Does anyone know if its possible to get a reference to the ConfluenceUserProfile class (com.atlassian.sal.confluence.user.ConfluenceUserProfile) in a macro?
Hi Matt,
Accessing the user profile macro in a velocity template would look like this:
$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{profile:user=Ryan}")
For XHTML like this:
<ac:macro ac:name="profile"> <ac:parameter ac:name="user">admin</ac:parameter> </ac:macro>
To access from a user macro, you could do a modification of this tutorial:

by accessing the methods you would like from the class:

Hope this helps!
Hi Matthew,
Do you mean get a user profile to show up on a page, or in another macro? Is this something you're trying to do programmatically?

Thanks for the response. I was actually trying to get at a specific method on the ConfluenceUserProfile class, but found a way to access it via a different class in my macro.
Glad you were able to figure it out. Please share your solutions if possible so others looking for Answers can bask in your Guru-ness
Well, I was trying to get the profile picture for the creator of a blog post so that I could add a little "About the author" section on each new blog entry (without the author having to do anything).
Turns out I missed the method I needed when first looking over the User class, but it's right there.
In the blog page decorator, you can use the following to get the user profile picture:
## getUser returns an object of type User #set($blogWriter = $userAccessor.getUser($page.getCreatorName()))
## getUserProfilePicture returns an object of type ProfilePictureInfo #set($pic = $userAccessor.getUserProfilePicture($blogWriter))
#set($picPath = $pic.getDownloadPath())
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
