Hello,

I recently tried to add sites to my developer account, using the directions here: https://www.developerforce.com/events/sitespreviewsignup/registration.php

which should have added 'sites' development capability to my account.  After completion, I still did not have access ( did not see the new entry in the setup->develop list ).

I tried logging out, purging my cache, and logging back in. Anyone have other suggestions?  Should I just create a new developer account?

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would point me in the right direction for some functionality that I would like to build into our nonprofits website. Currently, we are running employment applications through a FormAssembly form, into Salesforce.

I was wondering if it's possible to create a login system that communicates with Salesforce - but I keep getting hung up on the authenticated user licenses. It makes no sense to have to pay for a license for someone to just create an account, and submit and application. It'd be great to have this login so that we can have one location for them to keep track of past applications, and other information.

Is there a way to create a single point login, that a user could create an account, and submit an employment application that feeds the information into salesforce? I'm assuming this means I'll have to do something OUTSIDE of salesforce for the login, but was just hoping for some tips on how to set that up, and what I'd need for the information to only be visible once the user is logged in.

Thanks.

My organization is using the Salesforce Nonprofit Starter Pack, Enterprise Edition, and needs to develop web forms to support the following use case:

1) An individual goes to a page and fills out an inquiry form on which they provide their basic information (name, email, how they heard about us, and a few custom fields).

2) The individual is then redirected back to our site, so they can download more information about the internships we offer.

3) An email is sent out thanking them for their interest, and inviting them to fill out our pre-interview questionnaire.

At first, I considered the Web-to-Lead form, plus a triggered workflow action, but I have determined that the Web-to-Lead is too limited, since we need the form in step #3 to be pre-populated with the information from step #1. Web-to-Lead forms don't allow for pre-population of data as far as I can tell, since the forms are POSTed cross-domain, and there's no kind of session or query string identifier available.

Following that, I considered using the API in conjunction with our CMS (Drupal), but I couldn't get those webforms to successfully generate new objects in the Salesforce database. It seemed like a connection was being made via SOAP, but no object mappings were found.

So I have settled upon using Salesforce's Sites feature, unless you all would recommend something else (such as an AppExchange add-on like Zoomerang or FormExchange).

I have followed the instructions for creating a Web-to-Lead form given in http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Web2Lead_with_Force.com_Sites. However, I have the following problems/questions:

1) The page that I have created goes to a page that is not accessible after form submission (it says "Login Required"). This happens both on the developer and the live Site.

    a) I don't know how to get the "thankyou" page that I created for the custom controller to be accessible to the Guest User.

    b) I don't know how to deploy the custom controller Apex code from developer to live.

    c) Ideally, I would not like a thank-you page at all, but rather a redirection back to a page on my site, as with a regular web-to-lead form.

2) "Company" is a required field. However, our organization is non-profit, and the candidates for our positions don't have a company with which they should be associated. Is there a way to pre-populate (or, ideally, hide) this field, and have it always say "Individual" so that the bucket account from the Nonprofit Starter Pack works?

3) I don't know how to write the code, to be triggered by a successful form submission, that would send an email to a user with a link to the 2nd form, the one with the pre-interview questionnaire fields on it, and their initial lead fields pre-populated.

4) So far if I go to my page, and append ?id=[LeadObjectID] onto the end of it, then I will only be able to see the values for the lead object, not edit them. Furthermore, if one of the non-required fields was not filled out the first time, then it will not show at all.

Is there a way to make it possible for users to update the lead object (so they can fill out the interview information), or would I have to create a custom object in order to do this?

I hope all that is clear. If you have questions, I'll try to clarify what I want.

Are there any special considerations when importing a DOCX or XLSX file via the API?

For all other file types I simply convert the file to base64 and copy it to the body.  When I do this with DOCX or XLSX the file is corrupt when I try to open it from salesforce (via the user interface).

Any ideas?
