Skuid

We have been using an app called Picture Uploader to attach profile photos to Contact Records. The app attaches the photo to the Contact record and Account record, creates and populates a field called Profile Photo URL with the URL of that photo attachment. We have another field called Picture ID that displays the unique identifier contained in the Profile Photo URL. Last, we have a formula field called Picture that displays the image. The formula is as follows: if ( LEN(btydev__Picture_Id__c) > 0, IMAGE(“/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=” & btydev__Picture_Id__c, “”), “”) How do I get the photos to display in Skuid? I’ve gone through your instructions. I can’t find a way to link to the current attachments. We have thousands of them attached to our contacts records. Thanks!

i’m using the slider example and it works great now the client wants to also see the numeric value as the slider slides the jquery examples show this… but that means adding a div and a control to display the number… i don’t know how to add those to the skuid page so the javascript can update them can you point me the way?

Building on the case outlined in a previous post, I have a page showing details of object/model “A”. I want users to see a table below that represents a junction object between object “A” and object “B”. The record being linked to in object “B” is the same for all of the records in the table, and I can retrieve It’s ID from existing models on the page. Since the object “B” record is implied, I don’t want to users to have to select it, but I do need the system to be able to populate that field upon save of a new record in the table. Seems like I need a snippet for saving that can set this value on any new records then save the model. How would I identify and loop through the new records to set the value?

I know I can override a “view” link globally or for profiles or record types, but can I do it selectively (or remove the link entirely) for an editable lookup field in Skuid? I want users to be able to set values in the lookup field, but NOT have the values in the field be clickable (or, at the very least, be able to override the link so I can take them somewhere else). I don’t see how to do that with the settings for a lookup field.

I thought (or maybe I was just assuming) that Skuid would respect the same user- and field-level permissions that Salesforce enforces, but I was just able to edit a field that I didn’t think was possible. Please confirm the interaction between read/edit capabilities for Skuid pages & users and Salesforce security.

The text size in my Skuid pages is really big - too big for practical use. But when I try to shrink it down using the browser zoom settings, everything else gets too small. How do I change the default text size for all Skuid pages?

I have a Salesforce org that uses the PowerDialer for Salesforce application, and I also use Skuid. However, in my Skuid pages, the PowerDialer telephone icons aren’t showing up next to the Phone fields in my Skuid page. Can this be done?

I have an aggregate model displaying results in a table. Some of the “grouping” fields shown in the table are the name fields of relevant records, but they don’t appear as links to those records as they normally would when including those fields in a field editor, template, or a table based on a “normal” model. How do I get these links to appear so that users can click and go to the record? In some cases I also want to create an alternative link, because I need to supply an additional parameter, but I don’t seem to be able to create a template with data from fields in the aggregate model. How would I make such links?

The width of the textbox for a picklist differs between different picklists. It seems like the longest selectable value controls the width up to a maximum width. Is it possible to manually set this width so that longer texts can be displayed and also so that you can align picklists on both sides when they are in the same column?

When working with the “WhatId” (aka “Opportunity/Account Id” or “Related To”) field on the Task and Event objects, Salesforce lets you pick from lots of different possible target objects. On certain Skuid Pages, I would like to limit the set of possible target objects to, say, just Opportunities, or just Accounts and Cases, so that the user doesn’t have to scroll through a list of all the possible target objects. Is this possible with Skuid?

Since the Page Title already has the record name in it (in this case, the Project Name), I don’t want to include the Project Name in the field editor right below the Page Title. It takes up a lot of space and is only necessary in case someone needs to edit it. Can I use a template instead of the Page Title component? Can you give me an example of the html/css that would need to be in the template? Thank you!

I’m ending up with some wide table forms… so the position of the filters and buttons on the right becomes a big problem… they’re invisible unless you scroll left and they’re not where you would expect them to be… since people scan from right to left isn’t there any way i can move them… maybe with a custom script ?

