I just tried with 4.2.0 with Facebook connect, and the Facebook profile photo is not imported while auto registration is enabled.

Already searched the web for the solution, however I can't find any.

If anyone can shed some light on this, it's really appreciated (probably just make the VB profile picture URL point to the FB picture? but how?)

Thanks.

On a new registration it does import the photo. At least on my v4.2 system it does.
Sorry I cannot shed any light on the problem, but I thought you should know that it does work.

Of course on IE I get nothing, since facebook changed their javascript. I haven't bothered to check if this is still a problem.

Hi tbworld,

So when you use Facebook connect (with auto-registered enabled) to connect a new account, you see the photo imported in the user profile?

In user setting, if you go to "Edit Profile Picture", is the imported photo saved a file or just a URL?

And how about Avatar?

Thanks.
