A Mention in the Developers Challenge
The salesforce.com Developer Force Challenge has concluded, and the team of Force Squared and The Enforcer won a mention!
Our Daily Shinro site was listed “for sheer exuberance!”
I’m really proud of the site, though the lion’s share of the kudos go to John for the concept and site design. I just coded whatever he told me to code; he’s the creative one!
So if anyone is looking for a custom Force.com Site or website integration to Salesforce, contact us and let’s discuss your needs!
Force.com Sites Guest User Profile Permissions
I’m working on an event registration application for the Sites Developer Challenge, and it involves a validation that the registrant’s email exists in a Contact record. Remembering that Steve Andersen had run into some obstacles with Contact.Email visibility, I decided to check the guest profile for Contact Field Level Security. Here’s what I found:
Guest profile Contact Field Level Security
If you squint a bit, you can see that the Opt-Out and Email fields are hidden to the guest user. I have no idea why these, in particular, are hidden. Likewise, I couldn’t find a pattern in which fields were shown on the custom objects I had created, nor which were visible on standard objects.
In any event, I don’t have any pearls of wisdom on this topic; this is more of an informative note to all that are using Sites (especially if you plan to do any communication-subscriptions) to check out the Field-Level Security.
For those wondering how to get to this Profile (since it is not visible in the usual Profile section), go to the Sites page > Site Name or URL > Public Access Settings (a button).
