FB username as Username

Is there any way to make the people that register with Twitter or Facebook usernames in Joomla automatically be the same as on Facebook or Twitter if they register from there?

Its a shame they don't allow grabbing the user name, but a typical FB move.

Guess since the Auto username prefix.suffix is the only option I have some suggestions for a better implementation for that. IMHO

The current options make pretty ugly usernames. Allowing an admin to set something along the lines of a - or a _ between the first and last with the capitalization as specified by the user and then having an admin defined suffix indicating the registration source would be more elegant. ie 01 through 09 for FB instead of the obvious _fb.

I think John_Smith01 is much prettier and user friendly than john.smith_fb

Seems pretty simple to implement but that probably shows my gross lack of understanding of php.

Thanks for the quick reply and as always excellent customer service.

The difference between first.last option and your examples would be the capitalization and separator.

Actually more than that, it would eliminate the _fb which would brand the user as a FB user which some of my non FB users actually dislike and goof on and replace it with an identifier that would not be as obvious.

There is no "_fb" identifier on the username when the 'Auto Username Prefix' option is set to first.last, firlas, or email.

I do understand that, I just want a way to identify where users have signed up from without their usernames shouting it out.

That said is there a way to identify which users using JFB connect as compared to a regular signup?

Thanks,
