Skuid NLX, SFX, & EXP

Would love to see this in the next patch/release 🙂

I always thought it was strange that the redirect action only offered current/parent frame or blank as frame options. A popup frame is sometimes very useful. I recently stumbled across the rich text components frame pop up link option. I would like to be able to utilize this with buttons/navigation components. I’m sure you could run a javasnippet that would do it, but it seems like a layup to add this option to the redirect frames.

The snippet in this post would make for good core functionality. You could load a page include from anywhere on the screen. It would allow you to create a tabset without having to have the structure of a tabset or a tab list displayed. You could use a nav button in your header to dynamically load content that makes up the entire right half of your screen, for example. With the nav or button you could pick your page include and load in parameters as needed. A load inline frame template action is also desirable for content you may want to load outside of salesforce on a third party secure site as an inline frame. https://community.skuid.com/t/change-the-page-included-in-javascript

Are there any plans to have a new set of Skuid Pages released for the core set of Salesforce objects? The current set of pages is very long in the tooth. I think pre Superbank release. Version 4.xx.

Hello everyone, I hope that you all were able to make it to our Skuid Brooklyn Launch Webinar yesterday to hear all about the Skuid Platform and the latest exciting features of Skuid. If you couldn’t make it, have no fear! Click here to see the recoding of the webinar, learn all about Skuid Brooklyn and how to get your hands on the beta.We can’t wait to see what you build and accomplish on the latest version of Skuid!

The Skuid file upload component is great, however my idea is that there would be a File Upload for Google Docs, similar to this Salesforce functionality.

In order to be able accommodate inter model interactions, it would be best if the models from other child pages show up in the model picker for model actions such as Save, Query, Update, etc.

Master-Child pages are great. They could be even better if Page Regions could be set to load after Master is loaded.My use case: Detail Page w/ Page Region in each tab of related records.

When I import, deploy, or paste Skuid page XML to create a new page, a “Version” record isn’t created. I’ve run into issues where someone made a change to one of these pages later and we wanted to go back to the original version, but there is no original version recorded. It would be very helpful if the system created a new version record upon first save as well as all subsequent saves.

Basically, Page Includes when they load on page load will load AFTER the initial page unless in  a tabset where “Defer rendering of tab contents (makes pages load faster)” is enabled and the page include is set to lazy load.I’d like to set the tabset to “Defer rendering of tab contents (makes pages load faster)” enabled but exclude select Tabs so as to get the delayed loading of page includes.

If you use the option “Field from another model” in a model condition, as long as the condition makes sense, the query works, even if the initial data type was mismatched. It looks like Skuid auto casts the data type. For example, I have a text field on a  custom object that represents an Id and when using this method, the query will work (Skuid casts the text to an Id type in the query).But when choosing the option “Result of a subquery” only matching data types are available via the Skuid page builder UI (at least for Id’s). And if you force the field through the XML you get a SOQL run time error saying something like “your where clause data type needs to match the field you’re filtering by.”Can Skuid make it so that the field used in the where clause are auto casted to the data type we’re filtering the query by?

It would be great if you could add a UI only field to an object/field returned by a child query. The use case for us is to check whether or not the child object’s status matches the parent object’s status and highlight the child row conditionally. I can make a Salesforce formula field to check that, but I’d prefer to add this as  UI field instead of adding it to the data model.On the same vein as this idea. Maybe they can be merged (if that’s a thing on the community?).https://community.skuid.com/t/filter-table-row-by-sub-queried-object-field-values

Would be great to have the ability to highlight or draw attention to certain fields with Conditional Highlighting in a Table.  Think of your leads that are past the SLA or Opps that may be past the Close Date.You can do that simply in Excel but would be great to show right on the page in Skuid.

I’ve been asked to provide this by several clients now. Tasks and Events in one table. Always said it wasn’t possible as a Table component only works with one Model.That said, there’s no reason the rows from a Event object model wouldn’t work in Table showing rows from a model based on the Task object in Read Only mode. Especially since many of the field API names are exactly the same between the two objects.So with inline js, the rows from an Event model can have it’s rows adopted into the Task model.You can then use a checkbox formula to make IsTask available in the Task/Event models. Using this, conditionally rendered row actions for each type can then be used to display custom popups for editing.Context can be used for both popups on both models to display a popup and edit mode field editor.

