billk Future of "snippet" S-Controls and INCLUDE() function?
With S-Controls soon to be deprecated, we're in the process of converting all of the S-Control content in our AppExchange package to Visualforce. The only question is what to do with "snippet" S-Controls. In particular, we have one snippet that contains the URL of a web application that we link to. Then, in a custom button or link, we can use the INCLUDE() function to reference the URL, e.g.
https://{!INCLUDE($SControl.My_URL)}/Command.aspx?ServerID={!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_130}&SessionID={!$Api.Session_ID}
If we need to change the URL for any reason -- typically, when moving from a test/prerelease version of the external app to production, and vice-versa -- we update the Snippet and all of our links update automatically.
What's the best practice here? Will "snippet" S-Controls and the INCLUDE() function be deprecated, or live on? Is there a different approach?
S-Controls and the INCLUDE() function will be deprecated or will have issues , I am telling you from personal experience.
So the best approach will be to store the code which you have to reuse in a static resource and include it in the visual force page you are using.
