First, I absolutely love JFBConnect. It is brilliant!

I am now running JomSocial 4.3 which has a new location feature so that members can see who is near them etc. Normally this uses a new 'location' field which has been introduced.

My question is whether it is possible to link the Facebook location field to the new JomSocial location field? It seems that somehow I am getting a default location for users registered via JFBConnect (from Facebook and Google+) but it does not seem to be the correct location, and I have no way to map the FB location fields (for example) to the new JomSocial field.

Best wishes
James

When you have the 'Social Profiles - JomSocial' plugin enabled, you can map the social profile data into the JomSocial profile fields by configuring the JFBConnect > Profiles area. However, there are only certain field types that we currently map into, such as text box, gender, url, date, birthdate. Is the location field a different type than those or is it just a text box? If it's a new type, I'll have to look into a code change to support it.

Hi Melissa

It seems that the location field is a new 'type'. See attached screenshot.

James
