A Mention in the Developers Challenge

October 2, 2009 by David Schach Leave a Comment

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 […]

Overload Apex Class to be Controller AND Extension

July 24, 2009 by David Schach 2 Comments

Coding the new premium version of Mass Update Contacts (details to come), I replaced the two parts of the page with Apex Components. This will allow the app to support custom address fields and international address formats. I didn't want to write one ControllerExtension for the main page, a CustomController for the view section component, and another CustomController for the pageblocktable component. So here is the overloaded class constructor. Note that this works because an extension passes the StandardController to the constructor, and a CustomController passes nothing:

Sonny Cloward, SysAd at Rainforest Alliance, approached us about writing a Visualforce page to display all incoming emails for a given Case Queue. This led to quite a few interesting discoveries. Here's how we handled the project:

Project: Change Owner Button in Visualforce

November 13, 2008 by David Schach 7 Comments

Drawing upon some code I found in the Developers Guide, I have written a Visualforce page to mass-change the owner of all selected records to any active User in Salesforce. Yes, it only works with Contacts for now, but my next step will be to use Dynamic Apex to pass the sObject name to the page and its extension/controller, allowing me to reuse one bit of code for multiple objects. We'll see how it goes. But in the meantime, enjoy this page that lets you perform a search, check which records you want to transfer, and then input a User. I've tested it with 50 records at once, so that should suffice for most uses.

Upcoming Plans

November 9, 2008 by David Schach 1 Comment

This blog post is partly an announcement of X-Squared’s upcoming plans and projects, and partly a way to hold myself to my list. It is said that while managing the Yankees, Joe Torre tried to quit many times, until someone bet him $1000 that he couldn’t quit… and told everyone he knew about the bet. Clearly, $1000 is small change to Torre, but the pressure of the whole world knowing his plan to quit helped him quite a bit. So here is X-Squared On Demand’s list of projects and plans (outside of the standard billing work for our amazing clients):
