I just installed the latest version of 3.3 from SVN. In compiling and deploying it, when I click on my profile, there is no edit option. Is something wrong here or is that something new?Thanks.JREdit: Seems to be based on this check that is new <#if profile.capabilities.isMutable> but not s

Do you have LDAP or similar in your authentication chain on the repo side? That is why if you do.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I do. I am authenticating with LDAP and using LDAP sync. I was assuming since there is a google username field that may be tied to editing docs with google but can't set it because of this. Was going to override and set it back to the way it worked in 3.2R2 as you could edit things there but wasn't sure if this was required as I couldn't find anything on how Google Docs works with Alfresco.

Thanks.

We are looking at solving the problem to allow non LDAP managed properties to be edited.

Or just go back to the old way of letting a person edit anything and live with the sync updating syncable properties.

By the way, perhaps I'm missing something, however how now does a user add an avatar image when using LDAP?

Thanks.

I'd give more details but not in a place where I can pull up code. I would suggest looking at my original post where I identify what changed, and then download say the 3.2 version of that profile code and change it. After all, you could always edit the profile before and sync would overwrite it if someone changed something they shouldn't have. Alfresco team decided to just turn it off entirely until they could figure something out so why not just reimplement the old check which just checks if the current user is the user that's profile is trying to edit and allows editing of the fields.

This has been fixed for 3.3SP1 - appropriately mapped LDAP (or whatever) external fields will now be individually greyed out in the UI. Other fields such as photo and bio etc. will be available for editing as normal. This applies to a users profile and admin user console pages.

Thanks,

Thanks Kev. Is this enterprise version? For the 3.3f/g version in head now, I'm thinking I can set the isMutable to true in the function that checks based on the logged in user. Is there a single function/method that checks the Mutability of editing a user's record?

Thanks.

JR

Re: Edit User

Yes it's in the Enterprise version first, it will be merged back to community. You can work-around the mutability check if you just want to be able to edit -all- fields - but you will need to the new code for individual property mutability.

Cheers,

Kevin,

Looks like the code made it into community. Can you verify and if so what version I should be downloading? Looks like from Mike that later builds are part of a potential 3.4 project and although they compile don't load.

Thanks.

I went to a pre 3.4 version and the edit user button shows but when clicked the screen area where the the viewable user attributes are listed goes blank. Do you have to define the editable fields somewhere so it knows which fields it should show and this is why it's not working?

Thanks.

Do you have any old customisations lying around or similar? Just tested the page here and it works fine.

Yes you need LDAP or similar in the authentication chain and the mapped properties will be picked up from that.

Thanks Kevin,

Which revision number are you testing against so I can pull the same from SVN to test. I will try before and after my customizations once I know what you are testing working.

Thanks.

K. I'm on rev 20574 and it seems to work in Firefox, but not in IE 8. Button does nothing. The button to Edit in IE 8 looks out of place also. Editing in Firefox seems to just allow editing of everything, not select items that aren't synced. Won't help much since where Share is used in an IE house. Did you try this on IE8 as for me it no work.

Thanks.

Re: Edit User

kevinr — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 09:59:53 GMT

Yes tried on IE8 and it works, the Edit button looks correct also (our QA department have also validated the fix). Can you try clearing your internet files cache for me just to be sure?

Cheers,

Kev

Re: Edit User

jriker1 — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 12:47:54 GMT

Well it kind of might work. Due to a number of bugs in the synchronization code, I was left with the last check and all subsequent ones having no data; pulled no records. So I can edit the profile and EVERYTHING in it, but everything is blank so not sure if there are issues if the data was still there or what. Have another thread on issues with going from 3.2 to 3.3/3.3g and clearing out the users and adding them back in but no one seems to know why. This is a bit different that it stopped pulling and cleared everything. Had it set to recheck every 5 minutes as part of testing also.

Thanks.

With the latest code untouched the edit user works as it is supposed to. I have the same code to add attributes in for a user that I have had for years. Seems when that's injected it doesn't display, however when I select the whole page and paste into notepad, the stuff is there including the submit button, it's just not visually there. Assuming a div problem somewhere with the update to the way the edit page is rendered. Do I need to do something to a particular page to add in my custom attributes to get it to show or something? I have it showing on the view page, but not the edit page.

Thanks.
