I have a custom link on the opportunity object which points to an external site. Is it possible to add this custom link to a visualforce page?
The solution I came up with was to copy the url salesforce creates for this custom link, and paste it in the page. It looks something like this:
my custom link
This works fine, however, it won't work once it's in a managed package installed on other servers because the lid param will be different (the custom link id). Is there a solution for this?
Have you thought about putting the URL of the link in a field on the opportunity object and then creating an output link on your VF page?

Look under $Action. Buttons and links are available via that global variable. For example $Action.Opportunity.CustomLink
To build off the answer from danieljimenez, the $Action global variable provides access to the button/link objects. From there you need to use the URLFOR function to get it into a usable form. Then you can either put it into the action param of a command button, or use it as you'd like anywhere else in your markup.
<apex:commandButton action="{!URLFOR($Action.My_Obj__c.My_custom_link)}" value="My custom button"/>
or
My link
create New Contact (Salesforce button target _blank)
<apex:commandLink target="_blank"
styleClass="btn"
style="text-decoration:none;padding:4px;"
action="{!URLFOR($Action.Contact.NewContact)}"
value="Create New Contact" />

I'm trying to get google tag manager to track a couple of different buttons on a site. We're currently unable to change the site to aid with this, so we have to find a solution solely with tag manager.
There are several buttons on the site all with the same format as to the two below.. they all have "submit" as the type and a unique term for value so I'm trying to use the tag manager Form Listener which picks up on type="submit". Is there any variable I can use to pull the value field into my event so I can create individual goals in analytics?
etc etc
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can use built-in variable "Click Element", then create custom JS-variable:
function(){
try{
return {{element}}.getAttribute("value"); //I am not sure now if it is {{element}} or {{Click Element}}
}catch(err){}
}
This will give you a value attribute of clicked button.
Maybe a useful link by Simo Ahava:

