I have been using SOAP to deal with Salesforce.com and have been using the getUpdated() call, using the timestamp I retrieve from the getServertimestamp() call. I have watched my process check, (it polls every minute) and a few seconds after I save the change in the Sandbox environment, I see it poll, get no <ids> in the getUpdated cal...
When using the SOAP API to work with salesforce.com (SFDC) it seems that the primary key in the underlying database is Id. Well there seems to be two representations of this value as either a 15 character version or an 18 character version. I have been using the 18 since it is clearly more specific, but what is contained in the last th...
I am trying to create a dynamic picklist in a datatable. I can set the default value with a single picklist, but not when there are multiple ones. I also need to be able to store the value of whatever it is changed to on any row, which will hopefully be bound to some variable in a list. To accomplish this I created a new field on the ob...

I am using a salesforce workflow to send out product information and invoices to clients but I am running into problems thinking of how to verify if a client receives the email and or opens it. Is there any way to prove that a client received my inventory list or invoice? Doing some prior research on this subject I have come across the f...
I can't figure out why this isn't working: <apex:repeat value="{!MyContacts}" var="c" > <c:ContactRowComponent contactLastName="{!c.LastName}"/> </apex:repeat> (where on the main controller MyContacts returns an array of Contact objects, and on the component contactLastName is defined as a String attribute) This gives me error:...

Salesforce, worst development platform ever, has thrown a new error message at me, and so far I haven't found anything useful in the docs about this. I am trying to save an object in a controller extension, and it does in fact save the record, but instead of returning to the page that I indicate, it shows me the error message "Hierarchy ...

In Salesforce I have an account. On that account I have a couple of fields that are populated from the PHP SDK after some processes run in the background. The PHP SDK updates a field on certain conditions, when that happens I also would like to lock down that field to read-only. Can I do this from the PHP SDK? ...
So I'm attempting to make a page in Visualforce(salesforce's page creator), and am having issues with the javascript aspect of it. Basically what should happen is that the section will generate a series of links. The javascript needs to click those links.

This code is in visualforce (salesforce's page editor language). Basically the apex:repeat tags function as a sort of loop, generating a set of urls from outputlink. All these urls have a class of "name". What the jquery is to do is find all the urls with the class name, and click them so they open in new windows. Its not working. <ape...

I've been developing an OEM application on Force.com for about a year, having joined a year into the project. It is consistently an exercise in frustration and disappointment, and it has become clear that every single day spent writing code on this platform is a wasted day. It is nearly impossible to build a full-featured application on ...

I keep seeing vacancies for software developers that require EAI experience. From what I can figure, this means someone with experience developing with one of the large commercial off the shelf (COTS) packages (SAP, Oracle, SalesForce etc). As I'm not working in a company that doesn't have any of these systems, how can I gain EAI skill...
The company I work for is building a managed force.com application as an integration with the service we provide. We are having issues working concurrently on the same set of files due to the shoddy tooling that is provided with the force.com Eclipse plugin. If 2 developers are working on the same file, one is given a message that he ca...

I'm trying to write some apex code using this query and not getting anywhere: List<Task> tasks = [SELECT id, whatid, who.account.parent.name FROM task WHERE who.account.parent.name LIKE 'Procter%']; I'm not surprised this doesn't work, but can't seem to find documentation anywhere that explains how I would go about this. Does anyone ...
Hi. I just refactored (renamed) some Apex classes on the Saleforce web, and the change seems to have taken just fine on the web. But the force.com IDE did not download these new classes. Refresh from Server, Save to server and Synchronize all appeared to do nothing. But if I go under "Project Propertiess, and then change the 'Project...
