Example of Changing Module Operation

Let us solve the task of downloading contacts from a corporate portal to Outlook 2003. Please remember that Bitrix24 Self-hosted in a standard package is intended for interaction with Outlook 2007.

The file /bitrix/modules/intranet/classes/general/ws_contacts.php is responsible for forming and preparing data for Outlook.

There are two standard problems:

• Avatars are not downloaded to Outlook 2003 - and an error occurs at once.
• Sometimes the companies, where the users work, are not downloaded (the field Organization in Outlook).

We solve the first problem using the function __getRow($arRes, $listName, &$last_change). Commenting on the strings of image attribute setup:

/*if ($this->bGetImages && $arRes['PERSONAL_PHOTO'] > 0)
      {
         $arImage = CIntranetUtils::InitImage($arRes['PERSONAL_PHOTO'], 100, 100);

         $obRow->setAttribute('ows_Attachments', ';#'.($APPLICATION->IsHTTPS() ? 'https://' : 'http://')
                              .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$arImage['CACHE']['src'].';#'.CIntranetUtils::makeGUID(md5($arRes['PERSONAL_PHOTO'])).',1;#');
         $obRow->setAttribute('ows_MetaInfo_AttachProps', '<File Photo="-1">'.$arImage['FILE']['FILE_NAME'].'</File>');
      }
      else
      {*/
         $obRow->setAttribute('ows_Attachments', 0);
      //}

We solve the second problem using the function GetListItemChangesSinceToken($listName, $viewFields = '', $query = '', $rowLimit = 0, $changeToken = ''). In the cycle while while ($arUser = $obUsers->NavNext()) we comment on all strings starting with $arUser['WORK_COMPANY'] (i.e. where the value of this attribute changes).
