Visualforce Page Component:

<apex:component>
    <apex:actionStatus onstart="startLoading();" onstop="stopLoading();" id="loadStatus" />
    <style>
        .overlay {
            display: none;
            height: 100%;
            left: 0;
            position: fixed;
            top: 0;
            opacity: 0.3;
            -moz-opacity: 0.3;
            width: 100%;
            -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=30)";
            filter: alpha(opacity=30);
            background: #000;
            -khtml-opacity: 0.3;
            z-index: 1000;
        }

        .loader {
            background: url('/img/loading32.gif') scroll no-repeat 0 0;
            width: 32px;
            height: 32px;
            position: absolute;
            left: 50%;
        }
    </style>

    <div id="load_scrl" class="loadingBox loader" style="display:none"> </div>
    <div class="loadingBox overlay"> </div>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

        function startLoading() {
            $('#load_scrl').css('top', $(document).scrollTop() + 200);
            $('.loadingBox').show();
        }

        function stopLoading() {
            $('.loadingBox').hide();
        }
    </script>
</apex:component>

<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" status="loadStatus" rerender="myForm"/>

Use in Javascript:

startLoading(); //Start Loading

Get The Week Number of Month From Date in Salesforce

public Integer weekOfMonth(Date todaysDate){
        Integer weekCount = 0;
        Integer startWeekResidue = 0;
        Integer endWeekResidue = 0;
        
        //Calculating startWeekResidue
        Date dt = todaysDate.toStartOfMonth().addDays(-1);
        Date dtFirstWeekend = dt.toStartOfWeek().addDays(6);
        startWeekResidue = dt.daysBetween(dtFirstWeekend);
        
        //Calculating endWeekResidue
        Date dtLastWeekend = todaysDate.toStartOfWeek().addDays(-1);
        endWeekResidue = dtLastWeekend.daysBetween(todaysDate);
        
        //Counting the weeks
        weekCount = (todaysDate.day() - (startWeekResidue + endWeekResidue))/7;
        weekCount += (startWeekResidue > 0 ? 1:0)+(endWeekResidue > 0 ? 1:0);
        System.Debug('Week Number: ' + weekCount);
        return weekCount;
}

Example: Pass Parameter: 13Sept2017 – Output: 3

Salesforce Object Key Prefix List

Every ID in Salesforce is either 15 characters or 18 characters (API). The first 3-digits of the ID are always the Entity ID which can be used to determine the type of the entity.

For example, an Account record with ID “001D000000IBVzo” has the prefix “001” on NA1 which has server ID ‘D0’:

Find Object Type From Record ID Prefix

Standard and Custom Objects in Salesforce have three character prefixes which form the first part of the record ID. For example, an Account record with ID “001g000001jmmCA” has the prefix “001”, which is the prefix for the Account object.

In some scenarios, you may want to find out the name of the object associated with the prefix using Apex code.

Find the Object name based on Record ID prefix:

String objectName = SchemaGlobalDescribe.findObjectNameFromRecordIdPrefix('100');
System.debug('Object Name: '+ objectName);

Find the Object name based on record ID:

Id recordId = '001g000001jmmCA';
System.debug('Object Name: '+ recordId.getsobjecttype());

Hide Header and Sidebar in Salesforce

Sometimes we need to hide header and sidebar of a Visualforce page or Standard layout. So here are some ways to hide header and sidebar for Salesforce Visualforce page and Standard layout.

Generally in Visualforce Page we use sidebar="false" to hide sidebar. To hide header and chat widget we use header="false" and showChat="false" respectively.

  • Hide Header and Sidebar from Visualforce Page with specifying header="false" and sidebar="false".
<apex:page showHeader="false" sidebar="false">
</apex:page>
  • Hide Header and Sidebar from Visualforce Page or Standard Layout by adding isdtp parameter in the URL. The main purpose of isdtp can be used to hide Salesforce header and sidebar on Standard Pages.
    • vw – The Visualforce page will be rendered without header and sidebar, supports aloha theme, allows chatter.
    • lt – leaves off SF formatting, page header, sidebar, tabs and section header.
    • nv – The page will be rendered without the tabs and sidebar, and will accommodate all the buttons in a list view.
    • mn – Retains Old Salesforce Styling, hides page header(tabs) and sidebar.
PageReference pgref = new PageReference('/apex/pagename?recordId&isdtp=vw);
https://ap1.salesforce.com/001?fcf=00B90000008Ajal?isdtp=vw
  • Hide Sidebar from Standard layout.
    Go to – Setup || Customize || User Interface – checked the check box “Enable Collapsible Section”. After that you can show or hide sidebar in Standard layout.
