---+!! Personal Info !AddOn
*User personalisation and user search tool.*

A set of elements to enhance user information on the user homepage:
   * User picture
   * Quick overview of the most common user information (customizable!)
   * Quickly edit and save user information without editing the entire page

Search tools to find users:
   * Quick find phone list
   * Quick find face book 

When installed, see [[%USERSWEB%.PersonalInfoHome]] for additional details.

%TOC%

---++ Examples

---+++ User homepage
The user homepage with user picture and most common information 'lifted' from the extended !UserForm. The information that is shown is configurable.

<div class="foswikiImage"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/example_view.png" alt='Example of user topic' width='624' height='376' /></div>

---+++ Edit mode of user information
Foolproof editing of most common user data.

<div class="foswikiImage"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/example_edit.png" alt='Example of editing data' width='624' height='376' /></div>

---+++ Choosing a personal picture
Each user can have multiple pictures and select one of them.

<div class="foswikiImage"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/example_picture.png" alt='Example of selecting a personal picture' width='624' height='376' /></div>

If Foswiki:Extensions.ImagePlugin is installed, pictures are scaled on the server so camera pictures can be safely uploaded without fear of network congestion.

---+++ Quick search phone list
When installed at our homepage this quickly became the killer app of our intranet Foswiki.

<div class="foswikiImage"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/example_lookup.png" alt='Example of quick phone lookup' width='292' height='233' /></div>

---+++ Face book
Similar to the phone list but with pictures.

<div class="foswikiImage"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/example_facebook.png" alt='Example of face book page' width='624' height='376' /></div>

      * First time users: copy the files in both folders (not the folders itself!) to your %USERSWEB% web.
      * Check the files in =verify_you_don_t_overwrite_when_copying_to_user_web= if you are not overwriting any customizations
         * !UserForm is provided as example of the default !UserForm enhanced with !PersonalInfo fields. You can copy this file if you don't have a custom version of %USERSWEB%.UserForm yet.
         * !NewUserTemplate is provided as example of the default !NewUserTemplate enhanced with !PersonalInfo fields. You can copy this file if you don't have a custom version of %USERSWEB%.NewUserTemplate yet.
   * Optional plugins:
      * Foswiki:Extensions/AttachContentPlugin for a faster quick search module 
      * Foswiki:Extensions/ImagePlugin for server-side image rendering (strongly recommended)
   * For fast user data retrieval:
      1 Install Foswiki:Extensions/AttachContentPlugin
      1 Enable it in [[%SCRIPTURL{configure}%#EnabledPlugins$Extensions][configure]]
      1 In [[%USERSWEB%.SitePreferences]] set =PERSONALINFOADDON_FILECACHE=: %BR%<verbatim>   Set PERSONALINFOADDON_FILECACHE = 1</verbatim>
      1 Update the info, either:
         1 Manually: in <nop>PersonalInfo, click on the "Update" button. By saving the topic, the attachment is updated with the latest information.
