[SOLVED] pulling location data from fb

13 years 3 months ago - 13 years 2 months ago #152284 by mgs
hello,

on www.joomlapolis.com/cb-solutions/add-ons it says that fb connect pulls (a) name, (b) email address and (c) profile image from the fb account. is this a complete listing? what about the location (city)? that would be terrific indeed.

would the incubator version enable this? when i look at this www.joomlapolis.com/images/stories/incubator/cbconnect.png, it doesnt seem to.

Personal information is not retrieved. We only pull what is necessary to create a user within CB and Joomla. Facebooks won API does not respect user privacy controls so we've opted to avoid the issue all together by not requesting anything further.

No, CB Connect also only obtains what is necessary.

who would have thought that...there are still people outthere who respect the privacy of others those days. wow thumbs up! :)

reason why i asked was because im working on the integration with vm and there the city field is necessary. i wanted to make it as conveniant as possible. so user have to provide that info anyways.

btw, your trigger and vm plugins do most certainly rock!!! (though right now im fighting with the vm country drop down triggering)
