I have an xPages form editing a document, which can be edited automatically (as a datasource) coming frme a view. But you can also input directly (in an input field) the key of the document; then (if it exists) it will be searched in the database (converting the key in an UNID).
The matter is that in this case it is not the currentDocument and custom controls tests (for example for displaying buttons) do not work.
So my question is how to "convert" a programmatically searched document in the database (by UNID) to the normal datasource currentDocument, so normal controls can be apply to it too ?
Thanks if you know.
Store the Unid in the session and compute the data source from there - or open the Form with the matching URL parameter
Your problem is in the URL: it does not contains params to initialize default data source. This is IMHO the simplest way to fix it: native Domino links and XPages.
I am not sure whether it will help, it depends on actual value of context.getUrl(). If it doesn't, you need to redirect to URL you compute from UNID, as Stephan suggested.

So, I've been attempting to gather picklist dependencies per Opportunity record type for my lightning components. I have been able to retrieve Standard Field dependencies by RecordType, but it the Tooling API will not return the custom field dependencies. Standard calls and queries will not work either, as they state that the field has no controlling value or dependency.
Given this information I suspected that there was a table that is hidden somewhere that contains the keys for the RecordType and FieldDefinition, hopefully with a nested Metadata object.
I found an Id in one of the parameters in the setup menu for a Record Type and Id.getSObjectType() on it. The table name is CustomFieldDefinition. However, it is not accessible via SOQL or the Tooling API.
Has anyone accessed this table? Or has anyone been able to retrieve the field-record type picklist dependencies on custom fields AND standard fields?Tooling API ResponseDebug Log with SObject Name
I think you're doing it wrong.
"Controlling field" would be another picklist or a checkbox for example, something you change during same edit action. If you have dependency to record type - in that sense it's not a controlling field. Sure, you change record type and picklist changes - but really everything would change, it should be a different page layout (different fields shown, marked readonly/required etc). There's a reason that record type change is not done on normal edit screen, you do it by clicking special link on detail view and then everything "explodes".
Have a look at "User Interface API" - set of tools meant to help your custom app (mobile? desktop?) steal recreate a normal page layout. This one might be especially useful: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.uiapi.meta/uiapi/ui_api_resources_picklist_values_collection.htm
There's even a Trailhead: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/user-interface-api (skim through whole set but especially read last module)
And since you mentioned Lightning Components - are you aware of these ready tools:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.reference_ui_api
getPicklistValuesByRecordType
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.reference_generate_record_input_create
or maybe you don't have to code it all and stuff like <lightning-record-edit-form> with recordtypeid passed to it will solve all your problems
Have a look, if I didn't give you a working solution then at least you have some keywords to Google around. If you're still stuck - try to post a code sample as new question?
I am looking to create a feature whereby a User can download any available documents related to the item from a tab on the PDP.
So far I have created a custom record called Documentation (customrecord_documentation) containing the following fields:
Related item : custrecord_documentation_related_item
Type : custrecord_documentation_type
Document : custrecord_documentation_document
Description : custrecord_documentation_description
Related Item ID : custrecord_documentation_related_item_id
The functionality works fine on the backend of NetSuite where I can assign documents to an Inventory item. The stumbling block is trying to fetch the data to the front end of the SCA webstore.
Any help on the above would be much appreciated.
I've come at this a number of ways.
One way is to create a Suitelet that returns JSON of the document names and urls. The urls can be the real Netsuite urls or they can be the urls of your suitelet where you set up the suitelet to return the doc when accessed with action=doc&id=_docid_ query params.
Add a target <div id="relatedDocs"></div> to the item_details.tpl
In your ItemDetailsView's init_Plugins add
$.getJSON('app/site/hosting/scriptlet.nl...?action=availabledoc').
then(function(data){
var asHtml = format(data); //however you like
$("#relatedDocs").html(asHtml);
});
You can also go the whole module route. If you created a third party module DocsView then you would add DocsView as a child view to ItemDetailsView.
That's a little more involved so try the option above first to see if it fits your needs. The nice thing is you can just about ignore Backbone with this approach. You can make this a little more portable by using a service.ss instead of the suitelet. You can create your own ssp app for the function so you don't have to deal with SCAs url structure.
It's been a while, but you should be able to access the JSON data from within the related Backbone View class. From there, within the return context, output the value you're wanting to the PDP. Hopefully you're extending the original class and not overwriting / altering the core code :P.
The model associated with the PDP should hold all the JSON data you're looking for. Model.get('...') sort of syntax.
I'd recommend against Suitelets for this, as that's extra execution time, and is a bit slower.
I'm sure you know, but you need to set the documents to be available as public as well.
Hope this helps, thanks.
