How to retrieve User profile picture

[12年前 に ronnie orvakanti によって更新されました。]

Hi All,
How do i retrieve a Liferay user's profile picture in Java?

Thanks in advance

Um, you look at any of the Liferay source code that does the same thing, then emulate it...

Hi David,
I looked. But couldn't find anything like for instance: user.getPortrait()
Im using Liferay 6.0.6.

[12年前 に David H Nebinger によって更新されました。]

<portal-6.0.6-src>/portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/enterprise_admin/edit_user.jsp on line #223 says all it needs to.

Hi David,
Is this what you are talking about?

<img alt="<%= HtmlUtil.escape(selUser.getFullName()) %>" class="avatar" src="<%= themeDisplay.getPathImage() %>/user_<%= selUser.isFemale() ? "female" : "male" %>_portrait?img_id=<%= selUser.getPortraitId() %>&t=<%= ImageServletTokenUtil.getToken(selUser.getPortraitId()) %>" />

No, that's for the generic portrait when the user doesn't have one loaded.

The line I'm looking at says <img alt="<%=HtmlUtil.escape(selUser.getFullName()) %>" class="user-logo" src="<%= selUser.getPortraitURL(themeDisplay) %>" />

Basically when you call user.getPortraitURL() with the current theme, you get the image link to use on the rendered page.

If you need direct access to the image file itself (which I doubt), you'd have to go through the image api to get to it.

David,
I cant find that particular line in edit_user.jsp at all.

Im looking in the same folder you mentioned:
C:\workspace\liferay-portal-src-6.0.6\portal-web\docroot\html\portlet\enterprise_admin......

And im using Liferay 6.0.6

[12年前 に David H Nebinger によって更新されました。]

That line comes from 6.1 trunk, but a similar line is available in 6.0.6 also.

It's effectively the same thing - call user.getPortraitURL(themeDisplay) to get the URL for using as the src attribute of an image tag.

Hi David,
Thank you for your response.

I retrieve a user (com.liferay.portal.model.user) from the DB using his userId. After that, i tried to get his portraitURL as you suggested:
user.getPortraitURL(themeDisplay)
But there is no such function call available.
I can only get his portraitID: user.getPortraitId();

I'm using Liferay 6.0.6. Is this API available only from Liferay 6.1?????

Above David's post contains all info you need.
I've used this way to retrieve user's portrait many times.

Hi Natalie,
How do i get my current theme display?

Could you please share a couple of code snippets where i could retrieve a user's theme display and then use it to retrieve the potraitURL?

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet" prefix="portlet" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/theme" prefix="liferay-theme" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>
<liferay-theme:defineObjects />
<portlet:defineObjects />
<liferay-ui:user-display userId="<%= user.getUserId() %>" />

In your portlet class you can use following code to retrieve user profile picture

ThemeDisplay themeDisplay= (ThemeDisplay) actionRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
String portraitURL = null;
try {
portraitURL = themeDisplay.getUser().getPortraitURL(themeDisplay);
} catch (PortalException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (SystemException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}

Hi Roshan,
I can only get the PortraitId but not the PortraitURL. I'm using LR 6.0.6 API. Which API are you talking about?

Thanks.

Finally i was able to get the image object as follows:

long portraitId = user.getPortraitId();
        Image image = ImageLocalServiceUtil.getImage(portraitId);

This worked for me

For jsp code you can refer the code given by David.

Hey ,

This code helps you,

user = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(userId);
long portraitId = user.getPortraitId();
String tokenId = com.liferay.portal.webserver.WebServerServletTokenUtil.getToken(user.getPortraitId());
profilePath = "/image/user_" + ((user != null) && user.isFemale() ? "female" : "male") + "_portrait?img_id=" + portraitId + "&t=" + tokenId;(URL is based on you requirement)

Thanks

Never, ever do hard-coded stuff like this...

What happens if someone changes the root for the portal? Everything else works but this code breaks. What happens when Liferay changes it in another version? Everything else works but this code breaks.

There are approved Liferay ways to access data via the APIs and there are hacks; this code is a hack that should be avoided.

Hi Devid ,

Actually I have used Liferay API's(like Dynamic query) to retrieve or access the user data and then only I have used above code to get user information.

But still, you shouldn't hard code strings like this.

IIRC the ThemeDisplay instance has a method to get the portrait URL, or the User object does taking the ThemeDisplay as an argument (I don't remember directly, but it is something along those lines).
