Creating an Contact for Lync 2010 Manually - wpf

I have the problem of trying to manually creating an Lync contact in C# code. And checkin if the person is available. But i can seemed to get it to work. I found some code that automaticly gets the contact from an list.
var contact = (Contact)contactList.SelectedValue;
if ((ContactAvailability)contact.GetContactInformation(ContactInformationType.Availability)
!= ContactAvailability.Offline)
{
_conversationManager.AddConversation();
}
But i would like to remove the list and use an person that is stored in the code.

There are samples in MSDN that shows how to get contact by Uri, telephone number or other attributes (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh345270.aspx, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh378560.aspx)
They can help you

Merge fields won't show on visualforce page

I just started learning Apex recently, and there's still a lot of topics that are hard for me to navigate at this time. I've searched everywhere for a solution that works, but I still haven't been able to figure it out.
I've created a button on my Salesforce org that renders a PDF from a visualforce page, and attaches it to the record as a File. This is to be used with Docusign later on to capture signatures for contracts. The problem is that, when using merge fields in the VF page, they either do not show at all, or I get this exception: "sObject row was retrieved via SOQL without querying the requested field".
Now, the exception explicitly says that I need to query the fields, and this is what I've found I need to do to make this work, but I have not been able to figure out how to do this properly. I've tried running a query in several places in my controller extension to no avail (I am using a standardController that SF created for my custom object).
Here's my extension's code:
public class attachPDFToQuote {
public final i360__Quote__c q {get; set;} //Quote object
//constructor
public attachPDFToQuote (ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
q = (i360__Quote__c)stdController.getRecord();
/* for(i360__Quote__c query:[SELECT Id, Correspondence_Name__c, Name FROM i360__Quote__c WHERE Id=: q.Id]){
System.debug(i360__Quote__c.Correspondence_Name__c);
}*/
}
public PageReference attachPDF() {
/* for(i360__Quote__c query:[SELECT Id, Correspondence_Name__c, Name FROM i360__Quote__c WHERE Id=: q.Id]){
System.debug(i360__Quote__c.Correspondence_Name__c);
}*/
//generate and attach the PDF document
PageReference pdfPage = Page.ProjectAgreement;
Blob pdfBlob; //create a blob for the PDF content
if (!Test.isRunningTest()) { //if we are not in testing context
pdfBlob = pdfPage.getContent(); //generate the pdf blob
} else { //otherwise, we are in testing context. Create the blob manually.
pdfBlob = Blob.valueOf('PDF');
}
ContentVersion cvAttach = new ContentVersion(ContentLocation= 'S');
cvAttach.PathOnClient= 'Project Agreement.pdf';
cvAttach.Title= 'Project Agreement';
cvAttach.VersionData= pdfBlob;
insert cvAttach;
Id conDoc = [SELECT ContentDocumentID FROM ContentVersion WHERE Id=: cvAttach.Id].ContentDocumentId;
ContentDocumentLink ConDocLink = new COntentDocumentLink();
conDocLink.LinkedEntityId= q.Id;
conDocLink.ContentDocumentId= conDoc;
conDocLink.ShareType= 'V';
insert conDocLink;
//redirect the user
PageReference pageWhereWeWantToGo = new ApexPages.StandardController(q).view(); //redirect the User back to the Quote detail page
pageWhereWeWantToGo.setRedirect(true); //indicate that the redirect should be performed on the client side
return pageWhereWeWantToGo; //send the User on their way
}
}
I kept the commented code where I try to query the object fields so they show in VF. I also tried a couple of different ways, but nothing seems to work. Please let me know if I need to add anything else.
Thank you!
You didn't post your Visualforce page's code.
Even if it's same page (if your apex class is used in ProjectAgreement VF as <apex:page standardController="i360__Quote__c" extensions="attachPDFToQuote" - the act of grabbing a PDF version of the page counts as callout, a separate http traffic to fresh instance of the page so to speak.
So I suspect you need something like
PageReference pdfPage = Page.ProjectAgreement;
pdfPage.getParameters().put('id', q.Id);
Blob = pdfPage.getContent();
If that works... next step would be to look at your VF code.
If the page has merge fields such as {!i360__Quote__c.Name}, {!i360__Quote__c.Correspondence_Name__c} then magic should happen. Salesforce should figure out which fields are needed by looking at your VF page and silently query them for you. So you wouldn't even need the query in your constructor, you could just save stdController.getId() to class variable and then use that id in pdfPage.getParameters().set(...)
But if your VF page has references to {!quote.Correspondence_Name__c} then you need to keep the explicit query in there.

