Add Facebook Gadgets to Profile! was created by FGSimonis
Hello,

I tried to put a field on the user profile with their facebook or twitter stream.

But there was no Fieldtyp for it.

Is there any other way to do this?

Login with facebook or twitter is doing well.

Thanks
Frank

They don't exist in CB Connect anymore as it's just HTML5 in most cases, which you can directly add to a Custom HTML field. Below is a link to the Facebook social plugins.

developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

They may come back in a future release though and already have a feature ticket to look into it.

Shame, that had to be a reason for my decision for Community Builder . Please remove the no longer current possibilities of your website.

I 'm still not convinced of CB .

Would like to see in the future a group calendar or even a file system for groups.

I think the CB Connect page here:
www.joomlapolis.com/cb-solutions/cb-connect

no longer references the old gadgets.

Where did you read this (maybe we forgot to remove somewhere)?

The method Kyle posted should work just as well (even better) because your would be directly accessing facebook provided code.

The fieldtypes were literally just outputting the HTML of the plugins provided in the above link. With the exception being anytime the HTML structure changed it broke the plugin and I'd have to make a new release. You gain significantly more usability with them not being built in as you've complete control over the JS API loading and HTML structure. Below is example of a Like button usage.

Code:
SCRIPT_HEADER_HERE <div class="fb-like" data-href="[cb:config param="live_site" /]/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile&user=[user_id]" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>

It's probably better to load the JS inside your Joomla template though so it's only loaded once. There's a lot of Facebook integrations out there that have already done this for you.
