Issue with import FB pic

If you have the "Always Import Profile" setting enabled in JFBConnect, it will import it when they login. There's no way to have JFBConnect go and re-fetch everyone's Facebook avatar as we'd need to determine if the avatar was the default or not, and then decide whether to overwrite whatever they have set.

So, for now, the best option is to leave the Always Import Profile setting enabled and as users log back into the site their avatars will be re-imported.

Hope that helps,

Sougatab,
There's no option to let you just import the avatar during login. However, there's a pretty easy modification you can try that will force the user's avatar to be updated. Please understand that it will overwrite the user's avatar even if they already have one set.

If you'd like to try it, please edit the /plugins/jfbcprofiles/jomsocial/jomsocial.php file. Around line 63, you'll see the jfbcProfilesOnLogin function. In that function at the very bottom, add the line below right before the closing '}' mark:Test, a lot, and make sure it works how you expect.

Hope that helps, but if not, let us know!

Thanks,
Alex

Sougatab,
We already have a task on our to-do list to add the option for users to re-fetch their profile information. At first, this will likely re-pull all information (fields and avatar) that you have configured in your admin area, but we'll try to keep it in mind to let the user select what is pulled in.

Right now, there's no such option like that, so my suggestion above is still what I'd recommend if you want to update everyone's avatar with their Facebook avatar as they login.

Hope that helps, and thanks for your feedback!

It would be. That gets very complex very quickly though to do in a clean manner. Some sites import tons of information from Facebook, other's only import a field or 2. Letting the user choose or building JFBConnect in a way that works across thousands of sites makes it difficult to make a great system for letting the user select the profile fields to import.

It's something we'd love to do, and are always looking for ways to improve things, so hopefully we'll get it in there some day.

Thanks again for the feedback, and best of luck,
Alex

You can update it from the JFBConnect Overview page in the admin area or re-download the whole package from our site. The new release also adds Open Graph plugins, which are new, so you may want to download the whole package anyways so you can install the proper plugins.

Hope that helps,
Alex
