Topic-icon [Suggestion] About "Always Import Profile Data"

Active Subscriptions:

None
If we use "Always Import Profile Data" in the integration of CB/Kunena, it takes quite long time when users login as the system need to check and update the avatar/data each time.

I suggest we could add a button/link in mod_jfbclogin for user to update their avatar and user data manually after they login in.

It's a good suggestion, and something we'll take note of. Some of the delay is also from how Facebook currently recommends you get profile data. It can take a few roundtrips to them asking for specific profile fields (some can get lumped together, but others can't). We already have a revised/improved system to minimize this in development. It's an approved method, just more complex than the recommendation.

The last few point releases have had some speed improvements, and the 3.1 release, we're going to be really focusing on the profile integration in numerous ways. I think we'll be able to squeeze some more speed out of logging in at that time. If not, we'll probably look into things like this, but it could get confusing for users... we like less buttons :)

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, that as well as a few other messages, are still hard-coded in the files. We have a task logged to move these to the language file in the 3.1 version. In the meantime, if you would like to update it manually, that specific string can be found in the /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/facebook.php file. Open that up and search for the string and you'll find it about 1/3 of the way down.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
