I have created some pages using Sites and have linked it with the Customer Portal Login. I am trying to set up SSO for my customers to login into sites. I am trying to use OpenSSO. Can anyone please share steps on setting this up.

We tried few sample settings and it returns to the default Customer Portal page and not to the sites.

Hi,

 

When building an App in Salesforce.com that will integrate with external systems, can we save the salesforce user credentials outside so that the system may connect with Salesforce.com using the partner WSDL.

 

Else is there any other method through which we can have a 2 way integration with an external system.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I have 2 custom objects Obj1 and Obj2, Obj2 has a lookup reference to Obj1. I am trying to make the lookup reference field show up as a Picklist so that users may select the value from the drop down option rather than the pop-up window for the lookup.

If the above request can be achieved using Visualforce pages, any pointers on doing the same would be helpful.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I am trying to export information from Salesforce as xml that can be used by another application locally. I wrote a controller class that will help me in parsing the xml tags and inserting the values. I then created a visualforce page that will provide the option of showing the xml string.

 

The controller code is

/* This is the controller class to export the required quote infomation as xml for further use in a dot net based program. */public class quotesController { /* Declaring the objects, variables and other items that will be used through out this class. */ Quote__c quotes; Quote_Line__c quoteLines; Id quoteId; List<Quote_Line__c> quoteLinesList = new List<Quote_Line__c>(); /* To make the class as the extension for the standard controller for the visualforce page calculateTax. We also get the Quote id here for which we are going to calculate the tax for. */ public quotesController(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) { this.quotes = (Quote__c)stdController.getRecord(); quotes = [select Id, Name, Quote_Name__c, Total__c from Quote__c where Id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')]; quoteId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id'); } /* This function is to query for the quote line items for the particular quote. Save the result of the query to the list and make the list as the return value of this function. */ public List<Quote_Line__c> getquoteLines() { quoteLinesList = [select Id, Name, Line_Item__c, Rate__c from Quote_Line__c where Quote_Number__r.Id = :quoteId]; return quoteLinesList; } /* This function is to create the xml tags and the populate them with the related values. */ public string getxmlOutput() { Integer i; String total = quotes.Total__c.format(); String rate; XmlStreamWriter xmlValues = new XmlStreamWriter(); xmlValues.writeStartDocument(null,'1.0'); xmlValues.writeProcessingInstruction('target','data'); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'CalculateTax',null); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'Quotes',null); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteId',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(quotes.Id); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteNumber',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(quotes.Name); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteName',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(quotes.Quote_Name__c); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteTotal',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(total); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); for(i = 0; i<quoteLinesList.size(); i++) { rate = quoteLinesList[i].Rate__c.format(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteLines',null); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteLineId',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(quoteLinesList[i].Id); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteLineNumber',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(quoteLinesList[i].Name); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteLineName',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(quoteLinesList[i].Line_Item__c); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeStartElement(null,'QuoteLineRate',null); xmlValues.writeCharacters(rate); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeEndElement(); } xmlValues.writeEndElement(); xmlValues.writeEndDocument(); String xmlStringOutput = xmlValues.getXmlString(); xmlValues.close(); return xmlStringOutput; }}

 

 The visualforce code is

 

<!-- The visual force page that will help to export the values from the controller extension class quotesController.--><apex:page standardController="Quote__c" extensions="quotesController" contentType="text/xml" cache="true"> <!-- contentType="text/xml-external-parsed-entity" cache="true"> --> <apex:pageBlock > <apex:repeat value="{!quoteLines}" var="qln"></apex:repeat> <apex:outputText value="{!xmlOutput}"> </apex:outputText> </apex:pageBlock></apex:page>

 

The first problem that i faced was that i was not able to save the output as a file. For this i used the content type text/xml-external-parsed-entity. Using this content type i was able to save it as a file.

 

The other problem i am not able to resolve is the fact that the output is getting wrapped inside html code. Like

f(!window.sfdcPage){window.sfdcPage = new ApexPage();} UserContext.initialize({'locale':'en_US','timeFormat':'h:mm a','today':'2\/6\/2010 12:40 AM','userPreferences':[{'value':false,'index':112,'name':'HideInlineEditSplash'} ,{'value':false,'index':114,'name':'OverrideTaskSendNotification'} ,{'value':false,'index':115,'name':'DefaultTaskSendNotification'} ,{'value':false,'index':119,'name':'HideUserLayoutStdFieldInfo'} ,{'value':false,'index':116,'name':'HideRPPWarning'} ,{'value':false,'index':87,'name':'HideInlineSchedulingSplash'}

 

 Please help in getting only the xml tags.

 

Thanks

Hi,

I have created a custom list button and want to add this to the list view as well as related lists. I was able to add this custom button to the related list, but not to the standard list page.

Hi,

Hi,

I have a custom object with 5 different record types. I have visual force pages for each of the record type and a home page of sorts that gives the picklist for the record types just like the standard salesforce page. I did a override for the new button with my page, but what happens is that the standard salesforce page with the record types comesfirst and then it takes me to my page with the similar list. How do i take out the standard page?

Thanks

Hi,

I am using a visualforce page to override 'New' for an object called Obj1. This object is also part of a related list in another custom object Obj2.

