User Pictures from AD in HAP+

[ShizukaNaHaji]

How odd, I must have some sort of configuration error here, I can't get it to appear in the me tile now the top right tile. I could get the old jpg attribute working with the old dll files but the thumbnail attribute I can't make work at all.

[mattgrimley]

hmm, i think there may be a size limitation on the thumbnail image.. 100Kb maximum file size and possibly even a width x height limit..

(Though some places are saying it's actually a 10Kb maximum file size..)

I've been looking into this for Office 365 and outlook 2010, they all say 10Kb limit and 96x96 pixels recommended size. I'm trying to get my own picture in Outlook, Office 365 and HAP+ from AD, so far only got it in Office 365.

[ShizukaNaHaji]

We set image size to 96x96 still no joy. Is there cache i have to clear somewhere other than IE cache

A) Edit ~/style/basestyle.css, add to line 152:
[code] background-repeat: no-repeat;[/code
B) Now fixed

Will release another patch update later today

I'm struggling to get my picture to display in HAP+, it is 96x96 and 4.00Kb, it is showing up in Office 365, Outlook 2010 (not Outlook 2013, but i've read that there is lots of problems with that at the moment) so I know it's pulling the picture from AD for that, it just doesn't show up in HAP+. I've deleted my browsing history and used the F12 developer options to delete cache, but it still doesn't show my picture. Any ideas?

[ShizukaNaHaji]

Nick is going to release a patch later to deal with the issue. I'd hang tight for the patch.

[dezt]

Will do, cheers.

[nickbro]

The patch should be out, v8.6

[ShizukaNaHaji]

Hi Nick,

I applied the patch but still now joy

Just to check, this is what i have done...

Attached the picture to the thumbnailPhoto Attribute
Checked that the pic shows up in Outlook 2010 (it does)
Made sure the image is 96x96
Updated HAP to 8.6 and restarted the server (just to make sure)
Cleared my cache in IE
Tested as myself (Admin)
Tested as a student

Still no joy. It must be something im doing wrong beucase it works for you??

Try this dll, it disables the error catch handler, it should tell you what it's having an issue with, hopefully.

then browse to /hap/api/mypic and see what it says

[mattgrimley]

It's not just you @ShizukaNaHaji !

Whilst it works fine for me and 1 of my test users.. it's not displaying for my assistant's account - I can't work it out.. I tried adding the same image to both his and mine.. mine works, his not so.. (both display in Outlook)..

Happy to try the test dll too @nickbro..

is that what you wanted?

[nickbro]

Ok, can you try this dll now

[dezt]

@nickbro i've just tried the 2nd dll file, and i'm just getting a blank page when browsing to /hap/api/mypic I don't know if anyone else gets that, I also just have a green background at the top right when i click on my name, not a picture.
