Hi,

 

before I start trying this out, is there any reason why I can't fake the mass email functionality using a Visualforce email template by looping through a list of contacts and sending individual emails with APEX?

 

 

I know there is a limit of 1000 per day and that's fine. Are there any other limitations?

 

And since I'm here...do you know if someone has already done something similar:p ?

 

Please SF allow us to use the VF templates on mass emails...they are kind of useless the way they are now!

 

Thanks,

Hi all,

 

I think the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway.

 

Is it possible to attach a visualforce page rendered as pdf that uses a custom controller, in a visualforce email template?

 

I saw a post that describes using a component, but I already have the page and the controller built...it seems that it shouldn't take much to make that available as an attachment in an email template. It's kind of silly to have to duplicate things.

 

Are there any workarounds?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

I use salesforce Perl API and I can execute queries on
most saleforce tables (72 of them). However, there are 8
tables which I cannot query at all. These tables are: Name,
NoteAndAttachment, EmailStatus, OpenActivity,AdditionalNumber,
ProcessInstanceHistory, Approval and ActivityHistory.

When these same tables are queried with Perl API the following error
is generated:

INVALID_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION: entity type does not support query

Its worth pointing out that these entities ARE in the wsdl file,
and they ARE being referenced by other tables, and I CAN call
describe() on them from the API, and all the correct fields and their
types are returned..

So, does anybody have any ideas why do these tables not support
queries ? And what could I possibly do to debug this matter ?

Thanks ahead for any suggestions,

Hi Guys, I need to write a PHP script and dont want to start from scratch.

What I'm looking for is a script that takes a username and password (that is entered on a form), and checks to see if that user/pass exists in our SalesForce customer database, but also checks a third field which defines whether or not they are a subscriber.

So:

<Connect to salesforce>

<Select Customer where user = x>
    If {user doesnt exist -> return to login and show error: user does not exist}
    If {user.pass doesnt = y -> return to login and show error: invalid password}
   
// Check subscription status
    If {customer.subscription_status = inactive -> return to login and show error: Subscription Inactive}

else { Set session var for username and log the customer into the website}


Anyone have something like this sitting around?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi, I'm getting a persistent INVALID_LOGIN problem...

I am 100% sure the username and password are right.  I cut and paste them into the web login and that worked. 
The wsdl is a fresh download from this morning and it is accessible in that spot.



here's the code.  it's just a little POC for connecting to SF via PHP api and nothing is doing yet:

ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
require_once (DIR_FS_SF_SOAP_CLIENT.'SforceEnterpriseClient.php');
require_once (DIR_FS_SF_SOAP_CLIENT.'SforceHeaderOptions.php');

try
{

   
    $mySforceConnection = new SforceEnterpriseClient ();
    $mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection(DIR_FS_SF_SOAP_CLIENT."enterprise.wsdl.xml");
    $mylogin = $mySforceConnection->login("XXX", "YYY");

      $userResult = $mylogin->userInfo;
      print_r($userResult);
      echo $userResult->userFullName.', your session id is '.$mylogin->sessionId;

      $query = 'SELECT * FROM Opportunity';
      $response = $mySforceConnection->query(($query));

      print_r($response);

      foreach ($response->records as $record)
      {
       print_r($record);
      }

      print_r($mySforceConnection->getLastRequest());

      $bagent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
      echo '<b>USER AGENT:</b> '.$bagent.'<br><br>';

}
catch (Exception $e)
{
  echo $e->faultstring;
}
