I am using ominauth to signup users in my rails app.i also have a basic signup option with email address also. So for both users i have to save upload user picture in my file system I have regular file upload for my email users but for FB users i want their pics to save in my disc so i can use same code and not use FB graph link while displaying.
FB sends images in this format with graph API
http://graph.facebook.com/100007619644580/picture?type=large
How can i save that in my public folder where i store all the user images.
i tried
directory = "public/data/orig/"
#name = num1+'_'+params[:upload]['datafile'].original_filename
name = "new_name_for image"
path = File.join(directory, name)
#File.open(path, "wb") { |f| f.write(params[:upload_hover]['datafile'].read) }
File.open(path, 'wb') do |file|
file << open('http://graph.facebook.com/100007619644580/picture?type=large').read
end
but it gives me error
No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - http://graph.facebook.com/100007619644580/picture?type=large
Let me know if you have any other solutions.
Thanks for the answer, Yes i could use the paperclip gem but i'm already using cloudinary to upload image so i didn't wanted to use another image based gem just to force save files from fb user profile. I was able to workout the following code changes.
In omniauth.rb
:secure_image_url => true
for last parameters with :scope
which allowed me and secure URL.
and in my auth controller
img_path = env["omniauth.auth"]["info"]["image"].gsub(/$/,'?type=large')
require "open-uri"
num1 = 'logo_'+SecureRandom.hex(5)
img_name = num1+'_fbimage.jpg'
directory = "public/data/orig/org"
path = File.join(directory, img_name)
File.open(path, 'wb') do |file|
file << open(img_path).read
end
require "open-uri"
and :secure_image_url => true
did the trick for me.
