Ultimate goal:  I need to end up with a list of 100 Contacts based on two other related objects and certain criteria.  
Background:  The Account object is related to two other objects Contact (lookup, 1 Account can have many Contacts) and I have another object, a custom object, BD__c, with a master detail relationship to the Account object (1 Account can have many BD__c's).   

To start with, I return a list of these BD__c and I want to order them by Opportunity_Amount__c (descending):

BD__c record #1 Opportunity_Amount__c = $100,000.
BD__c record #2 Opportunity_Amount__c = $50,000.
BD__c record #3 Opportunity_Amount__c = $20,000.
BD__c record #4 Opportunity_Amount__c = $0.

Problem to solve:  Since each BD__c is associated to an Account I want the contacts from the associated account from BD record #1, record #2, record #3 (and so forth) until the total # of contacts reaches 100. In other words I want the first 100 contacts associated with accounts related to the BD__c records who have the highest Opportunity_Amount__c.

So far the code I have is:  

Set<Id> setOfBDIds = new Set<Id>();
for (BD__c bbb : [SELECT b.Account__r.Id  FROM BD__c WHERE Opportunity_Amount__c > 0 ORDER BY Opportunity_Amount__c DESC]) 
{
    setOfBDIds.add(bbb.Account__r.Id);
}
List<Contacts> contacts = [SELECT AccountId, Name FROM Contact WHERE AccountId IN =: setOfBDIds LIMIT 100];

The problem is that, with this structure, the contacts in the list won't necessarily be from the BD__c/Accounts who have the highest Opportunity_Amount__c - they can be from any account.

I thought about trying this using SOQL but according to this:  https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_soql_relationships_query_limits.htm (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_soql_relationships_query_limits.htm" target="_blank)

"In each specified relationship, only one level of parent-to-child relationship can be specified in a query"

Any thoughts on how this can be acheived? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The current scenario is that a custom Opportunity Field (Cfield__c) needs to be required when the Opportunity.Amount >= $200,000 and Stage is A,B,C, and E. Through the UI, a red bar needs to appear next to the field to indicate it is required when it meets the criteria above, but needs to be "grayed out" (not visible) if the Amount < $200,000.

How may i use an apex trigger or validation rule to do this? If this cannot be done with Apex Trigger or validation rule, what other method may I use? Ideally I would like to stay away from overriding the Opportunity Edit page with a VF page. 

I thought i could do this with Salesforce Flow, but I am new to that and it seems cumbersome to get that to work.

Requirements:

• Opportunity.Amount >= $200,000
• Stage = A,B,C, and E.
• Cfield__c is required (dropdown with Yes or No as values)
• Red bar appears next to Cfield__c to indicate it is required.

when I run the block of ‘static’ code in execute anonymous, it throws an error “only top-level methods in the class are allowed to be declared as static”. I tried my code also: there also same issue.
 public StringArrayTest {  public static void generateStringArray() {}  }
 Can anyone help on this?

thank you.

I have written a trigger to send email. Whenever the trigger is fired i am getting equal no of mails which is equal to no of records retrieved.

Ex - If i am getting 3 records, three times i am receiving email. Can anybody tell me where i am going wrong . I want a single email to be fired.

I am trying to add some custom buttons to a VF page and keep getting the following error when ever I try to add it.  Field $label.Retunt_To_Corporate_Transportation_Pro_Serv does not exist.  Check spelling.  The spelling is correct and the button is set up exactly the same as other buttons that have been added to the VF page.  I am pretty new to this so I am definately missing many of the nuances of VF development but I cannot see why it will not let me add the field.  I also created 3 other fields on the same object and none will work with the page either I just get the same error.

Hi Community,

I am new to Salesforce and using APEX.  I am completely self-taught too.  With that said, I am trying to learn triggers and cannot find an exact example of how to achieve what I am working on.  My problem is that when a Contact updates their information through my Visualforce page, Salesforce will overwright fields with the new data they inputted - which is great, except for the 'Description' field.  I want the new 'Description' to append to whatever they previously had written in that field.  Can anyone help me?

The pseudo code would be something like:

trigger UpdateDescription on Contact (before update) {
          Contact.Description = Contact.OldDescription + " " + Contact.NewDescription;

}

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi guys,

I have custom opportunity field named Total_Amount__c.
I need to get Top 5 accounts with opportunities based on Total Amount.
Need to code above(not in reports)

Note: Consider if an account have 5 opps, then the sum of 5 opp fields need to be taken into consideration.


Thanks in advance,
 

Hi friends

I need to count the number of contacts for each account. so I created a custom field (Number_of_Contacts_c) on the account object.
For new accounts I have written code and its working fine. Also when I delete a contact in detail page of account  its workign fine.
There will be old accounts with no contacts records in detail page prior to this code.  I am stuck here as how to update this accounts and show the number of contacts records

apex class code:
public class CountContacts_InAccount
{
      public void CountContacts()
      {
          list<Account> noofcontacts = [select Id,Number_of_contacts__c from Account];
          list<Contact> conforcontacts = [select ID,AccountID from Contact];
          
          for (Account acct : noofcontacts ) 
          {
              list<ID> conIds = new list<ID>();

              for (Contact con : conforcontacts )
              {
                    if (con.AccountId == acct.Id)
                    {
                       conIds.add(con.Id);
                       acct.Number_of_contacts__c= conIds.size();
                     }
              }
         }
          Database.Update(noofcontacts);   
     }
}

trigger code:
trigger trg_CountContacts on Contact (after Insert,after Update,after Delete,after Undelete)
{
     CountContacts  obj = new CountContacts();
     
     if ((Trigger.IsInsert) || (Trigger.IsUndelete))
     {
         obj.CountContacts(Trigger.New);
     }
     
     if (Trigger.IsDelete)
     {
         obj.CountContacts(Trigger.Old);
     }
}

Hi All,

Could you please let me know , how can we run a batch class which are containing callouts, on Scheduled Apex.
when i am running batch process on click event It is working fine but when i scheduled it the it is giving me error like 'callouts is not allowed at Scheduled Apex. '

Regards
Sumit

Hello Everyone,

While doing callout getting the error :: 
System.CalloutException: You have uncommitted work pending. Please commit or rollback before calling out .

Actually i am sending request to 3rd party system based on the response iam upserting records in salesforce.
When i was doing with 1 record, it is working fine. But when i tried with bulkified manner getting the above error.

So while research i got an idea that i need to seperate the transactions for both the Callout's and DML's.
Is there any function or method that callout has been done, with that i can seperate both the transactions for DML's in salesforce and Callouts

How can i avoid this particular error??  Please suggest me !!!

frinds, 
 in overriding vf pages with new button or edit button the vf page override option show only none option how to get more option on these..

Hello,

I have a requirement, where a junction object record needs to be created based on the matching field values of both the parent objects.
For e.g Master1 object (Flat) has a picklist field 'Flat type' (1BHK, 2BHK) and same field is there on Master2 object (Enquiry). If 'Flat type' picklist value matches in both Master object a new junction object record needs to be created with same both records as parent. 
i.e If a Enquiry record is created with 1BHK as Flat Type then it should match with some existing record in Flat object with 1BHK as flat type and then a new junction object record should be created.

I am new in development and have no idea where to start with.
Please help.

Thanks in advance.

when I run the block of ‘static’ code in execute anonymous, it throws an error “only top-level methods in the class are allowed to be declared as static”. I tried my code also: there also same issue.
 public StringArrayTest {  public static void generateStringArray() {}  }
 Can anyone help on this?

thank you.
