Basic Connector Overrides profile picture

[surapuramakhil]

For an existing account where user has already set his profile picture. A login using connector will override profile picture.

Ideal:
Profile picture should be taken from connector only if the user hasn't set his picture.

You're right. If a user has already set their avatar, it shouldn't be overwritten. Thank you for your feedback. BTW, this issue is not related to the Basic Connector plugin, but rather with the Answer itself. I will transfer this issue to the Answer.

@LinkinStars I would like to try to fix this issue. Thanks!

P.S. Shouldn't it be labeled as a bug? 👀

@surapuramakhil @LinkinStars Is it possible to setup Google or GitHub connect process in development? I tried these two providors but both ended up a /50x page 😂

[surapuramakhil]

Yes, it is. It is possible to set up Google or GitHub connect process in development.

I actually stated with Google connector, but facing this apache/incubator-answer-plugins#65

I have fallen back to basic connector as per this comment apache/incubator-answer-plugins#65 (comment)

Try using basic connector, it works for sure.

Thank you! I'll try the basic connector later. I also encountered this "does not provide a unique UserID" problem when using Google connector. I thought maybe it only happened in development for there being a frontend port and a backend port.

------Update------

The basic connector with Google credentials works in development.
