Hi, Can I create a sync with FB and LinkedIn button that will automatically sync the info from FB and LinkedIn after the user has signed in and created an account?
Thanks. See image attached.

There was no image attached. After you upload it, please make sure you hit the green arrow to insert it into a post.

As for a sync button, we don't have one like you're looking for right now. That's something we're hoping to add over the next few releases (this summer it should be in there). The main thing is trying to give the user some control over what's imported so that if you, the admin, has many things mapped, clicking 'sync' doesn't override a lot of data the user may have entered manually.

I hope that helps answer your question, but if you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for your response.
Would you be able to recommend a Joomla extension that would be able to integrate with FBConnect and serve the purpose of syncing user information post-login?
Thanks.

No, I wouldn't. It would have to be something that understands JFBConnect and whatever 3rd party extension you'd be working with to store the profile information. That's likely something that's best done in JFBConnect itself (and, again, is planned), but I'm not aware of any other extension that does such a thing.

Sorry I can't help more right now. If you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks.
It would definitely be a good feature to include in the next release.
Could you kindly advise as to when this feature will be available via JFBConnect?

Charis,
Sorry for the delayed response. We're planning to add features to let the user more easily manage their connections to social networks (make / break connections) and re-import their profile information in the 6.1 release. If all goes well, that will be out around mid/late May.

As with all software development, features may change, so I can't make any guarantee. The feature you're looking for is definitely high on our priority list, so if it doesn't make the 6.1 release, it'd be in 6.2 during this summer.

Thanks,
Alex