Create calendar by code and add Permissions model in Liferay

I have Liferay 6.2 GA4...
I want to create a birthdays calendar by code, in a portlet... so I create a calendar in my portlet, with this code:
long calendarId = CounterLocalServiceUtil.increment(Calendar.class.getName());
calendar = CalendarLocalServiceUtil.createCalendar(calendarId);
calendar.setName(BIRTHDAYS_CALENDAR_NAME);
calendar.setGroupId(themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId());
calendar.setUserId(themeDisplay.getUserId());
calendar.setCreateDate(new Date());
calendar.setCompanyId(themeDisplay.getCompanyId());
calendar.setUserName(themeDisplay.getUser().getFullName());
calendar.setModifiedDate(new Date());
calendar.setCalendarResourceId(getCalendarDefault(themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId()).getCalendarResourceId());
calendar.setColor(6663561);
CalendarLocalServiceUtil.addCalendar(calendar);
this works fine, and the calendar gets created... but after that i am facing an issue...
If I try to set permissions to the calendar in the portlet (in the site), i get a blank page with an error in the log:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Permissioned model is null
so my question is:
how can i create the calendar with permissions?
i want to create it with the default permissions, when you create a calendar in the site, this is what is shown, they are:
Permissions
Viewable by: Site Members
how can i do this??
thank you!!
edit
I asked this same question in the liferay forums, and didnt get an answer there... so im asking here, hopefully ill get an answer here :)
same question
you can call:
CalendarLocalServiceUtil.addCalendar(long userId, long groupId, long calendarResourceId, java.util.Map<java.util.Locale, java.lang.String> nameMap, java.util.Map<java.util.Locale, java.lang.String> descriptionMap, java.lang.String timeZoneId, int color, boolean defaultCalendar, boolean enableComments, boolean enableRatings, com.liferay.portal.service.ServiceContext serviceContext)
it will create the resource permissions.
Fabio.
I found an answer to do it, you just have to call the addModelResource method after creating the calendar..
ResourceLocalServiceUtil.addModelResources(calendar, serviceContext);
hope it helps someone!