I need to convert some datawindow text columns (PB 11.5.1 - SQL Server 2008R2 - datatype Text) to RTF.
I have 2 issues:
New data are displayed fine but the existing data do not display at
all
The RTF format popup has very limited height so the icons are half
displayed
For the first issue I did find a work around but it is far from elegant!
I append this:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1253\uc1\deff0{\fonttbl {\f0\fswiss\fcharset161\fprq2 Arial;} {\f1\fswiss\fcharset0\fprq2 Tahoma;} {\f2\froman\fcharset2\fprq2 Symbol;}} {\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green255\blue255;} {\stylesheet{\s0\itap0\nowidctlpar\f0\fs24 [Normal];}{\*\cs10\additive Default Paragraph Font;}} {\*\generator TX_RTF32 13.0.501.502;} \deftab1134\paperw3240\paperh16838\margl0\margt0\margr0\margb0\widowctrl {\*\background{\shp{\*\shpinst\shpleft0\shptop0\shpright0\shpbottom0\shpfhdr0\shpbxmargin\shpbxignore\shpbymargin\shpbyignore\shpwr0\shpwrk0\shpfblwtxt1\shplid1025{\sp{\sn shapeType}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn fFlipH}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fFlipV}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fillColor}{\sv 12506623}}{\sp{\sn fFilled}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn lineWidth}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fLine}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fBackground}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn fLayoutInCell}{\sv 1}}}}}\pard\itap0\nowidctlpar\plain\f1\fs20
before the text and add a } in the end.
I hope there is another way that does not include changing the actual data!
Any help appreciated
It might be a little cleaner to use the PasteRTF PowerBuilder function for existing data. Technically this doesn't solve your concern about changing data as the function probably adds the RTF tags much like you are doing manually.
As another method that might work is to try using a separate RichTextEdit control and the DataSource function. The DataSource function allows a RichTextEdit control to share data with a DataWindow and display the data in its input fields. If there are input fields in the RichTextEdit control that match the names of columns in the DataWindow, the data in the DataWindow is assigned to those input fields. I'd look at the InputFieldNamesVisible property also because it affects what is displayed.
This example from the Help File establishes the DataWindow control dw_1 as the data source for the RichTextEdit rte_1. Using a template document might be a way around your challenge of displaying data, but not actually changing it- not sure I have not used this myself.
rte_1.DataSource(dw_1)
This example inserts a document called LETTER.RTF into the RichTextEdit rte_letter (the names of the document's input fields match the columns in a DataWindow object d_emp), creates a DataStore, associates it with d_emp, and retrieves data. Then it inserts the document in rte_letter and sets up the DataStore as the data source for rte_1:
DataStore ds_empinfo
ds_empinfo = CREATE DataStore
ds_empinfo.DataObject = "d_emp"
ds_empinfo.SetTransObject(SQLCA)
ds_empinfo.Retrieve()
rte_letter.InsertDocument("LETTER.RTF", TRUE)
rte_letter.DataSource(ds_empinfo)
As far as the icon question - I am not aware of a solution for that.
When a user 'Saves' a Contact (for example), whether it's new or just updated, I need to:
Do an external callout using one of the Contact field values as a lookup
Display the results of the callout, so the user can make a selection
Update the Contact based on the user's selection display the updated Contact
I have found two aproaches, but have reached a point in both that I need to resolve.
Trigger Based Method
In the 'after' trigger pass the lookup string to a callback.
Update the Contact with the selection
Issues
How do you pass the lookup string or results to a visualforce page to display the lookup results?
When the user makes the selection and the update has been done, how do I move back to the updated contact?
Override Base Method
I found a discussion here that seems to suggests using overriding & redirection to someone asking about 'Edit'. I think this could also be done with the 'Save' button.
Issue
This is meant to be a deployable sollution, so I think that the override has to be set in code (I'm using the IDE) and not via Setup (or am I wrong?). I can't find out if this is possible or how to do it
Sorry for detailed question. Didn't want to just ask the wrong question (i.e. assume I know the best approach).
Thanks...
For the trigger-based method, you cannot change the built-in Save functionality, but (per your second solution) you can override the Edit button and recreate the Edit page with Visualforce, which would give you full control over the Save button and how you handle the callout and redirecting.
The release notes for Spring '10 indicate that standard-button overrides are now available for packaging, as they can be created through the Metadata API.
I can't seem to do this. The list that the app engine datastore viewer does not contain Text as an option. I had to change my fields because some of my values were too long for String, but now I can't retroactively fix my old entries.
To change the property type used by the old entities, you need to manually update each of them.
This can be easily and efficiently accomplished using the mapper API. This guide explains how to use this API.

You don't have to fix your old entries. The old ones should work as is, and the new ones just won't be indexed.
