@Brendan, Go to the page you have embedded in the Setup and make sure its security is assigned to all your profiles. Most likely, what those users are seeing is a message that says they do not have the rights to the page.

Good work Scott,

I have completed the above and all works well for me in my sandbox (i am an administrator). However when i view the sidebar summary via a login that is not an administrator, it is displaying the homepage within the small box, not the list of results required.

Please help.

Brendan

Hi, I’ve got this iframe idea working fine in IE, but Firefox gives a Redirect Loop error “Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.”
I’m just pointing the iframe at an apex page. Did anyone else encounter this issue with Firefox, and if so how did you fix it?
Thanks

@CK

Actually the error is only in your test method (if your are below 10,000 records). A way around this is to find a way the test method returns fewer than 500 rows, e.g. by using System.runAs(some user user).

@CK

The error is due to one of you queries having more than 1000 rows. It’s a limitation I didn’t realize when writing the post. Only workaround I have is to remove the query counting that many rows or to put a limit on the query of 1000 (put “LIMIT 1000″ at the end of the SOQL statement). You will just have to train people that if they see 1000, it means “1000+”.

The above error is in my production, but when I run the test in developer edition, it works and no failure.

This has been working well…. but however, when I click “run test” on the class today, it say test failed:

Test Class VFController_Sidebar_Summary
Tests Run 1
Test Failures 1
Code coverage total % 100
Total time (ms) 0

Class VFController_Sidebar_Summary testVFController_Sidebar_Summary 136 System.Exception: Too many query rows: 501 Class.VFController_Sidebar_Summary.getPastDueOppty: line 52, column 8
Class.VFController_Sidebar_Summary.testVFController_Sidebar_Summary: line 68, column 14

And I cannot deploy other class even the “package.xml” file does not list this class, it gives me same error.

Any idea why?

Thanks

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;}
