Box UI Elements in Salesforce community

Just wondering if anyone managed to get Box UI Elements (Content Explorer and Content Uploader) working in a community.

Below is a snippet of a Visualforce page:

<apex:page standardController="Registration__c" extensions="Registration_Box_Ext" standardStylesheets="false">

<apex:includeScript value="{! $Resource.polyfill }" />

<apex:stylesheet value="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/10.1.0/en-US/explorer.css" />

<apex:includeScript value="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/10.1.0/en-US/explorer.js" />

var contentExplorer = new Box.ContentExplorer();

var accessToken = "{!accesstoken}";

console.log('Access Token: ' + accessToken);

var folderid = "{!Registration__c.BoxFolderId__c }";

console.log('Folder ID: ' + folderid);

contentExplorer.show(folderid, accessToken, {

container: ".container"

});

</script>

apex:page>

Extension:

public with sharing class Registration_Box_Ext {

private final Registration__c rego;

public Registration_Box_Ext(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {

this.rego = (Registration__c)stdController.getRecord();

}

public String getAccessToken() {

String enterpriseId = '';

String publicKeyId = '';

String privateKey = '';

String clientId = '';

String clientSecret = '';

BoxJwtEncryptionPreferences preferences = new BoxJwtEncryptionPreferences();

preferences.setPublicKeyId(publicKeyId);

preferences.setPrivateKey(privateKey);

BoxPlatformApiConnection api = BoxPlatformApiConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(enterpriseId, clientId, clientSecret, preferences);

return api.accessToken;

}

Hi ,

What types of issues / errors are you seeing when you're trying to integrate?

Thanks for your response.

I found out that the error is a permission error. I create the folder using the Salesforce service account, but then I am using a JWT app user to generate the token and passing this to the UI Element Javascript.

I'm not sure where to go from here. The idea is that I need to allow non Box users to see and upload to a certain sub folder of a Salesforce record folder. Hence the use of the UI Element library.

I'm guessing one solution could be to add the Custom App user to the folder, but I don't know how to know what that folder is.

Or is it possible to someone use the Custom App to create a token for the Salesforce service account user?
