I currently set up our custom buttons with

https://na8.salesforce.com/a0C/e? 

When I go into the sandbox I have to modify the intance number. Someone told me you can exclude the instance so you don't have to modify sandbox custom buttons.

What is the short cut?

I am looking to list an app I developed on the appExchange.  The app contains a VF component with a js library that talks to a label printer and also includes a few JS remoting calls to fetch some data from the component controller.  Does this fit within the context of a web service, therefore requiring a burp scan for the app security review?  It doesn't seem to me that it would, but I'm a little bit confused.

I am looking to query data from multiple objects and combine it into one list that can be sorted.

For example, I'd like to grab a string and datetime field from various records in different objects (related only by contact), combine the data into one list, and sort on datetime.  This data should then be made available for display on a visualforce page. The end result will be an ordered timeline of "events" for a particular contact record.

What are some recommended approaches to achieving this result?  I appreciate the help!

I am in the process of converting one of my VF pages to a component so that it can be easily reused across objects.

In my VF page I implement a standard controller with an extension class.  The constructor of my extension class pulls in the record from the standard controller so I can perform some describe methods on it:

public myControllerExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        
        Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objDescribe = controller.getRecord().getSObjectType().getDescribe();
        ...
}

What is the best way to replicate this in the component controller?  I'm aware that the component controller does not have access to the standard controller, with the exception of using attributes to pass some information in.  Are attributes the right way to go?  Would I use an extension class in my page to generate the necessary values to assign to my controller attributes?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Oh this seems so simple, yet I'm stuck!

Here's what I have now in my controller:

    public date d {
        get{
            d = date.today();
            return d;
            }
            set;
       }
    
    
    public List<event> all {
    get {
    all = [select subject, activitydate, location from Event where activitydate = :d Order By location ASC];
    return all;
    }
    set;
    }

All is peachy and the page loads up Today()'s info just fine.

Now, what I really want to do is load up the page initially with today's date and resulting info, but also have a button called "Next" that will add 1 day to the current date and update an outputPanel on my page with the new query results when clicked.

I know I need to add a function for the button action, but I'm not sure how to change the code above to manipulate the date variable accordingly.

Thanks in advance for any help you might provide!

Hi Folks,

I have a custom child object of Contact called Inquiry_History__c.  I developed a trigger so that whenever an inquiry history record is created that meets certain criteria, a task is created and assigned to the user specified in the inquiry history custom "Owner" field (a lookup to USER, automatically assigned via workflow upon creation).

Everything works as anticipated when adding records the good 'ole fashioned way.  However, I have a form hosted on VF sites that creates a Contact and associated inquiry history record that is now flashing the "Authorization Required' page on submit.

Where should I begin to look for the cause of this?  I'm not sure how I can debug this process to figure out why the webform is being halted.

Trigger:

trigger callInquiry on Inquiry_History__c (after insert) {

List<Task> taskList = new List<Task>();

    for (Integer i=0; i<trigger.new.size(); i++) {
    
        if(
        (Trigger.new[i].XStudent_Type__c == 'FF') && 
        ((Trigger.new[i].XCollege__c == 'RSC') || (Trigger.new[i].XCollege__c == 'SCA'))) {
            taskList.add(
                new Task(
                    whatid=Trigger.new[i].Id,
                    whoid=Trigger.new[i].XContact__c,
                    OwnerId=Trigger.new[i].XOwner__c,
                    Subject='Call New Inquiry',
                    ActivityDate = Date.today()+7
            ));
        }
    
    }
    
    insert taskList;

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I have a custom controller extension for a CampaignMember VF page that looks like:

public class landingSave {

public CampaignMember cm;
    
    public landingSave(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
        this.cm = (CampaignMember)stdController.getRecord();
    }

    
    public PageReference submit() {
   
        update cm;

        PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('http://www.someaddress.com');

    return pageRef;
  }

}

 My test class currently looks like:

@isTest
private class TestlandingSave{

static testMethod void mylandingSave() {


PageReference pageRef = Page.Discover;
Test.setCurrentPage(pageRef);

Lead l = new Lead(lastname='smith');
Campaign c = new Campaign(Name='test campaign');
CampaignMember cm = new CampaignMember(lead=l, campaign=c, status='sent');

ApexPages.StandardController sc = new ApexPages.StandardController(cm);
landingSave controller = new landingSave(sc);
	<!-- I THINK I'M MISSING SOMETHING HERE -->
cm.XEmail__c = 'acme@gmail.com';


String nextPage = controller.submit().getUrl();

System.assertEquals('http://www.someaddress.com', nextPage);

 }
}

Any pointers?!  Thanks :smileyhappy:

A couple of questions here:

1)  Does this URL Rewriter class look functional?  I thought I read that I didn't necessarily need the second generateURL function, but I'm not sure.

