Facebook extended permission - use all permissions

I'm not sure what's best, trying to keep up with everything facebook adds, or adding some option to manually type the names of the permissions.

Changing to 3.x, since this change is unlikely to make it into 2.x

Right now if you're willing to implement a hook in your own module, you can do something like this...

/**
 * Implements hook_fb_required_perms_alter().
 *
 *  developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions
 */
function takepart_fb_feature_fb_required_perms_alter(&$perms) {
  // Require the mail and birthday extended permissions.
  $perms[] = 'email';
  $perms[] = 'user_birthday';
  
}

Do you have this set up to save any extended permissions the users auths saved to the profile? For example home town is a permission.. Guess we could extend the profile with various fields and populate them when permissions are granted since now you can store fb data on your one server

As gateway69 said, Facebook no longer prohibits the storage of user data as long as the user consents and you're clear about how you use that data. At least that's how I understand the current terms. Perhaps FB changes the terms as often as they change their other stuff (btw, section 9.3 now reads "You will not give us information that you independently collect from a user or a user's content without that user's consent."). The change in terms could open up for new features in other parts of DFF as well, not just fb_permissions.

Thanks Anclywen for the patch. I will review when I have a moment.

I agree that the idea of saving data from facebook into drupal user profile (or better, syncing the data) should be discussed in another issue.

Thanks for the patch, I did it another way but ill use yours instead :) btw I did create a separate issue/request for the profile fields..

I had to reinstall with the latest fb build, the patch seems to go kaboom :(

ST

function fb_permission_list_all_permissions()

Instead of maintaining the label and description manually, it may be easier to use permissions_info to retrieve those information. So we only need to keep track of permission names.

I'm not sure what you mean. What's permissions_info?

This http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/permissions_info, if not maintaining the list will be a headache

Thanks, I agree it should use that table. Ideally it would learn which permissions are available via FQL, but I don't see any way to query that.

Checked in a change. Next release will query the entire list of permissions.
