I am trying to insert a FeedPost on a Contact when I add a new related record, and I'm using the code from the Chatter Code Recipes to insert a FeedPost:

FeedPost fpost = new FeedPost();
fpost.ParentId = oId; //eg. Opportunity id, custom object id..
fpost.Body = post;
insert fpost;

I replaced oId with the associated Contact.Id, but the error is occurring on the previous line: Save error : Invalid type : FeedPost

This is my Chatter dev org, so I know it's enabled - is there something else that I need to add when I'm working from a trigger?

After trying to execute the "webServiceName" web service below, I get this error:

ERROR: ........... {faultcode:'soapenv:Client', faultstring:'No service available for class 'MyClass'', }

Here's my button code:

{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/16.0/connection.js")}
{!requireScript("/soap/ajax/16.0/apex.js")}

var args = {
objId:'{!MasterObject__c.Id}',
childIds:{!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.ChildObject__c)}
};

function callback(result) { location.href=result.pagereference; }

var result = sforce.apex.execute('MyClass', 'webServiceName', args, callback);

Here's my service code:

global with sharing class MyClass
webservice static wsResult webServiceName(String objId, String[] childIds) {
// Do stuff...

wsResult result = new wsResult();
result.pagereference = pr.getUrl();
result.success = true;
result.errorCode = 0;
result.errorMsg = '';
return result;
}

global class wsResult {
webservice string pagereference;
webservice boolean success;
webservice Integer errorCode;
webservice String errorMsg;

public wsResult() {}

public wsResult(string url, boolean result, Integer code, String msg) {
this.pagereference = url;
this.success = result;
this.errorCode = code;
this.errorMsg = msg;
}
}

 Thanks in advance!

Hi

I have a Contact in my Salesforce org. and have an Attachment (a PDF file) associated to that Contact.

Is it possible to download this PDF file from a Site Page?

I am able to query and Display the name of the file on my Site page, but want to know if there's a way to download the file.

Thanks,

Suri

<apex:column headerValue="Amount(K)">
<apex:outputLabel dir="LTR" value="${!ROUND(opp.Amount/1000, 2)}" />
</apex:column>

I have above in my visualforce page. I sometimes see $3E+1 in amount column.

Is ther any way to convert text to currency format in visualforce.

<apex:column value="{!opp.Amount}"/> works perfectly. But I want to display amount in thousands and in proper currency format (possibly right aligned with always two digits after decimal point).

Thanks,

Deepak

Does anyone know if/when support for dynamic visualforce will be generally available?  Is it coming out in the Winder '12 release?

Thanks,

Ron

We're seeing some odd behavior in the Force.com IDE and in the Salesforce UI when viewing apex test coverage results...

In the SF UI, comments, system.debug and even portions of parameters lists are being displayed with a red highlight - indicated no test coverage.

And in the IDE, we're seeing 100% coverage results for all classes ....even though we know that's not the case.

Has anyone else come across this?

- Ron

Contrary to what I was reading in the documentation,  it appears that if you are using an Authenticated Website user license for a Sites portal user, that user does not have access to custom objects if there is a master-detail lookup from the custom object to the Contact object .... even if the Contact is the contact associated with the login. 

Can anyone confirm this for us?  

The online documentation (search "Granting High-Volume Customer Portal Users Access to Objects") states:

Access to Records

However when I configure a custom Auth Website profile, these objects cannot be checked (or enabled).  And my tests in Sites result in errors or missing field values when I access the objects.

High-volume customer portal licenses however appear to have access, but these I think aren't priced as low for SF customers, so we have to assume that most of our customers will be buying the Auth. Website user licenses for Sites implementations.

Thanks,

Ron

I've discovered that we can't delete Protected Custom Settings from a Managed Package.   If it's protected, and thus inaccessible to custom code and other applications, shouldn't we be able to?

- Ron

I've been trying to MacGyver a way to hide an apex:repeat block if no items are found in the repeat list but haven't figured out a way to do it.

