Salesforce Fundamentals And Overview

CLOUD COMPUTING :-

              We can access the applications or Apps over the Internet as Utilities rather than as pieces of Software running on your desktop or in the Server Room.

APP & TAB:

             Set of tabs is Called Apps. Tabs Corresponds to a type of Object.

FORMS:

            Form that is displayed a part of tab. Form allow you to view and edit the data associated with a particular record on a tab.

LINKS:

            Links to provide navigation to related data.

THE BENEFITS OF FORCE .COM PLATFORM APP

          i) Data - Centric Apps

          ii) Collaborative

DATA CENTRIC APPS

            A data Centric App is an application that is based on structured consistent information such as you find in a database or XML File.

           That is Structured means - Table Format (not plain text)

COLLABORATIVE APPS

           A Collaborative app is an application with data and services that are shared by multiple users in different locations.

               The platform can be accessed from anywhere in the world with only a web browser.

           * Security and Sharing Model

           * Workflow rules - Assign task, Send Email ....

           * Approval Process - Sequence of Steps

TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND A FORCE.COM PLATFORM APP  

                  i) Multitenant Architecture

                 ii) Metadata - driven development model

                iii) API Access

                iv) Apex

                v) Visualforce

                vi) Salesforce Classsic

                vii) Sites

                viii) App Exchange Directory

A Multitenant Architecture

                In a multitenant architecture, all users share the same infrastructure and the same version of the Force.com platform. In contrast to their single-tenant counterparts, such as client-server enterprise applications or email servers, multitenant architectures release upgrades automatically and simultaneously for all users. Consequently, no one has to worry about buying and maintaining their own physical stack of hardware and software, or making sure that their

applications always have the latest patch installed.

A Metadata-Driven Development Model

                     An App development model that allows to be defined as declarative " blueprints" with no code required. Data Models, Objects, Forms, Workflows and more defined by metadata.

API:

               i) SOAP API

               ii) REST API

Apex

        The world's first on-demand programming language , which runs in cloud on the force.com platform servers.

            It's similar to java. Apex is specifically designed  for building business applications to manage data and processes with in the larger context of the force.com

Visualforce:

               A framework for creating feature rich user interface for apps in the cloud.

Salesforce classic:

              It is used to build the force.com App in IOS, Android and Blackberry devices.

Sites:

             Public websites and apps that are directly integrated with your salesforce organization without requiring users to login with a username and password.

App Exchange:

                Market place for Salesforce Apps.

Analys the webpage response time related problems - Using yslow add-on

YSlow

YSlow analyzes web pages and suggests ways to improve their performance based on a set of rules for high performance web pages.
http://yslow.org is the official open source website.

This add-on requires the following add-ons to work properly:

Firebug
Web Development

Salesforce Code Scanner - Analyse source code

The Force.com Security Source Scanner is a cloud based source code analysis tool built directly into our Force.com offering. Salesforce.com has made it available to all of its developers, for free, as a high value addition, which will help to enable our community to build trusted applications.

Code is scanned on a first come, first serve basis. Depending on the size and complexity of the code and the queue size, speed of results may vary.

You can run the code scanner through this URL

http://security.force.com/security/tools/forcecom/scanner


In this URL you can submit your dev org username , after submit the URL the code analysis result will send to our mail.

JAVASCRIPT - MULTIPLE CHECKBOX SELECTION WITH SHIFT KEY PRESS

MULTIPLE CHECKBOX SELECTION WITH SHIFT KEY PRESS

<script>
function checkboxClick(){
       
$(':checkbox').click(function(e){              
if (e.shiftKey){
   // Entered - When the user clicks the checkbox with shift key
shiftCheckBox = $(this).attr('id');
            // salesforce id's having multiple ':' like 'dbpage:dbform:results:j_id173:5:selectStarredCalls'. So we need to split the unique number of the Id
            // If HTML checkbox you dont need to  split the id
var shiftCheckBoxID = shiftCheckBox.split(':');
var shiftCheckBoxIDPos = shiftCheckBoxID[shiftCheckBoxID.length-2];
shiftCheckBoxIDPos = parseInt(shiftCheckBoxIDPos);                
var checkBoxClickID = checkBoxClick.split(':');
var checkBoxClickIDPos = checkBoxClickID[checkBoxClickID.length-2];
checkBoxClickIDPos = parseInt(checkBoxClickIDPos);
// checkboxIdsList - having id's of all checkboxes, When the checkboxes are created, at the time assign all the checkbox id's in this list
var checkboxIdsArray = checkboxIdsList;

