apex HTML pass through not working


Pass through attribute doesn't generate proper html


 HTML Pass through provided by salesforce in VF pages has been very useful when working with javascript libraries, However while working on the same I came across a situation where Pass through attribute doesn't get passed to generated html if the binding variable is 'Currency' type. Below is the example.



Controller

1:  public Opportunity Oppty {get;set;}


VF page

1:  <apex:outputField value = '{!Oppty.Amount}' html-passedValue='XYZ'></apex:outputField>

Generated html
1:  <span id="j_id0:j_id1:j_id14">$20</span>



Hence you can see that the pass through attribute is not generated. However if you change the binding variable to any type other then Currency, pass through will start working. as shown below.

VF page

1:  <apex:outputField value = '{!Oppty.name}' html-passedValue='XYZ'></apex:outputField>


Generated html

1:  <span id="j_id0:j_id1:j_id14" passedValue='XYZ'>john's opportunity</span>



Hence conclusion is that whenever you bind CURRENCY type field to 'OutputField' element and try to pass 'html-*' attribute, it doesn't work.

Solution

I wrapped the outputField element with an outputPanel and provided the passthrough attribute to it and customized the Javascript accordingly.

 I have also raised this issue with salesforce community here. let's hope if get the answer.

Use the System.enqueueJob Method to Specify a Delay in Scheduling Queueable Jobs

Image
  A new optional override adds queueable jobs to the asynchronous execution queue with a specified minimum delay (0–10 minutes). Using the  System.enqueue(queueable, delay)  method ignores any org-wide enqueue delay setting. The delay is ignored during Apex testing. Where:  This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions. How:  Here are some cases where it can be beneficial to adjust the timing before the queueable job runs. If the external system is rate-limited and can be overloaded by chained queueable jobs that are making rapid callouts. When polling for results, and executing too fast can cause wasted usage of the daily async Apex limits. This example adds a job for delayed asynchronous execution by passing in an instance of your class implementation of the  Queueable  interface for execution. There’s a minimum delay of 5 minutes before the job is executed. Integer de...

Secure Apex Code with User Mode Database Operations (Generally Available)

  The new  Database  and  Search  methods support an  accessLevel  parameter that lets you run database and search operations in user mode instead of in the default system mode. This feature, now generally available, includes some changes since the last release. Apex code runs in system mode by default, which means that it runs with substantially elevated permissions over the user running the code. To enhance the security context of Apex, you can specify user mode access for database operations. Field-level security (FLS) and object permissions of the running user are respected in user mode and it always applies sharing rules. In system mode, the class sharing keywords control the sharing rules. Where:  This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions. How:  You can indicate the mode of the operation by using  WITH USER_MODE  or  WITH SYSTEM_MODE ...

IsVisibleInSelfService on Task salesforce

I was working on assignment which required me to access Tasks and show on customer portal. I written the apex code and fired SOQL, but to my surprise none of Tasks were fetched. I thought its a permission issue from profile or sharing access issue. However at the end I found that there is a field on task object called  IsVisibleInSelfService  which derives the visibility of the tasks for customer portals. Even Apex code can't find the task if this boolean field is not set to true. Probably its trivial information but usefull when you are not aware of this :)
