Facebook Connect Logon, how to get Facebook user data

Hi,

When using the Facebook Connect Logon webpart, a new user gets created in the Kentico database with an id like facebookid_1057812414 and full name Facebook ID - 1057812414.

How does one get data like email, first name, last name from Facebook? Am I missing parameters or am I supposed to use the Facebook Connect required data webpart?

Please advise,
thanks, Mathon

RE:Facebook Connect Logon, how to get Facebook user data

Hi,

Regrettably, it is not supported to get additional data (username, email etc.) from Facebook account. You can use Required user data page, where user need to specify some additional information (email, user data, password). If there is no Required user data page defined, default user name and fullname are stored into the database.

Please find more information in Facebook Connect section in Developer’s guide

Best regards,
Michal Legen
