@Herb: This solutions uses JQuery from outside location. Check with your IT depertment maybe they are blocking it. The alternative is to place JQuery library locally on your SharePoint.

Depending on your security settings Javascript could be disabled completely on your browser.

@larry: sure the query is right in. There might also be problems with non-english SharePoint editions…

@Ben: No this is query for a simple list. User profiles are cool but the problem is these are extracted from AD data. Usually only the HR department has the correct information about an employee (phone, email, cell) and HR dept employees do not know how to modify data in AD. It is much more simpler for them to use a simple SharePoint list. There is solution from http://www.bambosolutions.com/ that syncs User profiles with a Contacts list.

This did not work for me. Not sure why, but I created a generic Contact list and added a few names to test. Web part is on the same page as the Contacts list.

Looks like you can not use this https. I have tried it on our dev environment which it works great, but with https if tosses out an error.

Very nice, thanks for looking out for us guys that dont have MOSS. I do have a question. When I first applied this to my list it did not work. Then I realized my list was modified from the default Contacts. Once I Created the default contacts it worked perfectly. If the Query is modified in the script, can this be applied to another list, maybe not contacts or a modified version of contacts?

Toni,

I am a newbie to Sharepoint. What do you mean when you say:

var contactsListName = “Contacts”; // enter your Contacts list name here

Does that mean I have to create a contacts list within Sharepoint or can I use the url call with the user profile web service? Since the contacts list will always have employees coming and going, I was hoping to use a dynamic list.

Sorry if the question is simplistic…
