Salesforce Entity & Entity API-based modules: various incompatibilities (hook_menu, etc.)

This doesn't happen when you have the Entity API module disabled, right? If you haven't tested that, can you?

I am moving this down to "major" priority, since I believe this is actually probably an upstream bug with Entity API or a module that uses the Entity API. That being said, brianV & I encountered it also, when we were testing Salesforce Entity + Profile2 (which requires Entity API). Thus, we will try to get it fixed shortly, since we will need to do so also.

Thanks. Yes, I think this is something with Entity API module itself. Are you also using Profile2?

Don't close it yet. I think there are conflicts that will need to be resolved.

Entity API is a module that is very much in flux. I will have to check carefully to make sure this module is and remains compatible.

I think perhaps the issue is coming in here, in the hook_menu implementation:

    $stub = entity_create_stub_entity($entity, $fake_ids);
    // Don't create a local task for entities with no uri callback - cf. #1042676: Undefined Index URI callback in sf_entity.
    if (empty($info['uri callback'])) {
      continue;
    }
    else {
      $uri_callback = $info['uri callback'];
      $uri = $uri_callback($stub);
    }

Creating a stub entity and then calling the uri callback on the stub entity is not sufficient for Entity API entities, I believe. I will keep looking into this.

First things first: with my testing of the latest dev of Entity API, I was unable to reproduce the original error.

That being said, when I had Profile2 enabled, I did get a similar error - undefined variable stdClass::type().

I just committed a fix that should at least allow the sf_entity module to be enabled when Profile2 or other Entity API-based modules are enabled. It doesn't try to call the uri callback function for the Entity API-based entities, by checking to see whether they use the EntityAPIController.

This is just a temporary workaround though. I would like an actual solution, that would enable the local task to get added for Entity API-based entities for which it is appropriate. There are 2 problems though: 1) the stub entity is not sufficient to handle the relevant callbacks, 2) there are many different places in the Drupal menu system where the callbacks could place a uri, some of which wouldn't make sense for attaching a local task.

It would be difficult to come up with a generalized solution, but I don't want to do things on a case by case basis, either, except possibly for some very popular modules.

I am going to post in the Entity API & Profile2 issue queues to see if they can shed some light on what I want to do. It's not really a bug with their modules, just something that they didn't account for.

Also, I still have the following errors with Profile2 enabled:

• Warning: Missing argument 2 for sf_entity_salesforce_form_access() in sf_entity_salesforce_form_access()
• Notice: Undefined variable: entity in sf_entity_salesforce_form_access()
• Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in entity_extract_ids()

I am not 100% sure whether these are issues with Entity API generally, or just with Profile2 entities. For now, I am broadening this ticket to cover them.

I filed this issue #1280770: How do I retrieve the URI for a stub entity? to see if any Entity API folks can suggest a solution or a better approach.

Seems like any further fix is postponed on #1280770: How do I retrieve the URI for a stub entity? for now.

I'm getting this message I now I cant even access to my dashboard and how can I fixed1... please help!:

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /home1/allabpc2/public_html/testingusers/sites/all/modules/calendar/includes/calendar_plugin_row_node.inc on line 291

mmoralessc: that error issue is unrelated.
also please only press the submit button once.

Based on #1280770: How do I retrieve the URI for a stub entity? it looks like the problem is with entity_create_stub_entity, the solution is to use entity_create()

Hello, im getting the same errors with profile 2.
Warning: Missing argument 2 for sf_entity_salesforce_form_access() in sf_entity_salesforce_form_access

Is there any patch for it? Do you know the reason why it happens?

Thanks a lot

@nicodv I think you want this issue #1559820: Warning: Missing argument 2 for sf_entity_salesforce_form_access() in sf_entity_salesforce_form_access() I'll have a fix shortly for that one.

Yes, thank you very much. Issue fixed.

Now i'm running all types of disgraces when enabling the entity form module:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::uri() in /home/theveryl/public_html/kings/sites/all/modules/entity/entity.module on line 945

Any idea?

thanks again

What version of Entity API?

Hi, 7.x-1.0-rc2.

Something else, I'm not getting it completely with Salesforce suite. Are there any tutorials I can learn more from? I see things like, if I delete a record in sf, it doesnt delete them in drupal, or I must make manual imports all the time or the IMPORT UPDATES button doesn't work...

Also, I'm getting this error all the time, I've googled it a zillion times, but maybe you can point me in the right direction with it: stdClass Object ( [created] => [errors] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [fields] => Array ( [0] => Name ) [message] => Account: bad field names on insert/update call: Name [statusCode] => INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE ) ) [id] => [success] => )

Any help will be really welcome.

Thanks for helping

Here's a patch to make sf_entity work with the latest version of EntityAPI, at least in regards to the issues in sf_entity_menu(). I think a slight more efficient refactor could also be made, but I didn't want to make too many changes in this go around.

Thanks, I'll give it a try, for the moment I learned a lot of "must-not-do's" and everything looks like working.

Thanks a lot for the help

Thank you, patch from #25 committed to 7.x-2.x. http://drupalcode.org/project/salesforce.git/commit/7166172

Sorry for reopening but this doesn't fix the issue. I'm using the current dev in combination with the recruiter install profile. I need to disable entity_api to access the admin pages :(

Might it be an incompatibility with Recruiter?

Just wanted to edit this issue again. I disabled entity api and the path was accesible, i needed to apply #1651588: Not all entities have bundle keys even though i don't think it's related to these one. it works now :/ no idea why...
