New Opportunity Page Layout – With Highlights Panel!

February 18, 2010 by David Schach 6 Comments

Step 1: Enable the Highlights Panel

Yesterday, I enabled the new Opportunity page layout in my Developer Spring ’10 Preview org, and it took a few steps, so I thought I’d share them with you. Firstly, you’ll need to contact salesforce.com to get this feature enabled. Then be patient. It takes a minute or two for the update to propagate. Clearly, […]

Get Documents and Attachments out of Salesforce

February 8, 2010 by David Schach Leave a Comment

As Content will be included in all Salesforce licenses (for completeness, I'll add 'to some degree') with the Spring '10 release, orgs will be faced with the daunting prospect of getting their documents and attachments out of Salesforce and into Content. I had this problem when Content was first released and I was asked to […]

Filtered Lookups, Validation Rules, and Order of Execution

October 6, 2009 by David Schach Leave a Comment

Reading the cheatsheet for Filtered Lookup (beta), I noticed an interesting line: Lookup filters function similarly to validation rules when you save a record. That is, actions that cause related records to save, such as changes to a roll-up summary fields, also trigger the lookup filters on the related record and block the save. The […]

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 […]

Preparing a New Org

September 16, 2009 by David Schach 4 Comments

Every time one encounters a fresh org, there are maintenance tasks to perform. I usually go through an org (whether a Developer Edition org or a Prerelease version) and do the same tasks, generally in no particular order. This time, however, I wrote down what I did as I did it. Looking at the list, it's hardly in any "best practices" order at all - it's just how I did it. There's no need to follow every step, and it is not a complete list of all possibilities, but this should give you some idea of the possibilities and available tweaks: (*** indicates some of the new features in WInter '10)

Show Current Year Using Only Visualforce

August 17, 2009 by David Schach 1 Comment

While perusing some websites, looking at html code, I saw something interesting: A company had used Javascript to update the copyright date of its website using Javascript. This is the code. Of course, as a Force.com developer, I prefer to use Visualforce and Apex over Javascript (as it makes the client thinner - thick clients […]

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:
