You can set up the Contact Mini Profile and Contact Profile Picture iParts to prompt people to use their Facebook profile picture in iMIS, instead of uploading a picture. To use this feature, you must do the following:
■ Create a Facebook app so that your website can connect to Facebook
■ Enable the Facebook API in your web.config
■ Enable the iPart configuration option to Prompt for Facebook connection
When enabled, logged in users are prompted to connect to Facebook when they edit their profile picture.
