I have the "Import Avatar" option set to Yes and the "Always Import Profile Data:" set to No and was hoping that each time a user logs in to my site with their Facebook account, there profile pic would be updated, however this is not the case. Is it supposed to work that way?
(Note that I am using the {JFBCLogin} for user login rather than SCLogin module.)

On a related note, assuming above worked, is there a way that a user could select if they wanted their profile avatar to be imported from Facebook each time or not (a user setting?)

Thanks

Buzzy,
The "Always Import Profile Data" set to no is why it isn't being imported on login. That setting is what JFBConnect uses to determine if any information about the user, including the avatar, should be imported on login instead of just during registration.

We're looking into a method to add a "Import Profile" link anywhere on your site that a user can click on themselves to import their data whenever they want. It would work by simply importing all information that you (the admin) have configured to import. However, I can see having some options/settings for profile data and/or avatar.

Hope that answers your question, even if it's not exactly the answer you were looking for.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks - it's sort of the answer I was half expecting =) I think some users would love to be able to auto update their profile picture on my site each time they log in to match changes on their Facebook profile so great if you could add that. Re-importing full profile button or similar is good also but I wouldn't say it was as high on my 'wish list' as just the avatar.

As a little bit of feedback, maybe the current option setting about "Import Avatar" could be indented under the "Always Import Profile Data:" to show the two are linked (or even hide the avatar option if the Import option is not selected?)

Many thanks

Buzzy,
Definitely appreciate the feedback. We've taken a task note to at least re-organize the settings to make it more clear how the Import Avatar and "Always Import Data" settings are related. Adding the ability just import avatar vs all profile info on login was also added, which should be pretty do-able. It likely won't be a feature until our next big release, which won't be until at least September, but I think it's likely it would go in that release.

Hope that helps, and thanks again for your feedback,
Alex
