Re: My Householding App is now on Appexchange


You might have to customize the SOQL query to work if you have the "non-profit" installment of SF, i.e. Households instead of Accounts.  I'm not sure if that's just the label, or the actual field name, but it would be causing that to come up blank. 

Check this query to see if these field exist in your Contact and Account (households) object.

var SearchString="Select Id, ContactId, Role, IsPrimary, AccountId, Account.Name From AccountContactRole Where ContactId = '{!Contact.Id}' ";

(instead of AccountId, might be HouseholdId)

If you're using a mac, I would recommend the SoqlXplorer as it made my life a lot easier.

Ok. 

Another thing, thanks to my buddy, when you copy and paste this from the forum it does not reinterpret the smiley faces and eats the characters leaving you with blanks. 

If it still isn't working for you, contact me and I will send you the .txt file.

Re: My Householding App is now on Appexchange

Hello, all
 
My Lead Conversion tab stopped working this week: nothing shows up when I click on the tab.
 
A few weeks before that I was getting error messages (Error updating contact: undefined) and couldn't convert leads using this tab.  I went to the Tour the Force in San Jose on Monday and when I went to ask a SF developer about the error message, we couldn't get the Lead Conversion screen to show up.    
 
And since then the Lead Conversion tab doesn't work at all. Same with New Contact tab, it doesn't create the contact and gives  a similar error message: "Error creating contact: undefined".  
 
Is anyone else having this problem?

Re: My Householding App is now on Appexchange

Hey,
I'm trying to demo this code of yours in my Recruiting App exercise to learn more about s-controls. So far so good... but I still have one error message to solve (using Firebug to debug):

init is not defined
onload (load)
init();

I've copied your code from this thread and taken care of the "smiley face" problem by adding those missing --> ) back to the code. So I'm not too familiar with javascript, and I can't figure out why I'm having this error. Are these lines correct in the code:

<html>
<head>
<script src="/soap/ajax/10.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/functions.js"></script>
<script>
function init () {


...........................

</script>

</head>
<body class='account' onload="Init();" >

Someone? Any ideas? What is the general idea of that function init ()?? :smileysurprised:

Thank You!!

Re: My Householding App is now on Appexchange

Steve,

 

I am a bit confused and new to the installing the non-profit starter pack. Is the householding app you developed the same as the salesforce Householding package upgrade that in on their website? Householding versin 1.18 

 

Also, maybe your app solves this problem. but when I tried importing contact records with spouses onto the database (with the non-profit starter pack installed), it did not automatically add the spouse as a contact of the household but the household name would merge the two names together and generate two separate contact records but the records are not linked. Is the why you developed our household App?

 

Sorry if my description is not clear. I am new to using Salesforce and upgrading it to the non-profit pack.

 

Also, you recommend using a particular app to import data? I just use the import data function under setup/data management/import accounts/contacts

Re: My Householding App is now on Appexchange

Our foundation has completely switched over the the Householding application and all donations identified with a HH

rather than "contacts" which we like.  

 

In the meantime, I would very much like to see the Householding function to offer:

 

1)  Using Household fields for MS Word documents

2)  Adding households to campaigns easily.

3)  Adding "lifetime donations" to Households like the contacts. 

 

When can we see these features available to use?

 

Thanks!

Lynn

Hey everyone,

Our non-profit has been using the household app that you created and it's been working out just fine.  However, we've been having a problem with putting one contact under two different households.  We keep track of youth in our sports programs and sometimes we have youth that go from one parent household to another and thus we need to connect them to both households.  Is there a way to do this through your app?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.



I'm looking at Householding for a similar purpose. Instead of sports we have trips, currently about two per year.  I'd like to define a trip as a Household then assign kids (contacts) to the trip HH.

 

Were you, sfpal, able to do this? Suggestions? Caveats?

I forgot: One person can go on multiple trips.
