How to display linkedin profile information in Rails

I'm working on an app that will have a linkedin sign in button. Once the user signs in using their linkedin in username and password. I want to display their information on the home page.

Currently I'm using 'omniauth', 'omniauth-linkedin-oauth2' to authenticate the user. The person working on this before me completed the authentication process but I can't understand how to display the users info. The authentication was implemented by following RailsCast #235 & #236 Omniauth Part 1 and 2.

This is the omniauth.rb file.

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :linkedin, 'LINKEDIN_KEY', 'LINKEDIN_SECRET', :scope => 'r_fullprofile r_emailaddress r_network', :fields => ['id', 'email-address', 'first-name', 'last-name']
end

I want to display all the fields from the omniauth.rb file. I understand its a really silly issue but I'm really new to Ruby on Rails so I'd greatly appreciate it if someone can guide me through the process.

Based on the Authentications Controller in Part 2 You can get the fields from the omniauth hash:

omniauth = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
first_name = omniauth[:info][:first_name]
last_name = omniauth[:info][:last_name]
summary = omniauth[:extra][:raw_info][:summary]
headline = omniauth[:extra][:raw_info][:headline]
image = omniauth[:info][:image]
email = omniauth[:info][:email]
token = omniauth[:credentials][:token]
secret = omniauth[:credentials][:secret]
profile_url = omniauth[:info][:urls][:public_profile]

Those are the basic info you need from the authentication hash, if you need more data, you can use the following gem (using the user's token):

gem 'linkedin-oauth2', '~> 0.1.1'
