Chatter Feed¶

Note

The Chatter Feed component is only available when using a Salesforce data source type with Skuid on Salesforce.

The Chatter Feed component displays the Salesforce Chatter feed for the component’s chosen model. Feed content can be restricted to that associated with the record on the first row of the model, or can display a “news feed” for the current end user.

Warning

You can use the Chatter Feed component in a Skuid page that will be used with Lightning Experience, but be aware that After-Post Actions (a Skuid feature) are currently not supported in Salesforce Lightning.

Using the Chatter Feed Component¶

The Chatter Feed component requires a model on a Salesforce object that already has a Chatter feed associated with it.

Add the Chatter Feed¶

Drag and drop a Chatter Feed component onto the canvas, and make sure it’s set to the correct model.
Set the component’s properties.

Properties¶

(Just need to look up a property? Try going directly to the Property Library.)

Troubleshooting¶

Chatter Feed and Rich Text Field Incompatibilities in Visualforce [[]]¶

Using the Chatter Feed component in the same page as a Form with a rich text field is not supported when the Skuid page is published in Visualforce.

This is due to incompatibilities in the rich text editor plugin (CKEditor) used by each component when in the Visualforce runtime. Consider publishing in Lightning experience or separating these components into different pages if you must publish in Visualforce.

Issues with loading [[]]¶

The Chatter Feed component must be loaded during the initial page load process. If even a single record exists in the model, Skuid will load the associated posts into the feed. If no records exist in the model, the feed will not display on the page. Because of this requirement:

The Chatter Feed cannot be embedded into a popup or sliding panel.

Users cannot “refresh” the Chatter Feed when they select another record.

Multiple Chatter Feeds on a page [[]]¶

There can only be one Chatter Feed on a page. If you need additional Chatter Feeds, put each addition Chatter component in an iframe within a Template component.

Warning

Using iframes can result in unexpected behavior and is a strategy recommended for advanced Skuid builders only. See HTML, iframes, and Skuid for more information.

Using Chatter Feed with skuid:page deployment [[]]¶

If utilizing the skuid:page Visualforce component deployment method, ensure that the Skuid page’s Salesforce header properties in the Layout tab of Page Properties match the corresponding showHeader and showSidebar properties of the skuid:page component.