Updating user info in liferay database

I need to update info of an existing user in my database programmaticaly
I need to update user name birth date values in user_ table in Liferay database
basically I need to run an update query.
It is not recommended to update the liferay database directly, you should use Liferay API instead to do these things. As per this liferay forum post:
The Liferay database is not published for a reason. The reason is the API does significantly more stuff than just simple SQL insert statements. There are internally managed foreign keys, there are things which are updated not just in the database but also in the indices, in jackrabbit, etc.
Since all of this is managed by the code and not by the database, any updates to the code will change how and when the database is updated. Even if it did work for you in a 6.1 GA1 version, GA2 is coming out in a couple of weeks and the database/code may change again.
Sticking with the API is the only way to insure the changes are done correctly.
Ok enough preaching and back to your problem, here are some ways you can do these:
you can either build a custom portlet and use liferay's services and update the username, birthdate etc using UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser() method.
Or you can build a web-service client based on SOAP or JSON to update the details which would call the same method
Or you can use Liferay's Beanshell tool to do this from the control panel, following is some code to update the user (created just for you ASAP):
import com.liferay.portal.model.Company;
import com.liferay.portal.model.Contact;
import com.liferay.portal.model.ContactConstants;
import com.liferay.portal.model.User;
import com.liferay.portal.service.CompanyLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.ContactLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
long companyId = 10135; // this would be different for you
User user = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUserByEmailAddress(companyId, "test#liferay.com");
// Updating User's details
user.setEmailAddress("myTest#liferay.com");
user.setFirstName("First Test");
user.setLastName("Last Test");
user.setScreenName("myTestScreenName");
UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser(user, false);
// Updating User's Birthday
// December 12, 1912
int birthdayMonth = 11;
int birthdayDay = 12;
int birthdayYear = 1912;
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.set(birthdayYear, birthdayMonth, birthdayDay, 0, 0, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
Date birthday = cal.getTime();
System.out.println("Updated User: " + user + "\nBirthdate to be updated: " + birthday);
long contactId = user.getContactId();
Contact contact = ContactLocalServiceUtil.getContact(contactId);
if(contact == null) {
contact = ContactLocalServiceUtil.createContact(contactId);
Company company = CompanyLocalServiceUtil.getCompany(user.getCompanyId());
contact.setCompanyId(user.getCompanyId());
contact.setUserName(StringPool.BLANK);
contact.setCreateDate(new Date());
contact.setAccountId(company.getAccountId());
contact.setParentContactId(ContactConstants.DEFAULT_PARENT_CONTACT_ID);
}
contact.setModifiedDate(new Date());
contact.setBirthday(birthday);
ContactLocalServiceUtil.updateContact(contact, false);
System.out.println("Users birthdate updated successfully");
The contact code is built with the help of Liferay's source code for UserLocalServiceImpl#updateUser method
In case you are wondering what is bean-shell and where to put this code, here is where you can find it in Liferay Control Panel Control Panel --> Server --> Server Administration --> Script
It depends on whether you have to do this in a portlet code or by sending a direct query to db.
Liferay basically caches everything, so if you update a record in the Liferay database while the portal is running, most likely that record is already in cache, and so the new column values won't be read at all. You will have to clear the database cache by going to Control Panel -> Server Administration.
On the contrary, if you have to do such a thing in a portlet code, you should call one of the methods of the Liferay services. You're trying to update a User, so you should call the method UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser (or UserServiceUtil.updateUser if you also want to check permissions).
You can see there are some different updateUser methods, one of them has a lot of parameters and another has only the bean as a parameter. While the first one contains all the business logic (validation, reindexing, update of related entities, etc.), the second one was just autogenerated and should not be used (except when you absolutely know what you're doing). So, use the method with a lot of parameters, simply passing user.getCOLUMN() (eg. user.getFacebookId()) if you don't want to change the value of that column.
Hope it helps, and sorry for my bad English...
update user_ set firstName="New First Name", lastName="New Last Name" where emailAddress="test#test.com";
update contact_ set birthday="date string" where contactId in(select contactId from user_ where emailAddress="test#test.com");
By first update query you can change firstName, lastName of user and by second query you can change birthdate of user.
Hope its clear!
Try this code..
Here i am updating only user First name(rest you can do by your own way)
userId = you can get this using theme display
User user = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(userId);
user.setFirstName("new name");
UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser(user);
Hope this will help you !!!

way to script an export of all AD users vcards

i'm looking for an easy way to export all active directory users info into unique vcards for each. there is some info i'd like to leave out of the vcard like home phone, and emergency contact. i've looked around the web and have little luck finding anything. any help would be appreciated.
I doubt there will be a very easy way. Ultimately, you need to
enumerate all your users (or a subset therefore)
iterate over the resulting list of users
export each user's data to a VCard
For the searching & iterating part, you can use a PrincipalSearcher to do your searching:
// create your domain context
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
// define a "query-by-example" principal - here, we search for a UserPrincipal
// this "QBE" user would give you the ability to further limit what you get back
// as results from the searcher
UserPrincipal qbeUser = new UserPrincipal(ctx);
// create your principal searcher passing in the QBE principal
PrincipalSearcher srch = new PrincipalSearcher(qbeUser);
// find all matches
foreach(var found in srch.FindAll())
{
UserPrincipal foundUser = found as UserPrincipal;
if(foundUser != null)
{
ExportToVCard(foundUser);
}
}
}
And now all that's left to do is create the ExportToVCard function :-) See e.g. this blog post with code samples and further links for help.
If you haven't already - absolutely read the MSDN article Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5 which shows nicely how to make the best use of the new features in System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. Or see the MSDN documentation on the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement namespace.
If you just want the data itself, I would take a look at Softerra's free LDAP Browser, found here.
Setup a profile for your directory server - once it's connected in the browser, you'll see the default schema for the BaseDN you've provided during the initial setup. On the server icon, right click, and hit "Export Data".
The export wizard will walk you through most of the process, but the important part is Step 3. If you want to find all users, just set your search filter to (objectClass=user), make sure your search scope is SubTree, and then then edit what attributes you want to return.
You'll have to process the results into VCards, but this is the easiest\fastest way of getting all the users and attributes that you want.

Why can't I update these custom fields in Salesforce?

