Need to show a popup message in home page only for the first time a user logs into salesforce....
its more like a splash page.
it can be a jquery popup as well..
can i do it using a visualforce page ??? if yes, please give ur suggestions
can we do it using the sidebar component in salesforce ???
I thought of showing it using a sidebar component by keeping a custom field in user object...everytime he logs in i will check the custom field and the show the popup...since this popup will be shown only for the first time is there anyother better solution instead of querying the user object evertime..
thanks.
You can use window.open method of Javascript and for the sidebar provide your scroll option.
If you want to get fancy to have customized look you can just use jquery modal with some style on document ready.
We can use cookie to store if this is the first time or salesforce user object can tell you this is the first time

I have created a lightning web component and added this on the detail page of the account as quick action. As I need to open new page with that lwc component on click on that quick action so I created a lightning page through lightning app builder and added created lwc component there.
In the lwc component I am simply fetching data from one custom object and showing that. When I login with one of the salesforce profile then it's showing error Page doesn't exist.
I have debugged and found that the lightning page's tab's visibility is hidden and it's not showing through quick action. If I change visibility to default off then it's started working.
Can anyone please suggest me what I am doing wrong here. Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks
I am writing a mobile app and when the user sees some screens of the app for the first time, I would like to show a tooltip, explaining some of the functionality.
For instance, the user navigates to the profile page, and I show a tooltip on the add icon, saying something like "you can add a photo here".
Obviously I dont want to show this tooltip every time the user navigates to the profile page, so what is the correct way of doing so? Is it via redux? Keeping some state like "tooltipWasShown"?
Or should I write a custom hook? Something which checks if the tooltip was shown? (this should happen again via redux I guess)
I dont think it is a unique problem, but I couldn't find any blog posts/examples of what is the way to implement it. Any suggestions are welcome!
You will need to use Async Storage for the save data about tutorial, if user reload app redux will be empty. Or will add isFirstEnter field to user in DB and then check this field
I have a view for which route has been defined. On the view I have a no of images and when I click any of them the Modal Dialog appears with the detail of that image. What I want to do is to change the url only when the modal appears so user can easily share them. And yes, the share url would be another route I will define so when user directly come to that one, the modal pops in. Any suggestion please?
I would not change the URL when a modal appears. A modal is an overlay of your page and actually not a new page with a new URL.
Many image hosters, however, show the URL in a read-only field under the picture so that users can copy it. Maybe this is the way you would like to go.
On the page itself I recommend using $location to determine if there is an imageId in your URL. If so, just invoke the same logic as if a user clicked on that image on the page.
There's a search box on the top of Salesforce. Is it possible to override(re-implement) it? Like catching the click event, popping up dialog, or customizing the search result page...
I went over the Visualforce development guide, it seems I can't do this with Visualforce. Any suggestions?
You'd need to use custom sidebar components.
In one of them place javascript that will intercept the events from the global search -> and make that event invoke whatever you want.
Background:
I am using backbone.js & Twitter Bootstrap in my client-end page.
On clicking the logout button on header, a confirmation dialog should open.
The question is that
should I use router such as /logout to change to logoutView ?
If click No in the dialog, how could I show the main content with data before the dialog is opened.
Thanks!
Yes, you can use a router and you should.
First thing to know, is you have to render application's layout before dispatching any route, because the layout is rendered and needed for every action, so it's independant, right ?
Second you create a "logout" route in your router and give it the "#logout" hash, then in your "logout" action you open the modal.
Don't use router for such thing. Just fire the modal directly because:
On changing the router, you are gonna push that to the History. Hitting the browser's back button shouldn't really open a modal window.
URLs should be crafted in a way to be bookmarked. You don't want a URL that would open a popup or a modal window!
It's much simpler just to start the modal than to create a variable to hold the previous view and to fall back to it when clicking No
I have build client-side apps using different MVC frameworks like AngularJS and Backbone.js. Every time I faced the same situation you are talking about and found that the easiest and most accurate way is to just show the modal.
UPDATE
Please watch this. This is Jeremy Ashkenas the author of backbone.js stating exactly your situation about how should URLs be used and weather if they should be used to open a pop up or not.
