Hi everyone!

I have three objects that are linked together (Account, Project__c, Space__c). Both the Project and the Space have a lookup to an Account and the Project looks up to a Space. What I want to do is when I populate the Account on the Project record it will update the related Space with that same Account.

Here's my code:

trigger PopulateCurrentTenant on Project__c (after insert, after update) {
    Set<id> tenantIds = new Set<id>();
    Set<id> spaceIds = new Set<id>();
    for (Project__c p : Trigger.new){
        tenantIds.add(p.Account__c);
        spaceIds.add(p.Space__c);   
    }
    // query for all the tenant records for the unique tenantIds in the records
    // create a map for a lookup / hash table for the user info
    List<Account> tenants = [Select Id, Name from Account Where Id in :tenantIds];
    Map<id, Account> tenantsMap = new Map<id, Account>();
    for(Account a : tenants){
    tenantsMap.put(a.Id,a);
  }  
 	
 	List<Space__c> spaces = [Select Id, Name, Account__c from Space__c Where Id in :spaceIds];
 	Map<id, Space__c> spacesMap = new Map<id, Space__c> ();
 	for(Space__c s : spaces){
 		spacesMap.put(s.Id,s);
 	}
    // iterate over the list of records being processed in the trigger and
    // set the Existing Tenant on the Space after being inserted or updated
    for (Project__c p : Trigger.new){
    	Space__c thisSpace = spacesMap.get(p.Space__c);
        Account thisTenant = tenantsMap.get (p.Account__c);
        thisSpace.Account__c = thisTenant;
}
}

The code deploys fine but there's only one issue: it doesn't do a thing; nothing happens when I edit a project. it just doesnt update the related space with the account.

Are the maps empty? Am I querying the data incorrectly?

Thank you in advance for your help!

We're using Visualforce pages more and more here, but we've been working around something for a while that I think is probably pretty simple.

Many times, we have multiple visualpage pages that use different controllers (or extensions) based on the record type, or how many records we want to pull. 

I see there are several different examples using javascript / params to have a user pass a variable value to a controller - we've been successful there.  But I would simply like to set the variable value when the page loads, so for instance if they go to a page that is supposed to display only 30 records, verses a page that is supposed to display 180 records.  Is there a simple way to pass this value to a controller variable using the <apex:page action=""> perhaps?

Hi All,

I am getting binary (.doc) file from external API by my APEX code.

Then I convert it to Blob format and save as an attachment.

When I try to download and open it with Word editor it tells this file is corrupted.

My code to convert string from external API to Blob:

Blob body = Blob.valueOf(httpResponse.getBody());

insert new Attachment(
        Name = filename,
        Body = body,
        ParentId = parentId);

 How can I save it in a right format? I saw there are a lot of special characters in response from external API like:

PK!Ҩ0��	[Content_Types].xml �(��V�n�0�W�?D�V�@���8�ql�J?����ؖ����Q�BB��HQ��ٙݍ��*ς8��^�ehiT��1��t�Y�Qh%2�!fk�l8����k>����l�h8�r�𡱠�Kb\.�^ݔ[!?�x�۽��h�,0� z#.U���W�_�xbj��C�c�cy�����6K�@�Z� ��$I%(#�9Q��uF��TZ���M��$b�a��"m�2�7�m�!��(����������SUWs�;r.R��P���p����TA7�����h����j�Sw�u(��3�s���C�b�

Hello,

We have a managed package with functionality to insert CollaborationGroup record, It works fine in Managed Package Dev instance but in some other instances where that package is installed it shows 'REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required fields are missing: [Library]: [Library]' error during insert operation.

What is the reason of this error?

Source code (createResumePoolChatterGroup() method is called):

public static void createResumePoolChatterGroup() {
		CollaborationGroup resumePoolChatterGroup = getResumePoolChatterGroup();
		if (resumePoolChatterGroup == null) {
			insert new CollaborationGroup(Name = 'Resume Pool', CollaborationType = 'Public');
		}
	}

	private static CollaborationGroup getResumePoolChatterGroup() {
		List<CollaborationGroup> groupList = [
				SELECT Id
				FROM CollaborationGroup
				WHERE Name = 'Resume Pool'
				LIMIT 1];

		return (groupList.size() > 0) ? groupList[0] : null;
	}

Thanks,

Mikhail

I have a code to find 'Why & not' keyword:

String query = 'FIND \'Why \\& not\' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Contact LIMIT 200';

List<sObject> sObj = Search.query(query)[0];

I escaped '&' symbol but when I run this code I get the error: 

line 1:10 mismatched character '\' expecting '''

How can I solve it?

