I want to remove the buttons for Share and Add to Records on the New Note action but I cannot find documentation that support this. I need this for a single object on the database. Is this possible? New Note page
I have tried to create a custom related list using Visualforce and creating a Notes custom object but neither one fits the usecase perfectly.

I have a Snippet model that I'm using ModelAdmin to create, edit, and list in Wagtail. I'd like to create a copy function, and I can see that wagtail supports this out of the box for Page objects:
Before I write custom code to do this, I thought I'd ask if there is any way to easily do this within Wagtail. I didn't find any hooks that would even easily allow adding more buttons, and while I did find modeladmin-list-display-add-buttons, it seems to only allow me to change the placement of the default edit and delete buttons.
It is possible to achieve this. However, it will require custom code, and various overrides and additions in different places. Here are some steps that should help you on your way, with some links to some example code in the wagtailmenus extension, which does this exact thing:
Adding the custom view:
Create a custom CopyView view (subclassing wagtail.contrib.modeladmin.views.EditView will probably be your best starting point). For inspiration, you might want to take a look at one I created for wagtailmenus: https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmenus/blob/master/wagtailmenus/views.py#L141
Integrate the view with your ModelAdmin class, by adding a copy_view() method that instantiates your custom view. For example:
https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmenus/blob/master/wagtailmenus/modeladmin.py#L78
Override your ModelAdmin class's get_admin_urls_for_registration() method, to make the view accessible via a URL. For example: https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmenus/blob/master/wagtailmenus/modeladmin.py#L82
Getting the button to show in the listing:
Create a custom ButtonHelper class by subclassing wagtail.contrib.modeladmin.helpers.ButtonHelper.
Add a copy_button() method to it, that can provide all of the necessary details to create the button. For example: https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmenus/blob/master/wagtailmenus/modeladmin.py#L38/
Override the get_buttons_for_obj() method to output the copy button in the listing along with the others, depending on the user's permissions (e.g. https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmenus/blob/master/wagtailmenus/modeladmin.py#L49)
Finally, get your ModelAdmin class to use your custom ButtonHelper instead of the default one, by changing the button_helper_class attribute to reference your custom class.
If you'd like to understand more about all of the various classes within wagtail.contrib.modeladmin, I'd suggest reading the modeladmin customisation primer page from the official Wagtail documentation.
I have a view of entities which are being displayed based on an entity type filter. I now need to reorder these and would like to use the built in 2sxc functionality to do this, so I have a created a new view of the data using the "module data source" so that the ordering will work.
But how do I now make all of the existing entities of the same type (definition) appear in this new view? The view now displays one item by default and I can replace that one item. But how do I add multiple existing items? I need the Entity ID's to remain the same for Query String usage and SEO.
Thanks, hope the question makes sense.
Cheers
I believe that you are asking "how can I add many items to an instance (module) manually, so that I can also sort them manually" - is this correct?
If yes, then you must make sure your template supports lists (checkbox in the template settings). This then gives you a [+] button; but you don't want to use that, as it would be for typing in new data. There's another button called "add an empty demo entry" which you'll see as a round (+) after pressing the more ... button once. Pressing this will give you empty entries, into which you can then replace existing items.
Is there a way to create a new item of a custom Object that does not have a tab? The environment I am using is maxed out in tabs so I cannot create a new one which would easily allow me to create a new item.
I'd rather not have to write up a Visualforce page to do this, if possible.
You can create a custom link on the left side if you know the prefix of your Custom Object.
i.e. : "/a0E"
I was wondering if there is a way to override the native functionality of the lookup field in Salesforce and replace it with a visualforce page. The reason I'm trying to override this button is because when the user does a look up, the look up returns everybody with that name. What we want to return is a list of all the contacts by account for the contact being searched.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
When the user clicks the lookup button my visualforce page will launch and allow the user to see the account and all the contacts of that account.
Is this even possible? What other ways would you suggest going about this?
Here's a screen shot of what I'm trying to change:
Thanks for all your help!
It sounds really like you just need to customise the columns on the lookup to make it better suited to your needs. If you go to Setup -> Customize -> Contacts -> Search Layouts, you'll see entries for Lookup Dialogs and Lookup Phone Dialogs, there you can edit the columns displayed in the lookup windows.
If you really need a custom solution:
You can't override the lookup page itself, but you could create a new visualforce page for your account, using <apex:detail> and other similar tags to make your life simpler. Then you could include a search section underneath, where a user can enter various search terms which you put into a dynamic SOQL query and then render the results for them to choose from.
yeah its possible by javascript as i did by visual force page that will show the records of related lists and upon selection id of that record passed to parent window by jscipt. and performed same functionality ..
As far as I know - NO.
As a workaround you can use JavaScript.
What we did in our situation? We implement everything in JavaScript. We created an inputText and right on the right of this inputText we placed image with this lookup icon. On image click we create ExtJS popup window (I think you can simply create VF page and show this page in popup window). After window was closed you fill in the inputText field.
There's no out-of-the-box override for this button, last I checked, so something custom would be required. If you're set on having a popup and do not want an inline solution, I'd recommend reviewing this tutorial to get familiar with some of the issues with popups in Visualforce.
But considering what you are looking to accomplish, you could also have your account and filtered list of all contacts associated with that account appear inline on your page when the user clicks a new, custom search button. Of course that page would itself be in Visualforce (or inline Visualforce in a standard page layout) - which you may or may not want to have to code and maintain.
The AJAX Toolkit might also be a good place to start if you want to go with a custom JavaScript button placed on a standard page layout.
Hi I am trying to create a Custom Object in Salesforce.com Developer Edition, because I would then like to use this Custom Object in a New Custom Tab say "Properties". Properties tab will contain information about Realestate Properties, like # of rooms, bath rooms etc.
The problem I cannot seem to get around is how do I create a Custom Object that has many attributes. When I go to Setup->Create->Objects it only has one Label in the Custom Object definition page. I am expecting many attributes/labels I can add so I can then put this into the new Tab.
I've been looking at this for a while and I do not see a solution, so I am assuming I am looking at this wrong. Could someone recommend a solution or a book, article that would show me what I am missing.
Thanks
The custom objects page shows a list of all the custom objects you have created. If you click on the label, it takes you to the object definition. To add more attributes (called "fields" in Salesforce), go to the "Custom Fields & Relationships" section on the object detail page. Click to "New" button to add new fields from there.
Salesforce has a huge amount of publicly available training material available online.
The fundamentals doc should provide you with what you need immediately (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/fundamentals/index.htm).
I also recommend looking at the training courses available on iTunes (search for Salesforce).
