SharePoint: Modifying the PeopleResults.aspx - adding custom Profile Properties
To modify the results of the peopleresults.aspx, a few stepts have to be taken.
In my case, a Division is added to the results.
at first, make sure that the property that you want to display, is indexed so it will be part of the People Search Scope: Go http://MOSS2007/ssp/admin/_layouts/MgrProperty.aspx and select or add the UserProfileProperty that you want to be part of the search result. Check the indexed box.
Open your own userprofile, and add some data in the field.
After this, start a new full crawl on the contentsource that has the sps:// (people search) tag in it. When its finished, you will find the Division back in your metadata properties:
Now you will be ready to modify your peopleresults.aspx:
Go to this page, and open the page in edit mode. FInd the searchresults box, and open this one in edit mode, too. Press the "XSL-editor" button in here.
in here, you can edit the xsl to add the custom userprofile properties to the results.
I am gonna add this to the office information (I know it doesnt belong there, but hey, its just an example):
find the psrch-Description, and add an xsl:with-param names divi, which selects the division userprofile property from the peoplesearch results.
<div class="psrch-Description">
<xsl:call-template name="DisplayOfficeProfile">
<xsl:with-param name="title" select="jobtitle" />
<xsl:with-param name="dep" select="department" />
<xsl:with-param name="phone" select="workphone" />
<xsl:with-param name="office" select="officenumber" />
<xsl:with-param name="divi" select="division" />
</xsl:call-template>
</div>
now, find the DisplayOfficeProfile section and add a xsl-param name and a check + value of that parameter to display it in the results:
<xsl:template name="DisplayOfficeProfile">
<xsl:param name="title" />
<xsl:param name="dep" />
<xsl:param name="phone" />
<xsl:param name="office" />
<xsl:param name="divi" />
<span class="psrch-Metadata">
<xsl:if test='string-length($title) > 0'>
<xsl:value-of select="$title" />
-
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test='string-length($dep) > 0'>
<xsl:value-of select="$dep" />
-
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test='string-length($phone) > 0'>
<xsl:value-of select="$phone" />
-
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test='string-length($office) > 0'>
<xsl:value-of select="$office" />
-
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test='string-length($divi) > 0'>
<xsl:value-of select="$divi" />
</xsl:if>
</span>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
Save the template and press apply. Prepare for an error, but don't worry: publish the page and reload it, and your peopleresults will be updated with the custom property
