Apologies if this has been dealt with before (but i'm relatively new to Force.com IDE).
I've installed a free AppExchange application (Quote Line Items by Salesforce Labs). When I "refresh from server" in Eclipse, the application shows up in its own folder for my salesforce developer org project. So far, so good....
I've made changes to some of the s-Controls. I can deploy those changes and, again, everything is fine....
I can make changes (ie add new Custom Fields) to some of the (custom) objects in this application WITHIN THE SALESFORCE BROWSER. However, when I refresh from the server, I do NOT see the changes reflected in *__c.object file (within Eclipse). If I try to make the change the other way around (by modifying the package.xml and *__c.object file, and then click "Save" I then get a message "Cannot add new entity into an installed package" and have to roll those changes back to make everything ok again..
Is there anybody that has experienced the same thing, or someone that can help?
I've suggested salesforce.com as a solution to the problems faced by 2 of my clients (2 very different businesses). I am using my developer edition account to perform the customizations.
I have several questions about my way of working.
1. How do I know what edition my client will to purchase? I've asked my sf.com account manager here in Dublin but I havent been able to get a satisfactory answer. I need to be able to tell my client, as soon as possible how much the thing will cost.
2. The approach I am using is to create a custom application for each client. Is this the correct approach?
3. If I add a new field (for example) to a standard object in one application, how can I keep this from appearing everywhere else that object turns up?
4. Upon completing customization work, how can I deploy this application (privately) to my clients salesforce.com installation (the only way I can think of doing it at the moment is by publishing to the appexchange?
5. I need to provide features to my customers to allow them to generate an invoice (*.doc) or an excel-based report. Is this possible.
Apologies if there is a lot in this, but I've been trying to get started for awhile and I'm finding the process less then intuitive.
Hi there,
I'm trying to download the Apex Toolkit for Eclipse from this page http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Tools . (I am a member of ADN as far as I can tell). The link directs me to http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Apex_Toolkit_for_Eclipse and tells me to login (the link points to https://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php—title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Members:Apex_Toolkit_for_Eclipse ). Upon logging in I am redirected to back to "Login Required" page (which auto-redirects after about 10 seconds back to the Apex Wiki home page (http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Apex_Wiki))
Using the "Developer Login" tab on the wiki page doesn't help, nor does using FireFox rather than IE7
Help appreciated
Dermot
