Display Selected User Profile Info in Dashlet

foosetv

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to create a dashlet that displays certain user profile information from specific users in a site dashlet. In particular, I would like to display their Skype id and their profile picture. I understand how to create basic dashlets but I can't seem to find any information as to the syntax on how to access these particular pieces of information (or any profile info directly). I'm looking for something to plug into my code like userID.skype and userID.profileAvatar.

Can anyone help me with this or point me to some resourses that may tell me how I can reference this information?

Thanks.

Maybe you're looking for the "Site Colleagues" dashlet? I reworked that one a little bit to show skypeID, phone number, e-mail, title… This works excellent for me. I sorted the list by "title", IIRC, and the titles are "1. Manager", "2. IT guy", "3. Some Other Person", so you can play with that too. Now, any user that gets there sees the list. If you want, you could probably even prevent the users to change titles (I don't).

Does that help?

Thank you for your response. I was looking to do something similar and I was able to finally complete my dashlet. Actually what I was looking for how I can look up what the variable names are for each of the fields in the profile. I wasn't having any luck looking at source code of existing modules/dashlets. I was spending alot of my development time trying to figure out what they were to just grab the data rather than coding itself.

I'm sure it's something obvious I am overlooking and there' s probably a simple answer. :roll:

Heh, in these cases experience is a must

Anyway, ask away whatever you got, I'm sure you'll frequently get a good-enough answer
