Getting Birthday as NULL from Facebook was created by pawan.m

Hi, We are using this code for getting a new usersBirthday from Facebook to complete registration: but getting Birthday as NULL. Can you help?
JFBConnectModelLoginRegister Class in com_jfbconnect/models/loginregister.php:
function autoCreateUser($providerUserId, $provider)
{
$provider->setInitialRegistration();

$profile = $provider->profile->fetchProfile($providerUserId, array('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'full_name','birthday'));

I'm not sure why you're grabbing that information like that. I'd highly recommend using a socialprofile plugin to import the users information on registration, as it will handle fetching the profile data and requesting the proper permissions from the user.

With that said, the issue is likely that the user isn't being asked, or isn't granting, the user_birthday permission. If you request that profile field using a socialprofile plugin, JFBConnect will automatically request that permission. If not, please set that permission as an additional request in the Configuration -> Facebook area.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex
