Yes, you can check if Person Account is enabled in Salesforce org via Salesforce Apex code. Use this:

boolean abc = Schema.sObjectType.Account.fields.getMap().containsKey( ‘isPersonAccount’ );
system.debug(‘@@@’+abc);

@ap-mishra Thanks for the document on "Salesforce to Salesforce Integration", very helpful. As mentioned in the doc, can you plan to write the blog on forcetalks and provide a link here so it will be easier for other community members to go through the information.

Found this regarding Salesforce Communities Pricing -

However, one way Salesforce bills for Communities is by the log-in. If you have a modest 200 “unique” partner log-ins per month, the list price for Salesforce Communities is $30,000 per year. As the number of log-ins increases, so does the price. If you have 5,000 log-ins per month, the price is $420,000 per year. If you have 20,000 log-ins per month, the price balloons to $1.5 million per year.

Which means:

if you have 200 unique partner login per month, it would cost $150 per user per year.

For 5000 unique logins per month, cost is $84 per user per year.

For 20,000 unique logins per month, cost is $75 per user per year.

This is what I received from Salesforce Support:

Before we designate an app as Lightning Ready we ask that partners review the documentation here: https://goo.gl/j3sfRf

When you have verified that your Salesforce app is Lightning Ready please follow the steps listed on Slide 6. In particular, please be sure to add the provided statement to this case and update your Salesforce AppExchange listing with screenshots of your app running in Lightning Experience.

Please also note that you need to have a listing on AppExchange for us to apply Lightning Ready flag. Once your app is live on AppExchange, please update this case and we can mark your app as lightning ready.

Thanks Bhavesh. Does this mean that one cannot see debug logs in Production Org even if the Debug Logs are enabled/Active?

It will also be great if you could post the solution you have here!

[Ashley]

Thanks Mohit. Does it mean list.Size() > 0 and list.IsEmpty() are same, and can be used interchangeably?

Responses I received from many other community members:

[Ratan Paul] LDS - Lightning Design System

[Nikhil Chowdhury] Both of them are equally good to use just the fact being that Lightning design system is more responsive and has pre-built classes to be used for compatibility on different devices.

[Ajinkya Hingne] Bootstrap anytime, but if we want to use one for Salesforce Visualforce pages, LDS should be used.

[Nandish Shenoy] From a dev perspective I would opt for Bootstrap since it has a much larger user base than SLDS. But from a user perspective would opt for SLDS since its supported by Salesforce. Also SLDS looks really cool.

[Yash Agarwa] SLDS is still in development for few features . So if you don't really need it, I would suggest holding on it for some time and using bootstrap.

[Bapu Rao Srigadde] I'm heavily using and developing lightning with SLDS. It is still evolving platform. For now you can use bootstrap but eventually you need to go back and update your implementation, when lightning is stabilized.

Thanks everyone for your participation. It really helps.

Yes, I don't think its possible to delete fields from managed package installed in your org. However if you own the package, you may be able to do it. Please refer following URL for more information - https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.packagingGuide.meta/packagingGuide/packaging_managed_component_deletion.htm

[Ashley]

This is well explained at the following link:

https://www.forcetalks.com/salesforce-topic/how-to-get-the-label-names-for-objects-field/

Hope this helps.

[Ashley]

@tim-lynchapplango-com Nice point. Yes, new package URL should do an upgrade. Whats the best practice - do we fist need to uninstall the app, then install through the URL or just upgrade the app without uninstall?

[Ashley]

And if you are specifically looking for Salesforce apps integrated with email clients such as Outlook, Office 365 or Gmail, do a search on appexchange, like below:

@piyushKumar Yes, as @Naman rightly said, you need to select Salesforce Email Integration App based on your requirements, as there are number of products available such as:

• ExactTarget - Salesforce bought exacttarget
• MailChimp - https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3000000B3byfEAB
• iHance (an app by insidesales.com) - https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N300000016YR4EAM

Thanks @mann-meet for the following links for Salesforce Instagram Integration:

https://zapier.com/zapbook/instagram/salesforce/
https://ifttt.com/connect/salesforce/instagram

As I mentioned, I am looking for custom integration, not through some 3rd party apps. Appreciate your help.

[Ashley]

@rajeshediga Nice question. I got curious as well, and found the following on http://www.dbms2.com/2011/09/15/database-architecture-salesforce-com-force-com-and-database/

salesforce.com’s data is stored in Oracle

Besides Oracle, salesforce uses at least a file system and a RAM-based data store.

Please share your findings as well.

@joe-dias just FYI, I got following response from a community member "Jennifer Davis Wobser":

"Create a default compact layout for every object that you use with 3-4 fields - these will show at the top of your records. Then your regular page layouts display in one column going down. I have preso slides showing how to do this if you need them!!!"

[Ashley]

Thanks @joe-dias
