Fields visible in user profile macro should be configurable about adam

Another point worth considering, is making certain fields default in the macro using the XML configuration but allow for the possibility for the user to override the visible fields.

For example: on one page the user may wish to show, name, email and phone number and on a different page they may want to show name, department, manager. This could be done as a comma separated list of field ID's similar to the JIRA issue macro.

Now it is able to define new views in the configuration; example:

<view id="default">
    <element id="fullName" />
    <element id="email" />
    <element id="telephone" />
    <element id="mobile" />
    <element id="company" />
    <element id="department" />
    <element id="position" />
</view>

<view id="contact">
    <localization locale="en_US" title="Contact" />
    <localization locale="de_DE" title="Kontakt" />
    <access>
        <administrator view="allowed" />
        <group name="employees" view="allowed" />
        <default view="forbidden" />
    </access>
    <element id="fullName" />
    <element id="email" />
    <element id="telephone" />
    <element id="mobile" />
</view>

<view id="compact">
    <element id="fullName" />
    <element id="email" />
</view>

By default the default view has the id id. This could be changed by adding the defaultView parameter to the configuration root element. The same is handled by the hoverView attribute. This will handle the look of the user name hovers; example:

<configuration ... defaultView="default" hoverView="compact" ...>

The default view will be selected as default view for the marco. It is also possible to define more views. There are 3 special views:

• default It will select by default all possible fields.
• compact It will be normally used by the user hover popup and contains the fullName and email fields.
• all will only be present of the fields of default does not contain all possible fields and will contain always all fields.

In the macro it is possible to select a view or select the fields manually. If a field in a view is added also all marcos that uses this marco will be updated. If the custom selection of the fields is used this could not work.
