Community Builder - How do I Map fields?

As always, documentation is an ever-evolving entity, so I've added an issue to our tracker to expand on available fields from each Social Network/configuration of profiles

Yes, the next step will be to go into the Community Builder > Field Manager section and add new fields there for each field you wish to import from Facebook. Which ones you add are really dependent on what profile information you'd like to gather from Facebook on your site. The currently available Facebook fields can be found listed at the top of the components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/profile/facebook.php (and likewise for other social networks).

The field types that JFBConnect currently supports for CB are text, textarea, editor textarea, date or webaddress. So add a new field with one of these types, set the name and title to something unique (title may be displayed to user, so something readable), and set the required/show at registration/published fields as desired.

After you add the field to CB, go back to the JFBConnect > Profiles area. You should see a longer list of CB fields now and can map them to the fields in the Facebook column.

Try that out and let me know if you have any further issues.

Yes, Import Avatar is the correct setting for the avatar image.

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't allow access to the telephone numbers through the API.

There is a mapped field for email. It should be listed as 'Contact - Email' all the way at the bottom of the list of fields.

I see. I read your statement wrong as you had created a new required field for email, but could not find it in the list of available Facebook fields to map.

When the user account is created, whatever the Joomla account's email is that's created will automatically be mapped to that CB required field. On registration, JFBConnect will automatically get the email field from Facebook and pre-populate the Joomla account email. So you shouldn't have to really do anything extra to get that value.

Facebook now requires that you submit your application for approval if you are requesting any permissions beyond the basic permissions (public_profile, user_friends, and email). If you're seeing this, then you have mapped some FB fields that require the extended permissions.

If you are trying to test and authenticate with the admin of the application, you should still be able to login and grant the permissions without seeing this message. However, the app needs to be approved before normal users' profile data can be fetched.

I hope this helps explain the issue.
