I have been tasked here at work to use one of our web sites we use and get it connecting to facebook and pulling in user data based upon if the user allows it.

I have read though a few threads here and it seems that the basics works so far

User account created , profile image is pulled in but getting any other information doesn't seem to work. I would like to see if anyone would want to work on a combined effort to try to hash out why I cant get things like user_hometown to populate on drupal.

Here is what I have done so far:

I have modified the fb_permissions.module in the contrib folder to add all relevant data that you might want to get from the user.

you can see a list of valid data you can get if the user allows it:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions

it also seems to me that the TOS has changed and you can now store FB data as long as the user allows it.

Note: Starting June 30, 2010, all applications will be able to access only a user's public data unless the user grants your application the extended permissions it needs. Read the upgrade guide for details.


/**
* Which permissions can we prompt for?
*
* @TODO - update this list and/or make it customizable.
*/
function fb_permission_map() {
static $perms;
if (!isset($perms)) {
// http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Extended_permissions
$perms = array(
// Publishing Permissions
'publish_stream' => 'Allow %application to publish to your stream.',
'create_event' => 'Allow %application to create events on your behalf.',
'rsvp_event' => 'Allow %application to RSVP to events on your behalf',

'photo_upload' => 'Allow %application to upload photos.',
'status_update' => 'Allow %application to set your status.',

);
}
return $perms;
}

This change in the code above adds all the extended fields, and once you have added it you can edit your FB application in drupal .

/admin/build/fb/list then under local settings select edit..

Under fb extended permissions you will now see all the new fields you can check.

Here is where the mystery comes in and hoping someone can help me debug this.

I created a new profile field called user_hometown for example , then on drupal i connected via fb connect with one of my fb test accounts, it created my account and asked me if all of this data can be allowed, i said yes but the user_hometown field never was populated.

anyone have any ideas what are the right profile fields or how this is even supposed to insert data into drupal?
