How are profile permissions handled for public site access to skuid external data source?

What is the error you are getting?  Can you post a screenshot? 

My initial thinking is that you have a problem in your VF override code. 

We’ve integrated external data into public sites  (see: http://www.skuidify.com/skuid-banzai ) without a problem. 

Hey Rob,

Thanks for taking a look. Error seems to start on the first page, as the conditional rendering beneath the buttons is not working. The page loads and shows the error:

TypeError: $(…).data(…) is undefined
(see screenshot below)

We are passing in the URL parameter “bpguid” after the URL to the site as “/siteurl/?bgpuid=*****”. There are parts of the page that render conditionally based on finding records with that parameter (and those are not showing). Clicking on one of the buttons should save a contact record (if one wasn’t found), launch another skuid page and pass the parameter to the next page. Instead it gives the skuid UI message “there was an error” and does not advance. As mentioned, it works fine in preview to start the sequence on the initial page, with the parameter, and continue to the next one.

I had suspected a profile configuration issue for the public access as well but can’t track any down. Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

I may just be missing something here, but is the Skuid page displaying at all when you are viewing it in the site? If not, one issue I’ve run into before when surfacing Skuid pages on public sites is the Site Guest User not having record level access to the necessary Skuid Page record(s). If your site users are using the Guest User (i.e. not authenticating), open up the Page in question in the Page Composer, click the “Share” button, and make sure your Guest User is listed there.

I don’t think that’s what’s going on here though. That JavaScript error looks like your page is trying to access “editor” of a data attribute that doesn’t exist. I’d look through your page for the line…

var editor = $('.helpTable').data('Art_Fund_Application__c').editor; 

…and see if that points to anything.

The guest user’s profile has access to read, create and edit the related objects (Contact, Account, Application, Artwork, File). I did manually share the pages with the guest user and also found that the guest user needed the Skuid Viewer permission set. I set both of those but the same error shows in javascript and still failing to load the other skuid page. I added some more pages to the profile’s access (stuff from the Skuid world) and got the error in Javascript to go away. However the page still doesn’t render properly, not rendering the sections that are dependent on the parameter. And the button that launches the other page is now starting the actions on it but then erroring out (“there was an error” message from skuid, no specific error shown).

When I try to launch the visualforce page of the second skuid page without going through the first, it just renders the branding (header and footer) and a blank space where the page should go.

The first page of the wizard (second skuid page in process) is the one that makes the external data call. All the pages/flow work fine in preview mode. Stumped…

Mind granting us login rights? And sending the Org Id and specific pages and external site URL to us?   Support @skuidify.com 

Were pretty jammed today,  but will probably be able to take a look early next week. 

Access granted. Email sent. Thanks for the support on this…really bizarre stuff.

Thanks for taking a look, skuiders! Glad to know it wasn’t an external data settings issue (was a combo of permissions and page model condition issues).
