Getting started with Egnyte API

Now the first part is getting the token !
so I wrote a short code on the custom button to get the code and then redirect it to a page which calls a page and its controller which saves it in custom settings.

Here is the diagram explaining the same !!

You can read about it here <Token Page>

Custom Button

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/connection.js")} 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/24.0/apex.js")} 

var qResult = sforce.connection.query("Select Name, Token__c from eToken__c ");
records = qResult.getArray("records");
if(records == ''){
var idofQuote ='{!Quotes__c.Id}';
window.location.href='https://<ur domain>.egnyte.com/puboauth/token?client_id=<ur api KEY>&redirect_uri=<complete url of ur vf page>?id='+idofQuote+'&mobile=0';
}

The Page

    
Redirecting............  
  
       
      
          
      
  
  
  
  

The part of the controller

public string authToken {get;set;}
public pagereference basicAuthCallout(){
        id quoId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id');
        
        string token2 ; 
        
        
            // Get the URL for the current request.
            url currentRequestURL = URL.getCurrentRequestUrl();
            system.debug('>>>>>>>>>>authToken>>>>>>>>>>>>>'+authToken);
     if(authToken!= null){  
             String extract = authToken ;
            list newstring2 = new list();
            list newstring;
            if(extract !=null){
                newstring = new list(extract.split('#access_token='));
                
            system.debug('*******newstring******'+newstring);}
            
            for(String a : newstring){
                if(a.contains('&token_type')){
                    newstring2 = a.split('&token_type');
                }
            }
            if(newstring2 !=null && newstring2.size() > 0){
                string theToken = newstring2[0];
                system.debug('theToken'+theToken);
                token2 = theToken;
            }
            
    }
            eToken__c customToken = new eToken__c();
            customToken.name = UserInfo.getUserEmail();
            customToken.Token__c = token2;
            if(([Select Name, Token__c from eToken__c]).isEmpty()){
            	upsert customToken ;
            }	
            PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('/'+ quoId); 
            return pageRef;
            }
  

All about the egnyte Integration

Well I had a client requirement in which they wanted the Egnyte API to be integrated with salesforce.The first one was to make the egnyte page appear on the Quote.This was achived by this guide.The egnyte salesforce integration guide Installion guide

And the result was this !!

Things to remember

1. Egnyte after integration puts everything of the folder under shared/salesforce.com/<name of the object>/<Name of the record>
2. If u need to test Egnyte for different users then you need to use that users's SF username and password as well as Egnyte username and password(sorry dude! logging in as different user dsnt work for Egnyte integration)
3. You need to add the salesforce userid to Egnyte to access it through egnyte !

Now I will be explaining the actual code in different posts so stay tuned.!!!!
