Hi,

I will be getting Jomsocial later, but will get JFBC and install first.

My question is, if users register and login with JFBC and import the data to their account on the site from facebook, what happens to currently registered users when I install Jomsocial? Will this data be fed into Jomsocial when they log in automatically, or will the user have to fill out their details manually?

Thanks,

Del.

Del,
JFBConnect itself doesn't store any additional profile information from Facebook. For Joomla, we only import the user's name and email address. We rely on 3rd party systems, like JomSocial, for storing additional profile data.

So, if you start with just JFBConnect, you'll allow your users to easily register on your site and log back in using their Facebook credentials. Once you install JomSocial, you can configure JFBConnect to automatically import the user's Facebook profile data into JomSocial whenever they login to the site.

I hope that explains, but if not, or you have any other questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
