Hello,

When a Lead is converted, Salesforce will have to automatically create three new records: - Contact - Account - Opportunity

Is it necessary to implement an algorithm or it can be done in administrative way without having to write source code.

Could you please advise how this can be achieved in Salesforce?

Could you please explain and advise which are the best ways to do Data Migration in Production Envrionment. Before I start the data migration do I need an additional environment for backup? I am trying to redesign my Salseforce Production Envrionment and what I would like to achieve is to move data from custom objects to standard objects. For instance I have a custom objects like ISO, Competitors, APM Vendors which are of type custom objects. I would like to register and move them into standard Account object. Thus, fields and related lists will vary according to the type of the Account. Could you please advise and explain what is the best possible way in terms of tools, practices which can help me import and export data in Salesforce?

Hello,

I have a standard field called currency but I need to change its data type from picklist to multi-select picklist.

The problem is that it is not possible to change the data type of standard fields in Salesforce.

Therefore I'm trying to recreate the standard currency field but instead of removing the standard currency field is it possible to hide it in the layout?

What I would like to achieve is to hide the standard currency field and copy its data into the new field.

Could you please advise how this can be achieved?

Could you please advise how to copy the data from the standard currency field into the new recreated field.

Hello,

I am trying to remove all spaces from the following string:

howabountnow.com,,,itsme.com,,,name,,,hello.com,,,asdasdasdasd.asdasdasda,: :: :;;     ;;; ::   :: :; ; ;,, ,,, ,,, asdasd.asd,,, ,,,asdsadas,,,dilyan

and from the place where there are multiple spaces it is removed only one space and the result is:

DEBUG|domain1 howabountnow.com,,,itsme.com,,,name,,,hello.com,,,asdasdasdasd.asdasdasda,::::;;    ;;;::  :::;;;,,,,,,,,asdasd.asd,,,,,,asdsadas,,,dilyan

So far I've tried the following:

replaceAll('\s+', '');
replaceAll('[ ]+', '');
replace(' ', '');

and few more similar expressions.

At the moment I'm using the following source code:

String domain = accountObj.Domain__c;
    System.debug('domain ' + domain);
    integer spaceInd = domain.indexOf(' ');
    System.debug('spaceInd1: ' + spaceInd);
    while (spaceInd > -1) {
        domain = domain.replace(' ', '');
        spaceInd = domain.indexOf(' ');
        System.debug('spaceInd: ' + spaceInd);
    }
    System.debug('domain1 ' + domain);

When I start the code in debug log I get the following:

USER_DEBUG|[198]|DEBUG|domain howabountnow.com,,,itsme.com,,,name,,,hello.com,,,asdasdasdasd.asdasdasda,: :: :;;     ;;; ::   :: :; ; ;,, ,,, ,,, asdasd.asd,,, ,,,asdsadas,,,dilyan
USER_DEBUG|[203]|DEBUG|spaceInd1: 75
USER_DEBUG|[207]|DEBUG|spaceInd: -1
USER_DEBUG|[209]|DEBUG|domain1 howabountnow.com,,,itsme.com,,,name,,,hello.com,,,asdasdasdasd.asdasdasda,::::;;    ;;;::  :::;;;,,,,,,,,asdasd.asd,,,,,,asdsadas,,,dilyan

Could you please advise how to remove all spaces from the String or replace them with a single space in apex?

Hello, I would like to know how in the Zendesk New Ticket Layout in Salesforce I can make the Requester Name and the Requester Email to be not required and to make the Group and the Assignee field required?

Hello,

I have a controller class where I have a non static field leadObj which is initialized in constructor with parameter:

// Constructor
public LeadToMerchantController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {    
    objLead = (Lead)controller.getRecord();
    System.debug('objLead ' + objLead.Id);   
}

I have two non static methods where the leadObj is used and from two testMethods in a TestClass I want to start and test the two methods. Here is how the testMetdhods are implemented:
 

static testMethod void testLeadStatusExistingDeal() {
    Test.startTest();
    Lead leadObj = new Lead(LastName = 'test', Currency__c = 'USD', Company ='test', Monthly_Volume__c= '1234', Phone='1423542452', Website='www.google.com', Status = '0% Dead Lead');
    System.debug('leadObj ' + leadObj);
    String leadStatusExistingDeal = LeadToMerchantController.leadStatusExistingDeal(leadObj);
    System.debug('leadStatusExistingDeal ' + leadStatusExistingDeal);
    Test.stopTest();
}

static testMethod void testConvertOrRedirect(){
    Test.startTest();
    LeadToMerchantController.convertOrRedirect();
    Test.stopTest();
}

the two methods in the LeadToMerchantController class can not be invoked directly(calssName.methodName) because they are not static.

