Facebook Avatar sync with EasySocial

When a new user registers with social media such as Facebook, their Avatar is brought over to the site, but it seems as if it has not been assigned since it does not show. The default system avatar remains published. Then if you go into 'change avatar' in ES, you notice that the Facebook avatar is actually there, so you select and save and then it works.

This has been happening for a while now, new users seem to all have the default avatar, not great.

Can you please advice how we can resolve this?

Just got this comment from Mark at StackIdeas:

"You need to check this with Alex because if the registration is going through JFBConnect, their script should be setting the default avatar for the user. If it isn't, it means that their script isn't setting it."

Our version is 1.4.3 - the latest ES version.

Alex... Any update on this?

It was working before.

Ddi you see the comments from Mark:

"You need to check this with Alex because if the registration is going through JFBConnect, their script should be setting the default avatar for the user. If it isn't, it means that their script isn't setting it."

Alex, just looked into it and indeed we had this once before in June. You then fixed it and it was all good until one of the recent updates.

See: Message - www.sourcecoast.com/forums/pms/message?msg_id=6613

"We are having an issue with the users Avatars not coming through on ES after they used JFBC to register with the social account, e.g. Facebook.

I have logged a ticket with StackIdeas and Mark has replied saying the following:

"Based on what I am seeing on the site, JFBConnect most likely did not insert the appropriate information in the avatars table of EasySocial. Hence, these avatars aren't appearing in EasySocial. It's best that you get in touch with Alex from Sourcecoast to take a look into this. When a user signs up with JFBConnect, the entire process are handled by JFBConnect." "


Can you please get back to me urgently on this as it has been causing issues with some of our users.


Thanks,


Andrew

Hi Alex,

Thanks for that... However, the EasyBlog one was not due to a conflict between multiple extensions, it was an issue in EasyBlog. See response below from SI:

"Thanks for pointing out the line of code. It seems like calling multiple times of JRoute::_() causing EasyBlog router failed to build the sef link at backend Anyway, we manage to fixed the issue

Attached the updated router.php, can you download this router.php and copy the file to folder 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/' and overwrite the existing 'router.php'. Remember to backup the original router.php file first before you overwrite with the updated version.

This file should fix your sef issue when autoposting to facebook from EasyBlog backend
The same fix will be added into next release of EasyBlog "

Anyway... as Mark suggested this:

"Based on what I am seeing on the site, JFBConnect most likely did not insert the appropriate information in the avatars table of EasySocial. Hence, these avatars aren't appearing in EasySocial. It's best that you get in touch with Alex from Sourcecoast to take a look into this. When a user signs up with JFBConnect, the entire process are handled by JFBConnect."

Did you check that?

Anyway, our settings:

* Social Profiles - EasySocial enabled (of course) - YES
* Always import, avatar import and cover photo import are all enabled in the JFBConnect -> Profiles area - OURS IS SET TO 'NO'
* Enable Automatic Registration is set to 'Yes' in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area - WAS SET TO 'NO', BUT NOW SET TO 'YES'
* Registration Component is set to 'JFBConnect' (This really doesn't have any effect, since we're using Auto registration though) - YES

All images are brought across, but is not active it still displays the default images.
