I was just visiting a site and decided to use their facebook connect to login (since i use that now on my site) and something interesting came up. After putting in my facebook info, I then got a screen that said "Giant Bomb requires your email address. Allow Giant Bomb to contact me at:" then it gave my facebook login email. it gave me the option to either use my facebook email or use a fake email (like the one they get when logging in with community builder FB connect). I attached an image so everyone can see what i am talking about. Is there anyway to set the FB connect to do this? I wasn't sure if it was a coding thing on the other website that made it happen or if this was an actual option. The reason this would be so nice for me is i use virtuemart and when a person signs in with facebook and is given a fake email, if they don't know to change their email i have no way of contacting them about their purchase.

I am not a developer but I think it looks like additional coding. Could you tell me if this is even possible? On the developer site they say to do the following:

Using require_login with the Server Side API
If you are using the PHP client with a canvas application or Facebook Connect site, you need to pass the required_permissions parameter to require_login.

$fb = new Facebook('[API KEY]', '[APP SECRET]');
$fb->require_login($required_permissions = 'email,read_stream');

Then

Once the user grants your application or site the email permission, use fql.query or fql.multiquery to get the user's email address. Query the email field in the user FQL table.

$query = "SELECT email FROM user WHERE uid="$uid";
$result = $facebook->api_client->fql_query($query);

Any of this possible? I am willing to do the work myself i would just need to know what files need to be updated.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any possible way you can tell me what files need to be edited? Like i said, i am very willing to do the work and even risk "breaking" my plug in. But reading the below doesn't tell me (not real versed in programming, but know a little) what exact files need to be updated. The other question i would have is are you using the PHP client or a JavaScript client? Depending on the one you use will determine what code i need to use. Thanks again.

Thanks! I will see what i can do.
