We loaded users with their emails scrambled.  Now we need to correct them.  The problem is we do not want all our users to have to confirm the email change.  The business reason is it would be a logistics nightmare to get all users to properly accept the email change and that it looks unprofessional.

Anyone know a way to bypass this Salesforce limitation?

I am inserting share records on a custom object fine through dataloader.

I am trying to insert a share record in a trigger and I get errors when the user is currently inactive.

This is going to be a huge problem for my project, anyone know how to get around this?

thank you!!

Anyone have luck with aligning a button to be beside a lookup input?  

The HTML that the lookups generate is causing me issues with everything I try.

I believe I may have found a compiler issue.  Anyone else run into the following:

I have one wrapper class called anObject.

I have a second wrapper class that contains the fields for each anObject wrapper.

    
    public class anObject{
        public Boolean isMaster { get; set; }
        public Id sId           { get; set; }
        public aField[] fields  { get; set; }
        
        public anObject(Id i, aField[] fl, Boolean m){
            fields = fl;
            isMaster = m;
            sId = i;
        }
    }
    public class aField{
        public Boolean checked  { get; set; } // this is the problem variable
        public String value     { get; set; }
        public String apiName   { get; set; }
        
        public aField(String v, String a){
            this.checked = true;
            this.value = v;
            this.apiName = a;
        }
    }

I translate the sObject into my custom anObject and put them into a list.

public List<anObject> theObjects    { get; set; }

The problem comes when I call the list in a VF page.

    <apex:repeat value="{!theObjects}" var="a">
        {!a.isMaster}<br/>
        <apex:repeat value="{!a.fields}" var="f">
            <input type="radio" name="{!f.apiName}" value="{!f.checked}"/>
            {!f.value} <br/>
        </apex:repeat>
    </apex:repeat>

Everything works except for the Boolean variable "checked".  It throws me the following error:

Error: /apex/SMLeadMerge: Cannot coerce from class core.apexpages.el.adapters.RuntimeTypeMetadataELAdapter to class java.lang.Boolean

Interesting additional note, if I do the exact same thing but instead of using a list I use a map then the boolean works fine.  

I've been staring at this code too long and I think something obvious isn't jumping out at me.  I have a recursive trigger causing me to hit the maximum trigger depth but I can't think of how to fix it.  If anyone can help I am posting the trigger in it's entirety and the error.

THANKS!

The scenario is a user updates a custom revenue object.  This fires a trigger to update the record with the "Prior Year Revenue"  and also update the next year's "Prior Year Revenue".

If I want to message a particular user I can just use @Mark Benioff.  Is there a way to message a whole organization?

My client wants to organize their accounts into teams for reporting purpose.  The accounts are wide open (everyone can see, create etc) so they do not teams for sharing.  They do need to manage the teams a bit (ex. adding and removing team members done by managers).

What would you suggest I use? 

Thank you.

Old code is now throwing me an error.

They seem to no longer support retrieving a value directly in a custom setting as seen below.  Anyone else had this problem after Saturday's release?

ex:

Id publicCalendarId = HardcodedIDs__c.getall().values().id__c;

Using the following formula field:

HYPERLINK( '/' + Contact__c , Contact__r.LastName & ', ' & Contact__r.FirstName,'_parent')

When I sort the a related list by this formula field it does not correctly sort.  For example, Instead of Apple, Bob, Cat it sorts seemingly randomly like this.. Bob, Apple, Cat.

Anyone else encounter this?

I am displaying two dates (a from and to date) like this, 8/8/2011 to 8/10/2011.  If no to date is entered then I do not want to display the " to " text.  

I am using a simple outputText like below but it does not work:

<apex:outputText value=" to " rendered="{!Account.To__c != null}"/>

I used the same code but with a text field and had no problems:

<apex:outputText value=", {!Account.Name}" rendered="{!Account.Name != null}"/>

Any ideas?

<apex:image url="https://c.cs7.content.force.com/servlet/servlet.ImageServer?id={!TD_Logo}&oid={!$Organization.Id}"/>

I remove all hardcoding but this one is giving me problems.  Is there a command to pull the org instance?

