How can I add a new section to the contact layout in Salesforce ? After adding the New Section How can I add the value in that Particular field.
You just need to drag-n-drop a field from the Fields layout section on the top.

i'm new to VF. I try to add a VF block in the standard Lead Layout.
I have created new custom fields and they ONLY show in the VF block if they are also placed in the standard Lead Layout.
I want them to only appear on the VF block because i want to arrange them in certain way that is not possible with std. Laad Layout.
Any pointers how to have them only in VF?
Are you trying to add visualforce page to page layout(inline visualforce page)? if yes then you can easily remove those fields which you don't want to show on page layout and add them only to visualforce page.
Also if you are changing edit layout then I think you can not remove some fields from layout, such as required fields,etc.
Salesforce standard fields cannot be deleted. However, many standard fields can be removed from a page layout.
To remove a standard field from a page layout, please follow the steps below:
Click on:
Non-Enhanced Setup Menu - Setup | App Setup | Customize |
Enhanced Setup Menu - Setup | Build | Customize |
Click on the name of the Page Layout and select "Edit".
Click and drag the field from the layout into the box on the top of the page layout editor
Click "Save".

I wanted to display a custom field as Read-Only on the Edit page ONLY of a custom object. This field should be hidden on the detail page. I tried wrapping the field in a section and display the section in Edit Page only(Page layout editor). That didn't work. I don't want to create a custom visual force page for the EDIT Page. Please suggest.
Thanks

Unfortunately, there's no way to put a field on just edit or just detail. It's both or neither.
You have two options, custom Visualforce page as an Edit override is the easiest one, but if you want to leave the page layout editor as something useful to admins, there's also a very hacky option...
Create two record types, one that displays the field and one that doesn't. Create a new button that launches a Flow (with a return URL of the edit page for that object). The Flow should change the object's recordtype to the one that displays the field. Additionally, create a Process or trigger that changes the recordtype back to the one that does not display the trigger after you save the object.
I definitely recommend the VF page...
I'm trying to put a checkbox in a salesforce page but the problem is that the required message is more than 40 characters so it doesn't fit in the checkbox label (40 character max)
I tried adding two custom fields on top of the checkbox but the problem that these fields even though if they are read only the user can edit there content(text(255)) or not be able to see them(formula(text)) in edit mode.
Is there any way I can do that without creating a custom page and appending it in the page?
It isn't an ideal solution but you could create a new section on your page layout which will allow more text than a label to be displayed. Then only put your confirmation check box field in that section.
That will affectively give you the long label description you are looking for.
You can create a very simple Visualforce page:
<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="false" sidebar="false">
I confirm that the new account is open
</apex:page>
Set the controller to your object; I use "Account" here.
You then insert the Visualforce page directly into the page layout, just like you would a field.
It sounds like you need visualforce or S-Controls (now deprecated)
An alternate is to make a text box and prepopulate it with the info, but I think that too would need those technologies
If you come up with a solution to this- let me know.
I have made some custom fields at config->account settings (manage fields) and I have put them in my registration form but I want some of them display at image I show below under the post count and generally when they create a new topic or replay.
How do I display that field? From a search I did I found that it's inside the module VIEWS. I am searching inside there to find where to add the field.
In my VF page i have option of selecting an account, i need to auto populate a label in VisualForce page with a custom field from the selected account.
How can this be done?
Thanks

the inputField and outputFIeld tags will display the label as well as the appropriate input box/data if used within a pageBlockSectionItem tag.
It might also just do it normally when used, but I know for certain it does within the pageBlockSectionItem tag.
Hope this helps!
