importing from Facebook
We currently don't have this as a feature. I have added it to our tracker to investigate for a future release.1. Is it possible to import the Facebook 'canvas' image (the large background image, not the profile image) to Community Builder as the user profile canvas image?
Right now we support gender as a text field only.2. I guess it's not possible to make the Facebook gender field to a male/female drop down CB field?
Facebook has removed the functionality to import City, State and Country separately. It is all in one combined field. This is not something we have control over. If you want special logic to break it apart, that is something customized that you will have to do yourself. We have no plans to implement this.3. I have a CB field called 'City' and I'd like to map just the city to it when importing from Facebook. I have chosen 'Basic info - Current city, state'. This might work find with Facebook profiles of people living in the U.S. when it contains, e.g., 'Austin, TX'. However, outside the US, e.g., in Europe, this field seems to actually contain 'city, country' such as 'Berlin, Germany'. This destroys a bit the mapping to just city, as the user would have to delete half the string after signing up via Facebook. Could this be adapted somehow to also work for non-US addresses?
3.b) somewhat related, I have a CB field 'country' which I'd like to map the country to. Is there a way to get the country from Facebook somehow and map it to a field in CB?
Joomla is generating this text and it would be extremely hard to remove from code. The best we can suggest is to add some CSS to hide that:4. When hiding all the fields on the JFBConnect sign-up form that can be configured in JFBConnect -> Configuration -> Normal registration, it still shows the string 'Required fields* ' but without any fields. Any chance that could be hidden as well when it doesn't show any of username, password, name, email address?
div#jfbc_loginregister_newuser span.spacer {
display:none;
}Here's a quick workaround right now to add an asterisk if the field is required. I will add this to the tracker also.4.b) related, I'd like to only show the fields required per Community Builder for registration at this JFBConnect sign-up form. That works. But none of these mandatory fields have neither the usual CB style icons to indicate its mandatory or visible on profile. Nor does it show e.g. an asterisk that would indicate they're mandatory. That would be very useful.
