Sirenum is looking for a Salesforce developer for a short-term integration project (approximately 1 or 2 months). The project involves integration between our Salesforce database and a payroll system named Tempest.
We will fly the selected candidate to London for a week's training, in order to understand our system and the specific project requirements. Beyond that, work can be done from home while communicating with our Dev team regularly. Depending on the success of the project, a full-time developer position may open up shortly after.
The project is scheduled to begin as soon as a candidate is found.
Requirements: 3+ Years experience with back-end development in any C-family language. At least some experience writing Salesforce APEX code, or a good understanding of Salesforce governor limits, quirks, and tricks. Experience with integration projects. Good to have: Background with Tempest. Front-end development skills (HTML, CSS, Javascript). Salesforce development skills (Visualforce, DB customization, etc). Good English communication skills. If you are interested, please send a CV to amnon.kruvi@sirenum.com.
I am looking for a tool to help me with a certain mail merge task. I will take Invoices as one example of what I need.
Every week, I need to generate roughly 200 Invoices. each invoice is based on a custom object (Invoice__c) and a child object (Invoice Item).
At the moment I am using Salesforce with FormFactory, but I am required to click a button every time I generate an Invoice. consider that each mail merge takes 1-2 minutes, I can easily kiss my day goodbye.
I would like a product that would generate all of these documents at a click. even if it takes some time to generate them. I would hope that attachments are attached to the appropriate object in salesforce, but more importantly, that I can get an email with a single document (I hope PDF), at the very least, one email with multiple documents would help.
FormFactory currently doesn't offer that. I will now review OPROARTS, Drawloop, ninthwavesolutions, santcorp.
I would be thankful for any ideas or apps that you may be able to suggest.
I have a workflow rule that has never worked. any ideas please? thanks.
In my Org we are required to track the validity of multiple certifications per contact. I have instated a time based workflow rule that notifies by email 30 days before it expires.
I have set the following parameters
Evaluation Criteria: Evalutaion When a record is created, or when a record is edited and did not previously meet the rule criteria
Rule Criteria: ExpiryDate not equal to [blank]
Time Dependent Workflow action: 31 days before expiry date: Send Email, create task.
I have written a controller, and a page that uses it. This method catches an exception, I am trying to pass the error to the apex : messages visualforce page .
Clicking Running this method, I get an "An unexpected error has occurred. " page. what's wrong with my exception catching?
public void deleteOldInvoices() {
//this method is in the controller. it is run from the page try { //some code here. } } catch (Exception e) { Apexpages.addMessages(e); } }
I am attempting to query the number of rows I have for a particular object, so that if there are 0 objects, I don't operate.
I have tried the following line (this is the first line of code, which is called from an VisualForce ActionButton):
Integer Total_size = [select COUNT() from invoice__c where Week__c = :Current_Week_Ending.id];
I get the following error:
System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object
Any ideas why this happens? how can I verify that there are no objects before I work on it? for now, I will get the list and check it's size, but I think it's less efficient.
I need to create Apex code that manipulates over 200 records. Where can I find instructions on how to do this as simply as possible. I am aware that once can work with a SOQL query in a loop, which allows you to breat the 200 Barrier for one of the objects, but if you have to work with several sets of objects, it becomes difficult.
until now, I had some validation rules for record types. It was hard coded: here's an example:
Staff_Member__r.RecordTypeId <> "01220000000BGkB"
This Validation rule limits the type of record allowed in this reference.
However, hard coding anything is offcourse bad practice, and leads to much work when working with the sandbox, because (I think) all new record Type ID numbers are generated.
I was attempting to replace this rule with a sandbox sensitive formula.
I've tried different variations of the following :
In case you are curious, The reason I'm not using the standard webform is:
I get the visual design for free
I don't have to modify the form every time I modify a pick list (which is very annoying).
(Later on. I can use apex code after the submission.)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Comments:
I tried to use the same page from salesforce (rather than from the site, so we have authentication). I still CAN'T Save, BUT if there is an ?id=XXXXXXXXXX in the URL, I can make a change, and save. this works.
I'm attaching the outer part of my VF page, just so you see I'm using standarrd functionality, apex: inputfield and no special tricks.
I would like to enforce a lookup field to be 'required'. I want to do this using a validation rule (I wish there was a 'required' checkbox for lookup fields), doing this on the page layout level is insufficient for my needs.
I've tried to set up a validation rule
ISNULL( Team__c )
But this failed to trigger even in cases it should have.
I have two Eclipse Questions, would appreciate your help.
Eclipse annoyingly uses spaces instead of tabs. all of my code is indented in an inconsistant manner. How do I change from space indentation to tab indentation?
I am using eclipse in windows. When I click on any of the help items in the force.com start page within eclipse, I get a help section. this help is rendered via Internet Explorer (I think), and consistantly doesn't render at the first time of every session. I was hoping to change the renderer to Internet explorer (assuming that that is really the problem). how do I do that?
I would like help in extracting & displaying the error that results from an update (in case of failure).
In my case, the failures are usually the result of a validation rule, and I would like to display the Rule's error (and hopefully the rules name).
Event more optimistically, I would like the error to be displayed next to the field, as in theregular Salesforce behavior, but I don't know how to do that, so back to basics:
I'm using Ajax toolkit to update a field, I show the result in an Alert. I can see what looks like a class literal, it seems that I would like to extract the string called "message".
The relevent portion of the code is colored.
