Why don't all of my contacts appear in the Contact Picker?
You may not see every contact in the widget because CloudSponge only displays contacts that pass through some simple email validation. This ensures that your application only gets a list of contacts with reasonable looking email addresses.
One common address that is filtered is the Exchange address. These addresses generally follow this format:
/o=ORGANIZATION_NAME/ou=organizational group/cd=RECIPIENTS/cn=username</code>
If you would like all the emails to appear in the widget, you can set an option to override the filtering of these emails. Specifying:
performEmailValidation: false
in the csPageOptions
will display every contact with an email address, valid or not.
Well, well, well, look who we have here! If you have any burning questions, don't worry, you don't have to send a pigeon to us. Just shoot us an email at support@cloudsponge.com.
