Jomsocial Field mapping

Phil,
In the Profiles area of JFBConnect, you can import Facebook profile fields into any fields of JomSocial, required or not. We have an extra option to additionally show required fields during the registration process if you'd like to have the user be able to fill those out (in case you can't import that info from Facebook).

As for auto-pulling data, we'll fill in the profile fields you 'map', JFBConnect will do that automatically. If you have the "User Creation" setting of JFBConnect set to "Facebook User Only", the Joomla account will be created automatically (no registration form) and that info will be pulled from Facebook. If that setting is configured to "Joomla User Only", we'll pull what information from Facebook we can, and the user will see the registration form to fill in the rest.

Hope that helps, but if you need more info, just let us know!

Phil,
Birthday imports is actually planned for the v4.2 release, in April. We haven't investigated the best way to do it yet, or I'd tell you how to right now. Hopefully you can wait a few weeks for a solution, but if we figure something out sooner, I'll post back here when we do.

Thanks,
Alex

Phil,
Wanted to circle back on this post. We just implemented birthdays in the JomSocial profile plugin for the upcoming release. It was much, much simpler than we anticipated since we already supported "Date" fields from JomSocial. Feel free to make the 2 minor changes below, test, and let us know how it goes!

Edit the /plugins/jfbcprofiles/jomsocial.php file. Around line 343, change:to:
And around line 450, change:to:
Let us know how that goes and if you run into any issues. Again, this will be in the 4.2 release, coming out later this month.

Thanks,
Alex

Glad to hear that got you going. That change, along with a bit of other improvements for profile importing, will be in the 4.2 release later this month.

Good luck,
Alex
