Hi All,
We have the following sharing settings:

Object  : Account, Contract and Asset
Default Internal Access: Public Read/Write
Default External Access: Private

Object  : Contact
Default Internal Access: Controlled by Parent
Default External Access: Controlled by Parent

We have Partner Communities and Accounts are shared via Sharing Rules to corresponding Contacts that belong to that Account.  Since Contacts are Controlled by Parent, we do not need sharing rules on Contact.
Now, we have introduced a criteria-based Sharing Rule that shares few Accounts with All Partner Users (these are community users).
Issue:  Since we share few Accounts with all Partner users, contacts associated to those Accounts are visible to all Partners users by default because Contact’s sharing is Controlled by Parent.
I am sure that we need to change the Default External access and create Sharing Sets / Sharing Rules to fix this issue but, I am trying to see if there are any other alternatives here.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi All,

I found the following in the Lightning Deisgn system :

https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/components/rich-text-editor/

When I select Email, most of the elements like Font, Hyperlink, Select Image etc are shown here. But, when I add this to a lightning component, none of the controls work. Do we need to implement the entire editor functionality in our code? 

Any help or insights are highly appreciated. 

Thanks!

Hi All,

I need a simple help from the coding gurus out there. I’m trying to build a lightning wizard but, because of my poor JavaScript skills I am finding it difficult. All I need is a screen that looks like like the above image : 

we we can show only two steps where when you click on First item you only show one Lightning component and when you click on other stage you hide previous div and show the next one. You can just show and hide Div and I can add components. 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

We have a requirement to Override from field while sending emails to Contacts form the Salesforce Lightning UI. There are no configuration options to make this change. Are there any workarounds?

We are working on designing the integration between Salesforce and Sharepoint using Files connect. We will load all Files and Attachments to Sharepoint and will not use Salesfore Files and attahcments. 

i have the following questions on:

1. Once the files are loaded to Sharepoint, how the corresponsing Attahcment related to Account/Contact/other objects be shown/linked to record detail page on the corresponding object?
2. What should be the folder structure/ file naming onvention on Sharepoint so that the Files location is broken down by corresponding Salesforce Parent records?
3. When a user wants to update Attachments from Salesforce, how can those files be attahced to Sharepoint directly from SF UI?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi All,

I am working on a trigger that sends out an email everytime a Opprotunity record is created. I am using Visualforce email template and setting the TemplateId in the trigger code. But when I do this the merge fields are not Populated from the Opportunity record. Entire content of the Visualforce template is sent in the email except the merge field values. Following is the code:

trigger EmailOnOpp on Opportunity (after insert) {
     
for(Opportunity opp:Trigger.new)
{
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
 
    String[] toRecipients;
    String[] ccRecipients;
    String templateApiName = 'New_VF_Template'; // This is the Visualforce template
    ID targetObjId;
    Id whatId;
    ID orgWideEmailId;
    Boolean saveAsActivity;
    Attachment[] attachList;
    
    
Id templateId;  
templateId = [select id, name from EmailTemplate where developername = : templateApiName].id;
    
    
    email.setToAddresses(toRecipients);
    email.setCcAddresses(ccRecipients);
    email.setTargetObjectId(opp.Assigned_User__c); // Lookup to the user record. 
    
    email.setorgWideEmailAddressId(orgWideEmailId);
    email.setTemplateId(templateId);

    Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {email});
}
}

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Hi All,

I am writing a module to copy the data from all fields from one object to another object. Source object is a object from a Managed Package. We have X amount of field. Destination object is just a object to store that data temoporarily. Destination object will have all Text fields to store the data. Source will have different types of data fields. 

I need a sample code to copy the data from source to destination. More importantly I should be able to customize the field mappings easily. When we create new fields, we should be able to easily customize the list. And the Query has to be generated by readint the mapping. 

There will be few more related objects to be copied and store in few other temporary related objects. 

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi All,

We are trying to generate a table of data and report out the data in a Visualforce page. We also need to export the results into an Excel sheet. The challenge we are facing is that:

• How do we bring the chart data into the Excel that gets generated?
• If we cannot bring the Chart, can we bring store a Excel template that already has chart designed? So that we can pump the data to excel and based on the data the chart would be generated.
• If both of the above options does not work, Can we generate a PDF out of the VF page(including chart) ?

Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Hi All,

I am trying build a few reports and need to have the following visibility. I would also like to know if this can be achieved without setting up Roles and just user Reports to Field in User record. 

• If the user is a Team member, he/she has to see only the records owned by him or records that he/she is working. 
• If Manager views the same report, he/she must see all  records owned by all team memebrs who report to the Manager. 
  • What if the team member is now owner of the record, but actually working on the record. Can the Manager still see the record in his/her report?
• If CEO see the reports, he/she must see all records across the company they belongs to all teams. 
• Also, can the dashboard visibility be the same like above?
• For Another Dashboard:
  • I want to show one report / graph which shows records owned by all users in the team. The logged in user can be either Manager or Team Member. 
  • Few reports can be again based on Managerial level visibility described above. 
• Do I need to create Teams/Groups to achieve this? 
• Most of the reports that we will create are on Custom objects.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving to all in advance!