Ideally, there would be a COUNT() function that could be used to make rendering of an apex:outputPanel or other tag conditional.  e.g. render="{!COUNT(list)>0}" but such a function doesn't exist yet  (Vote for my idea here: https://sites.secure.force.com/success/ideaView?c=09a30000000D9xtAAC&id=08730000000KX2uAAG )

The function would be used as follows:

<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!COUNT(contact.related_items__r)>0}" >

<h2>List Heading</h2>
<apex:repeat value="{!contact.related_items__r}" var="item">

</apex:repeat>

</apex:outputPanel>

Has anyone come up with a workaround that might work in lieu of a COUNT() function?

Thanks,

Ron

We have a customer account that is configured to use the system address for email notifications related to Case comments:

Set under Setup >> Customize >> Cases >> Support Settings

"Send Case Notifications from System Address" = checked.

... but the email address and company name that appears on the email notifications needs to be changed.  Where in the blazes is this configured?   I can't find it anywhere.

- Ron

I've set up a simple trigger to insert a FeedPost when one of my Customer Portal Users creates an entry through Sites and found that the trigger only works when I create an entry from inside Salesforce (as a regular SF user).

When a Customer Portal User creates an entry, the trigger fails with the error: "Invalid type: FeedPost"  

The API version on all the code is 18.0.

I've also tried putting the "insert FeedPost" call in a class without sharing, but it still fails in the Customer Portal context.

What are the limitations on integration Chatter with Sites and Customer Portal Users?   Can we even trigger chatter activity from portal user actions?

- R

(This is just a test case ... I know the trigger isn't set up to handle bulk inserts)

trigger ItemReview on Item_Review__c (after insert) {

	
	for (Item_Review__c review :trigger.new) {
		Chatter.feedPost(review.Item__c,  'A review has been posted for this item.'
				,null);
		
	}

}

public without sharing class Chatter {

	public static void feedPost(String parentId, String body, String link) {
		try {
		   FeedPost fpost = new FeedPost();
		   fpost.ParentId = parentId; //eg. Opportunity id, custom object id..
    		    fpost.Body = body;
    		    insert fpost;	
            	 
        } Catch (Exception ex) {
            	
        }
		
	}
}

Can we dynamically assign package licenses when registering new customer or high volume portal users?

We have customers who want to give their portal users access to a managed package (per seat licensing) when they register for portal user accounts.

- Ron

In playing with the new Rich Text field, we've found that you cannot use the field to store html with style or class attributes ... these are stripped out automatically.

There is also no way to edit the content as html, or add <h> tags, <table>, floats etc.

Does anyone know if there are plans to allow developers to enable these?  Possibly through the field definition or as attributes on the <apex:inputField> tag?

It's too bad really, as the ability to see the rich text controls while a record is in edit mode is a much better user experience than we've been able to achieve with our own FckEdit component.

We've done some testing with the hierarchical custom settings feature and have run into what appears to be limitation when managing individual user settings from Apex (hopefully not).

We created a custom setting object and simple checkbox field (let's call it UI_Settings__c.Show_Feature__c) and would like our apex code to be able to store individual user settings for that value.  Something like this:

public PageReference saveUISettings() { UI_Settings__c userInstance = UI_Settings__c.getValues(UserInfo.getUserId()); userInstance.Show_Feature__c = this.showFeature; update userInstance; // save changes to UI preferences.

return null; }

 This works fine if we have manually configured a custom setting instance for each user through the Salesforce UI.  But it looks like we can't store user-level settings if the custom setting instance hasn't been created for a user.  And there appears to be no way to create that custom setting instance from Apex.

Is this true?

Thanks,

Ron

I've discovered that the following code will catch an invalid decimal exception (e.g. value = ' ') ...

global static Decimal toDecimalIfValid(String value) { Decimal result; if (value <> null) { try { result = Decimal.valueOf(value); } catch (Exception ex) { System.debug('Error converting '+value+' to decimal.'); } } return result; }

... but this code won't:

global static Decimal toDecimalIfValid(String value) { if (value <> null) { try { return Decimal.valueOf(value); } catch (Exception ex) { System.debug('Error converting '+value+' to decimal.'); } } return null; }

Both use try-catch to trap the error.  Is this a bug?  A feature?

- Ron

I have an unmanaged package that passes all apex tests in the dev org, but won't upload to the AppExchange.  I get the following error during the upload (as test methods are being run):

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION, admin operation already in progress: []

The error occurs in a trigger that fires on update of a Batch_Run object, on the line that creates a another  Batch_Run object from inside the trigger.   

