Hi,

I installed the component and configured it and it works great.
I´d like to import a few Facebook fields but I´m using an extension that does not support Community Builder or JomSocial .

I have set up new fields in the jos_user table in the database and I made a custom registration page that includes them.

I need to import information from Facebook such as hometown,gender,age etc. into these db fields.

Has this been discussed somewhere in the forum before and if so can you please show me a link, I havent found any threads.

I have decent knowledge in PHP and I you can point me in the right direction I could probably figure this out.

Please advise.

Best Regards
Ivar Rafn

It hasn't really been discussed. My best suggestion is for you to look at some of the existing profile plugins and copying some of that logic to make you're own importing happen.

In the JFBConnect Permissions area, you can add specific permissions you want to request on login (like hometown, etc) and then can basically recreate a lot of the functionality we have for Community Builder, JomSocial, Kunena, Agora, and K2. Should you have any questions, just let us know.
