Introduction
Google Friend Connect (GFC) allows users to become members of your site community using their Google, Yahoo!,
AIM or OpenID accounts and do lots of stuff like interacting with other visitors by making friends, sharing media, posting comments, playing games, and more.
To find more information about Google Friend Connect you may go here.
Unfortunately users logged using GFC still have to enter their name, email address and website to post comment via WordPress
(or even register and login via WordPress in case “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” option is turned on).
Fortunately this plugin fixes this problem.
Compatability
PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5
At the moment plugin was tested with WordPress v 2.7.1 and seems to be fully compatible :).
History
Version 1.0.3
- removed class constants due to the fact that PHP 4 does not support them;
- added check whether
json_decodefunction exists. And if it is not Pear JSON library is used. Thus plugin should work with PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5; - fixed Settings link;
Version 1.0.2
- added possibility to specify location of GFC core files at settings page;
- now both WP and GFC users are supported;
Version 1.0.1
Added setting page to admin side to allow user to:
- enter SITE ID;
- choose between using “comment_form” action and template tag;
- enable/disable default css;
Version 1.0
Created. Main differences (improvements) over official plugin:
- completely server-side. FCauth method is used to authenticate GFC user;
- GFC user ID is used to create WP user (plugin doesn’t create new WP user on GFC username change);
- added template tag to be used in themes;
- changed CSS;
- user is logged out in case he/she signs out of Friend Connect;
- only GFC users may sign in;

Instal·lació
- First of all set up you site with Google Friend Connect.
- Download plugin.
- Unzip it and upload to your plugins folder (
/wp-content/plugins/). - Activate (Plugins->Installed) and configure (Settings->FriendConnect Login) plugin from WordPress Admin panel.
- Adjust you theme:
-
If you allow only Google Friend Connect users to login WordPress then:
1) Remove all logout links or replace them with the following one:
<a onclick="google.friendconnect.requestSignOut()" href="#"><?php _e('Sign out'); ?></a>2) Remove all links to user profile. In case Google Friend Connect user will change his password plugin won’t log him in after that.
-
If you allow both WordPress and Google Friend Connect users to login WordPress then your code should distinguish user type and generate logout and profile links appropriately. Here is an example:
<?php _e('Logged in as '); // Do not add link to profile and logout link in case of GFC user global $gfc_userdata; if ( ! isset($gfc_userdata) ) { echo '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/profile.php">' . $user_identity . '</a>. '; echo '<a href="' . wp_logout_url(get_permalink()) . '" title="' . __('Log out of this account') . '">' . __('Logout ') . '»</a>'; } else { echo $user_identity . '. '; echo '<a href="#" onClick="google.friendconnect.requestSignOut()" title="' . __('Log out of this account') . '">' . __('Logout ') . '»</a>'; } ?> -
By default plugin adds Sign In button (or user’s profile data in case he/she is already signed in) under comment form. Alternatively you may use following template tag to do this:
<?php if (function_exists('gfc_profile')) {gfc_profile();} ?>Best place to put it is under comment form or “You must be logged in…” line in your
comments.php
