I have the following code in my sessions controller which saves information such as Facebook friends, likes, and a user profile to my DB. The profile includes the user's location and gender but it gets saved into the DB as a string so I can't extract it.
@graph = Koala::Facebook::GraphAPI.new(current_user.token)
current_user.profile = @graph.get_object("me")
current_user.likes = @graph.get_connections("me", "likes")
current_user.friends = @graph.get_connections("me", "friends")
current_user.save
Going into the console, I can get the profile of the last user via:
u = User.last.profile
But this doesn't let me call for the location specifically, like:
User.last.profile.location
User table looks like
create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
t.string "provider"
t.string "uid"
t.string "name"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
t.string "token"
t.string "likes"
t.string "profile"
t.string "location"
t.string "interests"
t.string "birthday"
t.string "activities"
t.string "friends"
end
like this?
graph = Koala::Facebook::API.new(@oauth_token)
@user = graph.get_object("me")
location = @user["location"]["name"]
