Package: collective.salesforce.content
Introductioncollective.salesforce.contentprovides a Dexterity behavior for setting up
Plone Dexterity content types that are connected to objects in a Salesforce.com
database. Arbitrary schema fields can be mapped and updated periodically based on
automatic queries to Salesforce.This is currently an integrator-level package with minimal UI. As consultants,
we have used this functionality as a foundation for solving use cases like:Expose a member directory on a public Plone website based on Account or Contact
records pulled from Salesforce.com each night.Provide browseable and searchable tables of arbitrary data whose
canonical storage is in Salesforce.com.In conjunction withdexterity.membrane, allow users represented in
Salesforce.com to log in to a Plone site, with appropriate roles based on their
status in Salesforce.com.Pull pricing records from Salesforce as a basis for charging the correct amount
in online transactions on the Plone website.DocumentationRead the documentation.Issue TrackerSubmit issues.Creditscollective.salesforce.contentwas created by the web team atGroundwire,
