Lets say I've a Force.com Site page https://ms.satrangtech.com/file?id=XXXX that is a CNAME mask for https://satrangtech.secure.force.com/file?id=XXX. 

On this page, when the user clicks the delete icon next to a file, the file should be deleted from Salesforce via a method on this page. The method works fine, when this page shows as satrangtech.secure.force.com but it does not work (and throws CORS error) when the page shows as ms.satrangtech.com.

> Failed to load https://satrangtech.secure.force.com/file?id=XXXX: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://ms.satrangtech.com' is therefore not allowed access.

I've already added CORS in Salesforce set-up for https://*.satrangtech.com
If we need to do build a portal for lets say 5K+ users, need to consider COST as primary criteria for determination, which of below option is recommended or even allowed (wrt salefsorce contract etc) ?
  1. Salesforce Customer Portal : As this involves license fee per customer, hence this solution ends up to be too costly
  2. Force.com Site with Portal : This is similar to option1, here instead first login page is branded website page and behind this page is customer portal.
  3. Force.com Site with Custom Portal : This is like we build a portal, authentication, user management etc. This will not need any extra license but this is violation to salesforce agreement  (is it?) where they dont allow creating complete login mechanism. Hence doing this in hidden manner is not recommended.
  4. Communities
  5. Pay to Salesforce based on Number of Logins per month :  instead of paying per user per month, there's one concept of paying based on logins per month.
  6. Force.com (Public) Site with CustomerId/Token mechanism (no password) :  Here user enters some unique user-id/customer-id to login, no password simply a username. This option can be selected only if customer detail are not very sensitive as its unauthenticated or you can say authenticated just baed on some unique-id. There is one work around to make it more secure by sending a token to customer email address when they enter their email address as username and then entering the token (which they will receive in email) as password.
Shouldn't there be a cost effective solution which allows  to prepare portal for users where-in the functionality to be provided is read-only or number of portal users is too high.

When trying to search a string using SOSL, it behaves differently for one search parameter vs two search parameters with logical operator.

 

Search String 1 : FIND '"com"' => No of Records Returned : 910

Search String 2 : FIND '"com" or "net"' => No of Records Returned : 762

 

Shouldn't result two also be 910 or above. Logical operator is OR statement, so theoretically it should give us more results or at least at minimum 910. Right?

 

Please help me if I'm missing on something.

 

Please note :

  • I'm using FOR SOSL (ie loop over SOSL with limit of 20 SOSL to run at max) to return more than 200 records.
  • Only one sublist is returned in my SOSL
If you navigate to account/contact/custom object we do have a related list "related content" (if content is enabled and related list is added to page layout).  My question is were are these "related content" records stored? in which object?
Using apex I'm able to upload file to content version, but not able to create or find the object which stores the "related content" information.

I'm trying to upload photo using chatter rest api, and its working great for test.salesforce.com and login.salesforce.com.

 

I'm able to login using OAUTH, do get in response instance_url, acess_token etc, and I set the instance_url in my photo upload request and its works great only when my instance_url is a nxxx.salesforce.com or c**.salesforce.com (ie it works for valid salesforce production and sandbox instances).

 

However when I try to login against *.cloudforce.com (a salesforce org), login is successful, instance_url returned is xxx.cloudforce.com, but when I use that instance url for photo upload request its says "Destination URL not reset". Is it something to do with this exception type org of *.cloudforce.com ? 

There are no triggers available on EntitySubscription and FeedLike objects, so there's no way available to log deletion of these objects. 

 

Is there a way to determine the deleted entity subscription and feedlike records for a specific period of time ie say a api call that gives last xhrs deleted records.

 

I tried using ALL ROWS and Isdeleted=true clause with  EntitySubscription to retrieve deleted records, but it's not working. 

 

 

Hi,

 

I have requirement to fetch comment likes. I'm not able to figure out on how to retrieve commentlikes.

 

FeedLike object represents likes. You can't query FeedLike records directly. They can only be queried via the parent NewsFeedUserProfileFeed, or entity feed, such as AccountFeed.

 

So to query FeedPost likes, use following:

SELECT Id, (SELECT Id, CreatedById, CreatedDate, FeedItemId, FeedEntityId FROM FeedLikes) FROM UserFeed

 

to query group post likes, use following:

SELECT Id, (SELECT Id, CreatedById, CreatedDate, FeedItemId, FeedEntityId FROM FeedLikes) FROM CollaborationGroupFeed

 

How to retrieve comment likes?

 

 

Salesforce announced PermissionSet feature in its recent release, and I'm loving it. 

 

The Winter ‘12 Salesforce release has introduced Permission Sets as a new way to manage security within the application. Each user continues to have a Profile, but Permission Sets can now be given to individual users to extend their permissions beyond what is described in their Profile. One of the current limitations is that there is no way to manage assignments of Permission Sets for more than one user at a time, which makes administration tedious.

 

So I'm trying to build visualforce page for a System Administrator to manage (assign and remove) Permission Sets for more than one user at a time i.e., Develop a tool  to assign or remove one or more permission sets to or from one or more users.

 

However, I'm caught with error "Save error: DML not allowed on PermissionSetAssignment" when trying to make INSERT DML call on PermissionSetAssignment object. API version of my apex class is 23.0 and Docs too says that this object is Createable. 

 

What is that I'm missing or is it something not released yet?

Sort of confused on how to find top most item from a group in SOQL.

 

Below requirement is around Chatter objects.

 

User status update fires user trigger as it updates status field on user. It dosen't fire FeedItem trigger. However, internally corresponding FeedItem record is also inserted with Type='UserStatus'

 

So If i need to get FeedItemId for the UserStatus update, then the only way possible to get feeditemid for corresponding user status update is to query and get it. But as we are building a bulk trigger, so we would need to group feeditem table by userid(ie parentid), sort by createddate and just pick first one. However, in SOQL I'm having hard time to write a query which gives me top item from every group.


So I've currently made code to fetch all user statuses and then create a map with most recent status's feeditemid per user (But this will not work if there are 200 user status update and each user already having 100s of status update. Any advice?)

 

Map<Id,Id> userFeedItemId = new Map<Id,Id>();    	
		for(FeedItem f : [Select Id,ParentId from FeedItem where Type='UserStatus' and ParentID IN :userIDs order by CreatedDate desc,Id desc]) {
            if(!userFeedItemId.containsKey(f.ParentId)){
            	userFeedItemId.put(f.ParentId,f.Id);	
            }
        } 

 

I'm trying to build the "JavaClientExample" as described @ http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_the_Force.com_Streaming_API

 

I am able to successfully connect to salesforce, but post that I get following error: (Any idea or help will be really appreciated)

I want to add a button on edit page of a record (say button which opens an external URL in a new window, may be a a url for reference). How do I achieve so?


There's always option of overriding with visualforce page, but there's lot of pitfalls around that approach (say a new recordtype or field is added, you need to create new visualforcce page or update the page respectively etc)

Any idea on how to achieve this? 

 

Chirag

 

 

PageReference pr = Site.login(emailAddress,p.regPassword,'/PersonalDetails');

 

 

Above piece of code generates following URL

 

 

https://zebra.force.com/asia/secur/frontdoor.jsp?cshc=0000000xrYf0000000HGIN&portalId=060T00000004f1h&refURL=https%253A%252F%252Fzebra ....

 

 

On debugging, I found that an extra "25" is added at multiple locations. If I remove all the instances of "25", it works perfectly fine and I am able to login to customer portal

Correct URL

https://zebra.force.com/asia/secur/frontdoor.jsp?cshc=0000000xrYf0000000HGIN&portalId=060T00000004f1h&refURL=http%3A%2%2Fzebra...                                    

 

What can be the reason for this extra "25"?
Anything specific to user locale? (Current Locale : United Kingdom)

 

I am working on aVisualforce-Customer Portal based Eventforce application development. Part ofthis application includes a flex calendar embedded inside a visualforcepage. This calendar shows user's event attendance details.

