Hi, I'm developing a solution using Java and the Google APIs for Contacts and Domain Profiles.
The situation is the following: We have our domain users, each of them with an email account. We have devised a solution to get additional information such as postal address and organizational info from our company's user database, and sort of upload that into the Google domain. So far we have been able to read all profile information from the domain, and write information back into the domain. This way, all of our Google domain users have their profiles information matching the information from the in-company database. We have noticed that when we edit the profile (Google side) information, any existing contact entry in an user Gmail contact list will not get overridden. (ie: Gmail user "John" has "Anna" as a contact in his contact list, her contact information is minimal because he hasn't added any other information than those already provided by Google when he added her as a contact. After running our tool, "Anna"s profile at the Google domain got updated with additional information. In "John"s contact list, "Anna" still appears with that old minimal information. He would have to delete her as a contact and re-add her in order to get her new full profile information) Sometimes - after we ran the tool - when we add a new contact that we've searched in the domain, if that searched contact is added, his entry in the user contact list will be blank! Only showing the checkbox at the left side of the row. Also, when adding a contact to the Gmail Chat box, the added contact will not display it's full name in the list. (ie: "John" is now searching for "Kathy" on the chat search box. He types her name and invites her to chat. She is added to "John"s chat list, but instead of showing "Kathy" it shows as "kty" which is the first part of her email address "[email protected]". In "John"s contact list, "Kathy"s name is showing as it should, as the information in the domain profile. "John" is only able to get "Kathy"s name to show correctly in the chat list after he goes into his contact list and edits her name to something different from what is, then the change will get displayed in the chat list) Has somebody been in this situation before? Does anyone know how to fix it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Contacts, Shared Contacts and User Profiles APIs" group.