Thanks.

Hello,

On my site I should get contact records but in my instance Contacts have 'Controlled by Parent' value and accounts have 'Private' value in Organization-Wide Defaults settings. What is the easiest way to give access to Contacts for Site Guest User in that case? I can't change Organization-Wide Defaults settings for account and contact.

I try to create the page from here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_page.htm

I've made a page:

<apex:page renderAs="pdf">
    <style> body { font-family: Arial Unicode MS; font-size:72px;} </style>
    <h1>Congratulations</h1>
    <p>This is your new PDF</p>
</apex:page>

But styles was not applied. How can I use css in PDF? Why does this code sample not work for me?

Thanks a lot.

Users of the site are experiencing Authorization Required  page in case of the error on the page. In documentation https://na7.salesforce.com/help/doc/user_ed.jsp?loc=help&target=sites_error_pages.htm&section=integrate I found the following:

Authorization Required Page—The page users see when trying to access pages for which they do not have authorization.

Generic Error Page—The page users see when encountering generic exceptions.

I'd like to shiw to the users Generic Error Page when error has occured. How can I achive this?

I have a trigger. In this trigger I have a line:

contact.addError(
  'Candidate \'' + contactQuery + 
  '\' is already exists. This candidate can\'t be inserted. Existed candidate was updated');

After this line of code I put other line of code to update other record. Something like:

otherContact.Name = 'Test Name';
update otherContact;

Since I have an 'addError' statement in this trigger my 'update otherContact' statement is terminated. How can I update record in this case?

How can I solve it?

I've made a custom object (Asset) which has a lookup field to Case object. I added Assets related list to Case page layout and select in Assets related list 5 columns. Then I saved page layout. But when I go to Case detail page I see Name field in Assets related list only. What can be the reason of this? How to solve it?

My organization (using enterprise edition) is looking for two custom visualforce pages.  I would appreciate a quote on the following items:

Visualforce page for Lead Conversion that shows additional required fields for the conversion process

Visualforce page to combine the Account & Opportunity records into one screen to improve workflow for our users

It is really up in the air right now on exactly what we need, but based off the above, any ball park figure would be appreciated.

We need this application to run on a mobile app device as well.

We have currently on Quickbooks which need to move to the cloud:

- All Clients (800 to 900 approx)
- Invoice balances/history/current
- What was sold (Approx. 25 products to choose from)
- When it was sold

- Product expiration dates (these are perishable food products)

- Company balance

The Overview of Operations:
Distributor (Me) --> Driver (Truck Inventory)---> Ending Client (800 to 900)

Between these 3 areas everyone should have access to REAL-TIME inventory, finances and related information. I want to be able to drill down on clients to see any current details. If there is an issue it will be "open" or "closed" for that client.

I am very serious about this project. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a requirement to filter users on the basis of user's license type.

I am able to access profile license type field in apex explorer but while using the same field in system log or apex class, it throws an error "no such fields on prfile"

kindly help

I have a very simple VF page, trying to insert a new record, but the Apex:inputField didn't work for lookup field.

Following is the sample code:

<apex:page controller="contactController">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock>
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!contacts}" var="con">
                <apex:column value="{!con.Id}" headerValue="FP #">
                    <apex:facet name="footer">
                        <apex:commandLink value="Add" action="{!add}"/>
                    </apex:facet>
                </apex:column>
                <apex:column value="{!con.AccountId}" headerValue="account">
                    <apex:facet name="footer">
                        <apex:inputField value="{!contact.AccountId}" required="true"/>
                    </apex:facet>
                </apex:column>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

public class contactController 
{
    public assigntravelrates()
    {
        Contact = new Contact();
        Contacts = [select Id, AccountId from Contact limit 2];
    }
    public List<contact> Contacts { get; set; }
    public Contact Contact { get; set; }
    public void add()
    {
        insert Contact;
    }
}

when I first time clicks the lookup icon and clicks the add link, it throws a error says "you must enter a value", then I choose the account again, it throws the "required field missing" error which is correct.

Did anyone have met the same issue?

I try to create the page from here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_page.htm

I've made a page:

<apex:page renderAs="pdf">
    <style> body { font-family: Arial Unicode MS; font-size:72px;} </style>
    <h1>Congratulations</h1>
    <p>This is your new PDF</p>
</apex:page>

But styles was not applied. How can I use css in PDF? Why does this code sample not work for me?

Thanks a lot.

Mikhail

Hi everyone!

I have three objects that are linked together (Account, Project__c, Space__c). Both the Project and the Space have a lookup to an Account and the Project looks up to a Space. What I want to do is when I populate the Account on the Project record it will update the related Space with that same Account.

