Show all contacts from Child Accounts in parents account.

Hi All,

I am writing this post because 2-3 clients came up with this same requirement, to show all the contacts of child Accounts in their parent Account.

I am explaining this requirement in detail with an example:-
Suppose there is Account "A" who is parent of Account "B".
now account "B" has 2 contacts "B1" and "B2".
client want to see this "B1" & "B2" contacts in parent account "A", so that he can easily know which contact associated with which account on same page easily.
And this is not only limited to 2 level it is goes to up to 100 level (we can't Query more then 100 in one context because of Governor limit).

I solved this problem by creating a VF page and add it to Detail page of Account, So now user can able to see all the contacts associated with the Account and their child Accounts in a same page.

Here the code:-

Send Email using Apex and vf page by using email templates.

Hi friends,

Previously in this post I showed you how we can send emails using Messaging class, but many times we need to send email using email templates in apex code.

So in this post I am using email templates to an send email from apex code:

I am using 2 vf pages and 2 controller in this example:-

• SendEmailByTemplateVFPage - This is the page from where we are sending Email from template.
• ClsSendEmailByTemplate - This is controller class of "SendEmailByTemplateVFPage".
•  SelectTemplate - This is another vf page which is calling from "SendEmailByTemplateVFPage", in this page we are querying all the Email Templates.
• ClsSelectTemplate - This is controller class of "SelectTemplate".

Here the code:-

PageBlockSections with different colors at each section.

Hi friends,

Few days ago, one of my client come up with this requirement,

He wants to see all sections on the detail page in different color so that he can easily differentiate (or group) fields of the custom object according to color code like red section fields blue section fields,

Generally each section on the detail page has the same color as their tab,

so for this requirement i have created a vf page and put that page in the detail page layout,

I am using FieldSet here so that we can easily add and remove fields from vf page later without touching code of vf page.

Note:-
Before using this code must create FieldSet, for creating FieldSet go to your custom object and select new FieldSet.(for more detail see this link).

Here i am using three FieldSets name as

1. FieldSet1
2. FieldSet2
3. FieldSet3

Here the code of that vf page:-