 

Flex being a non nativelanguage to Salesforce, to interact with salesforce we either need to hard-codethe username password or pass in the session id. Both the approaches haveattached con to it, of opening security to certain extent. So in best interestof security we made the interaction between flex and Salesforce possible usingfollowing approach  

 

  1. Create a Force.com Site
  2. Expose a VF page which accepts userid as input and returns his/her attendance details in JSON format
  3. Now, flex makes a HTTPRequest to above site url with userid as input, gets the JSON response back and parses the response and displays the attendance in graphical format inside flex.  

 

During this interactionwe are facing a security hurdle .... on accessing visualforce pagehttps://c.cs0.visual.force.com/apex/myCalendar which hosts the flex file"CMScheduleFlex", i recieve following error ...

 

Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: https://c.cs0.visual.force.com/resource/1269610884000/CMScheduleFlexFile cannot load data from https://qlikview.qonnect.cs0.force.com/mycalendar/scheduleService

 

Here https://qlikview.qonnect.cs0.force.com/mycalendar/scheduleService is a site URLbeing HTTPRequested from Flex to retrieve in return JSONresponse.

 

This seems like a crossdomain problem. I read on net that this has something to do with crossdomain file, what I know is that it's an xml file located in the root of theweb server, with something like this 

 

<?xml version="1.0"?><cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*"secure="true" /></cross-domain-policy>

 

 

Also, few forums mentionthese instructions:

 

Security.allowDomain()Security.allowInsecureDomain()

 

But the question is where do we place the crossdomain.xml file in case of Salesforceor where do we write the lines Security.AllowDomain.  Any help or suggestions? 

 

Please note that 

There exists a cross domain xml located on each salesforce instance for eg 

https://qlikview.qonnect.cs0.force.com/mycalendar/services/Soap/cross-domain.xml 

 

Both the url's are being served from same domain, but not same sub-domain. In that case how can datatransfer between two different sub-domains be allowed?

Command links with param are not working inside "repeat inside repeat" code. The action method attached to the command link is not getting invoked.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

<apex:repeat value="{!listData}" var="l" rendered="{!NOT(ISNULL(listData))}">

<apex:repeat value="{!l.Items}" var="c"><tr>

<td>{!l.Title}</td>

<td>{!c.Description}</td>

<td>{!c.Name}</td>

<td>

<apex:commandLink value="View" action="{!viewId}">

<apex:param assignTo="{!selectedId}" name="selectedId" value="{!c.Id}" />

</apex:commandLink>

</td>

</tr>

Apex Governor limit document states "In a SOQL query with parent-child relationship sub-queries, each parent-child relationship counts as an additional query. These types of queries have a limit of three times the number for top-level queries."

 

1) Referring to "In a SOQL query with parent-child relationship sub-queries, each parent-child relationship counts as an additional query." If i execute following query, the no of SOQL executed needs to be Three. Yet debug log shows me 1 Query (and not 3). Am I missing anything?

List<Account> a =[Select Id, (Select Id from Contacts),(Select Id from Cases) from Account];


2) Can someone elaborate more on what does "These types of queries have a limit of three times the number for top-level queries." means?

Is there any method in Apex which allows to move a selected opportunity to next stage.

 

Something like

opportunity o = [Select Id from Opportunity where Id ='asdsdasd' limit 1]; o.StageName = o.nextStage(); update o;

 

There's a trigger on Lead which creates case for every inserted lead. This trigger creates case without any contact information (i.e., ContactId field is kept blank).  Now consider following 2 scenarios ...

  1. If i create the lead using salesforce.com interface, the trigger executes without any error and results in creation of a case.
  2. Anyhow, if i create the lead using Web2Lead form, the  trigger results in error "Creation of Case record failed: [FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION] No selected contact: Contact ID"

Can someone state what might be the reason or what are the possible workarounds to stop this strange behaviour ...

I am using ActionSupport event On Change for a TEXTBOX (Textbox value is read by Barcode Reader). The onchange event fires and redirects to another page. This is working perfectly in Chrome but it is not working in IE and FF. 

 

Any reasons for the onchange event not working in IE and FF for a text box. 

I am trying to provide direct access to Workbench application from right inside of Salesforce Org in form or Web-Tab or Home Page link. I tried creating URL of following sorts, but neither helped me to successfully login or at least pre-populate the sessionid

http://workbench/login.php?login_type=adv&usernameStd=&passwordStd=&actionJumpStd=select.php&sessionId={!API.Session_ID}&inst=login&endp=17.0&actionJumpAdv=select.php&loginClick=Login http://workbench/login.php?sessionId={!API.Session_ID}

 
It seem's something something tricky and trivial is missing.

