I want to write a one time script to populate a new field on old records.

Since this is a new field it will get populated going further, however i don't want the field blank for old records hence this ine time script.

can someone please correct my code? 

//get all records that has value in startDate and endDate but no value in numberofdays

List<Custom_Object_c> sec = [SELECT Id,startDate,endDate,numberofdays from Custom_Object_c WHERE startDate !=null && endDate !=null && numberofdays==null)

//Loop through the list and update the numberofdays field

for (Custom_Object_c s: sec){

    datetime t = sec.startDate;
    date d = Date.newInstance(t.year(),t.month(),t.day());
    datetime tt = sec.endDate;
    date dd = Date.newInstance(t.year(),t.month(),t.day());
    
    integer sec.numberofdays = startDate.daysBetween(endDate);
    
    update sec;
            
}
    
}   

 

 

Hello all,

Having received invaluable help on this forum to help me finish off my test units, I am now trying to deploy the trigger I've been working on for the opportunity object.

PROBLEM #1

Trouble is, in the organization I work for, a entity with multiple companies, there are already 2 existing opportunities' triggers, that were deployed before I took over the admin role (and people left the company…).

So, how do I go around this ?

- should my test class cover testing for other triggers as well ? But then, shouldn't other triggers' test classes cover my trigger's code as well? So in fact, would I have to deploy them again ?…

- should I include, in my trigger, the code from already existing triggers ? And then delete other triggers before deploying mine ?…

PROBLEM #2

Also, to make things even more fun, there is a test class for a trigger that is not working properly (anymore?)… I tried to validate my own trigger, to see what was happening, and it fails with the following error message :

API NameTypeLineColumnProblem

Of course, I can't edit this trigger in production…

Hi I am writing a trigger on FeedItem which updates chatter post and add @mention. Now the issue is when we add @mention from Chatter UI, it comes as a hyperlink to User but when i do it through trigger code it doesn't come as hyperlink. I also tried to change feed type to 'LinkPost' but by that way we can only provide only one link to the post which is not the case here. Here i have to add more than one @mentions.
Is there any option by which i can achieve that? 

Thanks

Is there any way to stamp those fields in our custom lead conversion logic?

I am attempting to basically replicate the product object and functionality for a custom object I created called 'Inventory' on the opportunity records. I have created a button called 'add inventory' to the inventory custom object on the opportunity but I am not great with APEX or Java and I need the button to bring up a multi-select list of all of the 'inventory equipment' which have been uploaded as records on another custom object called 'inventory equipment'. It is literally exactly what the add product button does but I need it to bring up all of the inventory equipment records and relate them to the opportunity.

Can anyone help on this??

Hello,

The scenario is something like whenever a user "Jr. Executive" tries to delete a record of an object ,it cannot be deleted unless this action is approved by the "Manager" above in the hierarchy. I have tried this by the help  of  a dummy status field but was unable to execute it succesfully.

Please help me out!!

Doing some sandbox development. We are attempting to redirect a button to a new visualforce page and the page we have is not listed in the Override Properties. Here is our code for the VF page which works when manually triggered using this link https://cs14.salesforce.com/apex/newbuttonredirect

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="newbuttonredirect"

action="{!pageredir}">

</apex:page>

And then the Apex Class

public class newbuttonredirect

{

public newbuttonredirect(ApexPages.StandardController controller)

{

}

public Pagereference pageredir()

{

    Pagereference newpage = new Pagereference ('/500/e?cas16=Name:%0AAddress:%0APrimary Contact:%0ASecondary Contact:%0ADSLUsername:%0ADSL Password:%0ADSL Phone Number:%0ACABLE Modem MAC:%0AEMTA MAC:%0AShentel Phone Number:%0ASTB Serial number:%0AAvailability:%0AContact Customer Prior to Visit:%0ATicket Notes:%0AAware of Charges:%0ADirections:&retURL=/500/');

    return newpage;

}

}

I understand this might not be the best route any suggestions

We have a custom object that has role based access.

There are 3 roles with access to a layout of this object.

There is a button on this page "Update" that takes everyone regardless of role to an VF input page (lots of rows and columns)

Now we want this"Update"  button to take the user to an input page that is based on their Role (Role 1, Gets Set 1 of columns; Role 2, Set 2; Role 3, Set 3).

Is it possible/easiest to overload the button to make this decision or just create a traffic cop VF page that makes the decion and sends the User to the appropriate page?

Or is there some other way I have not thought of.

thanks,

lee

New to visual force and haven't used HTML in years so i'm having a hard time figuriring out how to make this look good.

Essentially i am creating a table of dynamic report links to be placed on a users homepage.  In order to leverage the ?pv0={!$User.Id} parameter in an HTML area within the home page i have to first use a visual force page to encode the links then represent this VF page using an iframe in the HTML hompage component.  Got that working so now the reports receive the current User.Id parameter but am struggling to modify the appearance.

here is the VF code i have managed to kludge together.

<apex:page standardStylesheets="true" showheader="false" sidebar="false" >
<apex:outputText >Welcome to Salesforce</apex:outputText><br></br>
<apex:outputtext >Below you will find all the information you require</apex:outputtext>

<apex:panelGrid id="theGrid" columns="2" border="4" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="6" style="Theme3">
<apex:outputLink value="/00OJ0000000FGuz?pv0={!$User.Id}" target="_blank" style="Theme1" id="theLink">My Awesome Custom Report</apex:outputLink>
<apex:outputLink value="/00OJ0000000FGuz?pv0={!$User.Id}" target="_blank" id="theLink2">My Awesome Custom Report 2</apex:outputLink>
<apex:outputLink value="/00OJ0000000FGuz?pv0={!$User.Id}" target="_blank" id="theLink3">My Awesome Custom Report 3</apex:outputLink>
<apex:outputLink value="/00OJ0000000FGuz?pv0={!$User.Id}" target="_blank" id="theLink4">My Awesome Custom Report 4</apex:outputLink>
</apex:panelGrid>
</apex:page>

The HTML Area home page compoenent is this:

<iframe src="/apex/My_RIM_Programs" height="200px" width="500px"></iframe>

Can anyone assist me with making the appearance of this visual force page match that of the home page where it will be utilized? I've spent time searching through the help and have found a number of references to standard CSS available within salesforce but am really struggling with how to implement these styles within the VF page and what variables i.e. "Theme2", "Theme3" to use.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm new to visualforce and think I understand it conceptually from watching the training video. I could use some help though creating my first page so I can learn it in practice...

I have a custom object called case notes. I want to override the home page tab to show my task list and the case note tab layout  so I can create and view my case notes straight from the home page. Any advice for which components, how the coding should look, etc would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