This unmanaged package is similar to another package that has uploaded successfully in the past and does the same  trigger action, plus the code runs and passes tests in my dev org ... so I'm at a loss for explaining this one.

Has anyone seen this error before?

Thanks

I'd like to check to see if a batch job is already queued before starting it again, but haven't been able to figure out how to identify my job... the MethodName is always empty so I can't search for the job by it's method name like so:

// Check to see if batch update is already queued or in process
AsyncApexJob[] queuedJobs = [ Select a.Status, a.MethodName, a.Id From AsyncApexJob a where status in ('Queued','Processing') and MethodName like '%BatchUpdateCampaignPayments%'];
if (queuedJobs.size() >0) return;

And I don't see any way to set the MethodName when starting the job.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ron

I'm getting the following error with IE in the Salesforce javascript supporting Ajax calls ....

Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0) Timestamp: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:00:43 UTC Message: Unknown runtime error Line: 120 Char: 1 Code: 0 URI: http://homewarrantygroup.force.com/faces/a4j/g/3_3_0.GAorg.ajax4jsf.javascript.AjaxScript

The page is hosted in an iFrame and works perfectly in Firefox, but when I click an actionButton in IE, the Ajax callback starts (but doesn't finish) and IE shows this error in the alerts area.

Has anyone else run into this error?  Is there a fix?

Thanks,

I'm trying to update the number of available seats on an LMA license record (sfLma__License__c) and getting the error

Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id a0770000006dZUZAA2; first error: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY, sfLma.updateCustomerLicense: execution of BeforeUpdate caused by: System.Exception: Failed to get next element (System Code)

I can edit the number of seats from the License detail page, but not from Apex. 

Does anyone know what's going on in the License manager app that might be preventing the update?

Thanks,

I'm running the following test code in the Execute Anonymous window of the IDE and am getting inconsistent results.

Contact contact = new Contact(id='0034000000RGSfrAAH');
contact.mailingstreet = '123 Oak';
update contact;

This contact happens to be a person account.

Initially, I get a successful execution (multiple times). But if I wait about 20 seconds and run it, I get:

System.DmlException: Update failed.  First exception on row 0 with id 0034000000RGSfrAAH: first error: INVALID_CROSS_REFERENCE_KEY, invalid cross reference id.

Anyone have an idea on why I'm only getting the error part of the time?

Thanks,

I have a Sites implementation that displays Product attachments (jpegs, png, etc) along side Product details ...

The page displays everything correctly for the guest user license.  But when a guest user logs in and becomes a customer portal user, the user can no longer view the attachments.  Product details (name, description, etc.) are still visible.

I have a custom profile that I assign to each customer portal user (license = "Customer Portal Manager") and see

that there are options to enable read access for:

Accounts,

Assets,

Cases,

Contacts,

Documents,

Ideas,

and Solutions

...but not Attachments or Products.  

The guest profile on the other hand, has options for read/create on 

Accounts,

Assets,

Cases,

Contacts,

Contracts,

Documents,

Ideas,

Leads,

Opportunities,

Pricebooks,

Products,

and Solutions

Does the customer portal user have read access to fewer standard objects than the guest user?

And how can I enable read-access on Product Attachments on the customer portal profile?

Thanks,

Ron

Hi,

We have a Scheduler Class for a Batch Class, both of which are working fine as evidenced by the fact that they have both successfully fired on schedule the last three days.  The Test Class, however, seems to be written incorrectly / not invoking properly.  The text class is below:

@isTest

class TestStampForecastLastUpdated {
	
	static testMethod void testStampForecastLastUpdated() {
		
		// Declare Local Variables
		final string							accountRecordType = 'Distributor';
		Id										accountRecordTypeId;
		Map<String, Schema.RecordTypeInfo>		accountRecordTypes = new Map<String, Schema.RecordTypeInfo>();
		CronTrigger								cronTrigger;
		String 									jobId;
		final Date								monthEnd = date.valueOf('2008-02-29 00:00:00');
		final Date								today = System.today();
		Product2								product;
		
		// Get Account Record Type Ids
		accountRecordTypes = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName();
		accountRecordTypeId = accountRecordTypes.get(accountRecordType).getRecordTypeId();

