Helptext Is Not Working In Lighting Out

Biswajeet   June 23, 2020   No Comments on Helptext Is Not Working In Lighting Out

Due to some issue in Salesforce lightning css, helpText is not displaying properly in lightning out. Using following styles in your visualforce page, you can display the helptext properly.

CSS:

<style>
        .slds-popover {
        position: relative;
        border-radius: .25rem;
        width: 20rem;
        min-height: 2rem;
        z-index: 6000;
        background-color: #fff;
        display: inline-block;
        box-shadow: 0 2px 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .16);
        border: 1px solid #d9dbdd;
        font-family: 'Salesforce Sans',Arial,sans-serif;
        }
        
        .slds-popover__body,
        .slds-popover__footer,
        .slds-popover__header {
        position: relative;
        padding: .5rem .75rem;
        word-wrap: break-word;
        }
        
        .slds-popover--tooltip .slds-popover__body,
        .slds-popover_tooltip .slds-popover__body {
        font-size: .75rem;
        color: #fff
        }
        
        .slds-popover--tooltip,
        .slds-popover_tooltip {
        width: auto;
        max-width: 20rem;
        background: #16325c;
        border: 0;
        }
        
        .slds-nubbin--bottom-left:before,
        .slds-nubbin_bottom-left-corner:before,
        .slds-nubbin_bottom-left:before {
        width: 1rem;
        height: 1rem;
        position: absolute;
        transform: rotate(45deg);
        content: '';
        background-color: inherit;
        bottom: -.5rem;
        margin-left: -.5rem;
        }
        
        .slds-nubbin--bottom-left:after,
        .slds-nubbin--bottom-left:before,
        .slds-nubbin_bottom-left-corner:after,
        .slds-nubbin_bottom-left-corner:before,
        .slds-nubbin_bottom-left:after,
        .slds-nubbin_bottom-left:before {
        left: 1.5rem;
        top: 100%;
        margin-top: -.5rem;
        }
    </style>

Salesforce Lightning URL Hacking

Biswajeet   June 23, 2020   1 Comment on Salesforce Lightning URL Hacking

Here I have created a custom detail button(New Contact) on Account object with some pre-populated Contact field values from Account record using Lightning URL Hacking.

Go to setup | Object Manager | Account | Buttons, Links, and Actions | Create a new Button

  • Label – New Contact
  • Display Type – Detail Page Button
  • Behavior – Display in new window
  • Content Source – URL

URL Content:

/lightning/o/Contact/new?defaultFieldValues= OwnerId={!Account.OwnerId},AccountId={!Account.Id},MailingStreet={!Account.ShippingStreet},MailingCity={!Account.ShippingCity},MailingState={!Account.ShippingState},MailingPostalCode={!Account.ShippingPostalCode},MailingCountry={!Account.ShippingCountry}

Add this button to Account detail page layout, “Mobile & Lightning Action” section.

Note: This URL Hacking with button doesn’t work in Salesforce1 mobile app.
