Conditionally displaying user images

Posted on by birgem11

I have an office status app that shows team members that are out of the office on a certain date or range of dates. If team members are out of the office, their name and their Office365Users image displays in a gallery. Some members don't have an image, so I'm conditionally displaying a generic icon in that case. My issue though is if no team members are out on a given day, an error is thrown for passing an invalid parameter (blank) to the Office365Users function. It all seems to work fine when natively running the app, but when viewed in Teams the error messages are displayed at the top.

I've tried adding a condition to check if the gallery is empty first, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's my setup.

User image Image property:

If(
!IsEmpty('OOO Gallery'),
If(
Office365Users.UserPhotoMetadata(ThisItem.'Team Member'.Email).HasPhoto = true,
Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(ThisItem.'Team Member'.Email)
)
)

User image Visible property:

!IsEmpty('OOO Gallery')

Icon Visible property:

If(
!IsEmpty('OOO Gallery'),
If(
Office365Users.UserPhotoMetadata(ThisItem.'Team Member'.Email).HasPhoto = false,
true,
false
)
)

Any help on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

Hi
I already faced the same issue and this is how I handled:
Enable the 'Formula-level error management' under settings>upcoming features>Formula-level error management (you have to restart the app)
Now go back to your image properties and set it like this:

IfError( Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(ThisItem.'Team Member'.Email), SampleImage // Image when there is no photo or it is an error )

and that's it, I hope it helps 🙂

Thanks @victorcp , but it seems my issue isn't whether or not the user has an Office365 user photo, but rather the error is thrown when there isn't an item in my gallery. The image property is still trying to pass an email to the UserPhotoV2 parameter and throwing an error because there isn't one to pass. It seems to be ignoring my !IsEmpty condition.

I tried your function above and pulls in the user photo fine if they have one, but doesn't seem to show my sample image if they don't (with my existing icon visibility property turned off).

The error is on the icon property I forgot about it hahah

try this:

On the image:
image property:

IfError( Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(ThisItem.'Team Member'.Email), Blank() )

visible property:

!IsBlank(Self.Image)

On the icon set the visible like this

!Image.Visible // use the name of your image component

This way the performance will be better

Thanks @victorcp , everything seemed to work except the icon doesn't display. The Visible property resolves to true, even though the item in the gallery doesn't display a team member pic.

if you select the whole code you will see it will be false, the exclamation deny the true

OK, that makes sense. However these still don't seem to be resolving correctly when a user does not have an image, as you can see below:
User image Image property:
User image Visible property:
Icon Visible property:

Users with images display fine, but users without images don't show anything.

I've made a quick test, and it worked perfectly on my side:

question: is 'Team Member' a person/group field?
