Top Friends

<h4>Introduction</h4>
<p>Google Friend Connect (GFC) allows users to become members of your site community using their Google, Yahoo!,<br />
AIM or OpenID accounts and do lots of stuff like interacting with other visitors by making friends, sharing media, posting comments, playing games, and more.<br />
To find more information about Google Friend Connect you may go <a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/" title="Google Friend Connect" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately users logged using GFC still have to enter their name, email address and website to post comment via WordPress<br />
(or even register and login via WordPress in case “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” option is turned on).<br />
Fortunately this plugin fixes this problem.</p>
<h4>Compatability</h4>
<p>PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5<br />
At the moment plugin was tested with WordPress v 2.7.1 and seems to be fully compatible :).</p>
<h4>History</h4>
<p>Version 1.0.3</p>
<ul>
<li>removed class constants due to the fact that PHP 4 does not support them;</li>
<li>added check whether <code>json_decode</code> function exists. And if it is not <a href="http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=198" rel="nofollow ugc">Pear JSON library</a> is used. Thus plugin should work with PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5;</li>
<li>fixed Settings link;</li>
</ul>
<p>Version 1.0.2</p>
<ul>
<li>added possibility to specify location of GFC core files at settings page;</li>
<li>now both WP and GFC users are supported;</li>
</ul>
<p>Version 1.0.1</p>
<p>Added setting page to admin side to allow user to:</p>
<ul>
<li>enter SITE ID;</li>
<li>choose between using “comment_form” action and template tag;</li>
<li>enable/disable default css;</li>
</ul>
<p>Version 1.0</p>
<p>Created. Main differences (improvements) over <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-friend-connect-plugins/wiki/WordPressPlugin" rel="nofollow ugc">official plugin</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>completely server-side. FCauth method is used to authenticate GFC user;</li>
<li>GFC user ID is used to create WP user (plugin doesn’t create new WP user on GFC username change);</li>
<li>added template tag to be used in themes;</li>
<li>changed CSS;</li>
<li>user is logged out in case he/she signs out of Friend Connect;</li>
<li>only GFC users may sign in;</li>
</ul>
