I'm using the salesforce API and have a helper class that returns a SaveResult array. I'm using a try/catch block and I'm using SoapException in my catch block, but the namespace is not found. I'm not sure what using directive I should use?

The examples in the API guide show SoapException as a valid type.

Here is my method:

    private SaveResult[] CreateObjects(sObject[] objectArray)
    {
        try
        {
            SaveResult[] saveResults = this.binding.create(objectArray);

            for (int i = 0; i < saveResults.Length; i++)
            {
                if (saveResults[i].success)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("An object was created with Id: {0}", saveResults[i].id);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Item {0} had an error updating", i);

                    foreach (Error error in saveResults[i].errors)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Error code is: {0}",
                        error.statusCode.ToString());
                        Console.WriteLine("Error message: {0}", error.message);
                    }
                }
            }
            return saveResults;
        }
        catch (SoapException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Code);
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
        return null;
    }

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm relatively new to apex, so maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong with this code here. I'm trying to get a trigger to fire when I create a new object. I've created a separate class that it will make a call to.

trigger LearningTriggers on le_Object__c (after insert, after update) {
    if(Trigger.isAfter && (Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate)){
        TestingTrigger t = new TestingTrigger();
        t.changeObject(Trigger.new, Trigger.old);
    }
}

This is the method in the class that I am calling with the trigger code.

public with sharing class TestingTrigger {
    public void changeObject(le_Object__c[] newObj, le_Object__c[] oldObj){
        //some code here
    }
}

For some reason, this line in the trigger code "t.changeObject(Trigger.new, Trigger.old);" is throwing this error "Save error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: [TestingTrigger].changeObject(LIST).

It looks like there might be something wrong with the call to the method, but I'm not sure. I know the name of the method and the number of parameters in the call is correct. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Is there something that I'm missing?

I am building an app that lets our sales team (who uses Salesforce) export to a new Evernote note with one click. I have the Evernote functionality already available in a PHP script I wrote, and I was planning on using Javascript to make an XHR to that script, but that is irrelevant at this point.

What I need to be able to do is capture all of the fields in the currently-open opportunity and upon clicking my custom button / link, capture all those fields as a javascript variable that I can then POST to my PHP app. Even a simple example of how I could go about capturing one field would be great -- I can't seem to find anything in the SalesForce documentation that covers this.

I have the Box.com salesforce integration package installed in SalesForce. The integration package includes a visualforce widget which you can add to record page layouts that acts as a box.com based file browser. When you upload files using the widget, it creates a folder inside a special "SalesForce" folder in box that is associated with that record. Every record that has files attached to it on the box has it's own folder under /SalesForce/.

I have two objects in SalesForce that work closely together: Campaigns and Opportunities. By default, the box integration package does not support the campaigns object, so I created a custom visualforce page called CampaignFiles based on the built-in AccountFiles page that comes with the package. This works just fine for the campaigns object. However, because my opportunities are associated with campaigns, I would like for files uploaded to opportunity records to go into a subfolder under the associated campaign record's folder. Basically, I just want each of my opportunity records to have a subfolder in their associated campaign record's folder.

As an example, let's say I have a Campaign record called "Test Campaign" and I have a related opportunity record called "Test Opportunity". The opportunity record references the campaign record using a lookup field. By default, if I upload some files to both records, they will be uploaded to the following folders on box:

• "Test campaign" files are uploaded to /SalesForce/Test campaign/

• "Test Opportunity" files are uploaded /SalesForce/Test Opportunity/

Since "Test Opportunity" looks up the "Test Campaign" record, I would like these to be uploaded like this instead:

• "Test campaign" files to /SalesForce/Test campaign/

• "Test Opportunity" files to /SalesForce/Test campaign/Test opportunity/

Is there a way to modify the apex code of the widget to do this? I assume there must be a way to fetch the value of the lookup field to get the name of the campaign record and upload to a subfolder under that campaign record's folder...

Thanks for taking the time to read & reply. I appreciate your help!

I have a custom object (Job_c). It has a custom pick list for accounts (Acct_c).

I'm working on a trigger that takes the value from the pick list inputed by an external form (account pick list Acct_c) and updates the account lookup field (Account_c).

So, a user submits a form and populates Acct_c as John Deer, the trigger should add John Deer to the Account_c lookup field.

I tried a basic value pass:

trigger UpdateAccounts on Job__c (before insert) {
   for (Job__c obj: trigger.new){
     obj.Account__c = obj.Acct__c;

}

Throws an exception for the ID.

So I came up with:

List <Job__c> opListInsert = new List<Job__c>();
List <Job__c> opListUpdate = new List<Job__c>();
if(trigger.isInsert){
    for(Job__c op:trigger.New){
        if(op.Acct__c != Null){
            op.Account__c = op.Acct__c;
            opListInsert.add(op);
        }
    }
}
else if(trigger.isUpdate){
    for(Job__c op:trigger.New){
        if(op.Acct__c != Null && op.Acct__c !=trigger.oldMap.get(op.id).Acct__c){
            op.Account__c = op.Acct__c;
            opListUpdate.add(op);
        }    
    }
}

But throws:

Error:Apex trigger UpdateAccounts caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: UpdateAccounts: execution of BeforeUpdate caused by: System.StringException: Invalid id:

Ok, I had the logic off.

