[Archetypes-users] How to modify user properties and how to add an user as an attribute to a class

[peyu]

Hi everybody, I don't know if the subject is very clear so I will try to
explain...

I'm doing an UML model with argouml, to set up some king of intranet in
plone.
Right now, every class is working ok, archgenxml doesn't claim any errors
and I can install and use the package produced by AGX in plone.

I need some help for 2 points:
- We have a class called "project", which has an attribute called "project
manager", which a user of the intranet. I have look in the forum, the
documentation and google but I haven't found anything...
How can I create this attribute ? does I need to add an attribute with a
type like "user", or to create an aggregation to the user class?

- I want to create also some kind of yellow pages, so we want to add
properties to user, like for examples biography, skills, languages spoken,
etc. How can I do it ? Cand I add directly user attributes, do I need to
create a new UserProfiles class, is there already something done for this ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

François

I believe Plone developers have mostly moved away from the ArgoUML/AGX development model.

I would use a String field and store the userid in it.

Have a look at WebLion's FacultyStaffDirectory product, or this:

http://plone.org/documentation/kb/add-memberdata

I googled for "how to extend plone user attributes"

Alternatively, depending on how long your members list is, you could use a selection field with a vocabulary=methodname that returns a sequence of (id, fullname) tuples.  This gives you a chance to filter the users list if that's helpful.

If the members list is too long for that I've re-tasked a members search form  (as a separate form) to return a member Id and stored that in a string.  If you're really clever it can also be done by stealing the search from @@sharing form.

Ian - thanks for the ideas on how to enter those userid values. I've been working on a uwosh.meeting content type that is basically a Folderish Event; the attendees LinesField is something I'd like to have use an autocomplete widget of some sort (we have 15,000-20,000 LDAP user records).

Thanks you all for your answer.

I will try the Ian ideas about the userid, but may be I will need some help in the future...
