SSO to Box.com with Salesforce as IDP

Hi,

 

I want to use Salesforce as an IDP and Box.com as a SP. I want to login to Box.com from my customer portal.

In other words, I want to use the portal credentials to login to Box. The appExchange app for Box will allow the integration of Salesforce.com platform and Box. Not the portal.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Prakash

Exporting SalesForce Application Objects

Hi --
 
I have created and uploaded a custom application/package consisting of s-controls, custom objects, additional fields for standard objects, etc.  Is there any way to export all of this data into a file external to SalesForce for archiving or source management purposes?  The file would contain any and all additions to the base SalesForce product that the application contains.
 
Thanks!

Help with S-Control to copy Opportunity Fields to Contract based on Contract Record Type

I need help pointing me to the documentation that describes how to create an s-control for the following:
 
Background:
- We have created a lookup field from the Contract to the Opportunity since all of our Contracts are associated with an Opportunity
- We are using Contract Types to distinguish the differences in required fields based on type, and have associated page layouts for each type. 
- Some Contract Types are direct results of an Opportunity (Acquisition, Renewal), while other Contracts are actually addendums or changes to the original Contract.  These Contracts will supersede the original Contract.  (These are the cases where we may have more than one Contract associated with an Opportunity.)
 
Solution Needed:
- We would like to override the "New" button for the Contract detail list within the Opportunity page so that for specific Contract Record Types (Acquisition, Renewal but not Addendums), 5 fields from the Opportunity will be copied to the Contract.
 
We started with a trigger that populates the Contract fields from the Opportunity fields, but of course, this happens after the user selects to save the new Contract.  We would like the fields to be prepopulated on the Contract detail page before the user starts entering fields for the Contract.
 
Any help you can provide would be most appreciated!

SF Report Embedded in an S-Control - Remove Grand Total Column

Hi,

I know I should probably use visualforce somehow, but i've inherited a system that i'm not ready to make wholesale changes to just yet.

A matrix report is embedded in an S-Control using the following code:

Code:
Embedded Report:<br>
<!--
https://emea.salesforce.com/00O20000001uILK—pv0=00120000008XmLY
-->

<div style="vertical-align: middle; align:center; cursor:pointer;" align="center" id="embedreport" name="embedreport" onclick="clicked('00O20000001uILK', accid);" onLoad="loadreport('00O20000001uILK', accid);”>
<img src="/img/waiting_dots.gif" border="0">
</div>

<script>loadreport('00O20000001uILK', accid, 'embedreport');</script>

<br>

Hopefully someone knows a way to prevent the Grand Total Column displaying, either at the source or just by cropping the image. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Adrian

Eclipse IDE/Packaging/General Release Question

Hi All,

Being fairly new to Salesforce, I am a little confused with the various options that the Eclipse IDE and Packaging solution offer.
It seems to me that Packaging allows you to include almost everything in a package, however page layouts and record types for standard objects seem to be missing?  Similarly, the Eclipse IDE allows you to move a lot of metadata between sandbox and production.  Reports and Dashboards seem to be unavailable in the metadata at the moment though?

What I want to do is move absolutely everything from my sandbox environment to the production environment.  The intention would be to make any changes in the sandbox, then move them to production once some testing was complete.  I want to be able to move config setup in a traditional software development release process, with no need for manual re-keying in production.

I am confused with the various options out there, as nothing seems to give the ability to basically copy one environment setup to another.

Can someone please advise how others are getting around this problem, what tool is preferred and how I should best proceed?

Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Regards,
Andrew

What type of security review?

Hi!

I've build a couple of S-controls (HTML/AJAX/JS), that I would like to make freely available on AppExchange. But I'm confused about the different types of security reviews. The control retrieve data from a foreign system, and displays it in the SalesForce app (Contacts and Accounts).

Would that be a native SalesForce-app? The definition of a native app, is (among others) that the data is stored on the SalesForce platform. Being a mash-up, it gets it data from a foreign system, but it doesn't deliver data to a foreign system.

Cheers,
Christian

Is it possible to build a stand-alone application using Force.com? What I mean is - Is it possible that customers can install an application I built without using the Salesforce CRM service?

Prevent framing when using an inline S-Control

I have the need to implement a 3rd party form as an S-Control, but Salesforce forces this to be in an iFrame when it's added to the page layout.  This causes any landing page I send the user to to be loaded in that iFrame rather than the normal window.

I'd like to know if there's a way to either _not_ have my S-Control be boxed in an iFrame, or to break out of that iFrame when clicking a link/button inside it.

I do not have the ability to edit the code of the page they are landing on.

auto-populate s-control

I found the following article that provides an s-control example that auto-populates field values for a new contact with values from the account record from which the contact is created.
 
Here is the URL to the article and example: http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Auto_Populate_Contact.html
 
I have a couple of questions about this s-control. 
 
I believe fields must be prefixed based on a combination of the object name addreviation (e.g. "con"), plus the ordinal position of the field on the Page Layout (e.g. Contact). For example, Account is the 4th field on the Contact page layout, when counting from top to bottom, left to right, within each page layout Section. Thus the field name on the page layout is "con4".  Is this correct for the prefixing of the field names?
 

If so, for custom objects, what would be the object prefix?

When I tried to add an additional field to auto-populate, over and beyond the address fields, it did NOT work.  Why?  I followed the exact structure.

There are also other major drawbacks to this S-Control, even if it does work:

  1. You have to be very careful about adding or moving fields in the page layouts after you implement the S-Control, because the S-Control assumes static ordinal positions of the fields it references.
  2. This S-Control assumes the user is adding a new Contact from the Account page, so it alreadys knows the Account ID.  What if you add the Contact from the Contact page instead?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

If there are any examples that explain how to accomplish this, it would be greatly appreciated.
