[Building Sakai] Profile/Roster question

[Bryan Bakotich]

Steve,

I fixed the issue I was having in the last screenshot. I must've been tired
yesterday because I didn't notice the big stack trace in the logs I was
getting each time I tried to view the photos. We were experiencing the bug
described here: https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/PRFL-425
I upgraded from version 1.3.11 to 1.3.13 and that fixed the issue.

One weird thing about this is that the Roster was defaulting to use profile2
even without the sakai.property you showed me (*
profile.manager.integration.bean=org.sakaiproject.profile2.legacy.ProfileManager
*). I had to change this property to *
profile.manager.integration.bean=org.sakaiproject.api.app.profile.LegacyProfileManager
* so that the Roster tool would use profile1.

I don't think we actually need a conversion from FileSystemPhotoService to
profile2 because it is our university policy that we are not aloud to
automatically make an official photo a profile photo. This is something that
the user has to manually choose to do (or select their own photo for their
profile). Users are not aloud to change their official photo since it is
used by professors to identify their students.

I am hoping that profile photo and official photo are kept separate in the
1.4 series of profile2. That way we can use profile2 the same way we use
profile1 now. So for now I think we will go back to using profile1 with the
FileSystemPhotoService. Let me know if you have any questions for me on our
setup with official/profile pictures. Profile2 does look like a nice
improvement to the old profile and we are hoping to use it if we can work in
our requirements to keep official and profile pictures separate.
