I have the Facebook app setup with facebook and the login/registration is working with EasySocial. I have one issue that I am hoping you can give me some insight. When a user registers with Facebook their login being their email address is being imported from Facebook like this:
app+38utnzh3.2qucckab9t.69c3273d838efd054730fe377c823c50@proxymail.facebook.com


Obviously that is way too tedious for any user to have as a login. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Paul
Hello Paul,

I think Facebook is actually trying to hide the user's email There's unfortunately no way around this unless the user customizes their email when they register with Facebook.

Mark, you guys need to look closer at this. There is something else going on here because if what you say is actually the case then it will affect every customer that you have who uses the Facebook registration option and this is totally untenable as it is.

The email address even if cloaked/proxied should still work. I tried this with the email address(s) coming from the Facebook integration and the email address do not work. So when a user registers via facebook, they will not receive the email from your site.
Beyond that, that massive mess, becomes both the user's login and email so it is a problem both for logging in and the ridiculously cumbersome login as well as for receiving system email.

Another issue/problem here. If you have more than one social integration for example Login with Twitter as well as Login with Facebook or say OpenID. You need a unique identifier that is consistent across them all in your Joomla/EasySocial database/user records. The obvious and best choice is email address. If Facebook is sending only proxy email accounts there is no way that is going to work.
