Hello, I was trying to figure out what are some of the ways to detect and send changes to an outside system and inform them of the type of change and what changes via PLE. So, for example, we will be Updating a record that will, in term, fire a PLE to an outside system that is subscribed via CometD. Lets say we update the same records status and maybe a field. How would we send that information to the outside system notifying them of the type of change and changes. I looked into Change Data Capture, but it didn't seem to be working.
Trying to find out if i can rotate an image once the visualforce page is rendered as a PDF, when it is rendered as HTML the image shows correctly the way you take the image also the css below works with it on HTML but not PDF which is strange because the other style is working for the page when it is in PDF. 
<style type="text/css" media="print">
			@page {
				size: landscape
			}
.imageClass {
				-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
				-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
				-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
				-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
				transform: rotate(90deg);
				height: 200px;
				width: 200px;
			}

<img src="{!'/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/' + Document_Id__c}" alt="before photo" class="imageClass"


-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
transform: rotate(90deg);
Has anyone been able to add a Photo to the Service Report Template? I imagine you would be able to do this with a rich-text field on the work order or service appointment object, but was curious if anyone has any different approaches
When implementing the Lightning Web Component Dual Listbox in Salesforce Mobile App and you add a lot of values that would require you to scroll, the scrolling function does not work.

I used the sample code and just put it into a tab for the salesforce moblie app : 
 
<template>
	<lightning-dual-listbox name="languages" label="Select Languages" source-label="Available" selected-label="Selected" field-level-help="Select your preferred languages"
	 options={options} onchange={handleChange}></lightning-dual-listbox>
	<div class="slds-box">
		<p>Selected values are: {selected}</p>
	</div>
</template>


import { LightningElement, track } from 'lwc';

export default class DualListboxSimple extends LightningElement {
    @track _selected = [];

    get options() {
        return [
            { label: 'English', value: 'en' },
            { label: 'German', value: 'de' },
            { label: 'Spanish', value: 'es' },
            { label: 'French', value: 'fr' },
            { label: 'Italian', value: 'it' },
            { label: 'Japanese', value: 'ja' },
        ];
    }

    get selected() {
        return this._selected.length ? this._selected : 'none';
    }

    handleChange(e) {
        this._selected = e.detail.value;
    }
}

 
Looking to use Google Translate within Salesforce Communities, we are currently using the Aura Framework for most of our components but will be transitioning into LWC.  
Hello All,

I have created a community and attached to that community an app using react native. The app is fine, but the problem I am having is promoting the app with the native app browser for Andriod. The Apple one works fine as it is only a meta tag that is put into the community builder. I went to the google dev land and found this article.

I tried to add a lightning container to the component but that didn't work as well, and I am not too familiar with manifest files. Any type of guidance would be great.
Hello I am trying to create a autocomplete using lighting components, The first attempt was to use the lighting:combobox but this doesn't allow me to use the input box such as input of type search. I am able to use some of the documentation from the lighting design system, but I am unable to set the focus to the 1st index of the listitem in my aura:iteration. It would be great to just use the lightning:combox instead of using all of the markup from the lightingdesignsytem. One thing to mention is I don't get the options when the page loads I don't receive any options for the filteredOptions attribute until i type 2 characters into the input

Was wondering if anyone has had success with creating a record using lighting data service that will bring in the picklist values for a field using lightning select and just binding the value to a aura iteration. Or do i still need to Schema.DescribeSObjectResult etc.. to retrieve the values from the server.  
Hello All,

I am currently having issues with allowing visitors to self-register in a lightning community portal. I have enabled "Person Accounts". Within in the site builder, I have the community configured to allow for self-registration and the profile is setup to the "Customer Community User Login" Profile. When I try to register I am receiving a error, "The error message is: portal account owner must have a role". I understand if I didn't have "Person Account" this would be fine because I can set that account with a user that has a role. The "Guest User" default for accounts is set to the "Person Account" record type, it is the only record type for that profile and it is the default RT. All of the files I am using are the ones that are created automatically when you create a custom community.

Hello I am using the Search input from the lightning input components.
<div onkeyup="{! c.handleKeyUp }"> <lightning:input aura:id="enter-search" name="enter-search" label="Search when user hits the 'enter' key" type="search" />

When I am implementing it this is fine, the problem i am having is how would i clear the contents or have a event fire when you click the "Clear Icon" that is built in the component. 
 
Has anyone created a question and answer bank sort of like creating a form.

Hello I was trying to figure out how i can set the value on a Apex Param 
here is my visualforce:

<button onclick="done();" class="btn btn right" type="button" id="doneButton" style="border: none; background: none; width: 100px; background-color: #dcdcdc; color: #ffffff;">Done</button>
                     <apex:actionFunction action="{!done}" name="SetHiddenValue" reRender="">
                        <apex:param name="brandCode" value="" assignto="{!iaFet.Brand_CD__c}" id="brandCode" />
                    </apex:actionFunction>
and my java script where i get the values that i need:
function getRequiredValues(){
                var brandCodeVal  = $('#brandDropdown option:selected').val();                            
                console.log(brandCodeVal);
               
            }
when i run this i get the value that i want in the console.log but i am trying to figure out how i can pass that value to the apex: param value so then i can assign it to something in my controller and save the record with the value. 
Hello all I am looking for some help or to know if this is even possible, I have a standard picklist on a custom object type_co__c this field is populated with codes like, "IA, PA", What I am trying to recieve is to create a visual force page but instead of displaying IA i want to display "In Area" and "Past Area", but the values in the picklist should stay the same because i would like to use data loader to upsert to this field still using the IA and PA values. 
Trying to find out if i can rotate an image once the visualforce page is rendered as a PDF, when it is rendered as HTML the image shows correctly the way you take the image also the css below works with it on HTML but not PDF which is strange because the other style is working for the page when it is in PDF. 
<style type="text/css" media="print">
			@page {
				size: landscape
			}
.imageClass {
				-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
				-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
				-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
				-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
				transform: rotate(90deg);
				height: 200px;
				width: 200px;
			}

<img src="{!'/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/' + Document_Id__c}" alt="before photo" class="imageClass"


-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
transform: rotate(90deg);
Hello, I was trying to figure out what are some of the ways to detect and send changes to an outside system and inform them of the type of change and what changes via PLE. So, for example, we will be Updating a record that will, in term, fire a PLE to an outside system that is subscribed via CometD. Lets say we update the same records status and maybe a field. How would we send that information to the outside system notifying them of the type of change and changes. I looked into Change Data Capture, but it didn't seem to be working.
We are trying to configure a survey, and have it attached to either at the Case Level or Care Request Level in HC.  

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kevin
