[SalesForce] User Trigger while changing the Chatter Profile Picture

The chatter profile picture url is saved in the User FullPhotoUrl field.

If we try to modify the picture/upload a new picture in the chatter profile image, the trigger in the user object is not triggered.

Is there any way to invoke a trigger when the chatter profile image is modified. 



trigger UpdateChatterPicture on User (after insert, after update) 
{
    List<UserPhoto__c> lstInsertPhoto = new List<UserPhoto__c>();
    List<UserPhoto__c> lstUpdatePhoto = new List<UserPhoto__c>();

    List<UserPhoto__c> lstUserPhoto = new list<UserPhoto__c>();
    Map<Id,UserPhoto__c> MapUserPhotoId = new map<id,UserPhoto__c>();
    List<UserPhoto__c> lstAllUsrPhoto = new List<UserPhoto__c>();

    lstUserPhoto = [select Id, Name, User__c, (select id from attachments) from UserPhoto__c where User__c in: trigger.newmap.keyset()];
    System.debug('Trigger:lstUserPhoto='+lstUserPhoto);

    for(UserPhoto__c userphoto : lstUserPhoto)
    {
        MapUserPhotoId.put(userphoto.User__c , userphoto);
    }
    System.debug('Trigger:MapUserPhotoId='+MapUserPhotoId);
    for(User user : trigger.new)
    {
        if(Trigger.IsInsert && user.isIVExchangeUser__c == true)
        {
            UserPhoto__c photo = new UserPhoto__c();
            photo.Name = user.Name;
            photo.User__c = user.Id;
            photo.PhotoURL__c = user.FullPhotoURL;
            lstInsertPhoto.add(photo);
            System.debug('Trigger:photo='+photo);
        }
        else if(Trigger.IsUpdate && user.isIVExchangeUser__c == true)
        {
            user oldUsr = Trigger.oldMap.get(user.Id);
            if (oldUsr.FullPhotoURL != User.FullPhotoURL)
            {
                UserPhoto__c usrphoto = MapUserPhotoId.get(user.id);
                usrphoto.PhotoURL__c = User.FullPhotoURL;
                lstUpdatePhoto.add(usrphoto);
                System.debug('Trigger:Updatephoto='+usrphoto);
            }
        }

    }

    try
    {
        insert lstInsertPhoto;
        update lstUpdatePhoto;

    }
    Catch(Exception ex)
    {

    }
    lstAllUsrPhoto.addall(lstInsertPhoto);
    lstAllUsrPhoto.addall(lstUpdatePhoto);
    System.debug('Trigger:lstAllUsrPhoto'+lstAllUsrPhoto);

    //calling class to insert attachment
    clsUpdateUserPhotoAttachment.UpdateUserPhotoAttachment(lstAllUsrPhoto);
}

Thanks in advance.

Just reading the other question you posted where your objective is to actually display the chatter photo on a vf page on the portal.

I read you went down this custom object route coz the Api route wasn't playing ball.

You can use the solution in the blog you mentioned (http://blogs.developerforce.com/developer-relations/2011/03/accessing-chatter-user-pics.html) even with a session id, you don't need an oauth token.

To get a sessionId all you need is a login call which you can obtain using the Ajax toolkit http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/ajax/index.htm

Here's a bit of sample code that fetches the photo at page load and redirects to the url

<apex:page>

<script src="../../soap/ajax/26.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript" />
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload = connectRemotely;

function connectRemotely(){
     var result = sforce.connection.login("USERNAME@DOMAIN.COM", "PASSWORD + SECURITY TOKEN");
     alert(result.sessionId);
     window.location.href = "https://c.XXX.content.force.com/profilephoto/USERID/F?oauth_token=" + result.sessionId;
     }
     </script>

</apex:page>
