The permissions haven't changed since the end of April. Apps created on or after May 1st do have slightly more limited permissions, but even then, all the same data can be gathered... there's just more that needs to be requested of the user. JFBConnect automatically takes care of all this though.

Fields like sex, profilelink and locale should all work. Can you test with other fields and see if they import as well? It'd be helpful to know if things like current location or favorite music import as well to narrow down what may be going wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

sorry, what you mean about "test with other fields and see if they import"? you suggest me to delete existent cb fields and create them again? after this re-mapping data? tx

1. in jfb 6.1 i don't have friends list option in cb fields mapping

We've never had a "Friends" import option. With updates lately on Facebook's end, getting a list of the user's friend is even more difficult and you can only fetch a list of friends of users *that have also authenticated with your application*. You can't get a list of all friends of the user.

2. as described here developers.facebook.com/docs/fa … er_friends it's possible take also user_likes - Access to the list of things a person likes. how?

We don't have an easy way to fetch the user_likes of a user, though it can be done using some API if you want to implement it. Please note that the Likes will only be of the Facebook Pages the user has Like'd, not all content on the web that they have liked.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Are you talking about in the social network integration plugin from CB or a feature we used to have in JFBConnect? I don't believe we've ever had that option. With the new Graph API v2.0, it does look like an easy field to get. Are you looking to just get a total count of the user's friend to store in a field somewhere?

If so, let me know, and I can investigate what it would take to add.

Thanks,
Alex

Ahhh.. I apologize. You are definitely correct. The friend count field was removed in the most recent release due to a change Facebook made where that field was no longer available how we were fetching it.

To restore that functionality, you'll need to edit the /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/profile/facebook.php file. Around line 26, you'll see:
//                'friend_count' => 'User - Friend Count',
Change that to:
'friends.summary.total_count' => 'User - Friend Count',
Then, around line 67, you'll see:
foreach ($fields as $field)
        {
            if (strpos($field, "location") !== false)
                $perms[] = "user_location";
Modify that like below, adding the new request for friend information:
foreach ($fields as $field)
        {
            if (strpos($field, "friends") !== false)
                $perms[] = "user_friends";
            if (strpos($field, "location") !== false)
                $perms[] = "user_location";
As you probably can guess, to get the user's friend count, you now need to request an additional permission from Facebook for 'user_friends'.

I hope that helps, but if you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
