I've got my FB authentication set up, but when the user registers on facebook, he/she has the option to not include his email. How can i make it so that the email information is required and people cannot toggle off the sharing of their email information?
(I say this because I use emails to identify if the user is a new user or not, so having a null value/empty slot in email in my DB wouldn't work).
I use the social provider's user ID field for validation/logging in - $user->id from the object returned from Facebook. So my table has a facebook_id and google_id for the two options my site provides. I check to see if any User matches this ID.
Yes, I was just starting to work on using the ID instead, but is there a way to make FB email required? I read somewhere that making the scope="email" will work on my tag, but that didn't work when I tried it.
See if this post of mine helps at all -http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29127330/laravel-5-socialite-change-auth-redirect-path-dynamically
