In this article i ‘b be dealing with how to read SharePoint 2013 User Profile properties using Javascript Object Model (JSOM). We know that SharePoint 2013 provides JSOM support for User Profile properties.

Create a SharePoint Hosted App and call it as ‘Read User Profile’

Go to Default.aspx in the SP Hosted App and add the references to SP.UserProfile.Js in the PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/SP.UserProfiles.js"></script>

It will already have references to SP.UserProfile.js and App.js

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/App.js">

.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

Open the App.JS and replace its current code with the following code

var personProperties;
// This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is needed to use the SharePoint object model
$(document).ready(function () {
    //    getUserName();

    SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getUserProperties, ‘SP.UserProfiles.js’);

});

function getUserProperties() {

    //set your user id, the following format is the user id for Office 365. If you are reading it from SharePoint OnPremise assign user id in the DomainUserId
    var targetUser = “i:0#.f|membership|UserID@SharePointSite.onmicrosoft.com”;

//Instantiate Client Context
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();

//Instantiate People Manager
var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext);

// Get the instance of person properites
personProperties = peopleManager.getPropertiesFor(targetUser);

    // Load the PersonProperties object and send the request.
    clientContext.load(personProperties);
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSuccess, onRequestFail);
}

// This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call succeeds.
function onRequestSuccess() {

    // Get a property directly from the PersonProperties object.
    var messageText = ” “LastName is ” property is “
        + personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()[‘LastName’];

    // Get a property from the UserProfileProperties property.
    messageText += “<br />”WorkPhone Number” property is “
        + personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()[‘WorkPhone’];
    $get(“results”).innerHTML = messageText;
}

// This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call fails.
function onRequestFail(sender, args) {
$get(“results”).innerHTML = “Error: ” + args.get_message();
}

In this article, I’d deal with how to add a Calender App to Office 365 E3 public SharePoint site. I came across this scenario when I was designing an Office 365 public facing site for the User Group in Chennai. When you subscribe for an Office 365 E3 subscription, you’ll get a public facing Sharepoint site.
