I am trying to use the PHP Toolkit using the sample code provided here: http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Getting_Started_with_the_Force.com_Toolkit_for_PHP 

I am able to successfully connect and extract Lead information from my org, but then after a period of inactivity I get the exceptions below. 

In my Session Settings I have "Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated" checked but that hasn't made a difference. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction? 

EXCEPTION MESSAGES:

I have been provided a spreadsheet that has a list of accounts without the corresponding Salesforce account record ID. What are my options for getting the IDs into the spreadsheet next to the appropriate account name? I need to do this to run some updates through the Apex Data Loader.

I need to have a date of a Next Activity task in an Opportunity report. I can show the Last Activity without a problem but I don't see any obvious way to get Next Activity. Is there some way that I can create a Next Activity field? Would I need to use workflow or an Apex trigger?

Is there any way to rename a standard field? For example if I wanted to give the Activity Task field "Subject" a different name. Previous forum question seem to talk about changing the tab names via "Tab Names and Labels" but that's not what I'm looking for.

Is there any possible way I can create a Text Area (Long) field type for an Activity Task? I don't see any option for this when creating a custom field. I need it badly.

 

There seems to be a lot of random limitations when working with Activity Tasks and Events which is very frustrating. 

It doesn't seem like there is any way to edit the name of an Opportunity Stage once it is created. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do it?

I'm creating some reports based on Campaigns but the option to add a date filter is not there like it is when you report on most other objects. What am I missing here? If I want a report based on all campaigns that took place in 2010 and 2011, how would I do this?

I am trying to get my company to switch from Unlimited to Enterprise Edition. They are thinking of moving off of Salesforce altogether and I'm hoping if I can get the costs lower they will change their mind. Has anyone done this type of downgrade? Is it hard and are there complications or is it just as simple as flipping a switch?

I know you can use ISCHANGED() to see if 1 or more fields have changed as workflow rule criteria, but what if I want to run my workflow rule when any field is changed in an Opportunity Record? I would want to check if there was any change made to the entire record. Is there a way to check for that?

 

 

I temporarily deactivated an Approval Process because I need to remove some of the Approval Steps. I still don't see any options for removing them. I see remove links for Initial Submission Actions, Final Approval Actions , Final Rejection Actions but not in the Approval Steps section. What gives?

Is there any way to do a 4 column Dashboard layout (instead of 3) and if so can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it?  

Why can't I edit an Opportunity Stage Name after I've created it? I can edit all of the other Stage properties (Type, Probability, etc) but not Stage Name.

I just recently upgraded to the new version of the Hoover's app for Salesforce and now all of my custom links don't work. I understand why the links don't work - because of the new Hoover's website structure. What I'd like to know is if anyone got custom links working using the new URL.

I am trying to create a formula field with a Case statement that has 2 other number fields added together for it's parameter. It looks like this:

 

CASE ((Custom_Number Field_1__c +  Custom_Number Field_2__c), >=100, "Value is Greater than 100", >=50, "Value is Greater than 50",  >=1, "Value is Greater than 1")

 

I keep trying to alter the syntax slightly, but no matter what I get one of 2 error messages:

Error: Incorrect number of parameters for function 'CASE()'. Expected 6, received 7

or

Error: Syntax error. Found '>='

 

What am I doing wrong? Is it even possible to do a Case statement like this or do I have to switch to an IF?

 

Is there a way to change a field type based on it's value? I have a roll-up field that sums Opportunity Quantities but if no Opportunity Products have been entered and therefore the sum is 0 my client would like the field to temporarily be a number field where they can manually enter numbers.

 

 

I deleted 2 roll-ups fields under the Accounts object because I was at my limit of 10 and I needed to repurpose them (I'm doing this in my Sandbox if it matters). It's been about 24 hours but when I try to add new roll-ups under Accounts I am still getting the message: 

 

Is it possible to create a picklist under Accounts whose values come dynamically from another Account field? The field I would pull from would be the Account Record Type although I would need to use use a formula to filter out some values.

I am trying to create a trigger that sends an Email Alert (or just an email though Apex code) to the original Idea poster whenever a comment is left for their idea. In looking through the Apex documentation, I noticed it says you can only define triggers for top-level standard objects, but not for standard child objects. When I try to do something like this:

 

 

trigger commentEmail on IdeaComment (after insert) {
// send email code here
}

 

I get "Error: Compile Error: SObject type does not allow triggers: IdeaComment at line 1 column 25". Can anyone point in the right direction to get around this?

I am trying to trigger a workflow when I create a Campaign Member. In the Salesforce help files, it says that this can be done whenever a new lead is created from your website using the web to lead. I am not creating leads and campaign members through web to lead though, I am doing it through .NET and the Force API. Can anyone recommend a good approach for triggering a workflow off a Campaign Member in my scenario?
