I use Facebook Connect for my drupal site and it works fine, I like the module a lot, it shows my user name in words in the blog page posts and other content but in the My Account (user profile) page it displays the id as
340000003367@facebook.com, how do I prevent it from showing the id this way.

I do not want to disable 'create local account'.

I tried the solution which Dave Cohen had given regarding the creation of a module using this code
http://drupal.org/node/626998

but I don't know how to implement the above in a new module.

Please tell me solution. This is urgent.

Drupal 7 introduces a function called format_username(). With that, it is possible for a module to fix this. But in Drupal 6, there is no way.

The page you linked to is the best I can do. If you have trouble building a module, just read the documentation easily found all over drupal.org.

Hi Dave,

I solved the issue by going to the theme module and masking the code where it displays the registered users name. I left the internal database and other fb module code untouched.

Thanks again. great module.

Would like to have this code as well please, what do you mean by masking? Does it show real username?

I have used the mask implemented in drupal for facebook module and works great, but can't take username as plain text to create content profile :_(

function theme_fb_connect_fbml_username($fbu, $object, $orig) {
if (!$fbu) {
return $orig;
}

$wrap_pre = "$orig";
$wrap_post = "\n";
if ($object->uid && user_access('access user profiles')) {
// Provide link if local account.
$wrap_pre = $wrap_pre . 'uid) . '">';
$wrap_post = '' . $wrap_post;
$ifcantsee = 'ifcantsee="' . addslashes(check_plain($object->name)) . '"';
}

$fbml = ""; $output = $wrap_pre . $fbml . $wrap_post;

return $output;
}
