I have a new user registration form. After creating the user, I want to provide various details like username, email, company name etc in the new user registration email to the administrator. After searching through various DNN community threads, I found out that these are configured in the GlobalResources.resx in App_GlobalResources folder. I can see two fields DisplayName, Email already being used. How can I get other fields like First Name, Last Name, City of the User Object?
<data name="EMAIL_USER_REGISTRATION_ADMINISTRATOR_BODY.Text"
xml:space="preserve">
<value>
Date: [Date:Current]
Display Name: [User:DisplayName]
Email: [User:Email]
</value>
</data>
You have to use a feature that is called Tokens. Read more here: https://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/tokens.
The first name and the last name are members of the user object, therefore you have to use [User:FirstName] and [User:LastName]. Other stuff (as the city) can be found in the Membership object, therefore it's [Membership:City].
I strongly recommend to create a resource file for your portal instead of changing the text in the GlobalResources.resx - this will be overwritten with the next update.

ENVIRONMENT:
Keycloack 3.2
Saml2.0
SITUATION:
I need to add user attributes value dynamically.
TASK:
I need name attribute for my user, which can fill dynamically from First Name and Last Name fields, which as I found in keycloack can be fullName property.
NOTE: Instead of fullName it can be firstName + lastName field in my case as well.
ACTION:
I added user property with name fullName under my Clients -> myCLient -> Mappers,
then added under my user Users -> myUser -> Attributes, attribute key name and attribute value ${fullName}.
RESULT:
As a result I got ${fullName} as a value instead of dynamic value from my predefined user property.
QUESTIONS:
Is it possible to do this kind of things what I need ?
If it's possible then, what are wrong in my steps here?
For users like me who looking for a solution of this problem with newest version of Keycloak, in keycloak 18.0 you can create a Mapper with the type Javascript Mapper with this code: user.getFirstName() + ' ' + user.getLastName().
As a solution, I found that under client in keylock we have builtin user properties.
Example X500 givenName, X500 surname can be added and can get in BE side as a part of SAML assertion attributes.
There is another solution if the user federation are LDAP or Active Directory
On the user federation you can use the full-name-ldap-mapper.
By default it uses cn, but you can change that.
Next in your client you would add a saml mapper.
{
"name": "fullName",
"protocol": "saml",
"protocolMapper": "saml-user-attribute-mapper",
"consentRequired": false,
"config": {
"attribute.nameformat": "Unspecified",
"user.attribute": "full name",
"friendly.name": "Full name",
"attribute.name": "displayName"
}
}
Remember the attribute.name is the property that the SP would use.
Also the nameformat has to be discussed with the SP.
I´d like to create a content type called "contact" that will be share in other content types, like "client" and "prospect". When I create a new client, I´d like to be able to create, in the same form, new contacts for this client, like a field collection. For example:
ADD NEW CLIENT
Name:
Firm:
Email:
Contacts (multiple value)
Name:
Email:
Add new contact
But, in the "Contact" content type I have a lot more fields that I can fill up later:
Name:
Email:
Phone:
Address:
City:
State....
Thanks!
You could use the rules module to setup a rule that whenever a new 'Client' entity is created a new 'Contact' entity is created based on the values in the client contacts fields (name and email).
However I am unsure as to how you could implement an 'add another item' for field groups in a form (which is what I assume is the desired functionality of your 'Add new contact').
You may also want to make sure to include an entity reference field on your contact entity type, so that it can reference the client entity to which it is related. That would give you the option in the future to display a view of contacts related to a client.
If you navigate to account/contact/custom object we do have a related list "related content" (if content is enabled and related list is added to page layout).
My question is were are these "related content" records stored? in which object?
Using apex I'm able to upload file to content version, but not able to create or find the object which stores the "related content" information.
UPDATE
Tried to create a link to show up in "related content" section of account, but no success. Got error " Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION, You cannot create a link for this type of entity through the api: [LinkedEntityId]"
Any idea?
ContentVersion cv = new ContentVersion(
versionData = EncodingUtil.Base64Decode(base64BlobValue),
Title = fileName,
PathOnClient = '/'+fileName,
FirstPublishLocationId = '058900000009KcL'
);
insert cv;
//fetch ContentDocumentId
cv = [Select Id,ContentDocumentId from ContentVersion where Id = :cv.Id];
insert new ContentDocumentLink(LinkedEntityId=parentId,ContentDocumentId=cv.ContentDocumentId,ShareType='V');
** USE CASE **
The use case is to allow user to attach content right from object detail page for eg say Account will have button say Attach Content, this will bring upload content page, once uploaded (i will create contentversion records - this is happening perfectly, no errors) and then I need to relate the uploaded content to account (from which request orginated) ie create "related content" records (here I'm facing difficulty, trying to create contentdocumentlink records but its erroring out).
