Any response?

Cezz,

On the email...

Might be a silly question...do you have the option checked to verify the users email?

**cezz** · 06-30-2011, 09:25 PM

It's not about verification

IMO you can download users e-mail address [from Facebook's basic informations] to Pligg, if user connects with FB.

See...silly question..

I don't have the function to verify on so I cant stand in your shoes.

Isn't the email pulled into the database if it's on?

**cezz** · 06-30-2011, 09:40 PM

That's the point, in the database there is no e-mail [blank space] of Facebook connect users :/

You are correct that we don't pull in the user's Facebook email address currently and associate it with their account. I'll look into whether that's possible and if so add it in to a future version.

Hi,
You might want to look into this one which made for Joomla sites - JFBConnect - BIS Downloads. Business-In-Site.com downloads - range of downloads useful to e-business. Includes Free Joomla extensions, joomla templates, free icons and other free resources , made by Sourcecoast - it does pull in the FB details including email address & includes them into the Joomla database..... it's the best of it's kind for Joomla sites (....and is now being used on the JED - Joomla Extensions Directory - site, which is the official stamp of excellence for any plugin......).

Hope this helps you,
Cheers,
Karen.

Module updated to version 3.2 today. This new version will import user email addresses from Facebook. It also removes the Captcha and Email validation features from the module's configure area in the admin panel since we no longer make use of that.

Is it possible to logout of facebook connect users on pligg without actually logoff on facebook.com?

I'll look into that. We are also going to be making changes to the Twitter Module so that it will function similarly to the latest version of the Facebook Connect module.
