Hey, when I joined using a Facebook account on another site I'm testing this out with, the name assigned in Joomla was fb45563 (i'm making the numbers up but that's the gist of it). So after that FB account logged in, it showed "fb45563" as who was online at the moment, and it wrote that name to the user name field. What am I doing wrong?

Could this be because another user had the same name?

That is what the site calls the facebook users account if the Automatic Registration option is enabled in JFBC it doesn't make a true joomla account.

Mike,
Sean's right. If you have the Registration Flow set to "Automatic", JFBConnect generates the user's name automatically based on information from their Facebook profile. You can change how the name is created with the "Auto Username Prefix (Automatic Registration):" setting. On this site, it's "firlas", so your username was created as 'miklaw', based on the first 3 chars of your first and last name.

Hope that explains,
Alex
