Hi,
Just purchased the JFBConnect (v5.0.1) component and trying to configure it for JomSocial (v2.8.4.2) for Joomla (2.5.6).

I have a couple of questions regarding jomsocial profile import from facebook at registration.

Is there a way to import Mobile Number, Graduation Degree, and Graduation Date? I'd like to add those fields to jomsocial profile.
Gender and Country are 'Lists' and are not being populated. Is there a way to get them populated without modifying jomsocial.php file?

Thanks!

Mobile number cannot be fetched from Facebook at all. That's not a setting that can be imported for privacy reasons, and no application can do that.

Graduation Degree is an option in the drop-down and you should be able to easily select it to import into a JomSocial Field. The same goes for the Graduation Date.

Gender and Country are settings we'll likely be adding support in an upcoming release for importing into lists. There are some modifications we can help guide you through to add to the jomsocial.php file, but you will need to make some modifications to do so. They are pretty straightforward though. The biggest issue is ensuring that the values you have available in the lists in JomSocial are *exactly* the same as what would be imported from Facebook.

I hope that helps,
Alex
