   is there a way to change somehow the user name to something more meaningful? I use this plugin to enable passing by users to post, so when their post is approved and you click them as the author what you get is this *not nice* url: ../author/fb98734987 , is there any way around it?
   thanks!

   yes, open te common.php file in line ~194 and change this:
   $fbusername = 'fb'.$fbuid;

   for this:
   

   $counter = 1;
     $fbusername = str_replace( ' ', '', $userinfo['name'] );
     if (username_exists($fbusername)) {
   	do
           {
               $username = $fbusername;
               $counter++;
               $username = $username . $counter;
           } while ( username_exists( $username ) );
       }
       else
       {
           $username = $fbusername;
       }
       $username = strtolower( sanitize_user($username) );
   
     $userdata = fbc_userinfo_to_wp_user($userinfo);
     $userdata['user_pass'] = wp_generate_password();
     $userdata['user_login'] = $username; //login with new nice username
     $userdata['user_nicename']= $username; //show name with new nice username

   you can see in action in my video soccer site http//futborama.com

   Che Juani,

   I've noticed that it ads the user without spaces, so NAME SURNAME becomes user NAMESURNAME, got any solution for that? maybe adding - or _ or %20?

   gracias!
