[SOLVED] Cannot edit Twitter name in profile edit

13 years 9 months ago #136856 by digiguy1
Hi Kyle,

On to the Twitter thing.. while working still on the Facebook thing.

I have the CBTW login working, and that is fine. But if I sign in with a Facebook account, and then try to add a Twitter name, when I go into edit, the field does not show up as a CB twitter field to enter the name. I do have the CB field manager twitter_username profile, registration, and published set to yes. But when in regular profile view mode, the field is there but blank, and I have the setting in the Configuration Manager>User Manager Tab>Text to display for empty fields set to "Fill out in Edit your profile above".
When I try to edit it like a normal user(registered level only), it is not there. All fields are set to be seen by registered users. I can see the field in the back-end admin(icon shows it ID visible in Profile, and if I fill that in, it does work for what I want. But I want the user to be able to log in via one method or another, and then set the rest of the fields in one account. All is possible but this twitter_name field.
Further settings on the Twitter Username Field Manager are as follows:
Required?: NO
Show on Profile?: YES
Display field title in Profile?: YES
Searchable in users-lists?: NO
User Read Only?: NO
Show at Registration?: YES
Published: YES

I don't think i am missing anything... am I? If so where could it be?

Thanks so much Kyle, I know I am probably asking a lot of questions.

Sincerely,
Kirk

You're not allowed to edit the twitter name, it's synchronized from Twitter it self. It's not a field for a user to edit and no setting will allow editing it. When a user logins in via Twitter the field will populate.

Thanks Kyle,

I thought I was crazy or something. I always assume I am wrong before the program.
But this causes an issue. A user logs in with facebook, then tries wants to have twitter information on their cb profile as well... this is not possible?
If they go back and log in with a twitter account, will it link into the cb account and add that information in there? I haven't had success with that, as it adds another account that is a twitter account... so much for 1 user account... or again, is this my issue?

Yes, once they login via Facebook they need only login via Twitter. This would synchronize their account to twitter AND facebook.

If they go back and log in with a twitter account, will it link into the cb account and add that information in there?

They need to login via Twitter WHILE logged in to the site, this way the Twitter account will Link instead of creating them another account.
