Hello,

Try this :

Creation of webscript : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples

Samples of search, modify : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API_Cookbook

To search, use :

// execute a lucene search across the repo for the text 'alfresco'
   var docs = search.luceneSearch("TEXT:alfresco");‍‍

And change the "Text:alfresco" by :
Search the creator of the document : http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=24638#p80329 (perhaps use the modifier)

Good luck

Hi itsjjonnet ,

You can try out by searching for user as per user name in a web script as below:

var repUser =search.query({query: "cm:name:"+usrName+""});
or
var tempUser = search.luceneSearch("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}name" , usrName);

To set a property, you can try out as below:


var user =  people.getPerson(usrName);
if(user == null)
{
   logger.log("User is null while setting location : "+usrName);
}else{
   var userLoc = user.properties["cm:location"];
   logger.log("Current User Location : "+userLoc);
   if(userLoc == null || userLoc == ''){
           user.properties["cm:location"] = "Some Location String";
           user.save();
    }      
}   
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It will set location for a particular user.Same way you can try out.

Hi All,

I have implemented a java backed web script which will update the user profile properties in Alfresco as per in sync with Liferay.It invokes a Liferay Web service & get list of users from Liferay to update these users profile in Alfresco repository.It updates following properties:

ContentModel.PROP_ORGANIZATION
ContentModel.PROP_JOBTITLE
ContentModel.PROP_LOCATION


package com.xxxx.km.alfresco.user.profile;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;

/**

 * Web Script to set user profile details got from Liferay.
 * It gets list of users from Lliferay with their profile details.
 * Once got, it will check for each of such user for any updated profile details.
 * If any updation is found, it will update the same in Alfresco repository.
 * It will update following User Profile fields in Alfresco:
 * Location, User Organization or department & User Job Title or designation.
 * Folloiwng fields are updated by LDAP so can not be changed in Alfresco:
 * User Login or Screen Name, Email Id, First Name, Last Name, & Company Id.

    * It invokes LiferayWebServiceInvoker class to get List of users who have logged in since last 7 days.
    * Once got, it checks if the users in this list exists in ALfresco Repository.If yes, it gets each such user properties 
    * in userPropertyMap & iterate over this map to get userName for that particular user.After that , it matches user in list with
    * that of Alfresco repository.If matched, it will get User's Organization, Designation & Location and compare it with LiferayUserBeanVO.
    * If it is same, it will escape that property else it will set the updated property value in userPropertyMap and update 
    * the userPropertyMap for that user in Alfresco repository usinig NodeService.At the end, it will show if there are any users 
    * which do not exist in repository among list of users got from Liferay.
