window.onload = function() {

// Change the whole window to point to this location
// we’ll only get down here for people in the Call Center Sales profile
parent.document.location.href = “/701?fcf=00BF0000006c06w”;
}

Please Wait ….. Loading Campaign Tab

For the view to display, I’m trying to get a view for one profile but the standard tab for all others. Here’s my relevant section of code:

var cView;
switch ( “{!$Profile.Name}” ) {
case “Call Center Sales”: cView = “/701?fcf=00BF0000006c06w” ; break ;
default: cView = “/701/o”; break;
}

Problem is that when it tries to direct a user to the “/701/o” url, the override kicks in and it gets stuck in an endless loop.

I’ve also tried this, but same issue:
cView = “/701/o?sfdc.override=0″

Any ideas?

thanks much,

I think you’re probably correct on this. It’s been a couple of years since I wrote that, plus the original idea went back even further. The main problem is that overriding a tab requires a VF page, and I believe each tab would require it’s own VF page. The tab highlighting shouldn’t be affected though because of the tabStyle=”Contact” attribute in the apex:Page tag. Haven’t tested it to be sure. In the blog post example, you could try adding standardController=”Contact” to see if that adds the tab highlighting back.

thanks for this great post, but I wonder if there is a better way to do it now. The solution is great but we lose the tab highlighting and also it is overhead to create a new VF page for a lot of tabs just to redirect them to the custom list view.

Thanks in advance

I’ve butchered the above code enough.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help