global with sharing class myRewriter implements Site.UrlRewriter {

String VIP_PAGE = '/VIP/';
String VIP_VISUALFORCE_PAGE = '/VIP?id=';

global PageReference mapRequestUrl(PageReference
myFriendlyUrl){
String url = myFriendlyUrl.getUrl();
if(url.startsWith(VIP_PAGE)){
String name = url.substring(VIP_PAGE.length(),
url.length());

Lead ld = [select id from Lead where XUniqueSearchId__c =:
name LIMIT 1];

return new PageReference(VIP_VISUALFORCE_PAGE + ld.id);
}

return null;
}

global List<PageReference> generateUrlFor(List<PageReference>
mySalesforceUrls){

return null;
}

}

2) What should the test class for this consist of?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide!

Despite much researching and reading, I'm not quite grasping the controller test class documentation or examples.  If anyone can help me get going with a test class for this, I would greatly appreciate it!

Step 2 simply displays the data entered on the form and provides a "back" button to go back and edit the information and a "submit" button to execute the save() action.

I am looking to create a Visualforce page that will serve as a data collection form on our website.  The user will ultimately be creating a contact record (linked to an existing account via a lookup) and then several child records (inquiry history, extra curricular interests, family relationships, etc.)  I would like the user to have the ability to create more than one of any of these child records during this process.

Visual:

Contact (1)
--Inquiry History (1)
--Extra Curricular Interests (Many)
--Family Relationships (Many)
--Test Scores (Many)

1)  Is this feasible?

2) What technique is best suited for this type of action?

Hi Folks!

We are looking to link to files stored locally on our file server via a URL field on a custom object.

Thinking about how to do this securely, I initially thought about configuring the directory to only allow external connections from the salesforce domain.  Our network admin brought up the possibility of IP spoofing which would then give access to our files (containing sensitive data).

What other security measures / features can you think of that would help us make this secure?

I have a visualforce page with a custom controller hosted on Sites.  The page creates a contact record and several other custom object records simultaneously.  In order to link the contact to an account, I have added the Account Lookup field from the contact object.

I have set the guest user profile to allow Read permissions on Accounts and also checked the field level security.  Everything looks okay, but when I go out onto the Site and attempt to use the lookup it complains about authentication.  Is it possible to get around this or is there another method I should be considering?

Still learning the ropes here and probably have some very ill formed code - so, any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Here is the scenario of what I am trying to accomplish:

We have two custom objects (related via lookup field on Essay object):  Applications & Essays.  I have created a custom field on the Applications object called XEssays_On_File.  When an Essay record is added/updated, I would like the XEssays_On_File field to get updated with the number of related Essay Records. (Can't use rollup fields as this is not a master-detail relationship)

I have drafted the following code - which works for single situations - but fails mercilessly in bulk update:

trigger CountRelatedEssays on TargetX_SRMb__Essay__c (after insert, after update) {

        TargetX_SRMb__Essay__c [] ess = Trigger.new;
        String appid = null;
        appid = ess[0].TargetX_SRMb__Application__c;
       
        Integer i = [select count() from TargetX_SRMb__Essay__c where TargetX_SRMb__Application__c =     :appid];
       
        TargetX_SRMb__Application__c [] app =[select id, XEssays_On_File__c from TargetX_SRMb__Application__c where id = :appid];

        app[0].XEssays_On_File__c = i;   
       
        update app[0];
       

}

I would also like this to fire and update on Delete as well.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I have a custom object called Zip_Table that holds Zip Code specific information.  Is it possible to set a trigger on so that when a contact record is saved, it pulls the information related to their Zip Code into some custom fields on the Contact layout?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

}

A couple of questions here:

1)  Does this URL Rewriter class look functional?  I thought I read that I didn't necessarily need the second generateURL function, but I'm not sure.

global with sharing class myRewriter implements Site.UrlRewriter {

String VIP_PAGE = '/VIP/';
String VIP_VISUALFORCE_PAGE = '/VIP?id=';

global PageReference mapRequestUrl(PageReference
myFriendlyUrl){
String url = myFriendlyUrl.getUrl();
if(url.startsWith(VIP_PAGE)){
String name = url.substring(VIP_PAGE.length(),
url.length());

Lead ld = [select id from Lead where XUniqueSearchId__c =:
name LIMIT 1];

return new PageReference(VIP_VISUALFORCE_PAGE + ld.id);
}

return null;
}

global List<PageReference> generateUrlFor(List<PageReference>
mySalesforceUrls){

return null;
}

}

2) What should the test class for this consist of?

 Has anyone used  the Lightbox Visualforce component provided by force.com labs to call a visualforce page

The link for the App on Appexchage is