Hi All,

We have configured communities and enabled Chatter for the same. But however when we add posts/groups on chatter using communities, Administrators( Salesforce internal instance) is not able to view within the Salesforce instance created by Community users. On the other hand whatever Administrators create on Salesforce, community users are unabe to see that.

Is there any configuration setting that can be enable or this? Community users can start creating any posts and the Salesforce Administrator must be able to monitor the same within the Salesforce instance.

Any help will be hihly appreciated.

Hi all,

in the documentation (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/bundle/lightning-datatable/documentation) a way is documented to preselect rows programmatically.
For this reason you should use "selected-rows"-attribut on lightning-datatable.

DOCUMENTATION

The selected-rows attribute enables programmatic selection of rows, which is useful when you want to preselect rows.

<lightning-datatable
    columns={columns}
    data={data}
    key-field="id"
    selected-rows={selectedRows}>
</lightning-datatable>
<lightning-button
    label="Select"
    onclick={handleSelect}>
</lightning-button>

To select a row programmatically, pass in the row key-field value.

// Load data via init handler first
// then handle programmatic selection
handleSelect() {
   const rows = ['a'];
   this.selectedRows = rows;
}

My component looks (simplfied) the following way:

export default class MergeDuplicates extends LightningElement {
    @track preSelectedRows = ['0011x00000KOMiJAAX'];
    
    [...]
}

My html-file (simplified) looks the following way:

<lightning-datatable
       key-field="Id"
       data={data}
       columns={columns}
       onrowselection={handleSelected}
       selected-rows={preSelectedRows}
       is-loading={tableLoadingState}>
</lightning-datatable>

My purpose: Preselect the current account, because the lwc is placed on a lightning record page for account.

My problem: Nothing happens. No checkbox is active.

One of my first ideas was the key-field. I changed it from "id" (lowercase) to "Id" (uppercase) but that don't solve the problem.

I don't know any other simpler way to test the preselect of rows for datatable than my example above.

Any suggestions?

Hi All,

I am trying to render few fields based on the value of a picklist field. When the value of Picklist is changed to Old then only fields A, B, C must be shown. When the Value of Picklist is changed to New then all 5 fields A,B,C,D, E must be shown. Please help me on how to show two different conditions in Visualforce page tag for a Picklist field. 

Following is the code.

 <apex:inputField value="{!A}"  rendered="{!Picklist == 'New'}"/>
  <apex:inputField value="{!B}" rendered="{!Picklist == 'New'}"/>
   <apex:inputField value="{!C}"  rendered="{!Picklist == 'New'}"/>

   <apex:inputField value="{!E}"  rendered="{!Picklist == 'New'}"/>
 
I was able to show all 5 fields when Picklist value is New. How can I add anther condition? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi All,

I need your help wiht a SOQL query. In a visualforce page, I need to show in a Visualforce page all the Approval Process Item that is assigned to a logged in user.

Hi All,

I have set up a multi step Approval Process where a record should be approved by multiple approvers. In each step a person will approve and that record will be sent to another user to approve.But all those users have only Read only access on that object.

Hi All,

I'm trying to stop the email notifications to a community User through APEX code for the following scenarios:

1. Welcome email for a New User creation

I have used the following code to disable the Email notification:

userId.UserPreferencesDisableAllFeedsEmail = true;

Even then the emails are thrown to the user.
Please suggest some workaround for this.

Hello!

I've just started to try to use triggers and need some help.  I thought this would be a pretty quick and easy thing to do, but I've been working on this same issue for a while now and I'm at a loss.  I'm including my draft code but it maybe beyond saving.  FYI - I did talk to SF support and found out that they can't help with detailed coding questions like this....  I hoping he community can help me :)

Here is the need: 

Create a new Opportunity when a Contract record is updated, specifically the field named 'Current Term Expiration Date' is updated.

