Visualforce page jumps to a text box on load (lightning)

Hello,

We have a button on cases that load up a visualforce page and prompts the user to enter information. There are text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, etc. When the page loads, the page jumps down to the first text box, causing the user to have to scroll back up to enter the checkbox/radio button information. This only seems to happen in lightning. How can we stop this from happening?

how to stop actions from showing up on the feed tab

We have a action that creates an opportunity from a case. When we put the action (which calls a flow) on the page layout, it does not show up with all the other actions or buttons, but rather it shows up on the feed tab on the page. How can we change this? Users do not want this on the feed tab, they want it at the top of the page with the rest of the buttons.

How to fast lookup salesforce files within a flow?

Hello,

Currently, we have a flow on an opportuntiy that checks to see how many attachments there are. We are going to move to salesforce files and one of the settings we have enabled is the "Files uploaded to the Attachments related list on records are uploaded as Salesforce Files, not as attachments"

Since these files are now being uploaded as files and not attachments anymore, I need to change the flow to look up and count the number of files instead of attachments. However, inside of flow, I do not see a "Files" option. Is it possible to fast look up files inside of flow?

How to select "Run specified tests" when deploying to production from the Force IDE? (Eclipse)

When we select the "Default" option for example inside of change sets, we have many tests fail (some seem to be from unmanaged/managed packages) so we dont worry about them. Instead, we just select "Run specified tests" to get around this. How can we select this option when deploying from the Force IDE? Otherwise tests we cant control fail and we cant deploy.

How to turn off implicit sharing rules?

For example, we use territories in our org to organize our sales reps. When we remove them from the territory/shift them around, they should no longer have access to the account. But we notice that people who have had opportunities related to an account that they are no longer on the territory for still have access to the account since they are an owner of a child reocrd. How can we turn this off? They should have NO access to the account if they are not in the territory.

Value 'Wed Apr 25 00:00:00 GMT 2018' cannot be converted from Text to com.force.swag.soap.DateOnlyWrapper

Hello All.

I know there is a current limiation to dates fields and the inputhidden fuction in salesforce (https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p300000008dpwAAA)

However, I am getting this same error when the page is displaying a date field on a radio button option


Example:

assetToGet and assetGot are both instances of a custom object. 'mf' is the the repeat loop variable that contains the field names. So its dynaymically creating radio buttons. However, when selecting an option that is a date field and writing back to salesforce, I get an error (Value 'Wed Apr 25 00:00:00 GMT 2018' cannot be converted from Text to com.force.swag.soap.DateOnlyWrapper) 
<apex:selectOption itemLabel="{!assetToGet[mf]}" itemValue="{!assetToGet[mf]}" ></apex:selectOption>
<apex:selectOption itemLabel="{!assetGot[mf]}" itemValue="{!assetGot[mf]}" ></apex:selectOption>

Is this also another limitation?

Display Names of relationships while dynamically creating visualforce page bindings?

Hey all,

I have some custom visualforce/apex that I wrote to merge custom object records. It works well, though the one issue we have is displaying "friendly names" rather than the ids when it comes to lookup/master detail fields.

Below is part of the visualforce page code. 

'fields' is a list of the objects fields.

'mergedAsset' is a new sObject (i.e. custom_object__c CO = new custom_object__c()) 

assetToGet is record 1 (custom_object__c)

assetGot is record 2 (custom_object__c)

You loop through the fields dynamically creating radio buttons for user selection. though, on relationship fields it displays the lookups id. Is there a way you can see to display the actualy name of the record rather than the id? 
<apex:repeat value="{!fields}" var="mf">
         
             <apex:selectRadio value="{!mergedAsset[mf]}" layout="pageDirection" disabled="{!IF(assetToGet[mf] = assetGot[mf],true,false)}">
                            
                           
                            <apex:selectOption itemLabel="{!assetToGet[mf]}" itemValue="{!assetToGet[mf]}" ></apex:selectOption>
                            <apex:selectOption itemLabel="{!assetGot[mf]}" itemValue="{!assetGot[mf]}" ></apex:selectOption>
                        
                            </apex:selectRadio>
                    <br/>
            
         
         </apex:repeat>

Upload a CSV using apex/visualforce and represent as a pageblocktable BUT for an unknown object/unknown amount of fields

Hello!

