Can anyone assist me adding the capability of adding a picture to a contact record? One would think I could go to page layout and select an image preview option or something. Support told me I needed to do this using visuaforce. Any help would be appreciated. I tried the picture uploader appexchange but it was failing like everyone else that tried to use the program. Thanks in advance.

We have an object that has 2 Master-Detail relationships, but are having trouble providing editing by standard users.  Is there any way to control the owner of a many-to-many relationship using Sharing Settings?

Thanks,

Has anyone figured out a way to access to the HTTP body of a post to a Salesforce site?  We're basically looking for an unauthenticated servlet type listener using Sites.

Thanks,

Force.com gurus,

Are there any plans to support unauthenticated Apex REST?  We really need the ability to have outside systems post data to our customer's Salesforce accounts and those systems don't have the capability to authenticate.  So, we're basically looking for a servlet type listener.

Thanks,
Jon

p.s. -- we've looked at using Sites for this, but there's currently no way to access to the HTTP body of the request.

We wrote a trigger on the Product2 object, which works about 98% of the time.  However, there are a few products that always get the error "The record you attempted to access has been deleted. The user who deleted this record may be able to recover it from the Recycle Bin. Deleted data is stored in the Recycle Bin for 15 days." when the product is updated.

We've triple checked the log files, added a try/catch to the trigger and upsert calls, but there isn't nothing specifiying which record has been deleted, so we can't figure out how to resolve this issue.  We've included filters for IsDeleted in our queries and checks to make sure the custom fields don't have "_del__c" on them in the Sobject describe logic.

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Jon

Please vote for the new "Dynamic Custom Button" idea on the IdeaExchange:

https://sites.secure.force.com/success/ideaView?c=09a30000000D9xtAAC&id=08730000000abxDAAQ&mc=0

Here are some screenshots of how this might look:

Or:

We're getting "Field is not writeable" errors when we try to set field values via an ActionFunction on a custom object, where the Site has access to modify those fields.

Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix??

Is there any way to create new custom fields from Apex?

Is there any way to including HTML in our text formulas?  We tried to use HTMLENCODE, but we get the following error message:

"Error: Function HTMLENCODE may not be used in this type of formula"

Ideally, we could bold text and add image links based on the status of other fields, but can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks,

Jon

Has anyone figured out how to get around the JSONObject "Too many script statements" error?

Also, now with the REST API being GA in Spring '11, when are we getting native JSON processing support?

Thanks,

Jon

Does anyone know how to programmatically control the VisualForce HTTP response based on an incoming HTTP post parameter?

For example:

<apex:page showHeader="false" contentType="text/xml" controller="HttpController" action="{!processRequest}"> 

<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!action='getmodule'}">
	<Response moduleVersion="3.0.1" schemaVersion="1.0.0" >
		<Module>
			<Platform>Force.com</Platform>
			<Capabilities>
			    <DownloadStrategy>ByModifiedTime</DownloadStrategy>
			</Capabilities>
		</Module>
	</Response>
</apex:outputPanel>
<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!action='getcount'}">
	<Response moduleVersion="3.0.1" schemaVersion="1.0.0" >
		<count>1</count>
	</Response>
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:page>

Or, maybe we can control the XML output in the controller?

Thanks,

Jon

Will there be a Spring '11 Developer Preview and if so, when will it start?  Also, are there release notes yet for the next release?

We are trying to call the following managed package method, but it's not even entering the method:

@future (callout=true)

global static void syncInventory(Map<String, Integer> params);

Is this possible?

Some of our clients are experiencing random "Insufficient Privileges" errors on our managed Visualforce page that's embedded inside the Case object.  It appears to be happening on both IE, Safari and Firefox, but goes away after some time or if they switch browsers...

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Does Salesforce provide any way to authenticate apex WebService methods in Sites?  If not, are there any feasible ways to self-authenticate these types of requests?

Thanks,

We're trying to use the new "Rich Text Area" Data Type in our VisualForce pages, but getting the following error:

"Error: Invalid field Main_Content__c for SObject CloudConversion__Portal_Content__c"

This is supported yet?  Is there a special trick to get it to work?

Thanks,

Jon 

<apex:outputText escape="false" value="{!content.Main_Content__c}"/>

I am trying to create an OrgWideEmailAddress in apex (via an insert in a testmethod) but I'm getting the message "Save error: DML not allowed on OrgWideEmailAddress" on compile. Any ideas on why this create is not being allowed? The OrgWideEmailAddress object specifies supported calls of: create(), delete(), query(), retrieve(), update().

OrgWideEmailAddress newOwea1 = new OrgWideEmailAddress(Address='testOwea1@test.com',DisplayName='TestOwea1');
OrgWideEmailAddress newOwea2 = new OrgWideEmailAddress(Address='testOwea2@test.com',DisplayName='TestOwea1');
insert newOwea1;
insert newOwea2;

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any experience/example code with setting a sites page to function as a listener/handler for an http POST?

Hi All,

I'm the Product Manager for packaging here at salesforce.com.  We're currently working on a feature that would allow fields and objects to be removed from managed packages.  This is a popular request and something we're hoping to deliver very soon, but we need your help.  Please respond to this post with any thoughts around this topic.  I've included a few questions to get the conversation going:

• Why do you want to remove these?  No longer used?  Customers didn't like them?  Replace with a new field?

• When you deprecate a field/object, what should happen for existing customers?  New customers?

• Would you have to remove all usage of a field/object in your app before you can deprecate it?  What happens if you've included the field in another formula field, etc?
