Thought I would try Connect 5.0 this morning. Installed as CB Plugin, and configured for Google API no problems.

for Redirect URIs I used www.example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbconnect&action=google&func=accesstoken&format=raw

and substituting correct URL in place of example.com.

I have plugin set to NOT allow registration, but I did want to use linking. I logged into my website with appropriate site credentials. And after login, I clicked on the "G link" in CB Login module and I entered my Google Gmail Credentials. I logged out of website. And then tried to login just using the "G Link" button instead of username/password boxes.

But then got the following error:

Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI in the request: example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbconnect&action=google&func=accesstoken&format=raw did not match a registered redirect URI

So I changed the Redirect URI in Google API to be example.com instead of www.example.com

And then I was able to login to my website by clicking on the using the G Link instead of entering username and password.

---- but then ....

I tried using a different browser, and when the G Link did not work unless I had already logged into Gmail from that browser.

So it is working - sort of, but may cause more confusion that it is worth. Am I missing anything?

Is this how it works with Facebook and others - i.e. you must be logged into Facebook in the same browser before the CB Connect link works?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,

i'm sorry but i've been searching a long time and haven't been able to find Openid authentification for Joomla 2.5 and 3.1

isn't it possible to add it on CB Connect ?

Thanks !
