Google+ Sign In

[greghesp]

Final question I promise.
Are there any plans include the new Google+ sign in which allows for all the additional features?

Haven't reviewed that yet. Ultimately this is only useful (I believe) if you want to post to a users G+ or something similar, we only use the standard google account to authenticate.

No road map as of yet to add Google+, feel free to fork and help.

Google now advise that anyone who wants to use Google sign in should use G+
instead (everyone with a Google account has a G+ account)

You can then implement features as shown on that page from other
locations. I believe that Google are phasing out their original Google
account login

@Evostance I don't see how google would remove its google account open-id process. There is too much tied to their current single-sign on. I mean for one, how would I convert all users for my pre-existing base to G+?

Can you find a direct comparison of G+ vs Google Account? My initial assumption is g+ is nothing more than FB app with feedback on # of users, etc; vs an open-id login endpoint.

Off the top of my head (on phone at the moment) it allows further
interaction with Google services. For example post sharing, android
actions, automatically download apps to synced phones etc. Essentially
allows direct use of all Google services through it whereas the current
account sign in is just for authentication purposes.

The current Facebook one allows use to like posts, share to wall etc. Its
similar. Effectively at the moment you're saying I'm me. Implementing G+
allows you to say I'm me and I can do lots more as well.

OK, as suspected:
Google Account is basically just a login
Google+ is the login as above, plus all the social stuff like Facebook has.

The git for the quickstart which enables all this is https://github.com/googleplus/gplus-quickstart-php
However I have no idea how that would get built into the current structure you guys have configured.

I don't think this will be taken care of in #78

So this might help.

Will have to revisit this after #78 is done.

Hybrid Auth should now be solving this. If you want the additional features of G+, you will have to create the functionality on your own as that is out of scape of this project. Hybrid Auth might have something in the future:
