Adding phone number web-item

[mitsuplit]

I have to get a phone number of an user. For this I have to get a http request passing the variable ${profileUser} as parameter. How can I do that?

<web-item key="custom-user-hover-details" section="system.user.hover.links" weight="100" >
    <label>${profileUser}</label>
    <link></link>
  </web-item>

I solved the problem using a servlet.

where you want to get the phone number of user? but before that you need to store the phone number of user in some table of jira but jira is not giving that facility to add the phone number to a user. Instead it provide Key Value to add as a property.

I get from a http get method.

@Bharadwaj Jannu , you can easily store it as additional attribute in cwd_user_attributes. Or in some active-objects table of your plugin, if you prefer.
@mitsuplit , thanks greatly for that idea! I was roaming around that user-hover web-item about a day, trying to fit phone number there, in links.
