User Profile

by Sean Radford-3 :: Rate this Message:

Hi,

It looks like we will have a requirement to 'expand' on the information
stored about Users. Basically 'User Profile' type information. It would
contain such details as:

- Title, Mr, Mrs, Miss, Dr, etc..
- Quick Bio
- Image (avatar / uploaded picture)
- 'What I'm working on'
- Instant Messenger details
- Company Position
- Contact details, e.g. address, land-line phone number(s), mobile phone
number

Would this be of use to Nuxeo / the community as a plugin?

Is someone out there working on similar that we could collaborate with?

Any opinions on the most appropriate way to store this information

- As an extension to the current User type using the Directory system?
- As a UserProfile document type?
- As an EJB Entity?
- something else?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi,
maybe it is a bit overkill for what you want to do and doesn't answer  
to you question about the target backend, but I think that opensocial  
proposes an API for acessing to  such profile information. I think  
that hat Arnaud has commited here  http://hg.nuxeo.org/opensocial 
deals more with the widget side of Opensocial, but maybe he also had a  
look at the API they propose ?

The simplest way would be to use directories, yes, and register your  
extended type with the UserManager.

Except directories currently only support INTEGER, VARCHAR & TIMESTAMP
sql types don't they? And then there is LDAP, etc..

That's true at the moment, although you could easily extend  
SQLSession.setFieldValue/getFieldValue or  
LDAPSession.getAttributeValue/getFieldValue to take into account new  
types.
We'd be happy to add such code to Nuxeo if you have a patch.
