How do I get the email through facebook login?

[wingchen]

Thank you all for coming up with this wonderful app. It's really cool! However, please allow me to post a question here, since I don't know a better place to shoot this question.

I am using django-social-auth with my authentication mechanism of my application. In other parts of my app, I need the email from the logged-in user for certain features. I do not have any problem with Google and Yahoo. However, when it comes to facebook, I could not gain the user email from reques.user. Could you please tell me where I will be able to get the user email?

Here comes my code to get the user info. Thank you very much.

 '''
 Gets the basic user information from the system.
 '''
 def getDjangoDefaultUserInfo(request):
     email = ''
     provider = None
     user_name = request.user.username
     provider_string = ''
     if user_name != '':
         email = request.user.email
         provider = request.user.social_auth.values_list('provider', flat=True)
         for name in provider:
             provider_string += name.lower().replace('-', '_')

     info = {
         'user_name' : user_name,
         'email' : email,
         'provider' : provider_string
     }
     return info

You need to specify "email" scope to Facebook backend, add this setting::

FACEBOOK_EXTENDED_PERMISSIONS = ['email']

that should be enough to get user email populated properly.
