hi I am trying to get user profile information like this once the authentication is successful,
class LinkController < ApplicationController
def callback
client = LinkedIn::Client.new("ddddd", "ffffff")
if session[:atoken].nil?
pin = params[:oauth_verifier]
atoken, asecret = client.authorize_from_request(session[:rtoken], session[:rsecret], pin)
session[:atoken] = atoken
session[:asecret] = asecret
else
client.authorize_from_access(session[:atoken], session[:asecret])
end
#profile = client.profile
#connections = client.connections
puts client.profile(:fields => [:positions]).positions
puts client.connections
end
end
the result i get is as follows:
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a6fdd8>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a58f30>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a58af8>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a58708>
#<LinkedIn::Profile:0x4a583a8>
I really don't understand what is this and if the information is correct than how to convery it to user readable,
I am new guy to ROR please help me to get this resolved.
Those are objects; use the inspect method to return a human-readable representation:
client.profile.inspect

My service is supposed to match the current user with an opponent. I have a method in my service that is supposed to find this opponent but it's not saving it in my controller. I realize this is a very basic question but I'm very new to rails, thank you!
Here is my service:
class MatchUser
attr_accessor :user_params
def initialize(user_params)
#user_params = user_params
end
def match(opponent)
return false if user_params[:matched] == true
#unmatched_users = User.where(matched: false)
#unique_unmatched_users = #unmatched_users.where.not(id: user_params[:id])
#same_league_unmatched_users = #unique_unmatched_users.where(league_id:
user_params[:league_id])
return false if #same_league_unmatched_users.empty?
opponent = #same_league_unmatched_users.sample
opponent.faceoff_date = Time.now
user_params[:faceoff_date] = Time.now
opponent.save!
end
end
Here is the part in my controller where I'm getting an error when I try to assign #matched_user_team because #matched_user is nil
#user = current_user
#matching = MatchUser.new(#user)
if #matching.match(#matched_user)
#matched_user_team = #matched_user.teams.last.chars
end
This question is related to the same one here, but still i am facing the same problem that linkedin is only serving the current position informations , how can i get the past positions & education details using the linkedin gem in Rails,my linkedin controller has been shown below, need your assistance.
require 'linkedin'
class LinkedinUserController < ApplicationController
def init_client
key = "XXXXXX"
secret = "XXXXXX"
linkedin_configuration = { :site => 'https://api.linkedin.com',
:authorize_path => '/uas/oauth/authenticate',
:request_token_path =>'/uas/oauth/requestToken?scope=r_basicprofile+r_fullprofile+r_emailaddress+r_network+r_contactinfo',
:access_token_path => '/uas/oauth/accessToken' }
#linkedin_client = LinkedIn::Client.new(key, secret,linkedin_configuration)
end
def auth
init_client
request_token = #linkedin_client.request_token(:oauth_callback => "http://#{request.host_with_port}/linkedin/callback")
session[:rtoken] = request_token.token
session[:rsecret] = request_token.secret
redirect_to #linkedin_client.request_token.authorize_url
end
def callback
init_client
if session[:atoken].nil?
pin = params[:oauth_verifier]
atoken, asecret = #linkedin_client.authorize_from_request(session[:rtoken], session[:rsecret], pin)
session[:atoken] = atoken
session[:asecret] = asecret
else
#linkedin_client.authorize_from_access(session[:atoken], session[:asecret])
end
c = #linkedin_client
c.profile(:fields=>["first_name","last_name","headline","positions","educations"])
end
end
LinkedIn is very particular about access to profile fields and you cannot combine multiple fields which requires 2 different access.
so when you try to get just position details by c.profile(:fields => %w(positions)) it assumes the access of type 'r_basicprofile' whereas educations field require access of type 'r_fullprofile'.so try 2 seperate API calls to retrieve both fields.
"first_name","last_name","headline","positions" available for 'r_basicprofile' member permission,so they can be combined together.
I have a form to create a new Contact model.
I enter the values by hand by cutting and pasting.
Sometimes I end up adding white space on the left and right.
Here is what is in the create controller (I have a loop that checks if I have uploaded a vcard which, obviously, doesn't typically present the problem (although it could) -- but my big problem is when I type it myself.
def create
#contact = Contact.create(params[:contact])
unless #contact.vcard.path.blank?
paperclip_vcard = File.new(#contact.vcard.path)
#vcard = Vpim::Vcard.decode(paperclip_vcard).first
#contact.title = #vcard.title
#contact.email = #vcard.email
#contact.first_name = #vcard.name.given
#contact.last_name = #vcard.name.family
#contact.phone = #vcard.telephone
#contact.address.street1 = #vcard.address.street
#contact.address.city = #vcard.address.locality
#contact.address.state = #vcard.address.region
#contact.address.zip = #vcard.address.postalcode
#contact.company_name = #vcard.org.fetch(0)
end
#contact.user_id = current_user.id # makes sure every new user is assigned an ID
if #contact.save
#check if need to update company with contact info
#contact.update_company
#contact.new_todos #create the todos for the newly created contact
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created contact."
redirect_to #contact
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end

