Jabber contacts with custom information field

[Lionel Thai]

Hello,

We have recently deployed our jabber client 9.2.0 and so far everything is ok.

A a presentation with Cisco, we saw one of the speaker from Cisco with a jabber client that had custom field displayed for each contact information (location + title etc).

We asked our integrator, but to date, they have not been able to find a way to accomplish that. Would anyone know how we can customize this pop up windows to dispaly additional field ? The LDAP query is working fine, I just need to be able to amend the information displayed.

We are using standard AD for directory, but I can imagine if you have an LDAP, one may have some different field to map as well.

Thanks in advance,

Lionel

Hi Lionel,

It sounds like the users had custom presence manually set.

Where did you see the custom information?

Hi Colin,

Actually, I think there is a misunderstanding. The problem is when you click on view profile for a contact. You do have a list of preconfigured information such as firstname, lastename, IM account etc. What I would like to do is to add / remove some extra field from our Active directory.

I have seen it done, but not sure how this was accomplished (specific dev or some unknown custom in the jabber client)

Thanks,

Lionel

You can change the mapping by following the docs here:

Unfortunately you can't add extra parameters.
