Modify search results

Question

Hello,

I want to show an extension attribute when searching for a user in the web interface. I tried to add it under browsing, but its still not there.

How can I modify the attributes that are shown in the results?

Thanks!

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, but we are not sure what exactly you mean. Could you, please, post here or send us (support@adaxes.com) a screenshot of the Web interface where you want to add the property? Any additional details regarding the desired behavior will be much appreciated.

Hello,

Thank you for specifying. The form you are referencing is related to viewing a user account. It is the same when you search for a user or just browse to one. For information on how to modify Web interface forms, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInterfaceCustomization_CustomizeFormsForUserCreationAndEditing.htm. In your case, you need to activate the View tab on step 5 of the guide and then add the extension attribute to the required section.

Hello,

Thank you for the provided backup. The issue occurs because of duplicate object types in the drop-down list of the Forms and Views section. To remedy the issue, execute the below script on the computer where Adaxes service is installed. When prompted, specify the credentials of the Adaxes service account (specified during the software installation). Once done, refresh the Web interface configurator page using Ctrl+F5.

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")

$credential = Get-Credential

# Connect to the Adaxes service
$admNS = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$admService = $admNS.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

# Bind to the 'WebUI Configuration' container
$webuiConfigPath = $admService.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath(
    "WebUIConfigurationContainer")
$webuiConfigContainer = $admService.OpenObject($webuiConfigPath,
     $credential.UserName, $credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password, 0)

$webUITypes = $webuiConfigContainer.GetWebUITypes()
foreach ($webUIType in $webUITypes)
{
    $ManagementFormsViewsSettings = $webUIType.ManagementFormsViewsSettings
    $ObjectTypes = $ManagementFormsViewsSettings.ObjectTypes

    $types = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.HashSet[System.String]"
    for ($i = $ObjectTypes.Count - 1; $i -ge 0; $i--)
    {
        $type = $ObjectTypes.GetItem($i)
        if (!$types.Add($type.ObjectType))
        {
            $ObjectTypes.Remove($i)
        }
    }

    $webUIType.ManagementFormsViewsSettings = $ManagementFormsViewsSettings
    $webUIType.SetInfo()
}

After running the script and refreshing the page, you should be able to add the attribute to the form.

Now it worked! Thank you.
