Hi,

when using JFB without Community Builder it automatically created a user name based on Facebook Id like fb_123455666. That is created as it's pretty GUID like. When I use it in connection with Community Builder as user name is created like "firstname lastname".
Issue: If the user is called John Smith you will sooner or later get clashed with existing user names which need to be unique. Any chance to get fb_123456 functionality there as well?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what your issue is. Yes, when "Facebook User Only" is set in JFBConnect, we create a username like fb_12345 (where the number is actually your FB user ID). This is done, specifically so, like you say, there are no clashes.

How are you configuring your Community Builder, and JFBConnect, installations and how is the username being set to "John Smith". Is this during initial registration (using Facebook), or is this if a user has an account on your site already and is trying to 'connect' it to their Facebook account?

Sorry for the questions. There's been a few corner issues with CB lately that we're trying to wrap our heads around, but it's with specific configurations and can be difficult to duplicate. Any feedback you can give is much appreciated!

Hi,

haven't changed much in JFBC. Only activated Community Builder integration and mapped first anem nd last name fields (only first name, middle, last name to map). When I now create a new user via Login via Facebook, then the new real name in community builder is "first name + last name". So far so good. But the user name is also "first name + last name". Without Community Builder it had the FB id.

Login later with JFBC works fine. No worries. I'm only concerned that the community user name is not really a unique name. Expecting clashed there going forward.

Let me know what settings you need to know to diagnosis issue better,

We're investigating. It may take a few days to come up with a solution, just so you know.. but we think yours, and a few other CB issues, may be related.

Could you tell us your CB settings for the below 2 fields (on the General tab in configuration):
Name Style:
Name Format:

Thanks!
