Skuid NLX, SFX, & EXP

Nautilus Notes number three hits tomorrow! In July, we talked about context, REST model filters, sample data, and a lot more. Check out this community post for more details, along with the recording link.For the August Notes, we’ll cover: - field properties and comboboxes- Google Calendar integrations- tracking page usage analytics- embedding content via iframes in V1 and V2…and more. We’ll also get a release preview of Spark 12.2 from our Product and Engineering teams, and even though it’s not a “major” release, there’s a number of features I’m really excited about. See you at 2:03 tomorrow!

Skuid Community, We had a request to download selected files into a single zip file. We looked at solutions that involved some JavaScript libraries and some Apex. Based on a posting by another community member Nicholas L. we found that Salesforce’s page that allows you to download a file also supports downloading a Zip file with multiple selected files. Here is the format of the URL. You just need the ContentVersionId for each selected file separated by a ‘/’: /sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/068xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/068yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy You can find more details here: http://cropredysfdc.com/2016/03/16/download-multiple-contentversion-files-as-zip Here is a sample Skuid page that contains a snippet to get the selected file ids and download the selected files as a Zip. It should work in any Salesforce org. This is a Version 1 Skuid page. The page loads a contact record and its related files. This ‘hack’ only works with Salesforce/Chatter Files. To demonstrate this feature: Instal

As per title. This must have critical mass. Especially since the code is in the codebase and commented out atm.Why no context?http://community.skuid.com/t/provide-context-parameter-to-conditional-rendering-snippet-returns-truehttp://community.skuid.com/t/no-arguments-included-in-conditional-render-snippet-for-table-global-action-9-5-4http://community.skuid.com/t/missing-parameters-for-field-conditional-rendering-snippet

I can definitely understand if this isn’t something people would need often, but searching model fields and re-ordering them in the model would be quite helpful…and perhaps something that wouldn’t be that difficult to incorporate into the page composer (since client-side search on table’s are already possible).Reason – I often want to organize model fields and be able to search for certain fields within very large models (including models with many ui-only fields).

Hello Skuid builders! We’ve got our second Nautilus Notes webinar coming up next Tuesday, July 2nd, at 2:03pm EDT. In June, we talked about custom formulas, e-signatures, data source objects and more. If you missed the first one, check out the community post here for details and a link to the recording.For the July edition, we’re going to talk about: - context conditions and grouped tables- REST models, URL merge conditions and client-side filtering- quick sample data and data source spin-up for Skuid platform…and a lot more, including not nearly enough dad jokes from Carl. We’ll also be hearing from Chandra Verrett, long time Skuid community champion, who went from building Skuid pages at AFL to working with the great people at Rosetree Solutions. It’s gonna be great.Hope to see you there! Register here: https://go.skuid.com/nautilus-notes-webinar-julyEDIT: Recording for July is up here: https://youtu.be/IOECMEQLQ9g

Something that would be extremely beneficial is if in the SKUID composer it allowed you to add comments, functionally similar to comments in code, where you can add blocks of text that describe what’s going on with the items you’ve created in the editor, but these “comments” should only show up in the editor, not the published page.Perhaps even having the ability to add comments to the titles of objects (containers and such) in the SKUID composer, so you know what a particular container is for / contains in the composer, and have added details on how it should be used right there so when scrolling through the interface you have helpful descriptions reminding you / telling other people working on the page what everything is doing.

Hi everyone! I’m so excited about this. We’ve been doing a regular knowledge-sharing session internally at Skuid for the past year and a half, and it’s turned out to be a great way to all get better together. We call it the Nautilus Notes, and we want to open it up to you - the Skuid builder community. It’ll be on the first Tuesday of each month at 2:03 EDT, and we’ll hear from implementers - Skuid SEs, SAs, engineers and the heroes at our partners and customers - about the lessons they are learning as they try to deliver excellent experiences to their users. Limitations, great feature combos, data sources, bugs, red flags, product updates - we’re going to do our best to cover what’s going on in the Skuid implementer world each month. And it’s going to be fun, too; be prepared for jokes, bad puns and the occasional internet meme.If that sounds interesting, register below and come next Tuesday with questions (we’ll do webinar-style Q&A). And if you can’t make it, no worries! We’ll p

A known issue has been reported regarding users suddenly not being able to access Skuid pages on their community, force.com sites, etc. Our team is working with Salesforce support to determine the cause of the problem and will provide a solution as soon as possible. If you are affected by this, please leave a comment with the following information:1. Your Salesforce instance (e.g. na47)2. Your Salesforce Patch number (available on trust.salesforce.com)3. Your Version of Skuid4. What is affected (i.e. Force.com Site, Community, etc.)

Used to be called a Swan Song, but “So long, and thanks for all the fish” has a more recent vintage.This is also a bit premature, since my retirement doesn’t come until October (2019), but I want to say now that one of the highlights of my 46 years in this industry has been the last 4 that I have spent using skuid. I feel I can leave on a high point. Thanks!The other reason to mention this is the opening that I will leave. Fort Collins in northern Colorado is a nice place to live, and I’m not aware of any nearby skuid users. So I will mention this to the community for anyone who may want to follow up with a request for details.

