Dependent Multilevel Selectlists
November 25th, 2008, 4 Comments
I’ve had a number of follow-up emails regarding the code I used for my Displaying the Required Red Bar for a Control post. We assign a number of values to an Opportunity based upon a hierarchy modeled by 3 objects (you could also use just one object with a level indicator).

Salesforce.com's Flex Toolkit Operational Again
November 22nd, 2008, 1 Comment
Adobe released the new Flash 10 player about a month ago and it seems to have wreaked havoc at Salesforce.com. It looks like the main bug with the Flex Toolkit has been resolved but there are still a few lingering issues to be dealt with.
On 10/24 it looks like Salesforce.com applied an update that seems [...]
My EC2 Instance is up!
November 21st, 2008, No Comments
I finally got around to getting my EC2 instance up and running. I debated upon using an Open BlueDragon, Windows 2003 or Railo AMI. I finally decided upon the Railo image after a collegue (you know who you are) spoke highly about Railo. I found a really good tutorial on setting up EC2 so it [...]
Open BlueDragon Up and Running in Under 30 Minutes!
November 20th, 2008, No Comments
I had a few minutes to spare this morning so I thought I would install Open BlueDragon on one of our dev servers.

We have the commercial version of BlueDragon installed on a couple of boxes [...]

Setting the selectList’s required attribute makes the select’s value required but does not, by design, display the red bar next to the label. This is perfect is it does not lock developers into Salesforce.com’s look and feel. However, to actually [...]
Redirecting Users to Different Visualforce Pages
November 14th, 2008, 29 Comments
We have a large Salesforce.com org with 400+ recordtypes and 600+ page layouts. When Visualforce was released we wanted to start developing customized Visualforce pages for certain recordtypes. Unfortunately, you cannot assign Visualforce pages by recordtype so you have to implement a hack around it.
Note: There is currently as issue with Visualforce in that inputFields [...]
Developing Salesforce.com Applications with Flex and Visualforce
November 12th, 2008, 5 Comments
I receive a number of inquiries as to the best way to develop Flex apps for multiple Salesforce.com orgs. My methodology might not be the best but it certainly gets the job done by allowing me to easiy develop locally, test on one of our 10+ sandboxes and deploy to production.
Since the code never lies, [...]
