New subject: [xwiki-users] extend contact list with thumbnails - SOLVED

23 Dec 2014

Hello all,

what would be the best way to show pictures/thumbnails from an active directory in an
xwiki site?

So far, we are using groovy to contact an active directoy, extract user info, like name,
mail, phone etc and return xwiki 2.0 syntax, see code below
Now we would love to extend that contact list with photos stored in the active directory.

Would that be possible? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,
Florian
