Hi, Is anyone looking at doing this with Quickbooks? A Mashup for their customer list would be GREAT. I am not sure if it is a proprietary format and DB and therefore impossible. If so we will have to wait on QB to do it. Any thoughts would be great. Thank you !!!

Hello all,

I want to get the PHP developer tool provided by Sales Force to use the API which can edit the contacts and leads within Sales Force.

I have tried running the script on PHP 5.2 on my machine (file SforcePartnerClientTest.php), but i keep getting the error on connection that says:

Warning: require_once(PHPUnit2/Framework/TestCase.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\salesforce update\test\SforcePartnerClientTest.php on line 2

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Adam F:

Salesforce had developed something a while back to do this. I know they have it working, but I don’t know of many people ever got this to work successfully for themselves. I think it has a lot of dependencies. I am sure it is possible, but not something I have done.

What I have done is just as easy, but it works in PHP rather than s-controls. It uses the Salesforce API for communicating with Salesforce and the PHP toolkit to communicate with the API. It is currently not setup to use SSL, but it could be. The authentication to Salesforce could also be setup to be based upon a current Salesforce session. In other words, a user would access it via a web tab and the only way the code could access the salesforce database is to leverage the currently logged in users session. If someone went to the page without having logged into Salesforce.com, they’d get an error.

Lastly, the files sit on your webserver, not mine. You can do anything you want with them once they are on your site.

Is there a way to actually do everything inside SalesForce using an s-control? I saw that someone had done it about a year ago, but since then all of the pages have been removed. I really would like to contain everything inside the SalesForce system to maintain tight security and easy accessibility.

pardeep: I have recently switched my preference from Phoogle to GoogleMapAPI.class.php, which you mention, and I have had good success with it.

Can you provide more explanation as to what is not working properly? Maybe some examples.

I have found that it works best using the Google geocoding service rather than Yahoo. Yahoo only supports the US. Google supports the US and a lot more. I would start there. Then make sure you are sending a street address, city, state (if applicable), postal code and country (use the ISO codes if you can). separate each value with spaces. It should work fine.

I’m getting this error sixteen times:
Notice: Undefined offset: 3 in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\phoogle.php on line 307

I’ve downloaded the files and hosted them with 2003 Standard Server running PHP 5.1.4 on IIS 6. I have edited the files to include my Google API key as well as my username and password. The scirpt is not working from both within Salesforce and externally. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Lou Goddard
