Needs some tweaks

This App and its supporting documentation seem to be a little bit out of date, though after some poking and prodding I was able to get things in a working state. My 'Idea List' URL settings are as below: Idea Detail Path > idea/ Idea Post Path > /s/post-idea **NB I found that I needed to grant 'Read / Edit' to the 'Attachment File' Field via FLS on the Idea Object (even for my System Administrator) This unblocked me from the issue with not being able to 'Post' an Idea. Hopefully this helps anyone else encountering the same issues I was!

voting component is working only for down vote not for up vote

We have an issue that the voting component is working only for down vote not for up vote. Can we please get support to fix this?

Simple but effective

I read the comments and followed the directions exactly including spelling and case of the pages and everything works. This is something to get us started with an opportunity to expand on the functionality

Poor documentation, buggy components, but has potential

After ignoring all the previous reviews, I decided to give it a try. I tried to follow the instructions and after filling in the gaps I got it set up. My issue now is that after ensuring all relevant profiles had the correct permissions, I still receive an "Invalid Page" error when trying to post an idea. Its a shame really, as this would have been pretty much perfect for our company.

Hi Danie, Did you fix this?

Not working

Installed it as per the Installation guide, but it gives page not found after the Idea is posted. Also, are we allowed to create and display more custom fields?

Potential but buggy

This app does what it says it does, but I experienced all the same issues as the previous reviews. Also, as we have a lot of custom fields in Ideas, the app doesn't work for us as these do not show.

This app doesnt seem to work.

1. We installed the app 2. Setup sys admin and community profile, to have edit access to all fields on the idea object. 3. setup all community pages as in the installation guide. Errors 1. Post idea page: I can create an idea and save it, but the RICH TEXT description field is visible but not editable. idea gets saved but is not visible on the idea list page 2. Posting comment on idea. this text area field is not working, I cannot type into that field but i can click save and save a blank comment to an idea that was recently created. Once i move away from the screen, the idea is not searchable in the idea list page.

Not working

The components are throwing error messages and the components are unable to retrieve any Zones (even when the Zones have been configured to show in Community) On Detail and Post components This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Error in $A.getCallback() [CKEDITOR is not defined] Failing descriptor: {ui:inputRichText} On List This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Error in $A.getCallback() [Cannot read property 'Id' of undefined] Callback failed: apex://myideas.CommunityIdeaController/ACTION$getCurrentCommunityZones Failing descriptor: {myideas:CommunityIdeaList}

Good workaround for using Ideas in Lightning, just unable to comment on ideas.

Since Ideas aren't available for internal users in lightning, I created an internal community and used this component so that Users can submit and vote on ideas. It took awhile, and the setup instructions aren't great, but I eventually got it to work. The only issue that I have right now, is that when you comment on an idea it creates the comment record but it doesn't actually save the text.

Done not work

Unable to complete the final step. Add Ideas to Navigation Menu. Something wrong with the URL. ERROR MESSAGE: The URL for Ideas requires one or more parameters. Please replace each parameter with the appropriate value. Does not recognize the URL of the Idea Detail page.
