In my next discourse project, users will only register/login via twitter connect. I need to add the ability to retrieve the twitter profile picture when people register/login via this twitter connect.
When do you need it done?
Asap
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
I can do this. I should have some time to get started on it next week, and then have it done within a month (depending on the complexity).
Would the Discourse team prefer this as a plugin or, since Twitter is supported by default, as a PR? Bonus points if I build some sort of avatar importer api for other auth systems to hook into?
Great. Do you think it’s possible to add bio + website too ?
Me, i’m interested only by Twitter, because it’s a twitter only login forum, but i think Facebook profile picture importer is a good feature too.
I Think it can be a pull request as @codinghorror said here :
Maybe we can have options to select which informations we want to import : profile picture, bio, website, location… (for twitter, fields are same than discourse)
Other question, if a user change informations on twitter, for example if he change his profile picture, will it change on the discourse profile on his next login ?
I mean, is twitter connect, update informations at each twitter login, or only the first time for the registration ?
Yeah, we’d be happy to sponsor this. It’s a fairly frequent request:
Please make a topic in dev to outline how you’re planning to approach this so that we can get on the same page before you put more time into making a PR.