		// Create an Account
		Account a1 = new Account (Name = 'Acme', Product_Discount_Amount__c = 9, RecordTypeId = accountRecordTypeId);
		Insert a1;
		
		// Get a Product
		product = [SELECT Id FROM Product2 WHERE IsActive = true AND Forecast__c = true LIMIT 1];
		
		// Create a Forecast record in the past and one in the future
		Forecast__c f1 = new Forecast__c (Account__c = a1.id, Backlog_Quantity__c = 1, Backlog_Amount__c = 100, Est_Forecast_Rev__c = 100, Last_Updated__c = date.valueOf('2008-02-15 00:00:00'), Month_End_Date__c = monthEnd, Product__c = product.Id, Quantity__c = 1, Shipped__c = 1, Shipped_Amount__c = 100, Shipped_and_Backlog__c = 150);
		Forecast__c f2 = new Forecast__c (Account__c = a1.id, Backlog_Quantity__c = 1, Backlog_Amount__c = 100, Est_Forecast_Rev__c = 100, Last_Updated__c = date.valueOf('2008-02-15 00:00:00'), Month_End_Date__c = today, Product__c = product.Id, Quantity__c = 1, Shipped__c = 1, Shipped_Amount__c = 100, Shipped_and_Backlog__c = 150);
		insert f1;
		insert f2;
		
		// Execute the batchable test
		Test.startTest();

		// Schedule the test job
		String scheduleExpression = '0 0 0 3 9 ? 2022';
		jobId = System.schedule('testScheduleStampForecastLastUpdated', scheduleExpression, new ScheduleStampForecastLastUpdated());
		
		// Get the CronTrigger info
		cronTrigger = [SELECT Id, CronExpression, TimesTriggered, NextFireTime FROM CronTrigger WHERE Id = :jobId];
		
		// Assert that the expressions are the same
		System.assertEquals(scheduleExpression, cronTrigger.CronExpression);
		
		// Assert that the Cron job has not started
		System.assertEquals(cronTrigger.TimesTriggered, 0);
		
		// Assert that the Forecasts have their original values
		System.assertEquals([SELECT Last_Updated__c FROM Forecast__c WHERE Id = :f1.Id].Last_Updated__c, date.valueOf('2008-02-15 00:00:00'));
		System.assertEquals([SELECT Last_Updated__c FROM Forecast__c WHERE Id = :f2.Id].Last_Updated__c, date.valueOf('2008-02-15 00:00:00'));
		
		// Stop the test
		Test.stopTest();
		
		// Assert that the Forecasts have their proper values
		System.assertEquals([SELECT Last_Updated__c FROM Forecast__c WHERE Id = :f1.Id].Last_Updated__c, date.valueOf('2008-02-15 00:00:00'));
System.debug('f2 = ' + [SELECT Status__c FROM Forecast__c WHERE Id = :f2.Id]);
		System.assertEquals([SELECT Last_Updated__c FROM Forecast__c WHERE Id = :f2.Id].Last_Updated__c, System.today());
	}
}

The last assertion fails, although the System.debug line shows that it should have been processed.  Again, the Scheduler and Batch are working properly, which leads me to believe that this Test Class is constructed improperly.

Relevant code from the Scheduler and Batch below, although again, they have fired properly as scheduled every day since scheduled.

global class ScheduleStampForecastLastUpdated implements Schedulable {

	global void execute (SchedulableContext sc) {

		stampForecastLastUpdated sflu = new stampForecastLastUpdated('SELECT Last_Updated__c FROM Forecast__c WHERE Status__c = \'Active\'');
		database.executebatch(sflu);
	}
}

global class StampForecastLastUpdated implements Database.Batchable<sObject>{

	global final string	query;
	date				today = date.today();

	global StampForecastLastUpdated(String query) {
		this.query = query;
	}
	
	global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
		return Database.getQueryLocator(query);
	}

	global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<sObject> scope) {
		List<Forecast__c> forecasts = new List<Forecast__c>();

		for (sObject s : scope) {
			Forecast__c f = (Forecast__c)s;
			f.Last_Updated__c = today;
			forecasts.add(f);
		}
		update forecasts;
	}

	global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC) {
	}
}

Thanks,

Marc

As an ISV, say you introduce references to Person Account fields in your Apex code in a managed package.

