Skuid Pages packaged into module not visible in new org

Greg,

It sounds like you’ve got the pages packaged up into a Static Resource and you’ve got that Static Resource migrated to your new Org like you want, but there is one more step: unpacking the pages from the Static Resource. Right now, you can run the following anonymous Apex script in your new Org to unpack the pages (changing the values of ModuleName1 and ModuleName2 as needed, of course):

List<String> modules = new List<String>{'ModuleName1','ModuleName2'}; for (String module : modules) { StaticResource sr; if (sr == null) { try { sr = [ select Body from StaticResource where Name = :(module + 'Pages') ]; } catch (Exception ex2) {} } // The Pages for our module that we will be upserting List<skuid__Page__c> newPages = (List<skuid__Page__c>) JSON.deserialize(sr.Body.toString(),List<skuid__Page__c>.class); // Clear out any Page Ids that were packaged with the Pages for (skuid__Page__c p : newPages) { p.Id = null; } // If we have any pages, upsert them if (newPages != null &amp;&amp; !newPages.isEmpty()) { Schema.SObjectField f = skuid__Page__c.Fields.skuid__UniqueId__c; Database.UpsertResult [] cr = Database.upsert(newPages,f, false); } }

Honestly, we know that this is less than straightforward or intuitive, and it’s one of the areas that we’re really focusing on in our upcoming Summer release (stay tuned!). Of course, you can always try this out and preview the results in a Sandbox first, if you would like. Does this get you up and running?

Actually that worked brilliantly, thanks J. Very easy. HOWEVER…I now have another problem!

None of the page assignments I create in the new org (a production Enterprise edition) are working for users with a ‘Salesforce Platform’ License type. Straight forward page overrides work fine for these users, but when I try to implement page assignments based on user profile, the override defaults back to the standard salesforce layout, for anyone with a ‘Platform’ licence type. System Admin profile works fine with overrides.

I’ve double & triple checked that all the users have the Skuid page viewer permission set, licences are activated, and VF page security is enabled for the required pages. I’ve also tried re-creating the pages natively in the new org, but still the page assignments don’t work.

I can only think that it is related to the ‘Platform’ licence type. But those profiles work fine in my dev org.

Anyone have any ideas?

the resulting URL I get when the page defaults to standard layout is: 

/a019000000E0zMf?nooverride=1&sfdc.override=1

So after much ado - it turns out that a simple security setting was preventing the page assignments from being used by platform users!

For each of my custom profiles with a ‘Standard Platform’ Licence - Simply having the ‘Read’ permission enabled in profile settings for the Page Assignments object was not enough. Users require the ‘View All’ checkbox enabled under Data Administration for the Page Assignments object.



Its always the little things isn’t it!!

Hi Greg, I’m glad you got that working.  Another method that you could use instead of giving your Users “View All” on page assignments is to change the Org Wide Defaults on page assignments from “Private” to “Public Read Only”.
