User Pictures from AD in HAP+

[mattgrimley]

Okay, for the user that wasnt working.. it now loads the default white man image (not the custom one) without any errors..

 

For my account, i now get an error:

I get a full page grey background with a sihoutte of the default logo.

@mattgrimley how do you attach your pictures to AD? I wonder if it somthing to do with the way we attach? Its odd that you can get it working for some accounts but not others? I cant get it to work at all.

[mattgrimley]

My network management software lets me do it (really just for Outlook purposes although i had naive hopes that Windows might use it at some point)! It converts the file to to the correct dimensions and size..

 

If i compare the thumbnailphoto field for both users, they are identical.. so i suspect we are missing something else.. but why it would work for me i haven't the foggiest! (yet)

I'm just getting the grey standard image with the latest dll.

@ShizukaNaHaji I just used this Cjwdev | AD Photo Edit for my photo, it works in outlook and office 365.

You may need to go to the login page and log back in. You should be getting an error like @mattgrimley

 

 

His is saying that it's found the picture, which is good, it means that it should render it once I've taken the exception that is stopping it

[dezt]

I've logged out, shut down IE9 and opened it up again, logged in and my picture is showing up as the grey image. I put the dll in the bin folder, is that where the pdb file goes as well? or have i put that in the wrong folder?

[nickbro]

OK, can you give this one a try please

Nick,

Just tested it with the new dll and pdb files and got this error

Thanks!

[nickbro]

Hopefully one more, try this dll.

 

If it isn't working or loading the default icon, try looking in the event viewer

Hey... That WORKED!!

 

It worked for the User Menu up in the right hand corner. The Me tile under resources stayed the generic photo. Is this supposed to change as well? It doesn't matter for me because my users won't see that tile, but was just curious.

 

Thanks for all of your help!

[nickbro]

I haven't change the code for the tile yet, just the user menu

[dezt]

@nickbro I'll give that dll a try in the morning and let you know what happens, is there 2 files in the zip? Do I put boh of hem in the bin folder if there is?

[nickbro]

@ dezt yep

[mattgrimley]

@nickbro confirmed working for all of my test accounts on the top right drop down (not as expected for the me tile)

 

Thanks Nick!

[nickbro]

This one should enable the live tile on the homepage to work

[dezt]

@nickbro just tested, top right tile works, is there any way to make the picture fill the green square as my 96x96 dimensions leave a border around my picture, or should I be making the picture bigger?

[nickbro]

HAP+ will resize the picture to 92x92 or which ever is less, as to keep the aspect ratio

[mattgrimley]

sorry mate, white pawn bloke on both now..

[dezt]

cheers Nick, just seen the size now.

[dezt]

Am i right in thinking this is only working for the drop down menu at the moment, the live tile still shows the white image. Is there anywhere else that the image would be displayed on HAP+ that I need to check?

[nickbro]

Just cache, it should be working. Check the JSON response for the livetiles request

[nickbro]

Ok, bit of a doh moment, left some debug code in there, try this dll

[dezt]

@nickbro It seems to be working for me, my pic shows up on the drop down menu at the top right, on the live tile and on the me page.

 

Thanks for this.

[ShizukaNaHaji]

@nickbro All sorted! Thats fantastic it works fine now!!

 

THANK YOU!!!!
