Hey all,

it should be possible now to create an apex class that executes some code after a package is installed.

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_install_handler.htm

 

Here in this document, at the bottom of page 188 it says:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/97452753/205/Running-Apex-on-Package-Install-Upgrade

"Once you have created and tested the post install script, you can specify it in the Post Install Script lookup field on the PackageDetail page. In subsequent patch releases, you can change the contents of the script but not the Apex class. The class selection is also available via the Metadata API as Package.postInstallClass. This is represented in package.xmlas a <postInstallClass>foo</postInstallClass> element."

 

I searched and I searched, but I couldn't find the place where I can specify which is my post install class.

Can you point me into the right direction?

 

Many thanks,

Nikolay

Hey all,

I'm developing a salesforce app, it basically provides a search interface to an external database. After the user has finished searching, he can create a new Account and fill some of its fields with data from this external database. 

I want to allow the users to customize which fields from the database map to which fields in their new Account objects. What is the best way to do that? Is there a standard component, code, snippet?

Any help from the more experienced developers would be highly appreciated.

 

Regards,

Nikolay

Hey all,

I'm pretty new with Salesforce development. I'll tell you what I want to do and I hope I can get some good advice on how to do it. 

I'm developing an app with apex. I want to store some application specific information about every user that uses my salesforce app. I want this information not to be editable for anyone but the application code. Ideally users/admins should not even know about it. How can I do that? I started with creating a custom object where I want to store my info, but I couldn't find how to change the object level permissions so that no one is allowed to see or edit the data. Am I on the right track or should I be doing something completely different?

 

Thanks a lot for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Kazmin