This is totally a nice to have as there are different ways to solve for this, but I think it would be pretty cool to see in the platform.  The idea is to have a global merge function tag similar to {{#urlEncode}}{{companyName}}{{/urlEncode}} that would handle the skuid.utils.merge() function.  For example:{{#merge}}{{Body}}{{/merge}} where the body field may have merge syntax in it like:Hello {{Name}}, here’s what you need to do next on case {{CaseNumber}}. What this would support is the ability to move contextual template content into data, making it more re-usable and self service.  The best comparison of existing capability is the message template structure in Salesforce behind the Email environment where you can add fields to the subject and message body.  Where this could get really exciting would be to apply this to a web experience where contextual information is served up from a data store rather than handling it all in the page builder with templates, text components, etc.  Th

Problem: Using the Skuid component in Lightning App Builder pages is currently yielding an error: A component error has occurred! [There was an error rendering a Skuid Page component for page ___ TypeError: Cannot read property ___] Who may be affected: Skuid clients using the Skuid component to bring Skuid pages into Lightning App Builder PagesWho should NOT be affected (please let us know if you are affected!!!): Skuid clients NOT using Lightning Skuid clients using VisualForce to display Skuid pages in Lightning Workaround: Create a VisualForce page for your Skuid page as shown here: https://docs.skuid.com/latest/en/skuid/deploy/salesforce/visualforce/#visualforce-markup-overview Bring that VisualForce page into your Lightning App Builder page as explained here: https://docs.skuid.com/latest/en/skuid/deploy/salesforce/lightning/#visualforce-page-lightning-compo… What is being done: Skuid opened a case with Salesforce about this issue. We are working collaboratively to get this iss

We use conditional rendering quite a bit on our pages.  In Spark, there’s a bit more nesting of components and the wrapper component is proving to be a powerful solution for laying out pages and standardizing site UI.  Conditional rendering impacts the entire contents of the wrapper (or other containing component), which means that redundant components need to be added to additional wrappers if there is an outside style that need to be changed A simple use case is being able to display a colored border or changing the background if there is a condition where highlighting a page section is necessary (like an error condition).  In V1 I would typically handle this by using merge syntax to dynamically inject a class or a style override based on either a Salesforce formula field or a Skuid UI field, but since these properties have been moved to the DSS, this kind of dynamic styling is tough.   A conditional change of DSS variants would probably be the best approach to keep this declarative.

I’d like to be able to have a bit more flexibility with the navigation component in Spark including adding an image (ie. an html tag) and to independently style icon colors.  Here’s an example in V1 that we’re doing today.

It would be very helpful to tie an accordion component (in Spark) to a Skuid model.  An example use case would be an FAQ page that interacts with knowledge.  It looks like that’s the desired capability given the fact that the context tab is in the page builder.

Just watched this youtube video for interactive wrappers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B2wrTHwvuE Can you add on hover functionality when the wrapper has a click action.

Would like to see an option to display the wizard labels below the icons in Spark.

Is it possible to have all sections of the accordion component load in the closed state?

The 12.0.1 and 12.0.4 of the Wizard has built in step navigation bar. We have the option to click on it to navigate directly to that step. There are times when I’d like to display the step but not allow clicking on the step to navigate. ie. required fields

I have an oData request header that is 528 characters, and I can’t have more than 255 in skuid. How do I resolve this issue?

First things first, I have to say that Spark is amazing and I love the direction the product is going. However, during my time spent tinkering, I’ve started to notice missing features that are nice to have. Is there a plan to build parity with existing Millau functionality? I’m keeping a running list of features/functionality that are currently available in API v1. Would love to get them incorporated in Spark. Please feel free to add to the list. Custom CSS in design system and/or skuid pages Form option to display field labels next to field (vs. above) Form collapsible section headers Required field red border? Cant find any styling for the required fields Table row edit? Is table limited to inline only?  Nice to have in Spark Design SystemMin/Max widths on components (button for example) Style for form section headers

I’ve had many instances of creating the same popup in several places on a page. Some times I’ll just switch it to a separate page and page include, but if it’s a simple popup that doesn’t make much sense. Could you give popups a unique id, then show them via the Action Framework with Toggle Component? It might have to include choosing a model to give the popup a context.

Currently rebuilding in v2 (as there currently isn’t a streamlined process to convert). When creating a template field within an Ink Table component, I noticed that the ‘Allow HTML’ option is no longer there. (present in v1). This causes the HTML inputted in the template to appear as text: Is there a way to enable HTML for an Ink Table template field in v2? There is no HTML option in the Ink Table properties. Although support documentation mentions that you can use HTML alongside table field data, I am not seeing the option in v2. Perhaps it is inherently enabled in the new v2 component? The Ink Text component is essentially the new Template component (has HTML enabling), however, I need the Ink Table template for this particular function. Let me know if I am missing something here. Any input appreciated, thanks.

Hi Community~All preview sandboxes were updated to Spring '19 last weekend and the first round of production orgs is getting updated this weekend. We have been working with Salesforce on an issue with the Spring ‘19 release wherein a blank page displays on the page if you have ALL of the following in play:Enable clickjack protection for customer Visualforce pages with EITHER standard headers or headers disabledA My Domain name that contains a capital letterUsing VisualForce pages in Lightning ExperienceIf the above scenario describes your org, please whitelist your My domain name via Session Settings as explained in this documentation. Please note that only Spring '19 orgs have the option to whitelist domains from Session Settings.As always, we encourage you to try this out in a sandbox environment first. If you continue to have issues with this after whitelisting your domain name, please let us know and we will continue to investigate. Thanks!Karen

Just thought you should know…
