Integrating the TUMvCard

Important!

Please check in TUMonline (without logging in) whether the desired business card is available. Only then can you use TUMvCard for this person on your website.

For the personal data to be displayed, it must be made accessible to anonymous users. Each employee must configure this setting themselves in TUMonline.

If the profile is displayed but the photo is missing, check in TUMonline whether the business card image is set to “always display.”

Preparation: Find the "Person ID" in TUMonline

You need the Person ID from TUMonline for the TUMvCard. We have described how to find it in detail on a separate page.

TUMvCard & TUM Memberlist

Screenshot: Categorie "PAGE:TUMvCard-xxx" — Image 6: Categorie "PAGE:TUMvCard-xxx"

If your website contains multiple TUMvCard elements for the same person, the TUM Memberlist needs an additional specification of which page contains the desired TUMvCard:

In the TUM Memberlist plugin, select the category “PAGE:TUMvCard-xxx” (Image 6 No.3). This category is already created.
You must also assign this category to the page (under Page Properties) where the desired TUMvCard is located.