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/16.0/connection.js")}var question = "You are about to ";if ( {!Timesheet__c.Inclusive_Rate_Validation_Override__c}) question+= "DISABLE";else question+= "ENABLE";question+= " manual override for this timesheet, \nAre you sure?"if (window.confirm(question)){ var timesheet= new sforce.SObject("Timesheet__c"); timesheet.id = '{!Timesheet__c.Id}'; timesheet.Inclusive_Rate_Validation_Override__c = {!NOT(Timesheet__c.Inclusive_Rate_Validation_Override__c )}; var connection = sforce.connection;sforce.connection.serverUrl = "/services/Soap/u/16.0"; var result; var callComplete = false; result = connection.update([timesheet]); if (result[0].getBoolean("success") ) window.parent.location.href="/{!Timesheet__c.Id}";else alert("Cannot Disable Manual Override, check that validation rules are held\n\nFailed to update Field with error: " +result[0]);}
The result I get looks like the following (I think this is a javascript class literal). I would like to extract the message.
Cannot Disable Manual Override, check that validation rules are held Failed to update Field with error: {errors:{fields:'Standard_Inclusive_Rate__c', message:'Standard Inclusive rate must be in the range [6..25]', statusCode:'FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION', }, id:null, success:'false', }
Hi, I've written a very simple Apex Trigger (My first). it aims to count the number of Timesheet__c records with a given date, and update these to another object called Week__c.
I cannot seem to deploy this trigger. due to Test coverage being insufficiet (0%). and due to average Apex test coverage, which i is 50% (as opposed to the required 75%).
Please help me understand what would be a test method for this trigger.
Where would I write this method (in the apex trigger code? after the closing bracket?
Code:
trigger Timesheets_Count on Week__c (after insert, after update, after delete, after undelete) {
Date weekending = Trigger.new[0].Week_Ending__c;
Week__c my_week = [select w.id, w.Number_Of_Timesheets__c from Week__c w WHERE w.Week_Ending__c = :weekending limit 1];
Integer number_of_sheets = [select COUNT() from Timesheet__c t where t.Week_Ending__c =:weekending];
my_week.Number_Of_Timesheets__c = number_of_sheets;
//update My_week;// is this Line needed at all }
We all know inline Editable fields from the native VF interface. by this I mean a field that looks like "apex: outputfield" but when double clicked, becomes an "apex:inputfield".
I would like to know if there is any way that I could to this myself (I have a VF page that works on multiple rows of data, using a datatable full of "apex:inputfield" components.
Is there a VF component for that? if not, is there an Idea to create one?
1. I'm trying to mimic "Freeze panes" as in excel, on a VF page.
I have a VF page that uses the apex : Datatable component.
I would like for the leftmost 3 columns to remain visible even when viewing the far right side of the table.
Any Ideas how I could do this? I considered using two datatables, one next to the other, but how would I make sure they are vertically synchronized? (scrolling to item 100 on the one list should be reflected on the2nd list).
If you think this is a problematic issue, please consider promoting this idea:
2. I'm trying to have "Freeze Panes" in Excel, when rendering a data table as an Excel file. I assume there is somekind of Div tag to do that. any thoughts?
I have joined the forum today. I have been tryig to find a good Project for my MSc in Salesforce,but was unable to find anything.
I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this:
I am hoping to find a company that would be able to suggest a possible project - something that would be useful to the company. Previously, I worked on Salesforce so possible ideas would be Quality of Service or located news item about company. Quality of Service (My knowledge says): Opportunity Product Objects Lead 1 Trigger and 1 Class (of course more will be done according to what the company’s requirements)
Located news item about company (rough idea): What kind of products the company contains. What products is the company releasing? What is the company developing? How customers come into that company? How is the staff work going? Who is the Owner?
Background: on my MSc programme I have been studying Telecommunication Systems. As part of the programme, I have to complete a project. The first stage, on which I spend only a small part of my time, starts in January and the aim is clarify the project aims. The second stage, which is full time, runs for 3 months from June. I have a supervisor at the University but would be happy to work as closely with a company as necessary. If there are no requirements; what if I create a requirement list and if you could pass them onto the department for approval?
My idea is mainly programming based; if some networking could be included it would be great.
I have written a controller, and a page that uses it. This method catches an exception, I am trying to pass the error to the apex : messages visualforce page .
Clicking Running this method, I get an "An unexpected error has occurred. " page. what's wrong with my exception catching?

//this method is in the controller. it is run from the page try { //some code here. } } catch (Exception e) { Apexpages.addMessages(e); } }

Hi Friends,
I need to submit HTML Form's in Inline Frame(which
are hidden). The forms are submitted programatically using
form.submit() syntax.
Before submitting the forms I set the form
target to be the inline frame, so when the submit is triggered the
forms get posted in the hidden iframes. This entire process is working
**bleep** fine with firefox, but the same is not working in IE as
desired.
Instead of posting data in those inline frames, IE opens a new window where in it submits or posts the form.
Would really appreciate any help or light on above stated issue.
i want to retrieve the Server URL in trigger or in APEX class?
Actual my requirement is:
i had an object RelatedAttachement. in that Hyperlink field is of URL type. in that i am saving the URL like /servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00PR0000000MqVH. For this i want to retrieve the server URL and concatenate that Server URL to this field and updating this field. in one server it looks like http://cs2.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.Download?file=00PR0000000MqVH and in another server it looks like http://na2.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.Download?file=00PR0000000MqVH so for this one i want to retrieve the server URL and i want to concatenate that URL to that field.
So please tell me how to retrieve the Server URL in trigger or in APEX class?
I'm trying to do a simple query that compares two DATETIME fields on the same record. Here's the query:
SELECT Id FROM Lead WHERE AddressUpdated__c > AccountManagerUpdated__c Both of these are custom fields (obviously) but I always get this error and for the life of me I can't figure out why:
