google + login setup with shared host

Zaktwo4

i am new to the vanilla forums, installing (CMS and forums ) throw shell terminal and creating sites in general. i like the easy way to setup some features using plugins. but there is some features that i can setup using plugins, i have a shared host plan, and i don't have an access to the SSH terminal so i can't setup features like facebook and twitter and google+ login. or is there is any other way i can do that?

You don't need SSH to set up facebook. All you need to do is make sure curl is enabled on your host (so the server can make requests to google).

vanillaforums.com just had a blog article about setting up G+:

i didn't understand this :
5. Copy over Client ID and Secret into appropriate fields in Vanilla Dashboard.

First, you need to download the Google+ plugin

Right now, you can only get this from github:
https://github.com/vanilla/addons/tree/master/plugins/GooglePlus

Copy it over to the /plugins directory of your forum. You should see it in the plugins section:

Enable the plugin and go to Forum Settings > Social in your Dashboard. You should see something like this:

Click on the cog wheel. That is where you can enter the client ID and secret (which you get from google after you have registered a new project there)

@Bleistivt‌ thanks for reminding me to add this to the post. Sometimes when you use Vanilla so long you forget the most important steps. I will have a video on this later today on the YouTube channel, but as you rightly pointed out, this plugin also works on 2.1, just need to grab it from the repo. Cheers!

I suppose, if you are expecting help, you would explain in detail, what is not working. and what version of plugin you are using and what you have done to try to make it work, and what errors you are getting, if any.

I uploaded

https://github.com/vanilla/addons/blob/master/plugins/GooglePlus/class.googleplus.plugin.php

named the theme map GooglePlus,

when i want to enable the GooglePlus plugin, it says
The plugin folder was not properly defined.

what am i doing wrong?

vanilla 2.1.3 and ozone 2.1

Sorry i mean i download all the files of github for the GooglePlus plugin, not only class.googleplus.plugin.php as i say here above.
