CB-Connect - Edit Social Media ID

Good Evening,
We are about to go live with a website for a client and we are using the CB connect plugin.
We would like to know if a user can edit the social media ID's? As an administrator we can add in our own but i don't want to have to act as an inbetween for every user that want to link up there social media accounts, at present the application will create the account with one of there social accounts but it stops there.

With the site we are developing the users will have several if not all of the various social accounts we are planning on linking to the site.

We thought that if while a member is editing their profile on the 'Contact Info' page if they could select a button next to the social account that allows them to add in the missing social accounts...

See the two screen shots of how we have edited one account.

No. Do not modify the ID unless it's to manually remove it. That is not how CB Connect works. The user uses the sign in or link button, it verifies who they are, and then links to the two accounts. Doing so otherwise is abuse and links an account that was never verified.

Ok well and good, can we let the clients add their own id with a button?
We have several social accounts personally, and i know if i had the chance to add in the other ID with a connect to the following accounts ... i would take it.

Knowing my client and his thoughts so far on the project they would be the same, so if they cannot manually add the id's can we have a button on their profile that allows them to connect their other social media accounts.

Thanks for getting back to me, one of my programmers in the office found a post linking to something like this, what we are doing now is stylizing the the format to make them appear more as buttons, then we are looking at making them appear on the users profile, so they can click on them and then connect them up.

We are trying to get them to load for the 'Update Your Profile' screen and the view my profile screen also.

Another note on this one, using CB Conditional, i want to create two rules;

1. Don't Show 'Link to Social Accounts' Not Equal to 'Username'
2. Don't show 'User Status' Equal to 'Username'

Sounds simple but i cannot call the username in the value field.

Ok well and good, can we let the clients add their own id with a button?

That already exists. Use the Linking functionality. It will validate them and link the accounts. CB Connect does not allow users to supply their id manually. It never will allow that.

That is too easy to abuse and isn't the point of CB Connect. CB Connect uses that ID to allow a direct login to that account on your site. It's the validated piece of information linking the two. CB Connect will never allow an enduser to supply this manually.

For what you're wanting you've no need for CB Connect. Just make text fields and use the layout parameters to link to the various social provider profiles.

Conditions support substitutions. So for example [username]. See the below for further substitution usage information.
