Bugfix - Facebook Connect does not auto-pull email address due to incorrect API call
When a user clicks to create a new account via Facebook Connect, Vanilla tries unsuccessfully to pull the user's email from the Facebook API.
Since the email pull fails, a new page emerges in which the user is asked to manually re-type the email and username:
This is particularly bad because it completely defeats the forum option to "Use Facebook names for usernames." Instead, the user is forced to manually type in a username, as well as their email.
The problem lies in a single malformed API call. In class.facebook.plugin.php, in getProfile($AccessToken), we have the following line:
$Url = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=$AccessToken";
This is a call to /me without specifying what fields you want. As a result, Facebook automatically spits out only the name and id as follows:
{ "name": "Mike Battaglia", "id": "10102191134460877" }
To fix this, simply change the request to this:
$Url = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=$AccessToken&fields=name,id,email";
and now everything works flawlessly.

I did exactly what you said but the problem still persists.
