I am trying to show the facebook avatar through views. Right now I am using the fields User:Picture to try and display user's avatar's that fit into a certain category. However, no facebook avatar shows, just the default avatar. Anyone know how to display the facebook avatar through views?

I added the fbconnect avatar by theming the user picture field. Probably not the best solution, but it works.

views-view-field--picture.tpl.php:

<?php
if($fbuid = _get_user_fbuid($row->users_uid)) {
  $size = variable_get('fbconnect_pic_size', 'square');
  $logo = variable_get('fbconnect_pic_logo', TRUE);
  $output1 = <<<PIC
      <div class="picture">
        <fb:profile-pic uid="$fbuid" linked="false" size="$size" facebook-logo="$logo"></fb:profile-pic>
      </div>
PIC;
  $output = $output1.$output;
}
print $output; 
?>

The facebook picture should be accessible like 'normal' pictures so that they can be used with things like profile imagecache and views http://drupal.org/project/imagecache_profiles

@cerup: that's a nice idea, but I don't think FB actually want us to pull the user icons off their site. Is it even possible to retrieve the user's FB icon via means other than FBML?

I know gigya saves the images and therefore it works with views just like any picture in the database.

Thanks lodin, that little script worked wonders for me.

Hi,

This is a great solution, IMHO, for a node-based view. However, it doesn't work for a user based view. If I get time, I will try to modify it for a user-based view.

Modified slightly for a user-based view:

<?php
$viewsuser = user_load($row->uid); 
$userfbuid    = $viewsuser->fbuid;
if($userfbuid) {
  $size = variable_get('fbconnect_pic_size', 'square');
  $logo = variable_get('fbconnect_pic_logo', TRUE);
  $output1 = <<<PIC
      <div class="picture">
        <fb:profile-pic uid="$userfbuid" linked="false" size="$size" facebook-logo="$logo"></fb:profile-pic>
      </div>
PIC;
  $output = $output1;
}
print $output;
?>

Yeah, ditto to see if we can get imagecache support. The sizes you can pull in just make things ugly.

Needs support for ImageCache Profiles- the FB picture is way too large!

I've started a patch for this. I've basically exposed another field to views to get the Facebook image field in the views ui. This patch is a start, but I think we should really be taking over the the Users: Picture field via a hook_views_data_alter, rather than creating a whole other field.

Putting this patch up here in case it's useful for anyone else, and also just in case somebody wants to pick up where I left off.

Tom

@vectoroc: how is it fixed? Is patch #16 still needed? We should move the imagecache discussion to a seperate issue...

Who is maintaining this module? Seems there are many bugs right now.
