I don't know about the other sites listed, but I just learned at the fabulous drupalcon SF that you cannot store the Facebook data anywhere, and you aren't event supposed to pre-fill it in forms. The idea is that one should use the FB API to display the FB data - instead of storing it locally for any amount of time. (I'm pretty sure the main reason for this is to ensure that everyone is seeing the same thing, and there aren't various versions of old data floating around)

A big thanks to Mr. Dave Cohen for his Facebook session and BOF!!

Hi drupalists,

 

I have been trying to fetch profile information from other social sites like facebook, google, myspace etc into drupal accounts/profile and come across several modules as below. The main objective is to import profile information from Facebook, but if there’re other alternatives that supports a bunch of social sites (including Facebook) like OpenSocial, I am open to it too. BTW does openSocial supports facebook at all?

 

  • OpenSocial Shindig-Integrator
  • Giyya Socialize (Paid solution?)
  • Facebook connect
  • Google Connect

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thank you so much.

 

Kind Regards,

 

CHEW, Henry
