Deploy Custom Button and Links to Contact Layout

Could someone please help?

In my custom app, I added a custom button, and then added it to the default layout of Contact.

After I packaged and installed the app into a new organization. I can see the button installed and deployed from set up, but, when I open Contact layout, I don't see the custom button.

DO I have to add it into the Contact layout mannually after the package deployed? If so, If I install this app to 10 apps, I have to add the button 10 time?? Thanks in advance.

How to to get report column API name?

Hi Simon,

I am wondering if you could me help out this one:

How to get report column's api name? From sample xml that the help doc provides(http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta), I can see the columns node contains actual field api name:

 <columns>
        <field>CRT_Object__c$Name</field>
    </columns>

But from the zip file I retrieved following your ,net sample code http://www.pocketsoap.com/weblog/category/_net.htm l,, I don't see api name for the column. Here is sample of report meta data I got:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

     <columns>
         <field>SALUTATION</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>FIRST_NAME</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>LAST_NAME</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>TITLE</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>

     </groupingsDown>
     <name>Test 2009</name>
     <reportType>ContactList</reportType>

problem with Metadata API retrieve()--"Non nillable element 'version' is null"

Hello,

I converted Simon's sample code from http://www.pocketsoap.com/weblog/category/_net.htm l to java to retrieve report metadata.

Got an errors saying "Non nillable element 'version' is null" but I did set the version already..(My project is stuck because of this..:-( please, can anybody help me out..Thanks!)..

here is my code:

@SuppressWarnings("static-access")
   public void retrieveReports(String[] reportFiles) {
       // build up an unpackaged retrieve request for the list of reports.
       RetrieveRequest r = new RetrieveRequest();
       r.setApiVersion(API_VERSION);
       r.setUnpackaged(new _package());
       PackageTypeMembers m = new PackageTypeMembers();
       m.setName("Report");
       m.setMembers(reportFiles);
       r.getUnpackaged().setTypes(new PackageTypeMembers[] { m });

       // start the retrieve request
       AsyncResult ar;
       try {
           ar = this.metadatabinding.retrieve(r); //error out: "Non nillable element 'version' is null" :-(
           // wait for it to complete, sleeping as necassary...

... ...

Spring 10: how to access the content of a rich text field

The Spring 10 is support rich text...great! but can anyone give me some hints on how to access the field?

The application I am working on needs to read out the content and convert it to a PDF..

Is the content of the rich text field stored as HTML format? How about the inserted image? How to access them? I can't find any documents so far:-(
