adding the “with sharing” property in the public class is good in some case because the managers should see his team’s opps, if the sharing default is private.

@Rhonda, you can add the following to your query:

AND OwnerId = :UserInfo.getUserId()

Thank you, Scott.
I changed the font and now it looks beautiful.

@CK, yes you can change font-size with CSS. In my example, there’s a section that says:

#DIV_Container {background-color: #F3F3EC;}

You want to add a font-size option. The value can be a specific size (e.g. 6pt) or a relative size to the standard (e.g. .8em). Example below:

#DIV_Container {background-color: #F3F3EC; font-size: .9em;}

Thanks, I linked the ## to reports, not views.
It is indeed much faster than the S control version.

Is it possible to set the font size in the summary section? Mine shows 2 lines for some rows like “Oppty Closing This Month”.

Well, this isn’t ideal, but the following appears to work…

Your URL will be “/prefix?fcf=viewID. For example, for a Lead view, it will look like: /00Q?fcf=00B30000005JhsT. The prefix is the 3 letter prefix assigned to that object.

Start by going to any view for the object you care about and copy that URL somwhere. Then go to the View you want to link to. Once there, right-click on the Edit link and copy the URL. Use the ID from that copied URL and replace it in the main URL you are putting into your code.

Ugly, but should work.

@ Rhonda Ross: you cannot get the unique URL for the enhanced list views, if you tog between different views, you will notice the URL does not change.

Scott,

This is so cool! I can’t wait to add this to my production org. But, to do that need help with one item. In your s-control version, you included some code so that the queries would show just the records owned by the logged in user. Is that same functionality possibility with the Visualforce version, and if so, how?

If you go to the list view and click edit, it will show you the ID that you need within the URL - even with enhanced list views.

@CK: Well, I actually had the URLs in there already from last year and I now used Enhanced Views and it all worked. Maybe you can turn off Enhanced Lists, get the URLs and then turn them back on?
