Facebook profile picture

[Salma7amed]

I had a question, How to store the facebook profile picture of a user while logging in through facebook.

I found this link which says how to do so using django-social-app, https://gist.github.com/kalamhavij/1662930.

How can I do the same using python-social-app ??

@Salma7amed, try with a code like this

from requests import request, HTTPError

from django.core.files.base import ContentFile


def save_profile_picture(strategy, user, response, details, is_new=False,
                         *args, **kwargs):
    # Save Facebook profile photo into a user profile, assuming a profile model
    # with a profile_photo file-type attribute
    if is_new and strategy.backend.name == 'facebook':
        url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/{0}/picture'.format(response['id'])

        try:
            response = request('GET', url, params={'type': 'large'})
            response.raise_for_status()
        except HTTPError:
            pass
        else:
            profile = user.get_profile()
            profile.profile_photo.save('{0}_social.jpg'.format(user.username),
                                       ContentFile(response.content))
            profile.save()

Put that into the pipeline and it should do the trick. The code wasn't tested, but should help to get you started).

What if we have the ImageField instead of FileField ?