Why doesnt this trigger work?  It doesnt throw any errors it just doesnt populate the title field.  Can I not use a reference like Contact__r.Contacts_Title__c in a trigger?

trigger AddTitleToAttendee_BI on Attendee__c (Before Insert) {  
    
    for(Attendee__c a : trigger.new){
        a.Title__c = a.Contact__r.Contacts_Title__c;
    }
}



Is there anyway to dynamically populate a picklist on a standard edit page?  The standard edit page is so restricted and the project doesnt have the budget timeframe to rewrite the whole standard page fully in VF just to add one custom field to the edit page.

Thank you.

Has anyone been able to get jQuery to work in a custom button for a standard page layout?  All the examples I can find are on custom VF pages :(

Example code or a link to example code would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

It is a pretty simple scenario so I will summarize it.   I cannot find anything to explain this behaviour so I am hoping some of you Apex geniuses can tell me that I am just making a simple mistake.

The users enters input into a field and then clicks a button.  The button calls the controller to create another sObject and it is displayed on the VF page using a repeat.  Another button is suppose to delete the last item from the list.  The field the user is inputting is a master-detail and therefore is a required field but why do I get the "Error: You must enter a value" when I am trying to just remove the last sObject from the list?

Here is the code.

<apex:repeat value="{!requests}" var="r">
                    <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!r.Contact__c}"/>
                    </apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:repeat>

public List<Attendee__c> requests {get; set;}

public void addAttendee() {
        attendeesList.add(new Attendee__c(Meeting__c = meet.Id));
}

public void removeAttendee() {
        if(attendeesList.size() > 0){
            attendeesList.remove(requests.size()-1);
        }
}

Thank you!

Any way to click a button to print all of a record's attachments?

Thanks.

I am cloning a record and then using a for loop to change say half of the fields on the cloned record.  Then I am updating the object.  I dont want to write a line for every field I am updating so I wrote a for loop.  Unfortunately, its not working.

public void setupMergedAccount(){
        mergedAccount = toAccountObj.Clone();
        List<String> fieldsToChange = new List<String>{'Phone','BillingCity'};
        for(String f : fieldsToChange){
            mergedAccount.[f] = fromAccountObj.[f]; // USING THE VARIABLE HERE DOESNT WORK 
        }
}

Anyone?

Salesforce saves phone numbers like this (905) 123 - 1234

Agents type numbers in the search like this 9051231234

This works for standard account and contact objects but not for my client's custom objects.

There are hundreds of thousands of records so the addition of a hidden field that changes the phone format to be more searchable is not a valid option at this point since this field would only be updated if each record was opened and resaved.

The Salesforce support does not have any solutions for me so I am reaching out to you guys in the dev community.  Please help! 

A little challenge,

I have say 100 strings in a list that are in this format: 3 to 5 numbers, a space, a name.  

Example 1: "1234 Product Name One"

Example 2: "12345 Product Name Two"

How do I most efficiently remove the 1234 and the space so I just have Product Name? 

Result 1: "Product Name One"

Result 2: "Product Name Two "

Hi,

Any ideas how I can print an Attachment given I know the url to it? The url to an Attachment is something like:

https://na3.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00PA0000002Dlc5

The Documents.Open() method takes in a url, and the above url doesn't work.

Hi all,

I have a standalone Flex app, e.g. not embedded in a VF page.

I can log into a non-sandbox org, but I cannot seem to log into a sandbox org.

I have tried changing the LoginRequest.server_url property to "https://test.salesforce.com" and "http://cs2.salesforce.com" with no luck, and I also tried changing xmlns:salesforce= to both of these values as well.

How is this meant to be attained? 

Thanks!

I have a button that when the user clicks it it is suppose to grab from the fields the user just filled in and say return them an alert message.  I am having trouble tho because the object is not saved so the values do no exist in the db yet.   

How do I retrieve values from the user's currently open page before they save those values?
