Yes, I know... Without your document I would not have gotten this far... 👍
But this was not the issue, since I already have my FB ID in my forum profile....
I've got it to work with a small test... And found an issue or minor "design flaw" - If I may put it that bluntly.
Suggestion for improvement of Facebook sign in routine:The Facebook routine only reads the default email address in the Facebook profile.
I expected it to read the email addresses in the FB profile.
Since many (including myself) use different email addresses for different purposes, the email used for the forum may
be another - Let's say you use your gmail for Facebook primary email and your ISP mail service for the forum.
In Facebook you can have several alternate email addresses in your profile where one can be the one used in the forum,
so I suggest that the Facebook login routine is modified a bit to work at its best.
Have 2 ideas regarding ways on how to solve this little issue:
1 - The YAF routine scans all email addresses in the Facebook user profile and matches them to the forum email address in the user profile.
2 - Add a "Your Facebook primary email account" in the forum user profile which is matched if the first check towards the forum email account does not match.
This is of course not to be shown to others than the forum profile owner (and maybe administrators)...
#1 is the "true Facebook integration" way, and #2 is the "Forum integration" way... 2 different mindsets to solve the issue.
I know, some may not think of this as an issue but I know many of my users use different email accounts for different
purposes. I myself have different primary email addresses for Ebay, PayPal, Forum & Facebook...
