Skuid NLX

I am passing a date as a URL parameter into a Skuid page, and I’d like to use it in a page title or template on my page. I have several models on the page, but one of them that I want to use it with doesn’t actually have this date as a field, so I’d like to retrieve the date from the URL parameter instead. Is there a way to do that?

be nice to be able to format the buttons to give them an uniform width (i know… picky, picky) Note: This topic was created from a reply on the Create Buttons on Tab topic.

Is there a way to get the current date to use in a template or a page title? It isn’t a field in any model that I have on my page.

I’m building a template and want to add a field from my model, but the field picker for the template isn’t showing it. I can manually type in the field’s name and it works fine, but when I try to use the field picker, it doesn’t appear there. See screenshot (Even when not using the filter function on the picker it doesn’t appear.)

I’m trying to create a link that takes a Skuid user to a specific page when they click on a person’s name. I don’t know that I necessarily want to override pages, as this will require more info than just the ID of the person’s Contact record. I figured I would just make a template with an HTML anchor tag that goes to another Skuid page. Here’s what my template field says: {{Student__c}} But here is what it looks like when it renders: Obviously something funky is happening with how the HTML and merge fields are interacting. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Skuid Team, What is the best way to integrate with Conga Composer? I’d ideally like to either open the conga menu within one of my tabs or for the conga menu to open in a pop-up after a button press. Thanks Sam

Ok so, when you’re on an account page and you click “Add Contact,” on the new Contact form it should auto populate the the Account field with the name of the account. This normally goes through URL parameter, I think, but if your New Contact page is a Skuid page, the override takes over the url parameter… so how do you do the “New Contact” redirect so that the new contact will be automatically associated with the Account?

Does the user get the Salesforce default view or does it error out?

I have a table with Accounts and a Row Action to create new Opps. The Row action is an URL like this: apex/skuid__ui?page=PipelineOppNew&AccId={{Id}} and the receiving page has a condition like this: this works so that the lookup point to the correct account. However on the new page created when Id is blank the AccId parameter is passed but the field displays the id and not the Acccount Name. As soon as the page is saved it is updated to Account Name but it would be much better if the Name was shown form the start and the id hidden from the user. How can I do this?

I tried to create a table based on a model of the ActivityHistory object, but I get this error when I try to view the page: 1. An error occurred while attempting to perform the following SOQL query: SELECT Id,ActivityType,IsTask,Subject,Status,Priority,Location,ActivityDate,Description,Owner.Name,OwnerId FROM ActivityHistory WHERE ((WhatId = ‘a0Gd000000GApaJEAT’)) ORDER BY LastModifiedDate DESC LIMIT 101 Error:entity type ActivityHistory does not support query Am I not going to be able to do this?

I’m trying to improve the entry of products (opportunity line items) to opportunities with a custom SKUID page. Instead of the standard Add-product pop-up I just want to add rows to a table and select the product with a drop down. I’ve created a pricebookentry model that selects the possible products and render it a picklst. So when a new line is added to the table the product can be selected in the picklist. Works great and is much simpler for the user when there is a limited amount products to select from. However I’d like the List price for the product to be updated when the selection is made. As it is the list price is only displayed when the opplineitem is saved. I assume that what is needed is a In-Line Component that intercepts changes of the pricebookentry field and looks up the list price. A guide on how to create such a component would be very appreciated.

Is it possible to use a merge field for Custom Label on a table header. For example when listing line items from one opportunity it would be be nice to be able to include the currency with a template on the header of a table. I tried to use template merge fields for table fields without success. I guess this is because that would need to merge for every row in the table. But I would like to get the currency from the parent opportunity and merge with. Is this possible?

The page builder allows you to create more than one page with the same name… when you click on “preview” you get (the first page?) one of the pages… but not necessarily the one you are working on. It should give you a warning… or just take you to the page with the name you put in for a “new page” if the page already exists.

Thanks to your sample snippet, I figured out how to do some simple highlighting of a value with a snippet when it is read-only. The below code highlights an integer value when it is greater than zero: var field = arguments[0], value = arguments[1], display; if (field.mode == 'read') { if (value > 0) { display = '<b>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp' + value + '&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp</b>'; } else { display = value; } field.element.append(display); } else if (field.mode == 'edit') { skuid.ui.fieldRenderers.INTEGER.edit(field,value); } I show this field in a table, and use the snippet as a custom renderer, and it seems to work as expected (yea!): Now I could probably easily add a reference to an image instead of coloring the text to make it even prettier. However, these approaches only work when the field isn’t editable (and I’m not sure if I’m up to building a new editor component). What I’d love is to be able to highlight the entire background of the ce

I have created a tab override for a Person Account Record type. However, this will not load as it should. The scenario is: For Profile “Youth Development Manager” I want a custom tab that overrides the Account tab to just show Person Accounts with Record type “Young Person”. My VF page code is: <apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="c" extensions="skuid.Redirects" action="{!redirect}?objecttype=Account&actionType=Tab&recordType=Young_Person"> </apex:page> I have a Page Association for Object type Account; Action type Tab; Applies to: Youth Development Manager; Record Type: Young Person; Page to Use: Young Persons. I am guessing this is something to do with Person Accounts?

Hmm, and any idea about how I might take the date currently in use and get the “next day” in order to add that to a redirect button? The date is passed into the page by URL, and used as a filter for a model on the page. Note: This topic was created from a reply on the How do I filter a table on a date field? topic.

I have a page with multiple tables and sets of fields that I want the user to be able to click on to make changes, but it’s not very user friendly if they have to click save in each section in order to save changes. Is there any way to add a “save all” button/feature to a page when there are multiple tables or field sets? Is there any way to do automatic saving of changes to data on a page instead of having to click a “Save” button after changes are made? Any creative solutions to this issue?

How can you include Chatter User Profile pictures in Skuid?

Many numeric and currency fields are by default using 2 decimals. However in many instances a truncated display showing only the integer part would look better in tables or field editor. How can this be done with SKUID?

Have you guys given any thoughts to reports. For banded reports you basically just need to be able to process a group by… with headers and footers for each band.

Can SKUID models be built based on custom settings?

Skuid lets you display Reference fields (in edit mode) either as Autocompletes or Picklists. In Autocomplete mode, all records of the related object are searched, but in Picklist mode, a max of 200 options are available to select from. Is there a way to raise the limit on the number of options that are available, or to show all options?

The Skuid Datepicker is built on the jQuery UI Datepicker, which offers a lot of customizability. Is it possible to modify the default Skuid datepicker functionality on certain, or all, Skuid Pages? Here’s one example: jQuery UI allows you to optionally show menus for year and month, allowing for quickly jumping to a particular month/year, rather than having to type these in. How would I change this setting for all Datepickers on a single Skuid Page?

Is there any way to sort the values in a picklist… i have a picklist drawing from a model called “minutes”, and the minutes were entered in order… 5,10,15 etc but they don’t display in that order in the picklist. This is a very common thing to have to do when you have picklists based on data… imagine i had a picklist based on a customer list… i would want the customers to appear in alpha order

Would love to do an override for the “new” action. You guys have great tutorials for view/edit and tab - but not for new. Can you help?