Find More on it @ SFDC Community
 
 
How does it works .... Its really  simple thing
 
There a  function called CreateButtons which does simply creation of a button using the CSS of SFDC
thats why it looks like SFDC Button
 
function CreateButtons() {
 for (Button = 1; Button < 5; Button++){
  var ButtonId = "button" + Button + "text";
  var ConstructedButtonId = "button" + Button
  var buttontext = document.getElementById(ButtonId).value;
  if (buttontext != "") {  
   var constructedbuttontext = "<INPUT class=btn type=button title=Create value='";
   constructedbuttontext+= buttontext;
   constructedbuttontext+= "'>";
   document.getElementById(ConstructedButtonId).value = buttontext;
   document.getElementById(ConstructedButtonId).style.display = "inline";
  }
 }
}

Certain features that are configurable in the Salesforce user interface are not accessible or implicitly enforced via the API.

For example:

•Page layouts can specify whether a given field is required, but the API does not enforce such layout-specific field restrictions or validations in Create and Update calls. It is up to the client application to enforce any such constraints, if applicable.

•Record types can control which picklist values can be chosen in a given record and which which page layouts users with different profiles can see. However, such rules that are configured and enforced in the Salesforce user interface are not enforced in the API.

For example, the AppExchange Web service will not validate whether the value in a picklist field is allowed per any record type restrictions associated with the profile of the logged in user. Similarly, the AppExchange Web service will not prevent a client application from adding data to a particular field simply because that field does not appear in a layout associated with the profile of the logged in user.

Hello frnds i want to retrieve data from SFDC on basis of list of ID's
 
I tried two ways but both are not working
 
1)using retrieve method
String fieldList="Id,Website_Unique_ID__c,ConvertedContactID,IsConverted";

sObjects=sfdc.retrieve(fieldList,"Lead",idArray);

An unexpected error has occurred.; nested exception is:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: array element type mismatch

2)using Query method

String fieldList="Id,Website_Unique_ID__c,ConvertedContactID,IsConverted";

String query1 = "Select "+fieldList+" from Lead where "+idList;

System.out.println(query1);

QueryResult qr=sfdc.query(query1);

Output:-

Select IsConverted from Lead where Id='00Q3000000E47VJEAZ' OR Id='00Q3000000E47V9EAJ' OR Id='00Q3000000E47VBEAZ' OR Id='00Q3000000E2Vs1EAF' OR Id='00Q3000000E47VZEAZ'

Hi,
What is the best way to offer this type of support functionality to users?
We are a Salesforce Partner and we have a number of clients using our app. We would like for those users to have the option to open a chat to get in contact with our support team.

Intercom recommendation:
"Ultimately the most important factor would be whether you're able to place a Javascript snippet on the page that can communicate with us and to send information and have the Messenger appear. "

Is that possible?

Thanks.
Emeric.

Hi all,

everybody writes about how to migrate a change set from a Sandbox to Production, but nobody about how to migrate or export from a Sandbox environment in one organization to a Sandbox organization in another environment.
I have read about using the ANT migration tool, but for the ones who are newbie using ANT there aren't detailed descriptions how to export a change set or to use ANT to migrate the change set from Sandbox to Sandbox in differente orgs.

Does somebody here knows how to do it?
I think my syntax is correct, but attachments are empty even for Accounts with attachments.
 
<apex:page StandardController="Account" readOnly="true" recordSetVar="Accounts" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" cache="false">
    
    <apex:variable var="forceDomain" value="http://districtbridges.force.com" />
    
    <apex:repeat value="{!Accounts}" var="account" rows="1">
        <h3>Account: {!account.name}</h3><br />
        Attachments:<br />
        <apex:repeat value="{!account.Attachments}" var="att">
            - {!att.id} {!att.name}<br />

Hi,
I need to hyperlink a text field to my local drive on the server, so that it directs to the file.
I'm looking into being able to call the Google Play Developer API from APEX through Google's OAuth 2.0 for Server to Server implementation using service accounts. I understand that there is existing integration of SalesForce with the Google Data APIs through the Google Data API Toolkit but this doesn't seem to extend to a number of Google's other APIs. I was wondering if anyone has tried previously to integrate with this API or has any information about if it’s possible or how I might go about it.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the integration API in a Canvas application hosted in a 3rd party server, and shown in console mode. As per https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_cti.meta/api_cti/sforce_api_cti_connecting.htm (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_cti.meta/api_cti/sforce_api_cti_connecting.htm), I'm including the following javascript in my server:
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://emea.salesforce.com/canvas/sdk/js/34.0/canvas-all.js"></script>
    <script  type="text/javascript"src="https://emea.salesforce.com/canvas/sdk/js/34.0/controller.js"></script>
    <script src="https://emea.salesforce.com/support/api/34.0/interaction.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="https://emea.salesforce.com/support/console/34.0/integration.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

When I try to use the integration API, nothing happens (no error, no outgoing requets). Digging a bit, during the page initialization, I've found in the console the message: "Service Cloud Toolkit API cannot be used with your browser.". This message can be found in line 323 in integration.js, in a method that tries to initialize crossdomain communication, and in my case, fails.

Am I missing something? Isn't this 'scenario' (canvas in 3rd party server in console mode) supposed to works?
Thanks in advance,

José
 
I'm following the example shown on Peter Knolle's post here: https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2015/03/lightning-component-framework-custom-events.html

When creating the contactSearch Component, I'm getting the following error:

"Failed to save undefined: No CONTROLLER named apex://mynamespace.ContactSearchController found: Source"

I'm not sure what I've missing - any thoughts?
For the past 3 months i have been  using the eclipse forece.com IDE and MavensMate plugin for sublime text to work with costume apex classes on my sandbox (cs14.salesforce.com)
I can't connect using either of these IDEs to saleforce. 
I get a connection time out error
I have not changed any configuration on my sandbox form what i am aware of 
Both IDE's use the tooling API so i assume the issue is connecting with the tooling API
I have tried the following
1) 2 different networks form different service providers. So its not the network
2) 2 different laptops. So its not the local computer and any setting on it
3) 2 different IDES, force.com IDe and mavensMate. So its not the IDE or their configuration
4) 2 different sandbox instances  (cs14 and cs15). So its not the sandbox
After all this the only constant and clear suspect is the tooling API
I opened a case with sale force and as usual they say everything seems fine on there end and they can't help     
  

Recently come across this request from management, that they want put up the dashboard on a wall mounted monitor.

 

I have went through lots of posts regarding this topic, however the approach of using javascript cross site scripting on a visualforce page that never worked for me

until Google Developer Tools (F12) gave me something very interesting.

 

After I click Refresh button, in the Developer Tools window, under Network tab, a page file named dashboardRefresh.apexp is shown immediately.

If you click on it, under Header tab in the righthand side window, you see Request URL:https://[Domain].salesforce.com/dash/dashboardRefresh.apexp 

Inside "FormData" section in the lower paragraph, you can see id:[DashboardID]

 

If you put them together like this: https://[Domain].salesforce.com/[DashboardID] and paste into your browser, you get a page with only a line of string on it,

which a says something like below: 

{"lastRefreshRelativeTime":"Today at 12:13 PM","lastRefreshTime":"As of 19/08/2013 12:13 PM","needsUpdate":true}

 

Now if you reopen your dashboard or if you haven't close it down, just by refreshing the dashboard page, what you will see is the time showing next to the Refresh button is updated.

 

So this actually makes what the business wanted is possible and to be done in a very easy way.

Since it is only for using on a wall mounted monitor, it only requires a full-screen page pretty much all the time.

You need to two taps, with the http://[Domain].salesforce.com/[DashboardID] running kinda behind the scene when the dashboard page is on fullscreen mode.

And install a page auto refresh addon for your browser and configurate the time interval for both tabs.

 

For example

 

 

Chrome

 

Auto Refresh Plus

 

 

 

FireFox

 

Auto Refresh

 

 

 

Safari

 

Safari Tab Reloader

 

 

Note: I am not quite sure about the the possibility of having a time lag, it might be better to configruate to have the dashboard page refreshed a little bit late than the "dashboardRefresh.apexp" page.

