Support adding a Conga Receipts button on the Check Out page #76

From Carolina Tiger Rescue:

  1. There was no way to add a custom Conga receipt button to the Check-out page, although I know others have used Conga to mail receipts after the auction. Groundwire is aware of this issue and we plan to work with them on this.

It does look like one can create a button URL to a conga report, feeding it the Salesforce ReportID to use, and adding additional filter parameters from the report. So it might looks something like:

https://www.appextremes.com/apps/Conga/PointMerge.aspx?sessionId={!API.Session_ID}&Id={!AuctionId}&ReportId=xxx15xxxx?pv0={!apo.contact.Id}~pv1=.....

I need to reinstall Conga to try this out.

New custom setting, Check Out Receipts URL Formula, supports same parameters as the credit card URL formulas.

Unfortunately, I was never able to get this working. Conga requires the SessionID of the "front-end" server, but my Visualforce page only has access to the SessionID of the visualforce page, which won't work with Conga. All attempts at workarounds described by Conga failed to work. Conga recommends using Conga queries in this scenario, rather than Salesforce reports, but I am not willing to go down that path since it will be a useability issue.