On the new opportunity, I want to prepopulate data from the contract record

• Record Type = ‘Existing Business’  (01280000000AT8P)
• Service Offering = Contract field ‘Service_Lines__c’
• Opportunity name = Create a new opportunity name.
  • Correct format: Dept # – Account Name – Service Line – Renewal (CTE Year)
  • Fields: ‘Department__c’ – ‘Account’ – ‘Service_Lines__c’ – Renewal (Year(‘Current_Term_Expiration_Date__c’)
    • Example for demonstration purposes only   4444 – Houston Methodist Hospital – IONM – Renewal (2014)
• Stage ‘StageName’= ‘Renewal Notification’
• Model Type  ‘Model_Type__c’= ‘Renewal’

Here is the code that I commented out – (otherwise I couldn’t save)

// Create the Opportunity record only when CTE is Updated

trigger CreateOpportunity on Contract (after update) {
//List<Opportunity> newOpps = new List <Opportunity>();
//for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new);
//if (contract.Current_Term_Expiration_Date__c ==isChanged) {
//Opportunity Opp = new Opportunity();   
//opp.Opportunity_Name__c = ‘Department__c’ – ‘Account’ – ‘Service_Lines__c’ – Renewal (Year(‘Current_Term_Expiration_Date__c’)
//opp. RecordType =‘Existing Business’  (01280000000AT8P)
//opp. Service_Line__c=Contract. ‘Service_Lines__c’
//opp. StageName= ‘Renewal Notification’
//opp. Model_Type__c’= ‘Renewal’

}
    // Inserting the New Opportunity Record.

//try {
     //   insert opptoinsert;
  //  } catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
     //   system.debug (e);
   }

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can anyone provide a basic explanation of what Apex Code Coverage is, and how to increase it?

We just upgraded/migrated our Customer Portal to the new Customer Communities platform (but kept the Customer Portal licenses and did not migrate to new Communities licenses) and now when we create a new Community User the Welcome email is not sending at all - regardless of whether or not you check "Generate new password and notify user immediately" or not - have tried both ways on initial creation and either way it does not send the welcome email.

In the Manage Communities Setup option we do have "Send welcome email" checked and created a new email template to be used with it. The template is active and Available for Use. All of the Portal Profiles and permissions have been given access to the new Community. 

When I first Published the new Community I did not have the Manage Communities Setup option "Send welcome email" checked because I didn't want to blow up all the existing Users' inbox. We were already sending an email to customers announcing the upgraded Community. But then once it was Published and the new email template was created the setting was checked back to "Send welcome email".

What does work is after you create the new user and leave "Send welcome email" unchecked, Save it. Then go back and click 'Edit' and now check "Send welcome email". That will then send the email template set for the 'Forgot Password' and 'Change Password' options in the Manage Communities Setup options.

And apparently, SFDC changed how they treat these emails from Portal to Communities, but does not mention this in any documentation. In Portals an auto-generated password used to be contained directly in the email template, inserted at the bottom.

Now, in the new Communities, that auto-generated password is no longer included, but they changed how they do this for security reasons (winter 14 release update apparently) and instead of sending a username and password in the email they now send a special link that allows people to click and change their password.

The trick is that your forgot your password email template needs to include this special merge field (undocumented anywhere by SFDC from what I found):

{!Community_Url}

If you include that it will be replaced with a special url that allows the user to change their password and logs them in. Thread where I first found this out: http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/17887/communities-forgot-password-emails

This is being successfully included in the 'Forgot Password' and 'Change Password' email templates that were created. So when I go back to the newly created User and click 'Edit' and now check "Send welcome email", it does send the email template set for the 'Forgot Password' and 'Change Password' options to the new user and they are able to get in after setting their password.

Any ideas or help you can provide??

Thanks,
Alex

I have a text field called Test__c

public myCustomSettings__c myCustomSettings=myCustomSettings__c.getValues('PBA');
String imageid = myCustomSetting.Image_Id__c;

If i do hardcode the file ID , I see the image.

//obj.Test__c = '<img alt="comment" src="/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01580000001YP3k" ></img>';

But ofcourse I don't want to hard code the id, so I did the following which doesn't display the image
pbaComment.Test__c = '<img alt="comment" src="/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file="+commentimageid>

Can someone tell me what is the correct syntax?

Thanks.

My org is enabled with state and country picklist the problem is when i am trying to create a new company report it is taking the old state and country fields (text fields) i want to have new fields (picklist) what i have to do ?

I've setup web-to-lead and it all seems to be working, except the redirect. When I click Submit, the lead data is sent to my org, and then it opens a new tab and redirects to the URL defined. However, the original page is still there with all of the fields still filled. I want the redirect to happen on the original page, not a new tab.

I'm not sure what I've done wrong. Below is my code. I tried this on multiple computers (mac/pc) and browsers (chrome, safari, ff) - all with the same results above. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sati

I recently talked to a woman who wants a web-based system that new customers can use to order a service (at a discount for their first order), make a payment, and handle sending periodic emails to their users.

To be honest, even after playing with salesforce's development platform a little bit, I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing Salesforce is intended for. Obviously it wouldn't create the website, but is it capable of handling the backend for this kind of project, as a well as payment processing?

As many of you have discovered, our developer community is awesome. The wealth of knowledge here is phenomenal. This is an all volunteer community and people who take the time to help and post answers do so totally on their own initiative. With that said when someone provides the right answer to your question please take the time to mark their answer as the accepted solution. Also give them a kudos if they've really gone the extra mile to help out. Show some love ;)
