[SalesForce] Validation on Field : JavaScript regex required for Field

Following is the requirement of field value should be – else it should generate an error

Format to be only 9 characters with 2 letters, followed by 6 numbers, followed by one letter

e.g. 'AB332211C'

Any else value should generate an error message using JavaScript.
Can anyone help me in creating regex expression for this.

Best Answer

Following Regular Expression worked for me -

/\b[A-z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-z]{1}$/;

Start - /

Handle spaces(TRIM) - \b

First 2 letters - [A-z]{2}

Followed by 6 Numbers - [0-9]{6}

End with 1 letter - [A-z]{1}$/

Hope this explanation will someone in future. Refere site : Learn Regular Expressions

[SalesForce] Using transient keyword to store password in hierarchy custom setting

Because your myPref property is transient the initialisation you perform in the constructor won't round trip when the page posts back.

When I've used transient and a protected custom setting I use separate properties that are transient and then only work with the custom setting in the post back method.

Controller

public with sharing class TestCustomSettings {

    // transient to ensure they are not transmitted as part of the view state
    public transient String password1 {get; set;}
    public transient String password2 {get; set;}

    public PageReference save() {
        // I've changed this to getInstance() rather than getValues()
        TestR__c myPref = TestR__c.getInstance(UserInfo.getOrganizationId());

        if(myPref == null) {
            myPref = new TestR__c();
            myPref.SetupOwnerId = Userinfo.getOrganizationId();
        }

        myPref.Password1__c = password1;
        myPref.Password2__c = password2;

        // Note that by using upsert you don't need to check if the Id has been set. 
        upsert myPref;

    }
}

Visualforce page

You can use inputSecret rather than inputField in the Visualforce page so that the browser will mask the input.

<apex:inputSecret value="{!password1}" size="10"/>
<apex:inputSecret value="{!password2}" size="10"/>

[SalesForce] Month validation in javascript

You need to use the LIVE Jquery Event to bind to the Change event on the Select List. Here is an example I mocked up. I've used Javascript to get the month (0-11, hence increment by 1)

 <apex:page controller="TestValidateController">
    //INCLUDE JQuery Resources

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var d = new Date();
    var n = d.getMonth() + 1;
    jQuery.noConflict();

//Use the Live event to bind to changes on the Select List
    jQuery(".exm").live('change',

    function ()
    {
    alert('changed ' +  jQuery(".exm option:selected").text());
    if(jQuery(".exm option:selected").text() < n)
    alert('Error');

    }
    );
    </script>

    <apex:form>
    <apex:selectlist value="{!ExpirationMonth}" size="1" styleclass="exm" > 
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!ExpireMonth}"/>
    </apex:selectlist>
    </apex:form>
    </apex:page>

Controller :

public with sharing class TestValidateController {
public integer expirationMonth {get;set;}
public SelectOption[] expireMonth {get; set;}

public TestValidateController(){
expireMonth  = new List<SelectOption>{};
for (integer inti : (new List<integer>{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}))
expireMonth.add(new SelectOption(inti+'', inti+''));

}
}
