Description

Enable logged-in users to search your G Suite (Google Apps) employee directory from a widget on your intranet or client site.

Enter search text to see matching names and email addresses, along with profile photos!

This plugin requires that you also install the free (or paid) version of the popular Google Apps Login plugin

Setup should take fifteen minutes following our widely-praised instructions.

Enterprise Version

There is now also a paid Enterprise version of this plugin available – embed an interactive table format showing all your staff
(or selected OrgUnits). Users can sort by clicking on a column heading, or search to filter the table for matching text.
It is fully configurable so you can choose the columns to show, and you can style the table as desired.

See our website for more information including pricing.

Requirements

Google Apps Directory should work for the following domains:

G Suite Basic (Google Apps for Work)
G Suite Business (Google Apps Unlimited for Work)
G Suite for Education (Google Apps for Education)
G Suite for Non-profits (Google Apps for Non-profits)
G Suite for Government (Google Apps for Government)

Google Apps Login plugin setup requires you to have admin access to any G Suite (Google Apps) domain, or a regular Gmail account, to register and
obtain two simple codes from Google.

To use Google Apps Directory, you will also need to register a Service Account with Google and upload details to the Google Apps Login
plugin’s settings page. This is an extra step that you don’t need if you set up Google Apps Login alone, or if you use our
Google Drive Embedder extension plugin.

Google Apps Login

The Google Apps Login plugin (which you must also install)
allows existing WordPress user accounts to login to the website
using Google to securely authenticate their account. This means that if they are already logged into Gmail for example,
they can simply click their way through the WordPress login screen – no username or password is explicitly required!

Full support and premium features are also available for purchase:

Eliminate the need for G Suite (Google Apps) domain admins to separately manage WordPress user accounts, and get peace
of mind that only authorized employees have access to the organizations’s websites and intranet.

function my_gad_extract_user_data($user_outdata, $u) {
   // $u contains data returned from Google
   $phones = $u->getPhones();
   if (is_array($phones) && count($phones) > 0) {
       $phone = $phones[0]['value'];
       // Add extra custom data for this user
       $user_outdata['phone'] = 'Phone: '.$phone;
   }
   return $user_outdata;
}

add_filter('gad_extra_output_fields', 'my_gad_extra_output_fields', 10,1);

// Tell javascript widget extra fields to pull from the array extracted above
function my_gad_extra_output_fields($infields) {
   return 'phone,'.$infields;
}

This plugin works perfectly. It's incredibly easy to use. It plays extremely well with the other plugins Dan has created and makes creating an online portal for your company amazingly well rounded. On top of that, the support Dan has provided goes above and beyond. He's been helping me make small customization's to the plugins for more than 2 months now. It's rare to find products that work this well, and people who care to help as much as Dan does these days. I can't say enough about Dan and this plugin!!!
