People Picker Field

Posted by Andy Weisse - Jun 3 ’15 at 08:25

fd.field('User').control('ready', function() {
  var selectedUsers = fd.field('User').value();
  for (var i = 0; i < selectedUsers.length; i++) {
    alert('Login: ' + selectedUsers[i].Key);
  }
});

the answer is : domain\weisse ..but I need it in text to compare.
So I need the display name, not the login name
.How can I solve this?

Regards Andy

  Hi Andy,

  Please, try the following code:

   
  fd.field('User').control('ready', function() {
    var selectedUsers = fd.field('User').value();
    for (var i = 0; i < selectedUsers.length; i++) {
      alert('Login: ' + selectedUsers[i].DisplayText);
    }
  });
  

  Please, make sure that you use the people piker in the Client mode. You can switch the rendering mode in Forms Designer, property name is Render.

  Hi Dmitry!
  Thanks for the answer!
  Unfortunately, the same result with Display text. domain\weisse
  For Explanation. I try to compare the current user with a user in a field.

   

  var getWebUserData = function() {
  context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
  web = context.get_web();
  currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
  currentUser.retrieve();
  context.load(web);
  context.executeQueryAsync(function(o, e) {
  user = web.get_currentUser();
  currentuser = user.get_title())
  }, function(o, e) {
  alert('request failed ' + e.get_message() + '\n' + e.get_stackTrace());
  });
  }
  ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");

  fd.field('Antragsteller').control('ready', function() {
  var selectedUsers = fd.field('Antragsteller').value();
  for (var i = 0; i < selectedUsers.length; i++) {
  alert('Login: ' + selectedUsers[i].DisplayText);
  fielduser = selectedUsers[i].DisplayText;
  }
  });

  if(currentuser == fielduser)
  {

  .....

  };

  [#2]: You'd better compare users by login names. Please, use the following code to get the login name of the current user:

  user.get_loginName()

  Sorry, it is not working properly. :(
  

  This is my source code:

  var context = null;
  var web = null;
  var currentUser = null;
  var user = null;
  var currentuser;
  var fielduser;
  var fieldgenehmiger1;
  

  //Check current user
  var getWebUserData = function() {
  context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
  web = context.get_web();
  currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
  currentUser.retrieve();
  context.load(web);
  context.executeQueryAsync(function(o, e) {
  user = web.get_currentUser();
  currentuser = user.get_loginName();
  

  //Check field user
  fd.field('Genehmiger1').control('ready', function() {
  var selectedUsers = fd.field('Genehmiger1').value();
  for (var i = 0; i < selectedUsers.length; i++) {
  fieldgenehmiger1 = selectedUsers[i].Key;
  }
  });
  
  alert(currentuser + ' compare ' + fieldgenehmiger1);          <----this is the message 'i:0#.w|domain\sptest1 compare domain\sptest1'
  
  if(currentuser == fieldgenehmiger1){   
  alert('equal');
  }else{
  alert('not equal');                                                                          <---- result 'not equal'
  }                                                         
  
  }, function(o, e) {
  alert('request failed ' + e.get_message() + '\n' + e.get_stackTrace());
  });
  }
  ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");

  //End source code

   

  I had also nested functions, because the result of the functions sometimes was undefined.
  (In firefox the result of the 'Check field user' function is almost always undefinded.

  I did not think that it is difficult to compare two values.

  [#5]: For me, the name appears correctly: First name Last name:

   

  SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded((function() {

  var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();

  var web = ctx.get_web();

  ctx.load(web);

  var user = web.get_currentUser();

  user.retrieve();

  ctx.executeQueryAsync(

  function() {

  fd.field('AssignedTo').control().value(user.get_loginName());

  fd.field('AssignedTo').control()._el().find('a:eq(0)').click();

  });

  }), "SP.js");

  Simply insert in JavaScript editor.

  [#5]: Have you tried to use groups functionality to create different forms depending on field values?

  http://spform.com/documentation/groups

  There is a function: ContainsCurrentUser([FieldName])

  So it would work wonderfully, yes. So I had made it to show specific users different forms.
  But my boss says that everything has to work in a single Edit form. Otherwise it would be difficult to maintain.
  And therefore I need to compare field user and current user with javascript.

  I think I have it. I have changed the field to server rendering mode. SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded((function() {
  var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
  var web = ctx.get_web();
  ctx.load(web);
  user = web.get_currentUser();
  user.retrieve();
  ctx.executeQueryAsync(
  function() {
  currentuser = user.get_loginName();
  
  fieldgenehmiger1 = fd.field('Genehmiger1')
  .value().dictionaryEntries[0].AccountName;
  alert(currentuser + ' compare ' + fieldgenehmiger1);    <--- now the result is 'i:0#.w|domain\sptest1 compare i:0#.w|domain\sptest1' if(user.get_loginName() == fieldgenehmiger1){   
  alert('equal');
  }else{
  alert('not equal');    <--- and the if else function works too!
  }
  });   
  }), "SP.js"); ...I will test again exactly on Monday. Oh man, what a crap! ;) Thank you again Dmitry and RMIC. I wish you a nice weekend!
