Is there a Customer Portal Flag?

Hi all,

 

How can I tell my Visualforce page is accessed from customer portal?
Is there a profile, permission or system flag that i can check?

 

Thanks,

John

This can be achieved by using the  SOQL query in apex. Go through the sample code given below :

 

User usr = [Select ContactId, Profile.Name,IsPortalEnabled from user where Id=: UserInfo.getUserId()];

if (usr.IsPortalEnabled  = true){// your business logic here}

 

Hope this helps.

Hi again Pradeep,

 

Your suggestion didn't solve the problem for Professional Edition accounts.

When my customers try to install the application that check fails in Professional Edition:

 

User usr = [Select ContactId, Profile.Name,IsPortalEnabled from user where Id=: UserInfo.getUserId()];

if (usr.IsPortalEnabled  = true)

{

// your business logic here

}

 

I tried this in System Log of a Professional account:

User usr = [Select IsPortalEnabled from user where Id=: UserInfo.getUserId()];
System.debug('Customer Portal user' + usr.IsPortalEnabled);

 

and got this error:

Compile Error: line 1, column 12: No such column 'IsPortalEnabled' on entity 'User'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

 

But this works flawlessly on a Enterprise/Developer account.

 

Do you have any other suggestion to fix this?

 

Thanks,

John

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm having the same issue. How can I tell which SOQL to use before using it?

I found below workaround in Apex

public Boolean getIsCustomerPortalUser()
    {
        String restrictedPortalUserTypeValues =  'Customer Portal User,High Volume Portal,Customer Portal Manager';
		// You can get from custom setting or other config file 
          
        Boolean customerPortalUser = false;
        String userType = UserInfo.getUserType();
        
        List<String> restrictedValues = null;
        if(restrictedPortalUserTypeValues != null && restrictedPortalUserTypeValues != '')
        {
            restrictedValues = restrictedPortalUserTypeValues.split(',');   
            for(Integer i = 0; i < restrictedValues.size(); i++)
            {
                if(userType == restrictedValues[i])
                {
                    customerPortalUser = true;
                    return customerPortalUser;
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if(userType != 'Standard')
            {
                customerPortalUser = true;
            }
        }
        return customerPortalUser;
    }

 You can find list of User Type's in http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_user.htm
