I want to put the Google Friend Connect "join" button inside of a custom login block that I have created. I have tried a few different methods but so far nothing has worked for me. I tried adding one of Google's standard button gadgets to a block but it doesn't really log the user in. If the user logs in with the Google gadget they still need to click the button on the comment form to become authenticated.

It would be great if someone could post a code snippet that would work within a block. You can see the example of what I have implemented now on the front page of the site at http://iheartmets.com.

Title: Placing Join Button In A Block » Placing Join Button In A Block ($100 Bounty)

Having not heard anything back on this, and since I really need this functionality, I'd like to offer a $100 bounty for the following enhancements to the module.

1. The ability to disable the "Google Friend Connect (leave a quick comment)" fieldset that appears above the comment section.
2. The ability to enter a code snippet that will display the Friend Connect login button anywhere I want it to be. I am able to do this successfully with the Facebook Connect module. Google's generic code snippets that I've tried don't interact with the Drupal login system, so although they log you in to Google they don't authenticate you on the site. See http://iheartmets.com for an example of the Google login not working properly.
3. The option to display the Friend Connect login button on the standard user login page at /user or /user/login.

The bounty will be paid via PayPal once the features are tested and confirmed to work. Thanks!

There's still a $100 bounty. The comment in #2 was originally a blank comment that I entered by mistake but couldn't delete. The $100 bounty still stands for those three functions.

@awakenedvoice,

The D6 version hosted at google, check out this thread here http://drupal.org/node/1245548, has the features you are after.

In that same thread I have posted a patch which adds those functionalities to the D7 dev version hosted here at Drupal.org. It would be great if you could review the patch.

cheers