With the help below, I figured it out:

trigger UpdateAcct on Job__c (before insert, before update) {

List<String> Accounts = new List<String>(); 
    for (Job__c obj: trigger.new){

    Accounts.add(obj.Acct__c);
    }

    list<Account> acctlist = [select Name from account where Name in :Accounts];

        if (acctlist.size() > 0 ){

        for (Integer i = 0; i < Trigger.new.size(); i++)

    {

        if (Trigger.new[i].Acct__c != null)  
    {
        Trigger.new[i].Account__c = acctlist[i].ID; 
        }   

        else
            {
            Trigger.new[i].Account__c = null;
            }
    }

}

}

I have a field set on a Visual Force Page. I want to customize the field labels displayed to the user.

Currently, my custom contact field is birthdate, but it'd be better Date of Birth.

Here is the code:

   <apex:pageBlockSection title="Candidate Information">
       <apex:repeat value="{!$ObjectType.Contact.FieldSets.contactForm}" 
                var="c">
          <apex:inputField value="{!Contact[c]}" />
       </apex:repeat>
    </apex:pageBlockSection>

It outputs like:

Birthdate [ input field ]

Should be:

Date of Birth [ input field ]

Any idea how I can customize the output label?

Thanks.

I wanted to get some insight on best practices for Salesforce application development. Basically I am developing an on premise Windows service that will push data to Salesforce, using either the REST or SOAP API (probably not relevant at this point). Saying this, I had a few questions:

1. I believe that I need to create an Application (via Remote Access) that will generate a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret that will allow me to call into the Salesforce API, is this accurate?
2. If I create an application, it requires a Callback URL, what exactly is this?
3. Is there any other recommended way of doing this, if so, any links or help would be appreciated!

I have been working with the DataTables library in VisualForce and have everything working except for the export features. I followed the sample initialization on the DataTables website, but am getting an error that ZeroClipboard.js is undefined in the TableTools.js file. However, I have checked and re-checked multiple times and the zeroclipboard.js is listed as a resource in the Chrome.

The only thing I am doing differently, and was not able to determine in adapting the function to VisualForce was how to properly call the swf file. Currently I am hosting the file on a local server and referencing it explicitly in the function. Could this be my issue? The error above does not seem to be related, but it is the only thing left I think after extensive troubleshooting.

Does anyone know how I can make the swf file a static resource in Salesforce and call it that way from the function so the file is on the same server as everything else?

Below is my current function setting up DataTables (Question in reference to the swfPath: call, how do I do this with a static resource?)

          var oTableTools = new TableTools( oTable, {
            "sSwfPath" : "www.MyWebsite.com/resources/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",
            "buttons": [
                        "copy",
                        "csv",
                        "xls",
                        "pdf",
                        { "type": "print", "buttonText": "Print me!" }
                       ]
          });
                $('#demo').before( oTableTools.dom.container );

I have a client who has a custom visualforce page that is embedded on the standard Lead page via page layout. What they would like to do is have this embedded page appear conditionally based upon various criteria in the Lead Object. I have been able to implement this using a Home Page Component that uses javascript to find and hide the embedded content based on certain criteria it finds on screen. I have a couple questions about this technique:

Basically, I need a single SOQL query, executable using the web service API, that will return all NoteAndAttachment items that would normally show in the Notes And Attachments section of an Account page in the Salesforce Web UI. This includes not only N&A that are attached to the Account itself, but also those that are attached to any Case, Opportunity, or Contact that is related to the Account. Salesforce itself seems to have no problem getting that information, but between SOQL limitations and restrictions on the data model, I have yet to find a satisfactory solution.

Here's what I have so far:

SELECT Id,
(select Id, Title, IsNote from NotesAndAttachments),
(select Id, Title, IsNote from Contacts.NotesAndAttachments),
(select Id, Title, IsNote from Cases.NotesAndAttachments),
(select Id, Title, IsNote from Opportunities.NotesAndAttachments)
FROM Account a WHERE Id = '{0}'

The {0} is for use with a .NET String.Format; it'll be the account ID I'm pulling records for. This particular query fails with the following exception:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException : INVALID_FIELD: 
(select Id, Title, IsNote from Contacts.NotesAndAttachments),
                               ^
ERROR at Row:3:Column:48
Didn't understand relationship 'Contacts' in field path. If you are attempting to use a custom relationship, be sure to append the '__r' after the custom relationship name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

These are all basic, system-defined relationships, and it didn't recognize the singular "Contact" either, so I'm at a loss.

Other solutions have involved semi-join sub-selects (there's a limit of two and you can't combine them with "OR", so no dice), nested subqueries (can't), etc. I'm really at my wits end with this query language's limitations; no UNION, limited subqueries, limited subquery depth, and the NoteAndAttachment entity cannot be queried directly. There simply has to be a way to get these records the same way they're shown in the website, but I'm being frustrated at every turn.

EDIT: My answer for now is to query the NotesAndAttachments property of each of the containing object types (Account, Contact, Opportunity) and also pull Attachments from Case and project them as NotesAndAttachments to get the information I need. This process requires four roundtrips, and takes an average of about 15 seconds for 5 records' summary information (no note bodies or file binaries). I was able to push the data retrieval off to an asynchronous thread, which mitigates the retrieval time, but the performance will probably still be unsatisfactory. I'll continue to work on something more performant, but for now I've got it working.

I am trying to relate phone calls to multiple records in Salesforce. The records are in two different custom objects, but you can think of the records like a Lead or an Opportunity. Our salespeople call multiple people (Leads) for given Opportunities, and I'd like to capture both pieces of information.

Is this possible in Salesforce? My current layout has a "Related To" tab that populates when you navigate to a given record, but it forces you to choose one record before auto-saving. Is it possible to have a format that maps the Activity generated by the call to multiple records?

This could be a format with multiple drop-down "Relate To" menus. Better yet, I could use a field that allows you type a record number in to to a free-response field to relate it to an Opportunity.

Thanks!
