displaying custom fields (profile) in a view

266 Views Asked by At

I have added some custom fields to the profiles in connections. Now I would like to create an overview (a view or list) and display the values.

How should I do this?

There is a comprehensive article on the Wiki http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Customizing_IBM_Connections_4.0_Profiles

"This article has provided an end-to-end scenario illustrating the new customization techniques in the IBM Connections 4.0 Profiles component. The reader was able to define new extension fields to associate with their users, so as to meet a typical business scenario, and provide a tailored presentation of the users in the social network to encourage use of the data."

it's for version 4.0, and should broadly apply to 5.0.

To continue the answer... you'll want to use the ext attributes in the search for profiles http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=API+Reference#action=openDocument&res_title=Searching_Profiles_programmatically_ic50&content=apicontent

and call GET /profiles/atom/search.do?FIELD_EXTATTR_SCHOOL=Westford where school is your new attribute name
