How to access user names and profiles with django-allauth

Question

I'm using Django with django-allauth for social authentication.

I have authentication up and running, but can anyone give simple examples of how to:

• show the name and avatar of a logged-in user
• add some information to a user's account?

For example, on the home page, I've got

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<li><a href="{% url account_logout %}?next=/">Logout</a></li>
{% endif %}

That's showing the Logout link correctly, but how would I add the user's name and avatar?

Something like (pseudocode):

<p>You're logged in with {{ user.account_provider? }} as {{ user }}.</p>
<img src="{{ user.avatar_url }}" />

Then, if I want to add extra properties to the user's profile, what do I do? Should I be using some other Django user-related app?

Thanks for your help.

A SocialAccount model instance is available for users who signed up using their social account.

In your template, you can simply write:

Avatar URL: {{ user.socialaccount_set.all.0.get_avatar_url }}
UID: {{ user.socialaccount_set.all.0.uid }}
Date Joined: {{ user.socialaccount_set.all.0.date_joined}}
Last Login: {{ user.socialaccount_set.all.0.last_login}}

And for Full Name: {{ user.socialaccount_set.all.0.extra_data.name }}
