How to get Facebook user data,using Facebook Connect Logon webpart
When a new user gets created in the Kentico database using Facebook Connect Logon webpart with an id like facebookid_1087464523 and full name Facebook ID-1087464523.

How does one get data like:
1) Username.
2) Full name.
3) Email.
4) first name, last name.

Instead of their respective id.

I am using Kentico v5.5

Regards,
Ranjan Kumar.

Hi,

you can use an Open ID user data web part to get additional information about the user. Please take a look at part OpenID required data for more details:

OpenID registration details

Is there any method using which we can get user first name, last name and mail ID of user?

How can we use Facebook Data Required webpart? Please provide the step by step procedure.

Well, thanks in advance!!!

Hello,

Regrettably, it is not supported to get additional data (username, email etc.) from Facebook account in the 5.5 R2 version. The Required user data page allows users to specify some additional information (email, user data, password) for the Kentico site:

Site manager -> Settings -> Facebook Connect -> Required user data page - it is a URL of the page where the Facebook Connect required data web part resides; if entered, then when a new Facebook Connect user logs in to the site, their user account is not created automatically, but they are redirected to this page and required to enter some additional data (or merge with an existing account) using the web part.

If there is no Required user data page defined, default user name and fullname are stored into the database.


Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