if(shiftCheckBoxIDPos > checkBoxClickIDPos){
for(var i=0; i < checkboxIdsArray.length; i++){                          
var innerId = checkboxIdsArray[i];
var splitedInnerId= innerId.split(':');
var splitedInnerIdPos = splitedInnerId[splitedInnerId.length-2];
splitedInnerIdPos = parseInt(splitedInnerIdPos);
if(splitedInnerIdPos > checkBoxClickIDPos && splitedInnerIdPos < shiftCheckBoxIDPos ){
var inBetweenCheckBoxId = checkboxIdsArray[splitedInnerIdPos];
var test = inBetweenCheckBoxId ;                              
document.getElementById(test).checked = true;
  }
}
}else{
for(var j=0; j < checkboxIdsArray.length; j++){
 
var innerId1 = checkboxIdsArray[j];
var splitedInnerId1= innerId1.split(':');
var splitedInnerIdPos1 = splitedInnerId1[splitedInnerId1.length-2];
splitedInnerIdPos1 = parseInt(splitedInnerIdPos1);
if(splitedInnerIdPos1 > shiftCheckBoxIDPos && splitedInnerIdPos1 < checkBoxClickIDPos ){
var inBetweenCheckBoxId1 = checkboxIdsArray[splitedInnerIdPos1];
var test1 = inBetweenCheckBoxId1 ;
document.getElementById(test1).checked = true;
  }
}
}
}else{
            // Id of last clicked checkbox id (Without shift key press )
checkBoxClick = $(this).attr('id');
}
});
}
</script>

JAVASCRIPT FOR GET THE BROWSER NAME & CLICK EVENT

JAVASCRIPT CODE FOR GET THE BROWSER NAME 

window.onload=function(){
 
var nAgt = navigator.userAgent;
var browserName  = navigator.appName;
var nameOffset,verOffset;

if((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Opera"))!=-1) {
browserName = "Opera";
}else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("MSIE"))!=-1) {
browserName = "Microsoft Internet Explorer";
}else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Chrome"))!=-1) {
browserName = "Chrome";
}else  if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Safari"))!=-1) {
browserName = "Safari";
}else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Firefox"))!=-1) {
browserName = "Firefox";
}else if ( (nameOffset=nAgt.lastIndexOf(' ')+1) < (verOffset=nAgt.lastIndexOf('/'))) {
browserName = nAgt.substring(nameOffset,verOffset);
if (browserName.toLowerCase()==browserName.toUpperCase()) {
browserName = navigator.appName;
}
}
document.write('::browserName::'+browserName);
}

CLICK EVENT THROUGH JAVASCRIPT 

// In Safari - (Windows OS) javascript click() function doesn't work. So alternatively we can do the click() function like this

                var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evObj.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, window);
document.getElementById('clickedElementId').dispatchEvent(evObj);
Example:

if(browserName == 'Safari'){
var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evObj.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, window);
document.getElementById('clickedElementId').dispatchEvent(evObj);
}else{
   // This code working in all other browsers
document.getElementById('clickedElementId').click();
}

Javascript Character Codes (Key Codes)

WORKING WITH JAVASCRIPT KEY EVENT

 We can get the keycode in key events like onkeyup, onkeydown, onClick, onKeypress.....

window.onkeyup = function (event) {

if(event.keyCode == 38 || event.which == 38){

// here you can put your up arrow functionality code

}else if(event.keyCode == 40 || event.which == 40){      

// here you can put your down arrow functionality code

}   

if (event.keyCode == 27 || event.which == 27) {

// here you can put your esc key functionality code

like window.close();

}

 

}

Key Code backspace 8 tab 9 enter 13 shift 16 ctrl 17 alt 18 pause/break 19 caps lock 20 escape 27 page up 33 page down 34 end 35 home 36 left arrow 37 up arrow 38 right arrow 39 down arrow 40 insert 45 delete 46 0 48 1 49 2 50 3 51 4 52 5 53 6 54 7 55 8 56 9 57 a 65 b 66 c 67 d 68