You can use built-in auto-event variable Element Attribute to get value. And be sure to use click tracking and not form tracking, because you want to track button clicks and not form submissions.
I'm new to Salesforce/Apex and I need to be able to test a component I am working on in a separate page.
Here is the scenario. I have the following test page:
<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardController="Contact">
<div id="wrapper" style="max-width:980px;">
<c:djEmailTemplate_MainComponent sObject="{!Contact}" theContactId="{!Contact.Id}"/>
</div>
</apex:page>
I can display the page by adding /apex/testpage to the url after the project name.
What I don't know how to do is to include data to satisfy the parameters (sObject, theContactId) that are needed to populate values in the component.
Can anyone explain how I can do this?
Thanks in advance.
Your test page uses the Contact object as its standard controller, so in most cases you would want to specify a Contact record for the page/controller to operate on. You can use any existing Contact record in your org, or create a new one (specifically you'll want to grab the ID of the record) and then append the ID to the URL you're using like so: /apex/testpage?id=003xxxxxxxxxxxx. This will provide the page and controller a record to pass to the VF component.
I'm working to customize liferay's Calendar portlet and have created a hook for this.
I want to show all the "Related Assets" associated with a Calendar Event directly in the list page itself where all the Events are displayed instead of the Event's detail view page.
Currently liferay shows the "Related Assets" only when we click on the Event to view the details of that Event.
Can anyone help me?
Environment: Liferay 6.1
Thanks a lot
Sabrina
I assume you already have liferay's source code and you know how to create a hook.
The JSPs you would be modifying would be in this path:
portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/calendar
So here are some steps to help you solve your query:
You need to modify the event_iterator.jspf: row.addText(event.getTitle(), rowURL);
You have to adjust the following code taken from view_event.jsp in event_iterator.jspf.
<%
AssetEntry layoutAssetEntry = AssetEntryLocalServiceUtil.getEntry(CalEvent.class.getName(), event.getEventId());
%>
<%-- <liferay-util:buffer> is a tag which stores all that is written inside
its body in a single variable string, in this case "relatedAssetsLinksBuffer"
--%>
<liferay-util:buffer var="relatedAssetsLinksBuffer">
<c:if test="<%= enableRelatedAssets %>">
<%=event.getTitle() %>
<div class="entry-links">
<liferay-ui:asset-links
assetEntryId="<%= layoutAssetEntry.getEntryId() %>"
/>
</div>
</c:if>
</liferay-util:buffer>
Now the line in step-1 becomes: row.addText(relatedAssetsLinksBuffer, rowURL);
I have not tried this but I think it would work or will atleast give you some help in solving your query.
Tip for Hooks (might be useful in future):
Liferay follows a convention in storing its JSPs, so for custom-jsps Hook (i.e. a hook created for modifying liferay's JSP) you just need to search for that particular JSP & modify it.
For Eg: You wanted to modify the first page of calendar portlet. So liferay portlet's first page is always view.jsp located in the folder with the same name as the portlet-name in this case "Calendar" and view.jsp will contain some tags like <%# include /> or <liferay-util:include /> which would include other files to show the content. So you can always start with a view.jsp and navigate ahead. By the way the names of the JSPs are also most of the time self-explanatory.
Hope this helps.
I have a VF page in which i have related lists displayed using
<apex:relatedList list="NOTESANDATTACHMENTS"/>
Is there a way i can have the link of the related list on the top of the page like the ones in standard page? The reason for this is that my VF page is pretty long and the user needs to scroll to get the view the notes and attachment list.
is there any way we can achieve this?
Thanks
Not directly, but you can always use anchor links.
Go to related list
...
<a id="mylist" />
<apex:relatedList list="NOTESANDATTACHMENTS"/>
The relationship name for the Notes and Attachments related list has been changed in winter 14 release.
you can show the attachement in the relatedlist tag.
apex:relatedList list="CombinedAttachments" subject="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.id}"
in the VF page if you are using Standard controller then there is no need to add subject attribute.
I have made an adf tree but I am not able to add links to each child node.
You didn't mentioned that whether or not you are in WebCenter Portal application. But if you are in Portal Application you can take help of NavigationContext for navigation, you can find more information and examples in the documentation. Also you can use NavigationContext from backing bean. You could define actionListener of your commandLink and from that method you can navigate to the various pages from backend as well as from the jspx page.
If you are not in Portal application, in Fusion Web Application you should define your navigation by control-flow-case of adfc-config.xml. Don't use FacesConfig for navigation. Read this documentation to know how navigation system works.
Since you are in a Tree Model and if you need to parameter then you can set some value to session as:
<af:tree value="#{ConnectorTest.model}" var="node" >
<af:commandLink text="#{node.text}" action="#{node.action}">
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{node.value}" to="#{sessionScope.value}" type="action"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:tree>
here the action will be defined in adfc-config. If you don't need to pass parameter then ignore the af:setPropertyListener but you should define the action in config file.
Hope this will help.
Edit:
Suppose you have two pages: Page1.jspx and Page2.jspx. Now you need to define the action (specifically from-action) in adfc-config.xml as following way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<adfc-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller" version="1.2">
<view id="p1">
<page>/path-to-the/Page1.jspx</page>
</view>
<view id="p2">
<page>/path-to-the/Page2.jspx</page>
</view>
<control-flow-rule>
<from-activity-id>p1</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case>
<from-outcome>goToP2</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>p2</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
</adfc-config>
Now if you have a commandLink:
<af:commandLink id="link" action="goToP2" /> will navigate you to the Page2.jspx. The action attribute also accept el expression.
Have u mean to add hyperlink on child node?
<af:tree var="node" value="#{myBean.myTree.root}" id="t1" focusListener="#{myBean.eventMethod}">
<af:commandLink text="#{node.firstname}" />
</af:tree>
when u click on node it fire focus event and call method eventMethod that accepts FocusEvent obj as arguments, in this method u set navigation rule etc etc.....
try it
You can use the <af:switcher> tag, if you want to display different action, for different child nodes
