sugarcrm plugin:editing staff/user avatar pictures

Hello list,

SugarCRM plugin only supports user avatar auto-creation through the
pro/enterprise versions of SugarCRM seeing only those version support
the user->picture attribute.
However I'm working to get my SugarCRM CE version supporting it
through the use of gravatar.com and other sites (facebook/linkedin
etc) regardless of this feature being stripped out from the pro
version
 (along with it's user interface)

However these improvements so far are only working on Leads and Contacts

If I log into open meetings and if I make any changes to a SugarCRM
created user account (that's flagged as DISABLED by default) - I
believe SugarCRM no longer works with that user!
How can I allow a user top login through SugarCRM & SOAP - and also
directly into the administration page - for the purpose of updating
their picture? Alternatively I could just edit the DB - but isn't
there a easier way?

Luke

So much I figured, that's why I took the steps to contact the list
before daring to make the change ;)

All right the problem is on the SugarCRM end as far as making staff
avatars. current_user->$picture returns null on CE "Community stripped
down soon to be re-dubbed developer edition"

However when creating a hash invite - can a avatar picture be attached
to that too?

If so - then Openmeetings SugarCRM plugin as far as I can see doesn't
have the functionality to make Avatar icons customers etc that have
been invited into the chat by
openmeetings_gateway->getInvitationHash()

Login by Facebook is nice. Where can I find more about that?

I know there is no 2-way synchronization. I merely asked can a user
log in for the sole purpose of updating their avatar picture? Can a
user authenticate by SugarCRM.
If I change a user created with SOAP's Group ID, Password, and Status
to enabled can SugarCRM  / SOAP still authenticate that user?

I look forwards to getting open-meetings work with my CMS too, for
customers to request support that calls a support agent when a user
enters the room.
SIP integration is coming soon ;)

Cheers,

Luke

Hi Luke,

you should not manipulate or give SugarCRM access to the blank
OpenMeetings website.
Users that access OpenMeetings via SugarCRM are not intend to login
with the same user into Openmeetings as updates to the profile of
their user won't be syncronized with their SugarCRM account.
The integration only works one way => SugarCRM user is synced to the
openmeetings profile.
In that sense also the profile picture has to be updated through the
SOAP calls, there is an attribute to set the profile picture when you
create session hashs to enter conference rooms, however I don't know
if Eugen currently supports that functionality or if he does use the
possibility to show the avatar of the user from his SugarCRM profile
in the OpenMeetings conference room at all.

Hello Luke,

there is an implementation for userpicture but as you wrote, it should
only works  in SugarCRM pro/enterprise.

Please check the line 48 here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/openmeetings/trunk/plugins/sugarcrm/SugarModules/modules/openmeetings/room_entrance.php?revision=1370825&view=markup

The *$picture = $current_user->picture* should be a valid URL. For
more information check the link below.

http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/UserService.html#setUserObjectAndGenerateRoomHash

Best Regards,
Eugen