We have made programs in the past that allow users to upload CSVs and import data. (But for a specific object, and a specific set of fields). If you know the object, and the format of the CSV, its very simple to represent your data as a pageblocktable. (Set values in column 1 to Account.Name for example)

However, in this case, is it possible to upload a CSV and represet the data as a pageblock table but for an unknown object/unknown set of fields?

How to remove/make use of the default save button that shows up on the lightning visualforce page action?

Currently, I have a visualforce page being called from an Account action button inside of lightning. (standard controller + an extension).

How can I either get rid of the 'Save' button or make use of it? I am not 'Saving' anything however, this program will actually make calls to an external API.

Is it possible to grab child accounts in a single SOQL query?

For example, if I wanted to grab accounts and their contacts in a single SOQL query I could do this:

[SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Contacts) FROM Account]


Is this possible to do with child accounts? (Using the Standard "Parent" field)

When I attempt this:

[SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Accounts) FROM Account]

I get this error:

"Didn't understand relationship 'Accounts' in FROM part of query call. If you are attempting to use a custom relationship, be sure to append the '__r' after the custom relationship name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names."

Is this possible?

Question about bulk loads running in serial

Hello!

We have a few programs that bulk load data in to Salesforce nightly. My question is: If we bulk load two data sets in serial (One load for accounts, the other for cases) will both loads run in serial? (i.e. accounts are loaded first, then cases) or will they run side by side and load data to their respective objects?

Concurrency issues during salesforce bulkload nightly jobs

Hello,

We use The salesforce API to bulkload records from our ERP system in to SF nightly. However, we are running in to an issue.

We regularly run in to the 'TooManyLockFailure' error. We did some googling and read a few threads on concurrency and bulkloads (i.e. running things in serial so nothing bumps in to each other)

However the above is still happening, is there any way to better handle/avoid this error? Salesforce says it retries the batch but it has never once succeeed. This error seems to happen randomly, after we notice records have failed, we run the program again with no issue. What gives?

Parsing XML using Dom on more complex xml?

I am currently trying to parse an XML response, however it does not seem to want to parse whats being returned, and im not sure if its because of the complexity of the response, or if im doing something wrong.

when I call getChildElement on this, it returns null, everytime. I have tried calling getChildElement('Envelope',null)​, getChildElement('Body',null)​ and many others. Always returns null. Am i doing something wrong?

Questions about Custom console components on cases

Hello all.

I have two questions regarding custom console components used on the page layouts of cases:


1. When the page loads, the right side panel is always loaded and tabed out. But the left side panel is always hidden and we have to click on the arrow to get it to show up. Why does the right side show up but not the left? How can we choose which panels automatically show up on the page without having the click the arrow?


2. Width px does not seem to work. We have one panel with two related lists. It doesnt matter if you set the width to 1 or 9000. it stays the same. Does anyone know why?

How to stop a user from viewing the options on 'My Settings'?

We are currently setting up a very limited profile (No access but to a very specific visual force page) that will be used by contractors. When they log in, it automatically takes them to the visual force page, which is what we want. However, if the user were to edit the URL (removing /apex/mypage/ from the url) they will be taken to the normal salesforce home page. we have removed all acess to apps and hidden all tabs, they have no permission to any object and they have no system permissions. However, they are still able to go to 'My settings' and mess with things we do not want them to be able to. How can we remove access to their settings? (i.e. they can still make groups, which they shouldnt be able to)

List has more than 1 row for assignment to SObject... but we need to display more than one row.

I am trying to do a summary a a custom time object we have for Cases. I have embded the VFP on a cases page layout. When people enter time, it groups together the person entering the time, and the amount they have billed. But I keep getting the 'List has more than 1 row for assignment to SObject' error. I am not sure why, this query will 99% percent of the time have more than 1 record (or more than 1 person entering records) because of how our cases work. Why cant I display more than 1 record? Other Programs we have made will return multipe records and then we loop through them on the VFP to display. Not sure why there is a limit on this program though. 

Code:
  
public class TimeSummaryController {
    public string caseid {get;set;}
     private final Case cc;
    public AggregateResult timeq {get;set;}
    public TimeSummaryController(ApexPages.StandardController stdController){
        this.cc = (Case)stdController.getRecord();
        
    }
    
    public AggregateResult getTimes(){
        try {
       	 timeq = [SELECT Engineer_Name__r.Name enr,SUM(Total_Billed__c)total_billed FROM Time__c WHERE Case__c = :cc.Id GROUP BY Engineer_Name__r.Name ORDER BY SUM(Total_Billed__c) DESC];
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.debug(e);
