Our organization stores common information about a person in an LDAP
directory. We have defined both templates and tags that can display
this information (eg, Name, phone, email, photo, department, ...) in
something like a business card/vCard.
We'd like to combine this with SMW. Specifically, let's say that a user
provided the following metadata about themselves:
{{User Info
|ldapid=username
|interests=X, Y, Z
}}
Then, with an ask query, let's suppose that we wanted the following (in
a table, for instance):
Name Photo Phone Email Interests
Each of Name, Photo, Phone, and Email would be derived from the ldap
query for the given ldapid. Interests, on the other hand, would come
from the interests property.
As another example, SMW currently has a format type of vCard. Much of
this information is stored in an LDAP directory; only the LDAP user id
would be required to obtain it.
Eventually, we'd like to get sophisticated with the return result of
this type of query, such that the information was provided in-line,
rather than as a link to the page that contained the information, which
is all that we've been able to accomplish with the standard properties
and templates.
I've started with the SMW_QP_vCard, and added a new QueryPrinter.
However, I'm somewhat stuck [the ask is returning the wiki page name
that contains the values, not the semantic values themselves].
Are there any suggestions, comments, or recommendations/pointers that
can be offered to implement this [we're using MW 1.13.2 and SMW 1.3,
although we can upgrade to 1.4]?
