Facebook profile information retrieving

Yes, absolutely. If you're using JomSocial, Community Builder, or any of the other extensions we support with our Social Profile, that feature is already implemented. If you have your own forms, or are using an extension that doesn't currently have a profile plugin for it, then you'd need to add some PHP to the view for that page to pull the user's info and pre-populate it.

Let us know what extension you're working with, the type of form you're trying to fill out (registration, contact us, submission for something, etc) and we can give a little code snippet that should help. You'd still need to do some development on your end though.

We already have a profile plugin for Virtuemart2. With that, you can easily create VM fields and then choose what data to import from FB into those fields.

Hope that helps,

Those fields in the default.php file are set either from the standard Joomla registration form, the User - Profile plugin (included with Joomla) or from our Social Profiles plugins.

If you want to store into your own database table, the best thing to do is create your own Social Profile plugin. You can copy something like the Kunena or K2 socialprofile plugin and update the code as necessary. With that, you can easily import any field from Facebook (or LinkedIn) into your custom table. Additionally, by using a socialprofile plugin, you won't be modifying JFBConnect directly, which will make sure that if upgrade the component your changes won't be lost.

Hope that helps,

No problem. If you have any other questions or need help, just let us know. It's probably best to start a new topic though since I have a feeling your questions will be more specific and different than the original topic of this thread.

Thanks,
