Topic-icon How to save Facebook login user email and name to Joomla's database?

Hello,
I have Joomla 1.7 and JFBConnect 4.0.1 installed.
If I don't have Jomsocial, or Community Builder, is there a way to pull usernames, emails from Facebook and store them into Joomla's user database?
I once read that creating a custom module might collect Facebook login user info and save them to Joomla user profile. How does this work?

Thanks

Stephen,
The user's email address and full name will be imported into the Joomla user table always, regardless of whether you have JS or CB installed. The username can be either automatically created by JFBConnect or entered by the user during registration, depending on how you configure JFBConnect.

If those are the only fields you need, you wouldn't need JS or CB to store that information. If you're looking for extended information (hometown, education, bio, etc), you'd need another extension to store that data, or would need to create a custom profile plugin to store it to a custom table.

Hello, Alex:
In JFBConnect configuration, User Map is the place I saw login users. Usernames and emails are the only fields I need. How can I make a list for login users?

Thanks

Stephen,
I'm not sure what you mean by a "list for login users"? The User Map area will show a little bit of information about the user that has connected their account. If you click on their name in the "Joomla User" column, it will take you to the Joomla User Manager for that user, which will show their full name, email, and username, which was created through JFBConnect (if they registered via Facebook).

Hope that helps explain,
Alex

Hi, Alex:
Thanks for your explanation of how JFBConnect work with registration users. My requirement is to collect login users' names and emails for sending members' newsletter. I was wondering how can I achieve thru JFBConnect or backend of Joomla user manager.

Stephen,
JFBConnect will automatically put the user's name and email address into the Joomla User Manager when they register. If you want to get this information out, there's are tools available to export to CSV or other formats:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migrati...sers-import-a-export

If you're using a newsletter component for Joomla, most of them will (or at least should) use the core-Joomla user table for getting that information, so they should work automatically.

Hope that helps, but if you need more help, just let us know,
Alex

Hello, Alex:
I'll try either Userport or ARRA User Export Import to pull user profile data to CSV file. If further questions came along, I'll let you know. Thanks for the help.

Sounds good. I really don't know those extensions, but they seem reasonable for what you're looking for. Should you need more help though, just let us know!

Thanks,
