Adding colums to the default user schema

a_c — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 23:31:54 GMT

Hello community, I'm trying to add more fields to the user creation form. I've been following the tutorial at https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/how-to-add-new-fields-to-the-user-profile-or-group-profile/ Where it shows how to override the default user schema. I followed suit and added my custom user schema as well as the references contribution as shown. I also modified the edit user layout to add my custom fields (they are simple nuxeo-inputs with the new user fields as values).

However whenever I create or edit an user, those fields are never persisted; looking at the database those fields/columns are also missing. I checked the server logs as well and found that the schema manager actually marks my custom schema as registered.

Is there another configuration that s missing? I'd appreciate any help

Hello

Here is what has to be done to update the user profile.

Studio side

use the XSD file (for example my_custom_user.xsd) from the user schema (see documentation above) as a basis and keep the namespace, etc.
add the fields you want
head over to CONFIGURATION / Resources / Schemas
import the XSD file
go to CONFIGURATION / Advanced Settings / XML Extensions
add the following configuration:

<extension point="schema" target="org.nuxeo.ecm.core.schema.TypeService">
  <!-- override default user schema -->
  <schema name="user" override="true" src="data/schemas/my_custom_user.xsd"/>
</extension>

to double-check those steps were effective, you can go check into your database that the fields are indeed present in the users table after synching your project server-side and restarting Nuxeo.

Web UI side

After checking the code, you will need to:

override the nuxeo-edit-user.html element by writing a custom element:
/> https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-ui-elements/blob/maintenance-2.4.x/nuxeo-user-group-management/nuxeo-edit-user.html
/> adding the field(s) you just added to the schema
override the nuxeo-create-user element
/> https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-ui-elements/blob/maintenance-2.4.x/nuxeo-user-group-management/nuxeo-create-user.html
/> so that it uses the custom element based on nuxeo-edit-user
override the nuxeo-user-group-management element
/> https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-ui-elements/blob/maintenance-2.4.x/nuxeo-user-group-management.html
/> so that it uses the custom element based on nuxeo-create-user
override the nuxeo-user-group-management-page
/> https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-web-ui/blob/10.10/elements/nuxeo-admin/nuxeo-user-group-management-page.html
/> so that it uses the custom element based on nuxeo-user-group-management
then you will be able to override the ADMINISTRATION_PAGES slot in nuxeo--custom-bundle.html
/> so that it uses your overriden version of the nuxeo-user-group-management-page element.
/> (in Studio you can find it in Designer / RESOURCES / UI)
/> For reference the original slot definition is defined here:
/> https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-web-ui/blob/10.10/elements/nuxeo-web-ui-bundle.html#L27
