1. As title, in integration with Jomsocial, there's a option called "Show Non-Mapped Required Fields" but it's only useful for "Full Facebook user".
I suggest it be used for "Facebook User Only" as well, as it could help the website to gather the user's information besides those in Facebook profile.
Any quick hack for it? If no, is it possible to show "index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&view=loginregister" for for "Facebook User Only"? I can customize the layout myself.

2. A separate question, could you tell me which file and function (not view file) is used to control this form for "Full Facebook user" registration? I would like hide the field of username, password and "confrim email address".

Thanks a lot.

Anson,
1) For the Show Fields to Facebook User Only, what are you looking to do? When you set it to Full Joomla User, the only additional fields they'd need to fill out are a username and password. We've had this request before, but simply decided that if you wanted to add 5 extra fields (lets say), you might as well just add the username/password fields too, which ultimately give the user more flexibility.

2) I'm assuming this is for the same reason as #1 above. If you hide those fields, JFBConnect will -not- automatically generate them a username like the Facebook User Only process. JFBConnect expects that if that page is shown that the username and password will be filled out. If you want to hide fields, it's done in the /components/com_jfbconnect/views/loginregister/view.html.php file. Be careful though. As mentioned, simply hiding the fields may cause more problems than you expect.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for your reply, Alex

1. To enable "Show Non-Mapped Required Fields" for "Facebook User Only", is it because my site only allow user to login via Facebook connect button(more convenient and have better control of member's quality, it maybe a trend in future) and hence I don't want to show the username&PW fields for users at registration. But I really want user to compulsorily provide some information when they register(usually not available in Facebook profile). PS: I am using Jomsocial as member system.

Any idea how to achieve it by setting? If no simple setting, could you please give me some hints for hacking~? Thanks