I have a after_create method for my Contact model.
However, when I put the value, it comes out nil. How can I have a callback for a newly created model ( I do a fair amount of transformation in the create model) referenced within the callback method?
after_save :update_company
def update_company
puts self.inspect
puts self.company
if company.phone.empty?
company.phone = self.phone
company.save
end
end
When I look at the logs for self.inspect, it doesn't show any of the transformations used in the create method...yet, this should run only after it has created (and saved), the object, right?
Here is the create method:
def create
#contact = Contact.create(params[:contact])
unless #contact.vcard.path.blank?
paperclip_vcard = File.new(#contact.vcard.path)
#vcard = Vpim::Vcard.decode(paperclip_vcard).first
#contact.title = #vcard.title
#contact.email = #vcard.email
#contact.first_name = #vcard.name.given
#contact.last_name = #vcard.name.family
#contact.phone = #vcard.telephone
#contact.address.street1 = #vcard.address.street
#contact.address.city = #vcard.address.locality
#contact.address.state = #vcard.address.region
#contact.address.zip = #vcard.address.postalcode
#contact.company_name = #vcard.org.fetch(0)
end
#contact.user_id = current_user.id # makes sure every new user is assigned an ID
if #contact.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully created contact."
redirect_to #contact
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
Yes, this happens because you didn't use self when assigning the value to company object.
In ruby, generally you don't require the use have "self" to retrieve attributes of an instance
for example in your code. you can puts company and it would work fine.
but when assigning (on the left hand side ) you always have to use self.
so change this in your code.
self.company.phone = self.phone
company.save
or
self.company.phone = phone
company.save
Could anyone help with this problem:
Upon "create", the user is redirected to the url: model/model_id (eg post/1), instead I am redirected to models/url_encoding_object (eg posts/.%23) and there is an "406 Not Acceptable" message in the console.
Typically, upon create, the console's message is "Processing PostsController#create (for 000.0.0.0 at 2009-11-23 12:32:52) [POST]", but with this error, the message is "Processing PostsController#create to # (for 000.0.0.0 at 2009-11-23 12:32:52) [POST]"
I've seen austinfromboston's response and tried his "old fashioned but effective" solution to that similar problem, but it doesn't work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Controller Code:
# POST /groups
# POST /groups.xml
def create
#group = Group.new(params[:group])
#group.category = params[:category]
#group.user = current_user
#here we add the current user to the membership collection of the group
#membership = #group.memberships.build(params[:membership])
#membership.group = #group
#membership.user = current_user
#membership.initiator = false
#membership.membership_status_id = 2
#and here we set the current_user as the owner of the group
#group_permission = #group.group_permissions.build(params[:group_permission])
#group_permission.membership = #membership
#group_permission.group_role = GroupRole.find_by_name('Owner')
unless params[:metro_area_id].blank?
#group.metro_area = MetroArea.find(params[:metro_area_id])
#group.state = (#group.metro_area && #group.metro_area.state) ?
#group.metro_area.state : nil
#group.country = #group.metro_area.country if (#group.metro_area &&
#group.metro_area.country)
else
#group.metro_area = #group.state = #group.country = nil
end
#group.tag_list = params[:tag_list] || ''
# unless #user.is_in_group?(#group)
# #user.memberships << #group
# end
respond_to do |format|
if #group.save
flash[:notice] = :group_was_successfully_created.l
format.html { redirect_to(group_path(#group.id)) }
else
format.html {
#metro_areas, #states = setup_metro_area_choices_for(#group)
if params[:metro_area_id]
#metro_area_id = params[:metro_area_id].to_i

}
end
end

Looks like either your routes are off somewhere or your model_id parameter is not what you are expecting. Might want to check to see what that parameter is being set to.
It's also really hard to give any suggestions without seeing controller code. Can you post the method making this call?
There's a lot of superfluous code, in your controller. It still works, but you're doing a lot of things the hard way.
Your problem is this line:
format.html { redirect_to(groups_path(#group.id)) }
Which redirects to the collective groups url adding the parameter #group.id.
What it should be is
format.html { redirect_to(group_path(#group.id)) }
# POST /groups
# POST /groups.xml
def create
#group = Group.new(params[:group])
#group.category = params[:category]
#group.user = current_user
#here we add the current user to the membership collection of the group
#membership = #group.memberships.build(params[:membership])
#membership.group = #group
#membership.user = current_user
#membership.initiator = false
#membership.membership_status_id = 2
#and here we set the current_user as the owner of the group
#group_permission = #group.group_permissions.build(params[:group_permission])
#group_permission.membership = #membership
#group_permission.group_role = GroupRole.find_by_name('Owner')
unless params[:metro_area_id].blank?
#group.metro_area = MetroArea.find(params[:metro_area_id])
#group.state = (#group.metro_area && #group.metro_area.state) ? #group.metro_area.state : nil
#group.country = #group.metro_area.country if (#group.metro_area && #group.metro_area.country)
else
#group.metro_area = #group.state = #group.country = nil
end
#group.tag_list = params[:tag_list] || ''
unless #user.is_in_group?(#group)
#user.memberships << #group
end
respond_to do |format|
if #group.save
flash[:notice] = :group_was_successfully_created.l
format.html { redirect_to(groups_path(#group.id)) }
else
format.html {
#metro_areas, #states = setup_metro_area_choices_for(#group)
if params[:metro_area_id]
#metro_area_id = params[:metro_area_id].to_i
#state_id = params[:state_id].to_i
#country_id = params[:country_id].to_i
end
render :action => "new"
}
end
end
end
What is this .1 doing at the end of the line??
flash[:notice] = :group_was_successfully_created.l
I tried to run similar code in my environment and it choked on that.
It should also reference:
group_path(id)
not
groups_path(id)
