Coordination of Jomsocial profile privacy setting and JFBConnect was created by petgal

Hi,
Just occurred to me that someone using their Facebook profile to sign up or login would expect that their FB privacy settings to be respected on the site. for example if their profile is not public, then it should not be public on my site if they use Facebook to sign up.

I'm expecting this is configurable somewhere but I'm not seeing where it is. I can see where I can set privacy setting within jomsocial but not within JFBConnect. Can you tell me how to ensure that their FB privacy settings are respected?

Thanks.

Peter,
There isn't a way to do that. When a user accesses your site using JFBConnect, the fields and information that you are requesting from them is shown in the initial authentication popup. The user can choose to allow you access to that information or not. That's how the user can protect against certain information being shown.

The Facebook API doesn't allow us to see the privacy values of the user directly. We can only get the value if the user has granted your app permission to do so. In your privacy policy on your site, terms of service, or elsewhere, you can describe how you will use that information.

Thanks,
Alex
