Include additional User Profile fields in the People Directory search

Alicia Miller

Hi All,

I would like to expand the elements that can be searched for in the Confluence People Directory.

For example, it would be really useful to be able to search the Department field (eg. "Marketing") in the People Directory search box and have it return all people with that set in their Department field in their profile.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks,

Alicia

Alicia -

AppFusions' Enterprise Directory and Org Chart allows you to expand based on the fields in your LDAP/AD (also can include images from AD).

Also you can sort by departments, names, etc. and place lookups or org charts also In independent Confluence pages (via additional macros).

When installed, the "Directory" is natively available in the page header options.

Here's a "glimpse" video :

The User Profile for Confluence add-on gives you this functionality.

Hi, Yeah I have this installed so I am a bit familiar with it. The only thing though is I just don't think my users (mostly non-tech) will embrace the need to specify the element that they are searching for. For instance, somebody might want to search for everyone on the IT Service Desk... They will want to just input the word "Service" and have every profile that includes the word "Service" listed. Not: "Department:Service" or "Position:Service". So I want to know how to expand what the search of the People Directory is looking at... but not sure how to do it :-/

Hi Ellen, I am trialling the appfusions plugin at the moment. It still requires the user to decide what element the are searching for. I would just like to be able to expand the general confluence People Directory search to encompass all elements from the user profiles. Hmm. Thanks, Alicia

Yeah our users had the same issue. So, what I did was I hijacked the People Directory page by putting some JavaScript in the Custom HTML section of Confluence Admin. The JavaScript first checks to see what page the user is currently on. If it is the people directory then it hides the default search form (does not delete it). Then the script builds out a form with the fields that we want and a submit button. When the user clicks the submit button the script creates the appropriate search syntax and puts the value into the hidden search field and programatically clicks the hidden search button. I give and example on this page. https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/8629205/answers/9377913

See the update on my above post for a screenshot of what ours looks like. I unhid the default search box so you could see kinda what we are doing.
