> In 'General' Tab, choose 'Authentication', select 'Google' authentication method, and submit. can't make this step still.. will it become available when the plugin is ready?

Comment by ch...@cs278.org, Mar 13, 2009

Hi, The correct way to do this would be to write an authentication plugin and fall through to using the database (or another if you give the user the choice) authentication plugin. See our documentation for more information http://wiki.phpbb.com/Authentication_plugins doing so would eliminate the need to edit the database configuration file.

I've did it! http://it.sander.su/forum/ The problem was in login_friendconnect.html It has a line google.friendconnect.container.setParentUrl('/' / location of rpc_relay.html and canvas.html /); by default (after downloading) there is something strange there and you have to provide a correct path. I guess it should be placed somewhere in the instruction.

Sto facendo alcune prove... Però se uno effettua il login sul forum, poi nelle proprietà del profilo imposta di voler ricevere una mail di notifica ogni volta che uno scrive un commento, ho notato che l'email non arriva. Anche perché l'email non è messa nel profilo creato automaticamente dopo il login...

Comment by sumeetra...@gmail.com, Aug 10, 2009

Has any one made this work?

Comment by thaibb....@gmail.com, Oct 04, 2009

if you get message loading only, please check this list. 1. you config file(login_friendconnect.html) path to canvas.html and rpc_relay. 2. in overall_header.html have this line <!-- INCLUDE login_friendconnect.html --> and in overall_footer.html have this line <script type="text/javascript">runFriendConnectApi();</script> 3. you GFC ID on 'site: SITEID' line in file login_friendconnect.html 4. after you patch or edit template file, Do not forget "Refresh" you style in ACP

sometime GFC API not work in IE, i don't know why? this plug-in have security issues. So use with caution.

Sorry for my English,I know just a little.

Comment by nguyenhuan.dp, Nov 07, 2009

-> Install the canvas.html and rpc_relay.html files on your site. I can't find canvas.html and rpc_replay.html files, could you tell me how to find them?