Here's my code:

trigger PopulateCurrentTenant on Project__c (after insert, after update) {
    Set<id> tenantIds = new Set<id>();
    Set<id> spaceIds = new Set<id>();
    for (Project__c p : Trigger.new){
        tenantIds.add(p.Account__c);
        spaceIds.add(p.Space__c);   
    }
    // query for all the tenant records for the unique tenantIds in the records
    // create a map for a lookup / hash table for the user info
    List<Account> tenants = [Select Id, Name from Account Where Id in :tenantIds];
    Map<id, Account> tenantsMap = new Map<id, Account>();
    for(Account a : tenants){
    tenantsMap.put(a.Id,a);
  }  
 	
 	List<Space__c> spaces = [Select Id, Name, Account__c from Space__c Where Id in :spaceIds];
 	Map<id, Space__c> spacesMap = new Map<id, Space__c> ();
 	for(Space__c s : spaces){
 		spacesMap.put(s.Id,s);
 	}
    // iterate over the list of records being processed in the trigger and
    // set the Existing Tenant on the Space after being inserted or updated
    for (Project__c p : Trigger.new){
    	Space__c thisSpace = spacesMap.get(p.Space__c);
        Account thisTenant = tenantsMap.get (p.Account__c);
        thisSpace.Account__c = thisTenant;
}
}

The code deploys fine but there's only one issue: it doesn't do a thing; nothing happens when I edit a project. it just doesnt update the related space with the account.

Are the maps empty? Am I querying the data incorrectly?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I have the following text file I uploaded as a static resource:

.centertext {

text-allign:  center;

}

I am using the tabbed account and I have a controller extension that exposes some lists (because I want to split a custom object into 3 tabs based on record type.) I am trying to center 2 of the columns in the below section of the VF page (Base Members and Current Members) .. I added the reference at the top of the VF page to the static resource as follows:

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="EnrollmentAcctExt" showHeader="true" 
      tabStyle="account" standardStyleSheets="false">
      <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.AccountStyle, 'AccountStyle.css')}"/>

 and here is my pageblock that brings in the listing... however, the base members field is not centering:

<apex:tab label="Health Enrollment" name="HealthEnrollment" id="HE" styleclass="AcctListStyle">          
        <apex:pageBlock mode="edit" title="Health Enrollment Current">
           <apex:form >
            <apex:commandButton action="{!NewEnrollHealth}" value="New"/>
           </apex:form>
         <apex:pageblockSection id="key" title="">
          <apex:pageblockTable value="{!healthsummaryactive}" var="hs">

We're using Visualforce pages more and more here, but we've been working around something for a while that I think is probably pretty simple.

Many times, we have multiple visualpage pages that use different controllers (or extensions) based on the record type, or how many records we want to pull. 

I see there are several different examples using javascript / params to have a user pass a variable value to a controller - we've been successful there.  But I would simply like to set the variable value when the page loads, so for instance if they go to a page that is supposed to display only 30 records, verses a page that is supposed to display 180 records.  Is there a simple way to pass this value to a controller variable using the <apex:page action=""> perhaps?

I have a trigger. In this trigger I have a line:

contact.addError(
  'Candidate \'' + contactQuery + 
  '\' is already exists. This candidate can\'t be inserted. Existed candidate was updated');

After this line of code I put other line of code to update other record. Something like:

otherContact.Name = 'Test Name';
update otherContact;

Since I have an 'addError' statement in this trigger my 'update otherContact' statement is terminated. How can I update record in this case?

I've made a custom object (Asset) which has a lookup field to Case object. I added Assets related list to Case page layout and select in Assets related list 5 columns. Then I saved page layout. But when I go to Case detail page I see Name field in Assets related list only. What can be the reason of this? How to solve it?

Hi All,

We're a small start-up and don't have a lot of technical staff - and there's one big SF.com project we want to do - but do not have the technical stuff to pull off in a quality way.

I need a developer who can basically set up a custom program for us.

I can provide more detailed description, but in effect what we want is as follows:
- Customer completes a form which creates a new record in SF (this we can already do!!)
- That action triggers a succession of automated emails, daily - for 30 days or UNTIL the user buys the product (is converted from a lead in SF.com to a Contact.)

- The emails must be personalized (Name fields, etc.) to that individual, and we should be able to test this thing in advance to make sure it works.

Anyone out there up for assisting with this project? We have budget and a schedule which I am happy to discuss with qualified developers.

I will need some sort of references. Hope you understand!!

Thanks,
