Custom merge fields in a custom tab on the partner portal.

I am creating a custom tab for the partner portal, and I have two custom fields I want to use to pass in to the tab url as GET variables.

So in the URL we have something like:

http://www.url.com/login.aspx?Username={!User.Custom_Username__c}&HashWord={!User.Custom_Hashword__c}

 

The variables are correct and verify - they work when logged in as a standard salesforce user. But when you log in as a partner portal user it doesn't work.

 

Is there any way I can get ANY custom data from either the contact or the user in the partner portal to be accessed when using a custom tab?

 

Thanks in advance,

Rich.

It wasn't that. It was my fault :smileymad:

 

The custom fields I created did not have visibility to these user profiles.

 

That helped to nudge me in the right direction though. Thanks :)

Hi,

 

I guess the problem should be with the Portal User profile. Check whether the portal user has Read permission to accounts and Contacts.You should be able to get the parameters in the web tab.

 

Thanks
