with a setup and you want to make changes but are afraid of breaking workflows.

I'm trying to generate links for creating new object records in Apex and I can't find where to obtain the id for an object so I can make a link to the recordtypeselect page which requires the "ent" parameter which is the object id.

Can I get the object Id using the describe methods?

I'm creating a custom chatter feed using visualforce and apex.  I can't find the value for the fileid that a contentpost created.  In the standard chatter feed if I click on the file title it sends me to a page showing the file and it appears to link to just the salesforce file id.  Can I get this id too?  I'm just wanting to give users an easy way to go to the file.

Adding the VF page as an inline object to a standard page layout is not a viable option for my implementation.

Does anyone know of an example of someone re-creating the Chatter bar in VF?

Hello,

I have come accross this problem a few times and still can't find a satisfactory solution. The issue is related to products. So I thought someone out htere must have also encountered it as it is a common structure that many companies would take to their products. 

I would like to bundle products so that when you select a product you then have a choice of selecting the breeakdown/makup of that product.  I need products and sub-products.

For example a single opp can be made up of the following main products and sub products, each requires a price associated with it;

Each opportunity can have several main products/ (packages/ bundles )

Blue Solution  100  (main product/ (package/ bundle ))

       Training 20     (sub product)

       Software 40   (sub product)

       hardware 40   (sub product)

Red Solution  80  (main product/ (package/ bundle ))

      Training 25     (sub product)

      Software 30    (sub product)

      hardware 25    (sub product)

I can't seem to achieve this so we have decided to have each segment listed as a product. For example the pricebook will no longer contain just Blue Solution, Red Solution it will have 

Blue Solution Training

Blue Solution Software

Blue Solution harware

Red Solution Training

Red Solution Software

Red Solution harware

and the sales rep picks these for each sale. 

That is all fine until you try to report on  the number of blue solutions sold in a month or year. Instead of getting the quantity of 5 blue solutions (no.of opportunities) you get 15 as it counts the number of line items (opportunity and product report required).

I have created a multi-picklist in the main opportunity so as to record what was sold, red solution;blue solution however a report will summarise by the combinations of those chosen and not by individual values in the picklist. 

I would be so grateful if anyone has any ideas on how to tackle this issue. I know so many companies out there do not simply sell straight forward products, they sell packages, so how do they deal with this?

I see the app exchange has a package called product bundles, but it doesn't really tackle the problem I am having. 

Thanks

We've implemented quite a few custom buttons on our objects that do simple things like update a status field.  The custom buttons use scontrols to do this and this has worked great.  Our operations manager can understand the simple scontrols enough to update them and reuse the bits and pieces where he needs them.

With scontrols being replaced by visualforce, I'm worried that there will be much more development time required to implement very simple things like these custom buttons.  I've found the blog post below that explains how we can achieve the same custom button affect using custom buttons that point to visualforce pages.  The only issue is that I don't think our operations manager would be able to create buttons himself anymore whenever he needs them.  He'll have to create apex classes, write test methods, and figure out how to deploy apex from sandbox to production.  Also, we have so many apex triggers and test methods that it can take 30 minutes to deploy one simple new apex class because of all the other test methods that run.

Is there a better way to create these simple custom buttons that just need to update a status field so users don't have to click 5 times to update the field?  Are we going to have to set aside developer time to create these simple buttons now?

I've been working on a debug log parser project.  Some goals for it are below:

1. Quickly see what events (validation rules, workflow, triggers) are firing during actions in salesforce.
2. Make viewing the event hierarchy easier.
3. Easily identify workflows whose criteria evaluate to true.
4. Graph governor limit usage by event

Here is a preview screenshot:

I want to set the tabstyle everytime a page is requested.  Is there any way to achieve this?  I tried this but I got an error that {!TabStyle} is an invalid tabstyle.
