Error in documentation? about sharepointplus

[Aymkdn]

Yes it's an error in the documentation (it will be fixed in the next release).

If you try to get the current user details with Sharepoint 2013 you can also do that:

// a global objet that will contain the info about the current user
var __globalUserDetails={};

// a tiny function to do a REST request
function tiny_rest_json(m,u,c,a,d){with(new(this.XMLHttpRequest||ActiveXObject)("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"))onreadystatechange=function(){readyState^4||c(this)},open(m,u,a),setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json;odata=verbose"),send(d)};

// a function to get the details for the current user
// @param {Boolean} [sync=false] If you want the request to be sync or not
function getGlobalUserDetails(sync) {
  // to get the user ID
  tiny_rest_json("get", "/_api/Web/CurrentUser?$select=Id", function(xhr) {
    __globalUserDetails.userID = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText).d.Id * 1;
  }, sync);

  // find the other infos we want
  tiny_rest_json('get', '/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/UserProfileProperties', function(xhr) {
    var results = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
    results = results.d.UserProfileProperties.results;
    for (var i=results.length; i--;) {
      switch(results[i]["Key"]) {
        case "PreferredName": __globalUserDetails.preferredName = results[i]["Value"]; break;
        case "LastName":      __globalUserDetails.lastName = results[i]["Value"]; break;
        case "FirstName":     __globalUserDetails.firstName = results[i]["Value"]; break;
        case "WorkEmail":     __globalUserDetails.workEmail = results[i]["Value"]; break;
        case "AccountName":   __globalUserDetails.userName = results[i]["Value"]; break;
        case "Manager":       __globalUserDetails.manager = results[i]["Value"]; break;
      }
    }
  }, sync);
}

getGlobalUserDetails(true);

Thank You. Looks like you are migrating away from JQuery?

Yes I'll try. I don't really use jQuery anyway (mainly for the AJAX Requests). Also I started to use Sharepoint 2013 so I'll see how I can improve things with that :)
