Prerequisites

Prerequisites
  • Chatter must be enabled on the CTA at either the Account or Customer level.  To verify this, navigate to Administration > Workflow > Calls to Action.
  • You will also need the necessary SFDC permissions to create a new VisualForce page and a new C360 section

New VisualForce Page

New VisualForce Page

Use the following code when making the VisualForce page:

<apex:page showHeader="false" sideBar="false" >
 <style> body{padding: 15px;} </style>
 <chatter:feed entityId="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.cid}"/>
</apex:page>

 

Preview Page

Preview Page

After you've saved the VisualForce page, click the Preview button.  A new page will display in a separate window.  Copy the URL that's in the window.

In this example, the URL I have is https://c.na16.visual.force.com/apex/CS360_Chatter

Add C360 Section

Navigate to Administration > C360 Layouts > [click edit on the relevant layout] > drag and drop the Section/Embed Page option on the left over to the right.
