I have created a field on the contact record titled Twitter User Name.  I am now trying to create a hyperlink formula field that will take the user name entered and add it to the Twitter URL and I can't get it to work.  It works great as a custom link but I want to be able to place the URL in the page layout and not in the custom link section.  Any suggestions?

I have tried both of these options

HYPERLINK("http://twitter.com/Contact.Twitter_User_Name__c", "Twitter Account" )

HYPERLINK("http://twitter.com/Twitter_User_Name__c", "Twitter Account" )

I have the need for a VisualForce page that will contain three sections, Account, Contact and Product information.

On save, I want the three records created and related or if an Account record (using Name as the key) or the a Contact record (using email address as the key)  already exists, the existing records shoudl be updated with the new information entered.  The Product record will always be new.  On Save, the newly created Product record (Standard Salesforce Product Page) should be displayed.

Ideally, if on the New create page, one could look up the Account and Contact to see if a reord existed and if it did to populate the appropiate fields on the VF page while allowing the user to overwrite the fields if necessary and on Save, update the existing Account/Contact records with the new values.

Please email a cost estimate/timeline if you think you can handle this requirement.  I need it completed and in production no later than November 14th.

Thanks

I have a custom object (Service Request) has a master detail relationship to the Case object.  What I am trying to do is to prevent a user from closing a case if the related service request record does not have a status of "awaiting invoice"  This status field in my custom object is a picklist.  This is the code that I have attempted to enter and the error message I get when I try to validate it.

Rule:
AND(ISPICKVAL( Status ,"Closed - Resolved"), NOT(ISPICKVAL ($ObjectType.Service_Request__c.Fields.Status__c, "Awaiting Invoice")))

Error:
Incorrect parameter for function ISPICKVAL(). Expected Picklist, received Object

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Does anyone know of a way to have Dashboards automatically refresh on load or how they could be scheduled to refresh?

I have a custom button that when clicked updates a field on a case but unless you refresh the screen, you don't see update on the record.  Is there a way to add a reload funciton to my javascript that will refresh the page for me?  I am new to coding so any help would be greatfully appreciated.

My current code:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/9.0/connection.js")}
var c = new sforce.SObject("Case");
c.Id = "{!Case.Id}";
c.JITB_Notify_Now__c = "1";
window.alert("Case has been transferred to JITB")
var result = sforce.connection.update([c]);

Does anyone know of a way to have Dashboards automatically refresh on load or how they could be scheduled to refresh?

I'm confused.  We purchased some Platform Licenses for some non-sales employees.  But it seems they can't create/edit accounts or contacts.  This is a problem as you can't email someone without adding them as a contact or associate a task with a contact if you can't create that contact, etc!  Also, in this case they should be able to edit accounts.  I called SF and they said that Platform Licenses can't do that, which makes no sense.  Here is the text that describes the license.  It clearly says you can or am I misreading it (see bold)?

 

Designed for users who need access to custom apps but not to standard CRM functionality. Users with a Salesforce Platform user license are entitled to use custom apps developed in your organization or installed from Force.com AppExchange. In addition, they are entitled to use core platform functionality such as accounts, contacts, reports, dashboards, documents, and custom tabs. However, these users are not entitled to some user permissions and standard apps, including standard tabs and objects such as forecasts and opportunities. Salesforce Platform users can also use Connect Offline.Note
Users with a Salesforce Platform user license can only view dashboards if the Running User of the dashboard also has a Salesforce Platform license. They cannot edit or create new dashboards.
For Salesforce Platform and Salesforce Platform One license users, the Platform standard app is the only app listed in the Force.com app menu.

Users with Salesforce Platform user licenses can access all the custom apps in your organization. For a list of the total number of custom apps available in each Edition, see Salesforce Editions and Limits.

Each license provides additional storage for Enterprise and Unlimited Edition

Can someone tell me if it is possible to build one visual force page that has three sections, Account fields , Contact fields and Product fields so that when the page data is saved, the three object records are created and related?

We are looking to develop an application for our clients that is something like a help desk with community elements, it is likely to be only relevant to our business and not have wider appeal.  I am looking for a small firm or contractor to work with us in developing the application.

If you are interested you can drop me a line and we can discuss on skype.

I had some success today refreshing dashboard and thought I'd share. I found some code from SF Heretic on refreshing homepages and dashboards, but it didn't quite work for me, though it got me pointed in the right direction which I greatly appreciate! Their code for refreshing the homepage didn't work for me the way it was setup. What did work was going to Homepage components and adding to the Messages & Alerts:

<meta http-equiv=refresh content=600>

And if you stay on the home page it does refresh after 10 minutes.

What I wanted to do was refresh a dashboard we have for mgmt users whenever they hit that page so they see the current numbers without having to click refresh. What I ended up doing was adding a component to the dashboard that was an S Control and all it contained was the following code where the ID listed is the ID of the dashboard. You can see the exact window open code I lifted below by going to the dashboard and with FIREBUG installed click INSPECT and select the REFRESH button on the page and it will show you something like the below....

Code:

<BODY onLoad="refreshDashboardTimeout();" >
<script>
function refreshDashboardTimeout() {
window.open('/01Z6000000073av—m=poll&refresh=1', 'db_refresh_frame');
}
</script>

Hope that helps some of you out there..........
