Hi there, 

I have a scenario in my org to Override the standard New Account creation page with a custom VF Page for certain record types. 

The VF Page should only appear for a set of record types and should not appear for the rest. For the rest of the record types the standard New Account page should appear. 

Please could you advise me on the design strategy I should go about in doing this? 

At the moment I am overriding the standard 'New' button in Account 

using the following VF Page

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

VF Code

<apex:pagetitle="New Account"standardController="Account"tabStyle="Account"extensions="New_Account_Controller"action="{!pullToPage}">

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Controller

public PageReference pullToPage(){

     PageReference pageRef;

     selectedRecordTypeId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('RecordType');

     User currentUser = [SELECT Id, Name, UserRole.Name, Profile.Name FROM User WHERE Id =: UserInfo.getUserId() limit 1];

     if(selectedRecordTypeId == null){

          if(currentUser.Profile.Name.contains('GV')) {

                 accountRecTypeName='MY Account RT';

                 selectedRecordTypeId = [SELECT Id, Name FROM RecordType WHERE Name =: accountRecTypeName limit 1].Id;                

          }

     }else{

            accountRecTypeName = [SELECT Id,Name FROM RecordType WHERE Id =: selectedRecordTypeId limit 1].Name;

     }   

        if (accountRecTypeName == 'MY Account RT'){

            pageRef = null;

        }else if(selectedRecordTypeId != null){

            pageRef = new PageReference('/001/e?');

            pageRef.getParameters().put('RecordType', selectedRecordTypeId);

            pageRef.getParameters().put('nooverride', '1');

        }else{

            pageRef = new PageReference('/001/e?');

            pageRef.getParameters().put('nooverride', '1');

        }

        return pageRef;

    }

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This seesms to work fine but given that I am working with a huge user base, this strategy seems to considerably reduce the preformance of other record type users.

Everytime a different recordtype other than MY Account RT is used, salesforce has to execute the above controller and then the user is redirected to the original standard page.

This is time consuming and seems to be an over kill given that we have to just override one record type among many.

Please could you suggest an alternative solution to this?

Many Thanks in Advance

Hi All,

Apologies, this is not exactly a Visualforce question, but I dont know where else to put this.

I would like to know if there is a way to use Salesforce toolkit from the Home page Component.

Description:

Setup->Customize->Home->Home Page Component

I know that salesforce allows to insert custom HTML into components.

I am trying to run a javascript code which does AJAX (Similar to Javascript in Buttons)

e.g. sforce.apex.execute

The idea is to access an apex method via javascript from here.

Please help!!!

Thanks in Advance

Hi guys,

I want to check if a given float number e.g (12.30) is a whole number

In this case 12.30 is not a whole number but 12.00 is.

If it is not a whole number like 12.10 or something like that I want to fire the validation.

Please help!

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

I have a scenario where I need to redirect the User to a new Opportunity page with certain fields based on other related objects.

I have wizard built on visualforce and a controller. During the user journey I collect information from him and finally I need to redirect him

to a page where he could create a new opportunity quickly. The pre population assures the speed of opportunity creation process. 

I want to use a simple html form from where I would like to login to salesforce and get the sesiion ID. after this I want to use meta data API to commit meta data to sales force.

I just have a plain basic html form with me. Could some one help me with javascript and stuff?

Your earliest help is much appreciated.

Cheers