I have a client list page I want users to use the generic filter to find by first name, last name etc and display the results in the list (as opposed to setting up custom filters) but i want the page to start empty… not by showing an unfiltered list of clients how to i set up the model so that initially it dispalys nothing… and then lets the filter be applied to show the clients that match the filter

I would like to change the default text that appears when I hover over the green plus icon on a Table from “Add New {Object Name}” to something custom, for instance for a Tasks table, change it from “Add New Task” to “Add Task / Log a Call”. Is this possible?

To generate a DrawLoop document, I want to make a button that does this: window.open(“/apex/loop__looplus?eid={{Id}}&sessionId={{$Api.Session_Id}}&autorun=true”) Where “ID” is the SF record ID of a record currently in use by my model. When I tried to put this into a simple redirect button (without the “window.open”) it interpreted my curly braces as literals. Is there a different syntax I would use to it that way? Alternatively, I should be able to make this out of a snippet, but what is the syntax to retrieve specific field values of specific records in the models on my page (and the Session ID) in the javascript?

I’d love to see a checkbox/boolean renderer where I can click on an image instead of a little box. For instance, I’d like to provide (links to) separate images representing “unchecked” and “checked”, and when you click on the image it changes to the other one and changes the boolean field’s value. I can think of some parts of how to do this, but I don’t think I know enough about the Skuid object model to do it all. Is there an example of such a solution?

I’m creating a button that will launch a DrawLoop function to generate a nice doc for printing in another window, but it needs the current user’s Salesforce session ID. How do I access that?

I have a picklist of a bunch of statuses (new, submitted, rejected, in progress, etc.), but ideally the user should only be able to choose one (submitted) or leave it alone (new, or approved). Is there a way to make a button on a Skuid page that changes the value in a field on that page to something specific (and then even saves the page, perhaps)? Then the user doesn’t have to click on a field and then choose a value in the field, they can just click once. Right now I’m contemplating adding a new picklist field that has only the two the values in it, then a workflow that can update the main status field once they save their changes, since there isn’t a good way to limit which values the user can choose in a picklist field. Obviously that’s hokey, though, and doesn’t improve the UI experience, either.

Can I combine Skuid pages with Visualforce site templates features so I can provide custom branding around my skuid page? Or should I just embed the Skuid page in an iframe in a normal force.com page? (http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/customizing-the-look-and-feel-of-your-force-com-site)

I seem to recall an example of concatenating or “rolling up” into a single field the values in a text field from records of a child object. For instance, I’d like to show the names of relevant (i.e., filtered) students in a single field on a class object. I could create a table, but it would be smaller and more simple to see in this case with just a quick list of their names. I don’t know how to do it, though, so if I’m remembering right, can you point me to the relevant example?

I have a data model which consists of a single parent object that will have multiple child relationships. I want to create teh parent and all the children in one go, or have a way of creating the parent, and then the children in a multi step process like they user is filling in ‘one form’ I can’t seem to find a particular example in the docs?

Is there a way to set a condition on one table so that it shows records linked to the selected record in another table on the same form I think the first problem is that there is not a way to “select” a record, other than to check its checkbox it would new a “record selector” that make the id of that row available in javascript (?) so that the other table’s condition could get access to it This is a pretty common pattern… in this case i want to display a list of statements for a client… and list of payments for the selected statement I could do it by use a row level action and going to another form… but it would be really nice to do it on the same form

I need to trigger creating statement records for clients so i need a way to put an input field on a page where a user can select a date and click a button to create all the open statements I’m guessing I’ll use a visual force page that will contain the code to create the statements and then do a redirect back to the page where the process starts so how do i put an “unbound” text box and a button that will launch the request… or do i need to do that in a regular visualforce page ?

I’ve created some Skuid pages which work great with a standard SF license, but when I go the page when logged in as a partner portal user I get a general permissions error. Other then ensuring that the portal user has access to the underlying objects for my pages’ models, is there anything special I have to do to ensure the page works for partner portal users, such as add permissions to Skuid components?

I’m attempting to create a table from an aggregate model, but the column headers are not looking very friendly. Can I change these?