Hello guys and gals! I’m Shmuel and I’m a new Skuider. I’ve been learning skuid for about 1 or 2 months now and it is a life changer. It’s one of those tools that is so easy to use, it becomes a gateway for learning more complex things (kind of like Salesforce itself…). I become more and more impressed each day. It’s like Skuid has thought of everything possible (not saying there’s not room for growth though). But it’s not only the tool itself that’s great, the Skuid community is chock full of information and contributions. Here’s a small contribution to give back! It’s one of those ‘use at your own risk’ kind of things given that I’m completely new to javascript and web development (my experience is mainly in Apex). So, forgive the bad practices when you find them! And also let me know about them :). The idea behind this snippet came from a user. When presented with a pie chart, he wanted to be able to select multiple parts of the pie and see the data below. So I put a before render s

I think this is something that could be built given current tools, but would take a bit of effort. Putting this out as a long-term to-do for myself but also to see if anyone has a smarter way of going about it, or if they know this would not work for some reason. Here’s how I would do it:Clone the page builder page and override the standard page builder with the cloned version Add a model that looks to another salesforce org, e.g. a sandbox (lots of other steps first to create a data source that looks to another org) The model would look for a page with the same name (and optionally same module) and pull in one page record and return the last modified date and last modified by fields Create a template component with some warning text in it like “This page has a newer version in {{otherOrgName}}. It was last modified on {{date}} by {{user}}” Render this template if the last modified date of the other page is greater than the last modified date of this page (or render it all the time wit

There are steps that must be followed in order to setup skuid-grunt.  Sometimes, a little automation helps.  This script is for Mac OS or Linux, and surely has much room for improvement.  Feel free to use, change, suggest, or user for light reading :-).skgruntmenu.sh----------------------------###########################  AUTOMATION ##############################    set -e# Get configuration parameters.#######################################################################export setx=“set -x”export setx=“set +x”if [ -e .menusrc ]then  . .menusrcfiprereqs() {     NODEINSTALLED=1   GITINSTALLED=1   command -v node status >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo >&2 “Node is not installed.”; NODEINSTALLED=0; }   command -v git status >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo >&2 “Git is not installed.”; GITINSTALLED=0; }   if [ NODEINSTALLED == 0 || GITINSTALLED == 0 ]; then      echo “Node.js and Git need to be installed before proceeding”      echo “Do you want to download them?

This idea is in reference to Barry’s post. He is requesting that users be able to add a “selected” class to the various “nx-item” classes. In order to add more clarity on pages, this functionality will allow users to see when an item is selected, without needing to take any action when its selected.  Please vote this up if you would like to see this so the devs know how important this is as they consider ideas for a future release. Thanks for helping make Skuid better!Karen

Here’s the work around and this will work with almost any use case. Only issue is that the UI experience will be unconventional in that the UI will load without data and then a query is performed.https://community.skuid.com/t/model-condition-based-on-formula I’d prefer that the page loads normally and formula added as a choice in Content for Value property of Condition. I also tried creating a formula field in a prior model thinking I could use it in the next model, but it seems formula fields are calculated after all models are loaded.

One thing that would be great in globally controlling colors would be to make use of colors assigned to picklist values. Especially in Opportunities where Stage is used to split on Basic model or group in Aggregate models.

Dear Beloved Skuid Community,I regret to inform you that our Skuid community will be unavailable this Friday from 7-9 pm PST for regularly scheduled maintenance of the platform. Thanks for your understanding and patience!Karen

I want to know if there are alternatives to Salesforce’s getValues and getInstance custom settings methods so that I can directly refer custom settings data in Skuid. I know that we can create models based on custom settings but I see below issues with this approach: 1) It is not possible (or is very difficult) to use hierarchy custom setting if we want to leverage all three locations- UserId, profile and Org default. 2) Aren’t we adding extra SOQL query to Skuid page by using model for custom setting? Not sure, if this way, we are taking benefits custom setting offers. I did brief search on the community but could not find better way to implement custom settings. Please let me know if there is.
