Actually, Facebook will give you the email address if the user authorizes it. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/ You have to request the "email" permission.
In Janrain you need to have the Pro package[1000/year] and you can then map multiple social networks to the users profile, and then map the janrain profile fields to your internal profile fields. If Janrain goes out of business, then you will either need to reset the password[by sending it to an email address, or even as an internal social network message to one of the mapped social network accounts], or implement an authentication package to re-authenticate those accounts. The nerd in me says I'd rather implement it myself. But if I never get back to updating/maintenance in a year it will be out of date, wheras Janrain will keep updating. On the other hand, with time on my hands this summer, and seeing pricing of 1000/year for a single domain to use Janrain, maybe I should implement it myself with a Rest interface and then try to resell it. :-) -Gary On 5/26/2011 1:17 PM, Donna Marie Vincent wrote: > Joomla user accounts are created but some social networks won't give > you the users' email address.
