Adding new attribute in the user add dialog

[Prashant M. Bapat]

Hi All,

I wanted to add a custom attribute to user. I followed the freeipa
extension guide here
http://www.freeipa.org/images/5/5b/FreeIPA33-extending-freeipa.pdf

So far I have add this to the LDAP schema and added a custom python code
to /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/plugins/.

With this the CLI part is working fine.

The new attribute (say "favoritecolorname") should be mandatory for all
users. I want the "user_add" call to validate the string using a regex.
This works perfectly! I used this guide
https://abbra.fedorapeople.org/guide.html

I'm stuck with chaning the User Add dialog in Web UI. I need this new
atribute "favoritecolor" to be mandatory. Is there any sample code on
chaning the default user add dialog ?

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks.

You can take a look here: 
https://pvoborni.fedorapeople.org/plugins/employeenumber/employeenumber.js 
. Only thing you need to change is to find fields using:

var fields = user_mod.entity_spec.adder_dialog.sections[1].fields;

and then push new field into the section:

var fields.push({field_spec});

In this case you also don't need helper function.

That should work, in case you have any other troubles let me know.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the quick response.

Let me try this and come back.

Hi Pavel,

Thank you very much for the pointer. I'm able to achieve what I was looking
for. Below is the JS I ended up using.

Thanks again.
--Prashant

define([
        'freeipa/phases',
        'freeipa/user'],
        function(phases, user_mod) {

// helper function
function get_item(array, attr, value) {

for (var i=0,l=array.length; i<l; i++) {
        if (array[i][attr] === value) return array[i];
    }
    return null;
  }

var fav_color_plugin = {};

fav_color_plugin.add_fav_color_number_pre_op = function() {

var facet = get_item(user_mod.entity_spec.facets, '$type', 'details');
      var section = get_item(facet.sections, 'name', 'misc');

section.fields.splice(3, 0, {
        name: 'favoritecolor',
        label: 'Favorite Color',
        read_only: true
    });

var add_user_fields =
user_mod.entity_spec.adder_dialog.sections[0].fields;

add_user_fields.splice(3, 0, {
     name: 'favoritecolor',
     required: true,
   });

return true;
  };

phases.on('customization',
fav_color_plugin.add_fav_color_number_pre_op);

return fav_color_plugin;
});