Does this imply that any customer wishing to install your package needs to enable Person Accounts??  If so, what are the best practices or workarounds for this?  Obviously we cannot assume that all potential customers will want to enable Person Accounts in their orgs...

Thanks.

I am trying to insert a FeedPost on a Contact when I add a new related record, and I'm using the code from the Chatter Code Recipes to insert a FeedPost:

FeedPost fpost = new FeedPost();
fpost.ParentId = oId; //eg. Opportunity id, custom object id..
fpost.Body = post;
insert fpost;

I replaced oId with the associated Contact.Id, but the error is occurring on the previous line: Save error : Invalid type : FeedPost

This is my Chatter dev org, so I know it's enabled - is there something else that I need to add when I'm working from a trigger?

I've set up a simple trigger to insert a FeedPost when one of my Customer Portal Users creates an entry through Sites and found that the trigger only works when I create an entry from inside Salesforce (as a regular SF user).

When a Customer Portal User creates an entry, the trigger fails with the error: "Invalid type: FeedPost"

I have overridden the New Task buttonto go to a visualforce page which acts as a url creator depending on where the new button was called from.  It builds a the standard new task url but adds a whoId, whatId and retUrl parameter.

My problem is that, i want the user to be redirected to the New Task they just created upon clicking on 'save', however instead the user is taken to the homepage upon saving.  And this is no matter what I put in the retUrl.  If I take out the override and manually add some retUrl values to the default new Task page everything works fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Let me know if you need to see any pieces of code and I will gladly provide. 

Hi all

I am writing test cases for my Apex Page and want to verify that different messages are set at different points.

For this, I would like to clear out existing messages from my ApexPage.

Something similar to:

ApexPages.Messages = new List<ApexPages.Message>();

Is there a way to do this?

We are going to start using Sites to capture some personal details, so this will facilitate using SSL in the form. We will want to use a custom domain name to mask the force.com site (eg. subscribe.ourdomain.com instead of site.secure.force.com)

I know that force.com has its own SSL certificate for *.force.com, however my concern is that if we override with a custom domain name, the browser will see an inconsistency between the URL (ourdomain.com) and the SSL certificate for force.com, and display an ugly 'exception' page (which most browsers now do - IE7/8, FF3).

Is there any way to get round this? Will this even be an issue with custom domain names? We are not in live yet so I can't properly test this case, however would be interested to get some feedback from the SFDC sites product team on this... :)

Thanks

Stephen

Has anyone got this able to work?

I was told by eWay support that we create a form for customers to fill out, that form then populates an object in salesforce, and then we manually process the payment.

Where do I even begin to get this started? I have an eWay account and all that setup. I'm just to the point of needing to know how to start accepting payments. 

My VF Sites application is working fairly well now but there is one nagging detail - the title attribute on the apex:page tag does not seem to flow into the browser.

<apex:page controller="SitesSearchCustomController" action="{!init}" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" title="Foo">

 results in a browser page that looks like this (note - no title appears)

or (Chrome):

or IE7:

What am I doing wrong?

//get the business account record type
RecordType NotPersonAccountRecordType = [select Id, Name, SobjectType,
         IsPersonType from RecordType where SobjectType='Account'
         and IsPersonType=False];

// get 1 existing account
Contact c = [select id, AccountId, FirstName, LastName, Cris_Id__c from Contact where IsPersonAccount = false Limit 1];


// create a new account and set the record type to business account
Account newAccount = new Account();
newAccount.Name='' + c.LastName;
newAccount.RecordTypeId = NotPersonAccountRecordType.Id;
insert newAccount;


//get the person account record type
recordType personaccountrecordtype = [select Id, Name, SobjectType,
         IsPersonType from RecordType where SobjectType='Account'
         and IsPersonType=True];

// update the existing contact's account to new account
c.AccountId = newAccount.Id;
update c;


// now get it again and update the firstname and lastname, change the record type to person account
newAccount = [select id,lastName, Firstname, RecordTypeId from Account where Id =: newAccount.Id];
newAccount.RecordTypeId = personaccountrecordtype.Id;
newAccount.LastName=c.LastName;
newAccount.FirstName=c.FirstName;   
update newAccount;

These code runs successfully, but the IsPersonAccount in Account object is false for some reason

Any one have idea how to get around the problem or other direction to do these?

thanks in advance