The use case is just one click to attach content to account or opportunity instead of long current process were user goes to content, uploads there first and then comes back to account/opty and searches content again, and then attaches it to account/contact.
As you know the content is stored in the ContentDocument object and the links are stored in the ContentDocumentLink table.
I find that the http://workbench.developerforce.com really useful for figuring out these kinds of relationships.
See the ContentDocumentLink specification in the user docs, LinkedEntityId represents:
ID of the linked object. Can include Chatter users, groups, records
(any that support Chatter feed tracking including custom objects),
and Salesforce CRM Content libraries.
I'm thinking that based on that explanation, you can only create the ContentDocumentLink for Chatter based object fields, not for regular sObject records or custom sobjects, etc.
i have to send an email to a user in salesforce using email template.this template contain merge field type of custom object.
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
mail.setTargetObjectId(user.get(0).id);
mail.setTargetObjectId(user.get(0).Id)
mail.setTemplateId(specifier.get(0).Template_id__c);
mail.saveAsActivity = false;
mail.setWhatId(custom_object.Id);
i read in documentation
If you specify a contact for the targetObjectId field, you can specify a whatId as well. This helps to further ensure that merge fields in the template contain the correct data. The value must be one of the following types:
Account
Asset
Campaign
Case
Contract
Opportunity
Order
Product
Solution
Custom
but if we are sending email to a user not to contact then how to assign a custom object for merge field type in custom objects as in the above code
This is a GIGANTIC whole in their email methods, and one that has annoyed me for years. Particularly given workflow email alerts seem to have no problem sending an email template for a user. Alas, you can't use setWhatId() if your target is a user. But you can vote for them to add that functionality,
I've worked around this I typically create a contact with the same name and email as the user, use it to send the email, and then delete it. This works well, although dealing with validation rules on the contact object can be a challenge. See their dev boards for a full discussion.
You can get the template and replace the merge fields as follows:
EmailTemplate template = [SELECT Id, Subject, HtmlValue, Body FROM EmailTemplate WHERE Name = 'Case Update'];
Case modifiedCase = [SELECT Account.Id, Account.Name, Owner.FirstName, Owner.LastName, CaseNumber, Subject, LastModifiedBy.FirstName, LastModifiedBy.LastName from Case where Id=:modifiedCaseId];
String subject = template.Subject;
subject = subject.replace('{!Case.Account}', modifiedCase.Account.Name);
subject = subject.replace('{!Case.CaseNumber}', modifiedCase.CaseNumber);
subject = subject.replace('{!Case.Subject}', modifiedCase.Subject);
String htmlBody = template.HtmlValue;
htmlBody = htmlBody.replace('{!Case.Account}', modifiedCase.Account.Name);
htmlBody = htmlBody.replace('{!Case.OwnerFullName}', ownerFullName);
...
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
email.setSubject(subject);
email.setHtmlBody(htmlBody);
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {email});
As far as no new fields are added in the template this will work fine. The admin can mess with the format of the email without the need for code changes.
Not sure this is possible to do, but it depends on the relationship between your custom object and your users that will be receiving the merged emails. Do you have a 1-to-1 relationship between User and CustomObject? If so, perhaps adding a reference to the single custom object instance that each user object references and then adding custom formula fields on your user object with CustomObject__r.CustomField__c would do the trick.
In a custom formula field on your User object:
TEXT(CustomObject__r.CustomField__c)
Then your template could be changed into a User template and the merge fields would be the formula fields that actually pointed to your custom object instance. But if you have some other relationship like 1-to-many or many-to-many between User and CustomObject__c, I think you're out of luck.
Is there a way to derive a user's email given his user_id?
You can build a relationship between the email and the user_id,and then retrieve it as needed. If the user is logged in you can easily access both properties separately.
http://code.google.com/intl/en/appengine/docs/python/users/userclass.html
However the user_id is not a hashed version of the email that can be reconstructed using some kind of algorithm.
It seems like it's not possible to derive an email from a user id. If you want to go from user_id to email, you must store both when the user is logged in, and then, when the user is not logged in, do a lookup to convert. Eg.
class Email(db.model):
'''keyed by user_id'''
email=db.EmailProperty()
def save_user():
u=users.get_current_user()
k=db.Key.from_path('Email',u.user_id())
e=Email.get(k)
if not e:
Email(key=k, email=u.email()).put()
def get_email_from_user_id(id):
'''No way to derive email without a lookup.'''
k=db.Key.from_path('Email',id)
return Email.get(k).email # raises exception if email is not found