Greetings,
Well I am bewildered. I have been tasked with updating a PHP script that uses the BulkAPI to upsert some data into the Opportunity entity.
This is all going well except that the Bulk API is returning this error for some clearly defined custom fields:
InvalidBatch : Field name not found : cv__Acknowledged__c
And similar.
I thought I finally found the problem when I discovered the WSDL version I was using was quite old (Partner WSDL). So I promptly regenerated the WSDL. Only problem? Enterprise, Partner, etc....all of them...do not include these fields. They're all coming from the Common Ground package and start with cv_
I even tried to find them in the object explorer in Workbench as well as the schema explorer in Force.com IDE.
So, please...lend me your experience. How can I update these values?
Thanks in advance!

Screenshots to prove I have the correct access:
EDIT -- Here is my code:
require_once 'soapclient/SforcePartnerClient.php';
require_once 'BulkApiClient.php';
$mySforceConnection = new SforcePartnerClient();
$mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection(APP.'plugins'.DS.'salesforce_bulk_api_client'.DS.'vendors'.DS.'soapclient'.DS.'partner.wsdl.xml');
$mylogin = $mySforceConnection->login('redacted#redacted.com', 'redactedSessionredactedPassword');
$myBulkApiConnection = new BulkApiClient($mylogin->serverUrl, $mylogin->sessionId);
$job = new JobInfo();
$job->setObject('Opportunity');
$job->setOpertion('upsert');
$job->setContentType('CSV');
$job->setConcurrencyMode('Parallel');
$job->setExternalIdFieldName('Id');
$job = $myBulkApiConnection->createJob($job);
$batch = $myBulkApiConnection->createBatch($job, $insert);
$myBulkApiConnection->updateJobState($job->getId(), 'Closed');
$times = 1;
while($batch->getState() == 'Queued' || $batch->getState() == 'InProgress')
{
$batch = $myBulkApiConnection->getBatchInfo($job->getId(), $batch->getId());
sleep(pow(1.5, $times++));
}
$batchResults = $myBulkApiConnection->getBatchResults($job->getId(), $batch->getId());
echo "Number of records processed: " . $batch->getNumberRecordsProcessed() . "\n";
echo "Number of records failed: " . $batch->getNumberRecordsFailed() . "\n";
echo "stateMessage: " . $batch->getStateMessage() . "\n";
if($batch->getNumberRecordsFailed() > 0 || $batch->getNumberRecordsFailed() == $batch->getNumberRecordsProcessed())
{
echo "Failures detected. Batch results:\n".$batchResults."\nEnd batch.\n";
}
And lastly, an example of the CSV data being sent:

After 2 weeks, 4 cases, dozens of e-mails and phone calls, 3 bulletin board posts, and 1 Stackoverflow question, I finally got a solution.
The problem was quite simple in the end. (which makes all of that all the more frustrating)
As stated, the custom fields I was trying to update live in the Convio Common Ground package. Apparently our install has 2 licenses for this package. None of the licenses were assigned to my user account.
It isn't clear what is really gained/lost by not having the license other than API access. As the rest of this thread demonstrates, I was able to see and update the fields in every other way.
If you run into this, you can view the licenses on the Manage Packages page in Setup. Drill through to the package in question and it should list the users who are licensed to use it.
Thanks to SimonF's professional and timely assistance on the Developer Force bulletin boards:
http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Perl-PHP-Python-Ruby-Development/Bulk-API-So-frustrated/m-p/232473/highlight/false#M4713
I really think this is a field level security issue. Is the field included in the opportunity layout for that user profile? Field level security picks the most restrictive option, so if you seem to have access from the setup screen but it's not included in the layout, I don't think the system will give you access.
If you're certain that your user's profile has FLS access to the fields and the assigned layouts include the fields, then I'd suggest looking into the definition of the package in question. I know the bulk API allows use of fields in managed packages normally (I've done this).
My best guess at this point is that your org has installed multiple versions of this package over time. Through component deprecation, it's possible the package author deprecated these custom fields. Take a look at two places once you've logged into salesforce:
1.) The package definition page. It should have details about what package version was used when the package was first installed and what package version you're at now.
2.) The page that has WSDL generation links. If you choose to generate the enterprise WSDL, you should be taken to a page that has dropdown elements that let you select which package version to use. Try fiddling with those to see if you can get the fields to show up.
These are just guesses. If you find more info, let me know, and I can try to provide additional guidance.
