GROUP_EVERYONE

slothrop — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:08:51 GMT

I would like to use the following code to iterate through the users in Javascript in Alfresco v2.1. var peeps = people.getMembers(people.getGroup("GROUP_EVERYONE"));‍However, people.getGroup("GROUP_EVERYONE") doesn't seem to return anything. I have tried several variations on the capitalization. I

Hi,

GROUP_EVERYONE is special type of Authority. You won't find this in the web client group management when you try to list all available groups . There is a sample webscript called getUsers to search for users.


getUsers.get.js

var query = "TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}person\"";

if ((args.s) && (args.s != ""))
{
   query += " AND (";
   var terms = args.s.split(" ");
   for (i = 0; i < terms.length; i++)
   {
      term = terms[i];
      query += "((@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}firstName:*" + term;
      query += "*) OR (@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}lastName:*" + term;
      query += "*) OR (@\\{http\\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\\}userName:" + term;
      query += "*)) ";   // final space here is important as default OR separator
   }
   query += ")";
}

model.searchResults = search.luceneSearch(query);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

For your purpose to get all users you could just do a lucene search for all nodes of type Person and manipulate the result as you like.


var query = "TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}person\"";
model.searchResults = search.luceneSearch(query);

Thanks Shagul,
Using the code you recommended I was able to get an array of all people objects. From these objects I wanted to get the home folder of each user and if the user had a certain home folder, assign them to a certain permission group. Unfortunately,

var h = peeps[i].properties["cm:homeFolder"];‍

returned a noderef fo type cm:folder which had no cm:name property. The following,

var h = search.findNode(peeps[i].properties["cm:homeFolder"]);‍

returned a ScriptNode which had a cm:name property but for every user the cm:name of the home folder thus returned was "Projects Search" which is not the home folder of any of the users and as far as I can tell does not exist on my system.

So I wonder, is this approach worth pursuing or should I give up and try something else? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

My users can be divided into 3 types: those with their own home folder under User Homes, those with their own home folder in a subfolder under User Homes and those who don't have their own home folder but have a collective home folder under User Homes. But the node returned by

var h = search.findNode(peeps[i].properties["cm:homeFolder"]);‍

is identical in all cases.

What gives?

Hi,

I have looked your post. I use the same search function. I am not familiar with FreeMarker. Here is my code:
JSP:


var query = "TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}person\"";
model.searchResults = search.luceneSearch(query);

if (model.searchResults== undefined)
{
      status.code = 404;
   status.message = "No persons.";
   status.redirect = true;
 }

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

FreeMarker:


…
<#list model.searchResults as result>
  ${result}<br>
</#list>
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I also tried ${result.properties.username}<br>.
I get a 500 and not so not a 440. Error I have:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.TemplateException - Error during processing of the template 'Expression model is undefined on line 28, column 8 in org/alfresco/my/folders.get.html.ftl.'. Please contact your system administrator.‍

So what's wrong with my loop?

Thanks very much.

Try this:

<#list searchResults as result>
  ${result.name}<br>
</#list>

No difference. Here is the traceback (which is the same):

Your Freemarker script is probably cached if you've removed all "model." references, redeployed. and are still getting the same error.

Try going to /service/index and refresh webscripts.

Your answer is right here. You have "model.searchResults" in your .html.ftl. You just need "searchResults".

Great , it works. I think the catch was not updated.

And for those also having the same problem:
Not ${result.name} but ${result.properties.userName}
