Keith654 Can a custom button added to a custom object defined in a managed package be itself packaged?
Posts like this:
say that custom buttons and links can be packaged. Can anyone confirm and point to documentation on how to package a custom button added to a custom object from a managed package?
The Eclipse IDE will recognize a custom button added to say Contact, but it doesn't seem to recognize a custom button added to say xyz_CustomObject__c from a managed package. And I can't find any documentation that covers this case.
Thanks,
Keith
Yes, these can be packaged.
Andrew,
Thanks for that confirmation and I can see my button in the "Add to Package" page under Component Type "Button or Link".
But what I don't understand is how to get that definition back into the Force.com IDE via the "Add/Remove Metadata Components..." so that I can then get it into SVN. The categories in that UI are different and do not include "Button or Link" at the root level and nothing is returned under "objects - custom".
Thanks,
Keith
Not sure about the IDE. Add them in the UI and then run a retrieve on the package from the IDE. That should show you how they will appear in the XML format.
Yes thats what I tried and I didn't get any change in the XML in the IDE. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Keith
