Topic-icon New profile in Facebook & a layout issue

Active Subscriptions:

None
Few months ago, Facebook introduced a new profile, which some field changed and some field and category deleted.
I found that JFConnect uses the old profile field mapping, I think it should be changed to new version.

Second, for the mod_jfbclogin and after an user login, is it possible to move the "logout" button at the right hand side of same line as the welcome message?
Some template designed a topbar to place the login module while it just has a line height....please help=]

Facebook changes things on the surface a bit, but usually, the underlying data is the same. So, while the profile field name may change, many times, it's similar data underneath. For example, they've used sex & gender at different times, they've expanded the "School" information into High School and College, etc. For us though, we generally access this data in the same way.

If you know of specific fields we're missing, or that aren't working, let us know. We'd love to look into it more and find the problem. The database we have access to for profile information in Facebook is available below. If there's something wrong/missing, again, let us know. There have been plenty of times in the past where we've missed changes in Facebook, so we love getting this stuff pointed out to us if you think we're out of the loop!

The "Bio" field is what you're looking for. Test that out, and see if it's what you're looking for. If not, you know where to find us!

Got problem with JomSocial and 3.1.1~~

After accept all request from JFConnect, a user account is created in JomSocial and Joomla system. But No avatar and any profile data is imported....and I don't find a new user account in User Map of JFConnect....could you help check my setting from the attachment? (I could provide backend access if you need)

PS: I have used the build-in Facebook connect plugin in JomSocial and it works in all aspects! Don't know why JFConnect fails.....

Check to ensure that the JFBConnect User plugin is still ordered after the Joomla user plugin. If you look at the JFBConnect Overview page, make sure there's not any errors (the ordering issue should be called out).

If that looks good, you may want to try setting the "Always import profile data" to yes (temporarily) to see if that fixes your problem. If so, let us know.

If you'd like us to just quickly check, feel free to send us a Super Admin account, and we'll gladly get in there.

Thanks

Solved now, problem caused by the order of user plugin....I misunderstood the meaning....= =Sor~~

By the way, from testing in Jomsocial, I think the function of "Import user status from Facebook" great, when user login, we can grab their status. They don't need to type the same thing again.~~

Usually I got "cannot connect to hosting" error when user login, is it because my hosting is too slow?

Thanks=]

No problem. Glad you got it going. We'll try to re-word the plugin ordering comment to make it more obvious.

We agree the status import will be great once we get it in there.
