Note:
sugar.profile is largely depreciated. We are now using gconf for accessing most profile information.
The profile package can be used to get access to user specific details such as his/her nick_name, XO colors, public key, etc. Much of these details are accessed by first creating a Profile object. However, there are several shortcut helper functions that provide access to some user details directly.
Helper Functions
How do I get the user's nick name?
import gconf client = gconf.client_get_default() username = client.get_string("/desktop/sugar/user/nick")
The following code is depreciated:
from sugar import profile ... #prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information prof = profile.get_profile() # Two ways to print nickname: either through profile object, or through a helper function in sugar.profile print prof.nick_name print profile.get_nick_name()
How do I get the XO colors set by the user?
import gconf client = gconf.client_get_default() color = client.get_string("/desktop/sugar/user/color") stroke,fill = color.split(",")
The following code is depreciated:
from sugar import profile ... #prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information prof = profile.get_profile() # Two ways to get the XO colors: through profile object or using helper function print prof.color.to_string() print profile.get_color().to_string()
How do I access this XO's public key?
from sugar import profile ... #prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information prof = profile.get_profile() #Two ways to get the public key for this XO: through Profile object or with helper function print prof.pubkey print profile.get_pubkey()
Class: Profile
How do I get the nick name, color and public key information for this XO?
See the documentation for Helper Functions.
How do I get the school server with which this child is associated?
Method on the 82: DEPRECATED
from sugar import profile ... #prof will refer to a Profile object used to access user information prof = profile.get_profile() #Print out the name of the school server this XO is registered with print prof.jabber_server #Print out whether this XO is actually registered with a school server print prof.jabber_registered
Get school server with both older and new implementations.
from sugar import profile ... prof = profile.get_profile() jabber_serv = None if hasattr(profile, 'jabber_server'): jabber_serv = profile.jabber_server else: import gconf client = gconf.client_get_default() jabber_serv = client.get_string("/desktop/sugar/collaboration/jabber_server")
