[Building Sakai] Profile2 user image

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

You can use the following URL directly in your HTML to get a user's image:

/direct/profile/userid/image

This will always return a (privacy and preference checked) image and according to any config you have in sakai.properties for Profile2. You can read more about it here:

http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8082/direct/profile/describe

Retrieve the profile image for a user. Append /thumb to get the thumbnail (/profile/USER/image/thumb) if there is one. If there is no thumbnail, the main image will be returned. Optionally add the siteId URL param to allow site permissions to be checked (/profile/USER/image?siteId={siteid} or /profile/USER/image/thumb?siteId={siteid}) Returns binary of the image. Returns default image if no image exists or not allowed. Return 404 if user (or optional siteId) is invalid. Will always return an image if one exists, either by being uploaded or being a url (depending on how the system has been configured - see Profile2 sakai.properties. You can use it directly in an img tag <img src="/profile/USER/image[/thumb]" />, it should always return something. DO NOT specify any return format, ie .xml.

cheers,
Steve
