Restarting WPGplus Development
-
Thinking about restarting development on this project, which had stalled.
Are there folks here willing to help?
What I need is someone to capture and share the header exchange between your browser and google as you try to login to Google+ – for each language/domain.
I can see the whole exchange for plus.google.com, but it seems to be different for plus.google.de for example – likely due to different cookie laws.
In any case, the plugin will always have two restrictions:
- It will require storing your Google+ username and password in the WordPress settings database.
- It will require you to NOT be using “2 factor authentication”
Doing this involves using something like Firefox with the Live HTTP Headers extension and (preferably) User-Agent Switcher.
Setting the user agent to a mobile device, then going through the whole process of logging in to gplus and posting, capturing headers exchanged along the way.
I can presumably get basic posting working in the US version again, but until Google offers a true read/write API for Google+ all we can do is impersonate a mobile user – not very elegant, and only supports whatever G+ supports for that client.
