SharePoint 2010 makes greater use of the employee's photo. In my company, employee photos are managed by secretaries and are considered part of HR data. We have a handy web service that resizes and returns employees' photos according to login:
http://services.domain.com/photo.ashx?login=kobi&width=64&height=64
What is a good way to "rewire" all SharePoint photos to this service? I'd like to avoid uploading all photos to the /my
site, or updating the Active Directory - I'm looking for an all-code solution.
Can I rewrite the part that displays the photo? If not, can rewrite all users' photos' urls?
Looks like SharePoint is using ProfilePropertyImage
from Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.dll
- What I would really like to do is to make SharePoint use my control instead. Is that too optimistic?
