Identify Salesforce User Experience Theme in Visualforce Page

Biswajeet   October 8, 2018   No Comments on Identify Salesforce User Experience Theme in Visualforce Page

We can use User.UITheme and User.UIThemeDisplayed in Visualforce Page to determine User Experience Theme.

User.UITheme : Returns the theme that is supposed to be used.
User.UIThemeDisplayed : Returns the theme that is actually being used.

User.UITheme and User.UIThemeDisplayed will return following values.

  • Theme1—Obsolete Salesforce theme
  • Theme2—Salesforce Classic 2005 user interface theme
  • Theme3—Salesforce Classic 2010 user interface theme
  • Theme4d—Modern “Lightning Experience” Salesforce theme
  • Theme4t—Salesforce mobile app theme
  • Theme4u—Lightning Console theme
  • PortalDefault—Salesforce Customer Portal theme
  • Webstore—Salesforce AppExchange theme

Sample Code:

<apex:page>
    <apex:pageBlock title="Theme">
        {!$User.UITheme}
        {!$User.UIThemeDisplayed}
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

Visualforce Page Render As Advanced PDF

Biswajeet   October 1, 2018   No Comments on Visualforce Page Render As Advanced PDF
  • Advanced PDF renders Visualforce pages as PDF files with broader support for modern HTML standards, such as CSS3, JavaScript, and HTML5.
  • To use Advanced PDF, set renderAs="advanced_pdf" in the apex:page tag of a Visualforce page with API version 40.0 or later.
  • Advanced PDF supports in both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic.
  • It is similar to the existing process for rendering a Visualforce page as a standard PDF file.

Example:

<apex:page readOnly="true"
           standardController="Account"    
           applyHtmlTag="false"     
           sidebar="false"     
           showHeader="false"     
           cache="true"     
           renderAs="advanced_pdf"
           docType="html-5.0">
    <head>    
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />    
        <style type="text/css">
            @page {
            size: A4 landscape;    
            border: 1px solid black;    
            padding-left: 5px;    
            padding-right: 5px;      
            }
            th {  
            font-weight: bold;
            text-align: center;
            background-color: #92d5f0;
            color: black;
            padding: 8px;
            }
            td {    
            font-size: 15px;
            text-align: left;
            padding: 8px;
            }
            table{
            border-collapse: collapse;
            }
            table, th, td {
            border: 1px solid black;
            }
        </style>    
    </head>    
    <center>    
        <h3>{!Account.Name}</h3>    
    </center>    
    <table width="100%">    
        <tr>
            <th>Name</th>    
            <th>Phone</th>
            <th>Email</th> 
        </tr>    
        <apex:repeat value="{!Account.Contacts}" var="con">    
            <tr>                
                <td>{!con.Name}</td>    
                <td>{!con.Phone}</td>
                <td>{!con.Email}</td>    
            </tr>    
        </apex:repeat>    
    </table>    
</apex:page>
