I am building a people results in display template that needs to include a link to an individual's CV in a document library. I've used a SPServices Getlistitem to query the list, but I can't get the CurrentItem data to work in a CAML query. What I need to do is something like the below (which isn't working):

CAMLQuery: "<Query><Where><Contains><FieldRef Name='LinkFilename' /><Value Type='Text'>_#= ctx.CurrentItem.PreferredName =#_</Value></Contains></Where></Query>"

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong or if this is even possible?

Rather than CAML, why not use the search API. For example, if you use a content type for the CV, you could fire a second query from your display template using the search REST API to find the content ContentType=CV.

  • Thanks for the suggestion Matthew, I've used the REST API and am getting results back, but all 10 CV links are being listed under the first person that's returned in the search results, rather than 1 CV for each of the 10 search results. More work to do - any suggestions? – PaulB Jun 27 '16 at 11:02
  • Without seeing the results it's hard to say. – Matthew McDermott Jun 27 '16 at 15:23
