FAQ
How to import the email address from Facebook?
Just add “email” to constants via Constant Editor or typoscript. Here is an example:
plugin.tx_facebook2t3_pi1 {
facebookFields4Perms = email, name, first_name, last_name, link, gender, email
facebookFields4Fetch = email, name, first_name, last_name, link, gender, email
fe_usersFields = username, name, tx_facebook2t3_first_name, tx_facebook2t3_last_name, tx_facebook2t3_link, tx_facebook2t3_gender, email}
In this case the email address is imported twice into table fe_users: as username and email.
