Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Michael Reeves <>]

Thanks everyone,

I was able to change the displays for the add member lists.  In regards to Chris's question about telling the description to use the virtual attribute I was not able to make this work.

Thanks

Just curious, can you set the description to use that virtual attribute?  What would be the downside of that?  Then it could be used for WS or wherever else

Thanks,
Chris

Mike,

Here is what I did for that exact change:

1. In sources.xml, create a virtual attribute:

     <init-param>
       <param-name>subjectVirtualAttribute_0_osuFriendlyDisplay</param-name>
       <param-value>${subject.getAttributeValue('cn')} (${subject.getAttributeValue('uid')})</param-value>
     </init-param>


2. In the UI's conf/grouper-ui.properties:

# this configures the default display in the Admin UI
# Use our virtual attribute instead of "description"
subject.display.default=osuFriendlyDisplay

# this configures how subjects look in the UI v2.2.  This is the short
version of the subject
grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.0 = jdbc
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.0 = ${subject.name}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.1 = g:gsa
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.1 = ${subject.getAttributeValue('displayExtension')}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.2 = g:rsa
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.2 = ${subject.getAttributeValue('displayExtension')}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.3 = grouperEntities
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.3 = ${subject.getAttributeValue('displayExtension')}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.4 = ldap
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.4 = ${subject.getAttributeValue('osuFriendlyDisplay')}

# this configures how subjects look in the lite UI.  This is the short version of the display
# images (must be in assets/images dir) for subject source id
grouperUi.subjectImg.sourceId.0 = ldap
grouperUi.subjectImg.image.0 = user.png
# screen EL has "subject" as an object
grouperUi.subjectImg.screenEl.0 = ${subject.getAttributeValue('osuFriendlyDisplay')}


That configures the Admin UI, new UI, and lite UI to use
osuFriendlyDisplay.



Hope that helps,
