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