 

 

In summary, it gives me what I wanted, and no code needed, works on most broswer as long as you can find addon does the refresh for you and

also everyone who has a credential can do it, and this is case, by having tabs openning doesn't seems affect user experience.

Hello Board,

 

Task has Status field, by marking it as Completed the Task is closed(Manually by a user). But for Event there is no such field, It closes automatically as the Event's end date surpases.

 

I have created a Trigger on Event which should work as soon as Activity closes. I had add a check to see if the date is less that the Event.EndDateTime.

I want the trigger to fire as soon as the Event is closed. Is there any option for doing the same?

 

Thanks for your time and help.

We send numerous emails to numerous internal Salesforce users for things like job failures in Apex.  We always assumed that setting the toAddresses() field to the email address of an internal user (ie. first.last@mycompany.com) would qualify as an internal email.  After hitting some limits, I'm questioning that assumption. It appears that sending an email like this will still qualify as an external email even though there is a internal Salesforce user with that email.  Can someone please confirm?

 

Should we instead use setTargetObjectId(internalUserId) to guarantee the email as counted as an internal address and will not count against our limit?  If so, how do we send to numerous internal users at the same time?  Messaging.SingleEmailMessage only has the singular method setTargetObjectId() and not the plural version setTargetObjectIds().

 

Any clarification is appreciated.

 

Andrew

 

Messaging.SingleEmailMessage emailMsg = 
     new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();  
emailMsg.setTargetObjectId(internalUserId);
//must be false if sending to internal user    
emailMSg.saveAsActivity = false; 
emailMsg.setSenderDisplayName('sender name');  
emailMsg.setSubject('some subject');  
emailMsg.setBccSender(false);  
emailMsg.setUseSignature(false);  
emailmsg.setPlainTextBody('email body');  
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { emailMsg });

 

I'm trying to upload photo using chatter rest api, and its working great for test.salesforce.com and login.salesforce.com.

 

I'm able to login using OAUTH, do get in response instance_url, acess_token etc, and I set the instance_url in my photo upload request and its works great only when my instance_url is a nxxx.salesforce.com or c**.salesforce.com (ie it works for valid salesforce production and sandbox instances).

 

However when I try to login against *.cloudforce.com (a salesforce org), login is successful, instance_url returned is xxx.cloudforce.com, but when I use that instance url for photo upload request its says "Destination URL not reset". Is it something to do with this exception type org of *.cloudforce.com ? 

Hello. When I execute Url. getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() in the system console, the returned URL uses https:// However, when I execute this in the finish() method of Batch Apex, it returns http:// 

Is this a bug? I need https:// returned in the Batch Apex. 

Thanks 
David

I would like a command like to look like a command button. I was once told that I could to that with using the style but I am having trouble figureing out how to do it. Can anyone give me a hand. Thanks

Is it possible to use apex:param as a child of actionpoller so that more than one action poller can be used on a single page, each calling a controller method with a specific variable value being set, eg, nest an actionpoller inside an apex:repeat, and pass the controller a variable that's different for each, and have the rerendered section (also in teh repeat) use this set variable to show a different set of items?

 

Practical use, populating multiple lists of items from multiple web services API calls, all on teh same page, and all via AJAX.

Hi experts,
I found a Salesforce object named OpportunityContactRole by using the IDE (Eclipse) and I want to add a new trigger for this object but I got the following Error message when try to save the new created trigger:
    Save error: SObject type does not allow triggers: OpportunityContactRole
I really need to add the special processing to this object before updating, do any experts have any idea how to fix this issue?
Best regards!
Boi Hue

I created a package and uploaded it to App Exchange, but I later realized that I should have chosen something else for the name of my namespace.  How do I now edit my namespace?  By clicking on the "Help on this page" link on I read this (on "Setup" -> "Exchange" -> "Shared Apps"):
 
"This [edit] button does not appear if you have already configured your developer settings"
 
So, that answers my original question of where the "edit" button went, but now I want to edit my developer settings.  How do I do so?
