Let user set username when facebook login

Hi there,

It would be much better, to show the user a form where he can select his username instead of takin his facebook email as username, thats not nice.

Thank you

The email is not taken as username.
The username is his fb username (e.g. 3abqarinoo / or another shortname ) that’s his username. see ajax.php find: $user_id = $userpro->new_user( $username, $user_pass, $email, $_POST, $type=’facebook’ );

you can change the username if you want to strip email. $email and $username are different but in some cases they are same for some fb profiles, and not all of them.

Hmm but is there any way to let the user decide the user name?

So user email and avatar are taken from facebook and then he will be redirected to a page, where he can set his username.

Do I have to just delete the $email parameter, if I want to avoid, that the email is set as username?

I am working on two-step registration for social accounts, It will be available in the near future. 🙂

any updates on this would be great. I’d like further details on how to use the FB username to create the user pro username instead of email. Thanks

@Tosiu Marian @keith ,
Yes it is possible to generate username from name.As Userpro does have such a feature it would be counted as customization as the changes to be made in the code are many.

Two-step registration for social accounts?

I really need the possibility to redirect users to af form where they can enter extra mandatory fields, like phone number, address and so on.

You said this was on the way in may 2014. Is the project dead? Without this we cant use the social connect.

To solve the problem I just need a redirect to a Edit profile page wfich users cant leave before they have typed in the mandatory fields. Of cause the redirect should only take effect when register and not login.

But it could be nice if it was possible to force the user to edit user and type in mandatory fields, if you later have change in which information you need from the user. But the redirect after register are the most important
