Installed but need the ability to dynamically set the Shared Folder Id based on the record text fiel

Installed but need the ability to dynamically set the Shared Folder Id based on the record text field.

This is super important - I won't be installing it for my customers until this is addressed.

Component appearing as a blank box

I just installed the app in my Spring '18 org. The components are showing as blank in my community. Am I alone in having this problem. What am I doing wrong?

I got this to work. I needed to only include the share ID and not the entire shared link. It seems to work pretty well. The problem I see is once users login to Box that they need to refresh their browser screen to see the Box contents. Is there a way around that problem?

Could be much more powerful

Having to manually assign a single folder or document in the community builder is not going to help us accomplish what we're looking for. We have unique box folders for each of our records, we'd love to store the share link ID on the record in a text field, and have the component find that text string and display that folder. A component that powerful is worth paying for!

Hi John, thanks for mentioning this feature of dynamically setting shared link ID. I actually face the same kind of situation where I'd like to automatically set the shared link ID for each record instead of manually copying and pasting link IDs for a great number of records. Did Box ever get back to you on this feature or did you find some other workarounds for this? Thanks!

Hi Angelo, We have already submitted a fix for this but it has been waiting in review by SFDC Security. It should be updated soon.

instead of setting a folder/file share ID, can we leave that blank and have the component show the box home screen? (https://app.box.com/files)

Hi Robert - Yes, it has been resolved. The current version (1.0.2) fixed the issue with component visibility introduced with the Summer 16 release and also has app builder support. All customers who were on previous versions were upgraded and the version that is installed from the appexchange is 1.0.2.

Limited Value

Note: This package does not include Lightning Components that are usable for App Builder or other internal usages. The components are only usable with the Community builder. We were hoping this would be the lightning component updates to the existing visual force pages for internal users. The visual force page do continue to work, but have some odd styling/side effect in Lightning. As this is targeted at community uses you must set the folder or file to be utilized and we have not figured out how to set them dynamically.

Will there be a way to dynamically set the shared link id? Can I store shared link IDs on my records as a text field, and have this component use that field?

Hi John. Thank you for your comments. We know that App Builder is critical to our customers and have been working on this since it became available to us to add to the package. Unfortunately we are hung up with an issue in our patch org to be able to release it. As soon as that is unblocked, we will release it and I will post here to let you know.