Hi, I am trying to sum up the values of a number field in an object for a particular function, when attempting to do that I encounter an error message in the for loop. The section of code is as below

Object1__c[] obj1 = [select Id, Name, Qty__c from Object1__c where lookup1id__c = :param1 and lookup2id = :param2]; for(Integer i = 0; i <= obj1.size(); i++) {

totalqty = totalqty + obj1[i].Qty__c;

}

here param1 and param2 are values that are passed from the UI to the controller. This error appears inside the forloop for the condition. I am not sure why and how to handle this.

Hi,

I am using a visualforce page and would like to add some error messages into it for example if some field is empty etc...... I do not want to set a validation rule, but would like to work on the save function in the controller to display the error message. Would be of great help if someone could point me out the direction to do that.

I have one more question relating to displaying an output in visualforce. I have a lookup field, it has quantity field too, i would like to populate the quantity from the master object, if i change the lookup the value for quantity should also change respectively, I tried formulas but they effect after save, I would like to have immediate change.

Thanks

Hi All, I have a question, I am trying to create a query to be passed to the datatable based on a value from VisualForce UI, though the query compiles it takes the value as null. for eg. the query line is similar to

object2list = [select id, name, field1__c, field2__c from Object2 where object1__c =: paramval];

1. Object1__c is a related to Object2.

2.paramval is the value passed to the controller from the UI using the apex:param tag.

3. query produces table taking the paramval to be null

4. If I substitue it with the Id the query returns proper data table.

5. If I use the paramval else where and it takes the value properly and am able to save it too.

I am trying to do this so that I can have dependent lookup, the value of paramval will be the id for the value choosen for Object1__c.

Thanks

KD 

I am using Visualforce and APEX to save records for a Custom object Obj__c. I would like to add the recordtype in the save. Could someone tell me how to do so. Currently I am trying

Obj__c o = new Obj__c(f1__c = 'xxxx', f2__c = 'xxxx', RecordType.Name = 'xxxx');

Insert o;

I get some errorrs "Error: Compile Error: Invalid field initializer: RecordType.Name".

Please help me, how can I insert the recordtype name.

Thanks

Hi all,

 I am trying to create a dependent lookup using apex controllers and vf pages. I am using inputtext and apex param to pass the value of one of the lookupfields to the controller and then using that to query other 2 lists. The problem I face is that the value passed to the controller keeps changing to null and does not query the proper list.

 I inserted the debug logs and found out the when I first call the page the queries are all run returing the value for the controlling lookup as null, when i select the value for the controlling lookup field, i can find in the debug logs that the query is executed and the appropriate lists are taken, but before returning the list, the controlling field value returns to null and thus the dependent list is not populating properly.

need some help on this as I am not able to proceed further.

Thanks in advance

KD 

I am using inputtext to get a value and then passing it to the controller, where i am using it to filter some lookup values. Though both the controller and VF page complie properly, i do not see the result appropriately.

Codes related to it

public String getassetval() { return this.assetval; } public void setassetval(String el) { this.assetval = el; } plist = [select Id from Product2 where Id in (Select Product__c from Account_Asset__c where name = :assetval)];

 Would like to know if this is enough for it to caputre the text in the Inputtext and pass it the controller to use it in the query. If yes, how do i findout if the variable has the value or not. If not what is the correct way to proceed.

 

Thanks

Opportunity to customize a customer portal for a company focused on helping non-profit organizations increase productivity.  The portal would need to be well designed visually to integrate with the company's website.  It would be a simple design, focused on limited tabs and a knowledge base.  Short turn around time.  Added benefit if you have knowledge of building custom mobile apps.   The app would require API with other databases within non-profit industry (i.e., etapestry).  I look forward to hearnig form you!

Hi

 

I am fairly new to Force.com development and have hit an issue trying to build some relationships on a custom object.

 

I have an 'Assessment' custom object with a custom lookup field to a 'Claim' custom object.  I want to build a further custom lookup field on Assessment: 'Claim Contact' that looks up from another custom object, but this object is the detail in a master-detail relationship with the Claim object. 

 

I want to know how to constrain the 'Claim Contact' lookup so that it only shows values that are related to the Claim that has already been looked up on to the Assessment.

 

i.e. if the Assessment is linked to Claim A, which has child Contacts Jack and Jill, then these should be the only contacts I am able to pick using the 'Claim Contact' lookup on the Assessment.  If the assessment is not linked to any Claim then I need the lookup to return no results.

 

Is there a configuration solution to this or if not does anyone know what the best approach is to do this?

 

Many thanks in advance!

There were a few times I thought I may have been literally losing my mind trying to isolate this issue but I was finally able to nail down the steps to reproduce (and solution). Sometimes the param value is not being assign to the variable in the controller.

Here is the code to reproduce. I tried to make it as short as possible but sorry it is still a little long, see steps below code:

In the process of building out a Visualforce page I have run into an error I am not sure how to handle. I have an inputText field that maps to an Integer variable in the controller. It works great if the user enters in a Integer. Yet if they enter letters or decimal the logic fails in the controller and the debug log shows the following ...

j_id0:j_id1:j_id2: An error occurred when processing your submitted information.

...and the page appears to do nothing, no displayed errors or anything:

It would be great if the VF page automatically displayed an error message similar to what is does for inputFields. Something like "Invalid Integer" or what ever data type it  is supposed to be. I've attached code below that compares the behaviors.

What should I do to handle this? Its looking like I will have to use a string variable and then convert that to an integer but then I will need to catch any errors if the conversion fails which intern requires more unit tests. More work than I'd like to do if possible.

Ideas, thoughts?
