I tried using the sf:listMetadata target in the ant migration tool to list all defined Reports (metadataType="Report") but I get no reports, although I have defined many of them (indeed if I use the sf:retrieve target, specifying reports, I can retrieve them).
The listMetadata works fine with other elements (e.g. CustomObject, ReportType, Profile, etc.).
Any ideas? I also run a sf:describeMetadata and I see the Report element listed.
My ultimate goal is to identify selected reports based on specific internal logic without having to go through the GUI one by one.
I am trying to convert a master-detail relationship into a regular lookup. According to the on-line help (search for "What happens if I detach a Master-Detail Relationship?") I need to pay attention to report types and reports, among other things.
I think I need to create new custom report types "cloning/duplicating" the logic defined in the "master-detail" report types for those objects I want to convert the field relationship for. I need also to "clone/duplicate" all defined reports (of the given type).
My questions are:
1. How do I find all the report types "based" on the master-detail relationship I am about to modify?
2. Is there a way to easily "clone/duplicate" the above report types?
3. How do I find all the reports defined on the report types at point 1.
4. Is there a way to easily "clone/duplicate" the reports found above?
5. I have noticed that reports can be scheduled to run at configurable times. Will I have to "recreate" those schedule for the newly duplicated reports?
6. Are there any other things I should be aware of?
Thanks a lot, I know I asked a lot of questions but I was not able to find the necessary documentation.
I have a page defining several styles and containing several components. If my component contains html segments part of a style defined in the main page I have problems when rendering the page as pdf. The non-pdf page renders properly with no problems. I tried looking around the posts and the documentation with no success.
If I include the custom component MyComponent the rendered pdf loses the style. If I inline the component it works fine.
Below is a simplified version of what I developed.
It is probably an easy question, but I have been looking at the messages on the board and I can't still figure this out. I need to display the translation of a given key (string) for multiple keys. Basically is as if i need to call multiple times the same method with different parameters. I was thinking to define a controller with a map of all possible keys (and their associated translation).
I tried the following (simplified version):
(i also tried to assign to inputParam below a dynamically "retrieved" string <apex:param name="currText" value="{!num}" />)
<apex:page controller="DictionaryController">
<apex:outputText value="Translation for one is: {!outParam}"> <apex:param assignTo="{!inputParam}" value="one" /> <apex:param name="currText" value="one" /> <apex:param name="q" value="{!outParam}"/> </apex:outputText>
</apex:page>
and the controller:
public with sharing class DictionaryController { public String inputParam {get; set;} private String outParam;
//the getOutParam method also does not work (inputParam is null) if it tries to get the inputParam value, which should
//have been set previously via the apex:param .... assignTo declaration in the apex page.
public String getOutParam(){ String currText = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('currText');

public class CustomEditContract {
public CustomEditContract(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
}
public PageReference doEdit() {
/* Get the pagereference for the contract edit */
Contact contr = new Contact();
ApexPages.StandardController theC= new ApexPages.standardController(contr);
PageReference p = theC.edit();
return p;
}
}
The problem is that the edit() doesn't accepts an object without an ID.
I don't want to use S-controls or building the entire page using visualforce, but I didn't found any other solutions.
So, is there no way of pre populating a new object using apex and the StandardController?
It looks like if you specify a templateId on a Messaging.SingleEmailMessage object, you must also specify a TargetObjectId. That's fine if you are sending to an existing contact or user, but what if you just have an email address? Can you send an email using a template and just specify an email address? If not, any ideas on how to leverage a template in this manner?
I'm new to sfdc developing and i would like to pre-populate a field value when someone clicks the new button on any given object.
To my limited understanding there is no trigger that fires at this point. Is there a way to pre-populate field values using apex when someone clicks the new button? Thanks!
I have a custom object called Merchant_Analysis__c which has a master-detail relationship with Opportunity. There is a field on the custom object called Opportunity__c which is just a reference to the parent Opportunity. I have a simple javascript button on the Opportunity called New Merchant Analysis which simply passes the opportunity id to the visualforce controller via GET.
In my save method for the controller I set the Merchant_Analysis__c.Opportunity__c field to the ID of the Opportunity
public analysisController()
{
String oid = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('id');
if(oid != null && oid != '')
{
Opportunity o = [select id,name from Opportunity WHERE id=:oid];
this.oppID = o.id;
}
}
public PageReference save()
{
analysis.Opportunity__c = oppID;
analysis.recordtypeid = recType;
insert analysis;
PageReference analysisPage = new PageReference('/' + analysis.id);
analysisPage.setRedirect(true);
return analysisPage;
}
The variable oppID is a public class level String variable that holds the Opportunity ID. For some reason when I run my test methods I get the following error:
System.SObjectException: Field is not writeable: Merchant_Analysis__c.Opportunity__c
I've checked all the field level securities and everything to make sure Opportunity__c is not read only anywhere. For some reason I cannot figure out how to get past this error or even what is causing it.
Does anyone know how I can set the the relationship field of a Custom Object with a Master-Detail Relationship?
Any help would be great, as this problem has been plaguing me for too long now.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I've written a code in c# to send an email using API and using template in sales force, but i am unable to access the variables in the template i.e. how would the variables get values in templates by using API.
My template body has following variable {!Opportunity.Account} which contains account name of the opportunity. And following is my code:
The email is being sent successfully but with no account name. i.e. if the template body is "Opportunities account name is {!Opportunity.Account}" then it is sent as "Opportunities account name is"
Can anyone help me to find out how should i relate the object and object id from code i.e. how to fill the variables which are used in template body.
