Topic-icon Remove default foo.bar email address when creating account

Active Subscriptions:

None
Using JFB Connect, I have Facebook users using their credentials and then sent to the details page to add their email address.

Problem: the component creates a bogus email address that always ends in foo.bar.

Solution NEEDED: I would like to remove the email address created so when the user gets to this page and hits save, ultimately forcing them to enter a email address.

Problem: adding a fake email address does not allow for me collect their email address. Adding the bogus foo.bar email when prefilled does not remind the user that i need their email. By having it blank forcers the user to enter the email address.

Example of a bogus email address entered: <!-- e --><a href="This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.">This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.


Any wld be greatly apprecited

This was the response sent in a PM response:

Do you have the "Create New Users" option set to no? If this is set to yes, they should (upon first registration) be sent to a 'quick' registration page which will ask them for their preferred username/password/email address.

I'm not sure where the 'fake' foo.bar email address is coming from. Can you clarify further?


Afterwards, logging into the site, I'm able to see the foo.bar address with a plugin being used to ask he user to update their email address. I would check if you are using 2.1 of the JFBConnect component, and if not, upgrade.

Please try connecting through our demo site and you'll see the new quick registration page which allows the user to enter their correct email at time of registration.

I am using version: 2.1.2 of JFBConnect. But I just realized that the Login module I am using that has the the facebook connect feature is by Jomsocial's latest version. I have posted this question in their forum as well and still no response. The login module supplied by Jomsocial and also the main page for the Jomsocial community has the Connect with Facebook Icon: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.detroitvipclubs.com/index.php?option...=frontpage&Itemid=69">www.detroitvipclubs.com/index.ph ... &Itemid=69

Is this something that you can modify? If so, at this point I have no problem paying a fee for this modification. Please let me know if you are interested.

It is something you can modify manually if you wanted to gut the JFBCLogin module and insert the login/logout functionality into their login module or hello_me module. We're also working on a plugin which will make it much simpler to add a login/logout button anywhere on your site (article, module, template, etc). We're hoping to get it out next week.

Can u help me with what code i should put where in order to put the Jomsocial module features (hello_me) in your JFBCOnnect Module. I like the features for example New Messages, My Photos, My Video etc. Again I preferr to use your module as has better functionality compared Jomsocials.

I am just needing to know what file to get the code from in your JFBmodule ( i am assuming it is in the modules folder pertaining (mod_jfbclogin) either the mod_jfbclogin.php or default.php and paste which code into the (mod_hellome folder) mod_hellome.php file. Again ultimate i would like to use your facebook connect functionality instead of Jomsocials Facebook Connect. I am hoping that you will soon come up with a module that has similiar features as their. But I understand that functionality is more important. Hope you can help. Thanks
