Hi Everyone,

I want to display the article rating stars available in salesforce articles in the customer portal...but didnt get any way to display them in customer portal in order to make customers to rate our articles.

As per the salesforce knowledge overview document....

Rating Articles: Internal app, Customer Portal, and partner portal users can rate articles on a scale of 1 to 5 stars and view the average rating for an article. Average ratings are not static. Every 15 days, if an article has not received a new vote, its average moves up or down according to a half-life calculation. This change ensures that over time, older or outdated articles don't maintain artificially high or low ratings compared to newer, more frequently used articles. Articles without recent votes trend towards an average rating of 3 stars. The Articles tab also allows users to compare the ratings for different articles and sort the list view according to highest or lowest rated articles.

I've done everything..like gone through the profile settings, user settings, provided additional permission sets..but still didnt work for me...

Note: I've used Public Knowledge Base App to display the articles in the customer portal..

They have provided a answer in the below link...http://success.salesforce.com/questionDetail?qId=a1X30000000IVX7EAO....PKB2 doesnot support this..but requirement is on my head. I want to display that at any cost.

So please someone help me in this regard and make me to display the article rating stars in the customer portal website.

Hi Everyone,

I think everyone is doing well.

Here is my code:

VisualForce Page:

<apex:page StandardController="Case" Extensions="ONEN_CTRL_WebToCase" action="{!submitCase}">
<apex:form >
<table>
<tr>
<th>Your Name:</th>
<td><apex:inputText value="{!Case.Account.Name}"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Your Email:</th>
<td><apex:inputText value="{!Case.Contact.Email}"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<apex:outputLabel value="Reason for Contact" for="txtPostalCode" styleClass="label" /><br/>
</td>
<td>
<apex:selectlist value="{!Case.Description}" id="txtPostalCode" styleclass="select">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!reason4Contact}"/>
</apex:selectlist>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</apex:form>

</apex:page>

Apex Code:

public class ONEN_CTRL_WebToCase1 {
Public Account Account {get; set;}
Public Contact Contact {get; set;}
Public Case cas {get; set;}
public List<SelectOption> getReason4Contact() {
List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
options.add(new SelectOption('Select a Topic','Select a Topic'));
return options;
}
public PageReference save() {
return null;
}
public PageReference submitCase() {
Map<string,string> postParameters = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters();
String LastName = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Last_Name');
String Email = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Email');
Account=New Account();
Contact=New Contact();
Cas=New Case();
If(Email==Contact.Email)
{

Cas.Account.name=Last_Name;
Cas.Contact.Email=Email;
}
insert Cas;
return null;
}
public ONEN_CTRL_WebToCase1(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

}
}

Here my requirement is that if url parameter email='xxx@yyy.com' and Contact.Email='xxx@yyy.com' it must fetch Account.name and Contact.Email from contact and has to insert a record in the case.

Example

1. URL of the VFPage: \apex\VFPage?Last_Name='Anil'&Email='anil@talluri.com'

2. Contact.Email='anil@talluri.com'

3. In 2nd point, Contact.Email=Email

=> Fetch the account.name, contact.email from contact

4. Insert the record in case with the above account.name, contact.email

Please help me in implementing this. (I'm not at all satisfied with my code)

Hi Everyone,

I've a datetime field in 'Due_Date_Time__c' which will update another field "ReminderDateTime" with the following code (Subtracting 30 minutes from the Due_Date_Time__c).

Task t = new Task();
t.Subject='Send an Email';
t.Status= 'In Progress';
t.IsReminderSet= true;
t.priority='Normal';
t.Due_Date_Time__c=DateTime.Now().adddays(2);
t.Reminderdatetime=t.Due_Date_Time__c-(1/48); //formula to update reminderdatetime field
System.debug('Reminder Date Time is' + t.reminderdatetime);
System.debug('Due Date Time is' + t.Due_Date_Time__c);
database.insert(t);

So here the problem is I'm getting the reminderdatetime and due date time values as same.

Note: I want to integrate this in the clients website..So cant go for workflow.

Please help me where I'm doing wrong.
