Please move all profile saving discussion to this thread, I see on the forum a lot of people asking for this and i'm working with a friend to try to add this into the FB module, however time is limited on our end, so maybe if we work together we could get this done.

Short answer... look up on

Short answer... look up on drupal.org how to manage profile fields. Create the fields you want for each user.

Then implement a custom module. In there, implement hook_fb() This will be called, among other times, when a new account is created. In your code, query facebook for the values and set them on drupal.

There's no really easy way to do this, because in the past it was a violation of facebook's terms of service to save this data. They only just changed that a couple weeks ago.

How to define the permissions you want to fetch ?

Hi,

I'd like to fetch the first +last + dob + image. How to set up the permissions list so the application ask and get them ?

I understand the hook, but was looking for a slightly different workflow:
When I go to /user/register, Got a FB connect button, when I click on it, can log in on FB, grant the permissions, then have the /user/register form pre-filled with the informations pulled from facebook, but still can update them, before saving the account.

Is this possible ? Does it make sense ?

See modules/fb/contrib/fb_permission.module. In the 3.x branch, it is now using the new data model to ask for permissions when the user first authorizes the app.

I have updated the function, but need to know what fields to create for the drupal profile. It would also be nice to seperate these a bit so you dont have one long list..

If you want a change like this to actually get into the module, submit a patch to the issue queue.
