Outlook Contact
Answer
11/14/12 5:21 PM
Hi all,
 
It seems that the last version of Cisco Jabber (9.1) contains an Outlook Connector that looks in your Personal Contact Cards and allow you to add this contact as an "External contact" in the contact list of Cisco Jabber.
Does anybody know if there's something similar integrated in the SDK that would allow us to use this kind of lookup ?
 
Thanks a lot
Regards

Christophe,
As far as I know this is not in the roadmap for web SDK. However, you can implment this by using ActiveX.
Below please see some sample Javscript code that allows you to retrieve the Outlook contact list that might help.
var Const_olFolderContacts = 10;
var objApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
var objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
var colContacts = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(Const_olFolderContacts).Items
for( var i=1; i<=colContacts.count;i++)
{
 var v = colContacts.item(i);
 alert(v["FullName"]+" ("+v["Email1Address"]+")");
}

Hi Howard,
 
Thanks for your input.
Using activeX means using IE only, which is not a solution.
 
I though something was on the way since the jabber 9.1 client does support it emoticon
