Hi, I am able to fetch the fb data when I make all the required fields in community builder as non-required.
So how to add the required fields of community builder here ?
awesomescreenshot.com/031sd92b4
I have undermentioned fields as required and want to fetch the data of these fields + some more fields like fav quote, about me etc.
cb_usertype
name
username
password
email
cb_pinnumber
cb_homezipcode
cb_currentzipcode

And I see that you mentioned somewhere that only (text/textbox) fields can be fetched . So what if I want to fetch details of 'integer' type field ? and like this.
And this is very urgent . Site has to go live public today itself.
Else we can discuss over a call for the solution of this.

Regards,
Atul Sharma

name, username, password, and email are all automatically fetched by JFBConnect, so those can be marked as required.

The other fields are not data that you'd be able to fetch from Facebook as zip code and pin number are not fields that are accessible in a user's Facebook profile. Additionally, user_type is not something Facebook is aware of or would be able to provide information about. So those are not fields that you'd be able to import from Facebook.

If there's a specific 'integer' type field you want to get from Facebook, let us know what information your trying to grab and we'll help how we can. It doesn't seem like the information you want from Facebook is there to get at all though.

Hope that helps,
Alex

One final bit of information I keep forgetting to mention. If you need those fields filled out at registration, you can always show them to the user to have them manually enter them. Simply set the Registration Flow to "Normal" in JFBConnect and then in the Profiles area, make sure you've setup the Community Builder plugin to show profile fields during registration.

That will still let you fetch some information from Facebook while also asking for required information that can't be fetched.

Hope that helps,
Alex
