No Google + Social Connect?

orangesmasher221

I am trying to setup google + with vanilla but there is no option in the social integration. How can I get the option?

Your request is less than 10 hours old, are you in a hurry?

Have you looked for answers in the forum? What have you found, what have you tried?
The link above points to vanillaforums.com. Blog posts there might be helpful, but because they are related to the hosted version of Vanilla they do not have to be useful for the OS version of Vanilla.

Have you checked the addons repository at GitHub? I think there is a Google+ connector, but I do not know if that is working with 2.1.

Last I tried, the G+ connector worked in 2.1.x: https://github.com/vanilla/addons/tree/master/plugins/GooglePlus

I am in a hurry because my school project is due tomorrow... I'm still getting used to the forums. But I will definitely look in the questions for any question I have.

Whenever I enable the plugin, I get this message on my homepage, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function SocialSignInButton() in /class.googleplus.plugin.php on line 150"

Is there any way to fix this?

Yes. Search for it.

it is missing the function. I use neither - but this might solve your problem.

since you don't have this in vanilla 2.1.5
https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/master/library/core/functions.render.php#L1006

you can probably add the code below to the bottom of class.googleplus.plugin.php AFTER the last closing } in class.googleplus.plugin.php

    if (!function_exists('SocialSignInButton')) {
    function SocialSignInButton($Name, $Url, $Type = 'button', $Attributes = array()) {
    TouchValue('title', $Attributes, sprintf(T('Sign In with %s'), $Name));
    $Title = $Attributes['title'];
    $Class = val('class', $Attributes, '');
    switch ($Type) {
    case 'icon':
    $Result = Anchor('<span class="Icon"></span>',
    $Url, 'SocialIcon SocialIcon-'.$Name . ' ' . $Class, $Attributes);
    break;
    case 'button':
    default:
    $Result = Anchor('<span class="Icon"></span><span class="Text">'.$Title.'</span>',
    $Url, 'SocialIcon SocialIcon-'.$Name.' HasText ' . $Class, $Attributes);
    break;
    }
    return $Result;
    }
    }

just saw hgtonight's info - potentially either will work.

report back. what you tried and if it worked.

if the above adding to class.googleplus.plugin.php works. then it could be another plugin added to the add-ons section maybe.

since it would be all self-contained.

@peregrine 's option worked. Except the g+ logo is a little big. Can I change that with css?

peregrine

thanks for the feedback.

Can I change that with css?

perhaps if you check with web developer and identify class. i have no way of testing.

Do you know if it is possible to change it without css?

no, I don't. what have you tried to do changing via css? and what class or id do you see?

I tried .SocialIcon

It didn't work. I see class "Icon" in the developer tools in chrome.

orangesmasher221

@peregrine But that is using the plugin cssedit. Is that how I should change it?

peregrine

I don't use the plugin and I don't know and I can't test.

final answer.

by posting exactly what you tried i.e. exact code and screenshot as well as a screenshot from developer tools might help some one help you. but since I can't test, I can't help you. good luck and I hope you get your answer.

IF it is changeable via css - cssedit or custom.css would both work.

I have no idea if this is even related.

this is about google +1 - something different but

it may give you insights.

you can also google google.

I think I figured it out. (YES!) I have to change something in the custom.css file.

orangesmasher221

Nevermind... When I'm in the developer tools, It shows that there is a string with a height of 43px and a width of 43 px (that is the google icon) but when I search for it in the file, nothing related shows up.

peregrine

read up on theme customization lots of tutorials.

maybe something like this in custom.css

.SocialIcon-Google {
height :33px !important;
width: 33px !important;
}

I'm running 2.1.11 and I have enabled the OpenID and then Google Sign In plugins without error, but I still do not see the Google Social Connect under Dashboard > Addons > Social.

Any ideas?
