I created a simple view page that can be triggered from a contact list. The code is fully tested and uploaded as a package here (no password):

 

https://login.salesforce.com/?startURL=%2Fpackaging%2FinstallPackage.apexp%3Fp0%3D04t80000000YNFO

 

In order to use it, you need to add the Test list button in the package to the Contacts List View in the contact serach layout.

 

if you use a contact list such as "all contacts which last name starts with M" or "My contacts", it works fine.

 

When using a contact list with the list definition criteria Filter By Campaign (Optional): ,selecting any campaign, opening the view and pushing the button, the following error message appears:

 

SELECT id FROM Contact WHERE ((CampaignId = '70180000000F7kn')) ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:32 No such column 'CampaignId' on entity 'Contact'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

As if the system was trying to pass the campaign ID to the standardsetcontroller insteads of the resulting list of contacts.

 

Any  hint?

I am trying to write the test method for the following controller extension:

 

public class MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt {

    public boolean CampaignAlert = False;

    public integer ContactsProcessed = 0;

    public MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt(ApexPages.StandardSetController stdSetController) {
        list<contact> TheSelectedIDs;
        System.LoggingLevel level = LoggingLevel.FINEST;
//        system.debug ('Starting extension controller');
//        system.debug ('CampaignAlert: '+CampaignAlert);

        TheSelectedIDs = (list<Contact>)stdSetController.getselected();       
        if (TheSelectedIDs.size() > 0) {
            this.selectedcontacts = new list<Contact>();
            for (contact TheCurrentContact : TheSelectedIDs) {

The purpose is to select the contacts in a view and trigger a wizard that creates a lead for each contact and add the newly created leads to a campaign (which name is being prompted to the user).

 

I tried to write a unit test class that creates a list of contacts and instantiates the controller extension, passing this list of contacts but I have not been able to find out how I can do this.

 

Any hint?

 

My (useless, I am afraid) test code so far:

 

Public class TestLeadMassCreationWizard {

    public static testMethod void testLeadMassCreation() {
        System.Debug('Debugging...');
        System.Debug('Unit Test: lead Mass Creation and addition to campaign');
               
        list<contact> Clist = [select ID from contact where lastname like 'M%' limit 5];
        Campaign thecampaign = [select ID from Campaign where isactive = true limit 1];
       
        MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt TheController = new MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt<Clist>();
       
        string nextpage = ssc.CreateLeadsFromContacts().getURL();
    }
}

Hi all,

 

I created a VF page that is an extension controller for contacts. It is called from a contact view and the purpose is to enable people to create leads from a full list of contacts without having to go through an export/import.

 

If I create a contact view with criteria such as "Name starts with 'M'", and click the button, it works fine.

 

If I create a contact view using a "Filter By Campaign" criteria, I Get a error message: 

LastName, title FROM Contact WHERE ((CampaignId = '70180000000F7kn')) ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:78 No such column 'CampaignId' on entity 'Contact'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

 

Meaning that the controller does not receive the list of contacts but the criteria from the view. How Can I handle this?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I created a VisualForce Page if order to rapidly create leads from contacts. The purpose is for instance to enable to select all the contacts who attended a webinar and create leads for each of them in just a few clicks.
The page uses an extension controller to the contact standard controller.

In the extension controller, I created a variable called "CampaignToAppendID" which purpose is for the user to input the campaign to which the new leads have to be added.This variable is used in the VisualForce Page as a  droplist so gthat the users can select the campaign. Displaying and populating the droplist works OK. But the variable apparently does not change when the user selects different values for the droplist. The Debug log shows that the setCampaignToAppendID class setter never gets triggered. What I am missing?

 

VisualForce page Code is below:

 

<apex:page standardController="contact" extensions="MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt" recordSetVar="contacts">
  <script>
  function confirmCancel() {
      var isCancel = confirm("Are you sure you wish to cancel?");
      if (isCancel) return true;
     return false;
  }    
  </script>

    <apex:sectionHeader title="Mass Create Leads from Contacts"></apex:sectionHeader>
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock mode="edit" id="block">

 Thanks for your help

 

I created a simple view page that can be triggered from a contact list. The code is fully tested and uploaded as a package here (no password):

 

https://login.salesforce.com/?startURL=%2Fpackaging%2FinstallPackage.apexp%3Fp0%3D04t80000000YNFO

 

In order to use it, you need to add the Test list button in the package to the Contacts List View in the contact serach layout.

 

if you use a contact list such as "all contacts which last name starts with M" or "My contacts", it works fine.

 

When using a contact list with the list definition criteria Filter By Campaign (Optional): ,selecting any campaign, opening the view and pushing the button, the following error message appears:

 

SELECT id FROM Contact WHERE ((CampaignId = '70180000000F7kn')) ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:32 No such column 'CampaignId' on entity 'Contact'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

As if the system was trying to pass the campaign ID to the standardsetcontroller insteads of the resulting list of contacts.

 

Any  hint?

I am trying to write the test method for the following controller extension:

            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

The purpose is to select the contacts in a view and trigger a wizard that creates a lead for each contact and add the newly created leads to a campaign (which name is being prompted to the user).

 

I tried to write a unit test class that creates a list of contacts and instantiates the controller extension, passing this list of contacts but I have not been able to find out how I can do this.

 

Any hint?

 

My (useless, I am afraid) test code so far:

 

Public class TestLeadMassCreationWizard {

    public static testMethod void testLeadMassCreation() {
        System.Debug('Debugging...');
        System.Debug('Unit Test: lead Mass Creation and addition to campaign');
               
        list<contact> Clist = [select ID from contact where lastname like 'M%' limit 5];
        Campaign thecampaign = [select ID from Campaign where isactive = true limit 1];
       
        MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt TheController = new MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt<Clist>();
       
        string nextpage = ssc.CreateLeadsFromContacts().getURL();
    }
}

I created a VisualForce Page if order to rapidly create leads from contacts. The purpose is for instance to enable to select all the contacts who attended a webinar and create leads for each of them in just a few clicks.
The page uses an extension controller to the contact standard controller.

In the extension controller, I created a variable called "CampaignToAppendID" which purpose is for the user to input the campaign to which the new leads have to be added.This variable is used in the VisualForce Page as a  droplist so gthat the users can select the campaign. Displaying and populating the droplist works OK. But the variable apparently does not change when the user selects different values for the droplist. The Debug log shows that the setCampaignToAppendID class setter never gets triggered. What I am missing?

 

VisualForce page Code is below:

 

<apex:page standardController="contact" extensions="MassCreateLeadsFromContactsControllerExt" recordSetVar="contacts">
  <script>
  function confirmCancel() {
      var isCancel = confirm("Are you sure you wish to cancel?");
      if (isCancel) return true;
     return false;
  }    
  </script>

    <apex:sectionHeader title="Mass Create Leads from Contacts"></apex:sectionHeader>
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock mode="edit" id="block">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Create leads" action="{!CreateLeadsFromContacts}" immediate="true"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!Cancel}" onclick="return confirmCancel()" immediate="true"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Creation parameters" collapsible="false" columns="2">                
                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel for="CampaignToAppendID">Attach resulting leads to campaign:</apex:outputLabel>
                    <apex:selectlist value="{!CampaignToAppendID}" multiselect="false" size="1" required="True">
                        <apex:selectOptions value="{!CampaignsToAppend}"/>
                    </apex:selectlist>
                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel rendered="!{CampaignAlert}"><h1>Please enter a campaign</h1></apex:outputLabel>
                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockSection collapsible="false" columns="1">
                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                    <apex:outputLabel ><h1>Each contact in the list below will be copied to a lead.</h1></apex:outputLabel>
                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>                    
            </apex:pageBlockSection>                
        </apex:pageBlock>
        <apex:pageBlock title="Contacts to be processed">
            <apex:dataTable value="{!Contacts}" var="TheContact">
                <apex:column title="Name" >
                    <apex:outputText value="{!TheContact.name}"/>
                </apex:column>

 Thanks for your help

 

Hi, I'm trying to put together a month over month and year over year comparison report.  I have the formula fields in which to achieve this however  I am encountering a syntax problem with CloseData (see below).  Sf keeps telling me that there is no such field as CloseDate.  However Close Date is a standard field in Opportunities.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

CASE( MONTH ( {!CloseDate} ) , 1, "01 - January", 2, "02 - February", 3, "03 - March", 4, "04 - April", 5, "05 - May", 6, "06 - June", 7, "07 - July", 8, "08 - August", 9, "09 - September", 10, "10 - October", 11, "11 - November", "12 - December")
