Ruby on Rails: how to use facebooker2 to get profile pictures from users when they are not logged in on my app

So I am playing with facebooker2. I already know how to display current user's profile picture when they are logged in. However, I am interested in display the profile pictures of other users on my app as well. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I have asked for offline permission already, but I am not really sure what would be the next step.

Could anyone please give some hints maybe? Thank you very much!

if you need the small avatar, then just do it with the image tag

<%= image_tag "http://graph.facebook.com/#{@user.facebook_id}/picture" %>

If you have facebook uid of user then you can show his picture. You don't need any permission for this.

With facebooker2 you have helper as fb_profile_pic(facebookUserUid, OptionHash)

by this way following code works for me- 

<%= fb_profile_pic(current_facebook_profile.id, {:size => 'square' }) %>

For offline users - 

<%= fb_profile_pic(user.fb_user_uid, {:size => 'square' }) %>

As i store facebook uid in fb_user_uid column.