It is not possible to make an object from this LeadToMerchantController class because the constructor has a specific parameter 

public LeadToMerchantController(ApexPages.StandardController controller)

and it is not clear what to pass for parameter.

How can I invoke from the test method the other method 

LeadToMerchantController.convertOrRedirect();

which has to be tested?

Hello,

There is the following custom field called Url__c of type Account and the data added to the field is mainly urls and websites.
The problem is that the field is rich text and the data entered in the field Url__c is not the proper format. What I mean by not a proper format is: <span style="color: #5f604b;"><span style="font: signacondcolumn-book;"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt;">https://www.merchant.com/store</span></span></span><br><a href'="www.account.com">Account</a>.
Could you please advise what can be done in order to be able to get the urls in the proper format. I'll only need to use the urls for instance www.merchant.com or www.account.com. I was wondering if I can use a parser but I can't find an appropriate one in Salesforce. Could you please advise if you came across to such problem and how it can be resolved?

Hello,

I need an advice regaring the following implementation. I need to normalize large set of user generated company names for instance 'Derby International LLC', and I need the company name without its extension. In this case the extension is 'LLC'. I use an algorithm which I wrote myself in order to remove the extensions from the name of the company which is working ok. However, in order to get the extesnsions I used a list to store each company extension. Here is the code:List<String> companyExtensionsList = new List<String>(); private static void initCompanyExtensions() { companyExtensionsList.add('ltd'); companyExtensionsList.add('inc'); companyExtensionsList.add('group'); companyExtensionsList.add('corp'); companyExtensionsList.add('llc'); companyExtensionsList.add('llp'); companyExtensionsList.add('lp'); }The company extensions are actually a list of constants.

What I need to know is whether there is a better approach to store the extensions instead of storing the them into a list strings?

Hello,

I would like to know how to pass a parameter from one cotroller to another controller?

For example I am trying to pass the accountId value by using the following code in the first controller
 

public PageReference goToNextPage()
{
PageReference pageRef = Page.MyNextPage;
pageRef.getParameters().put('AccId', accountId);
return pageRef;
}

and according to the log file 

DEBUG|pageRef System.PageReference[/apex/newconvtomerch?AccId=00156000002zGVsAAM

the value I need is added to the AccId.

The problem is that by using the following code

String AccountId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('AccId');

 

 I can not get the AccId value in the second controller which actually is the Extension controller

Could you please advise how to fetch the AccId value I need from the first controller?

Hello,


I would like to know how to be able to display a warning message in a page.

I have created my own custom visual force page:





and in the LeadToMerchConvertController I added the following piece of code.

ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.WARNING,'There is an existing Merchant: ' + buildAccountTemplate() + ' for this Lead: ' + buildLeadTemplate()); ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);

The problem is that the above code is placed inside the constructor:

public LeadToMerchConvertController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
objLead = (Lead)controller.getRecord(); // System.debug('objLead ' + objLead.Id); ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.WARNING,'There is an existing Merchant: ' + buildAccountTemplate() + ' for this Lead: ' + buildLeadTemplate()); ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
}

and if I move the code outside the constructor the warning message disappear from the page.

What I would like to know is it possible to move and use the code outside the constructor and how to make the warning message visible again when the code is outside the constructor?

I will strongly appreciate if you can also, give additional examples/code of how to display warning message in salesforce.

Hi,

I would like to know How to stop converting Lead to Account in before insert trigger without addError() method?

To be more precise what I need to acheve:
1. Stop the process of converting Lead to Account.
2. Display message in the convert Lead to Account page that the respective Lead is not converted.
3. Set and Update the Lead.Status__c field to 'Existing Deal'.

I've tried to achieve the above in before insert trigger and I used addError() method in order to stop the process of converting Lead to Account as well as to dispaly message that the Lead is not converted but the problem is that the addError() method is making a rollback of my changes and I can neither save nor update my changes and records into the Lead database table.
I used @future method as well as a savepoint because I thought it will help me to set and update my changes but that did not help at all. Therefore I decided to start investigating and searching for a feasible way to achive what I want via VF by using controller.

Could you please advise how achive what I want either by using trigger or controller?
