I am trying to help my father with his computer lesson website: How can i design the website so that when a user already has a GMAIL account, he/she will not need to sign up for an independent membership at the site. (In short, if the person has a gmail account already, he/she is already considered as a member and therfore he will not need to sign up for membership.) I believe it involves using googles email database but i have NO CLUE on where to start.... I have ONLY done basic C so please treat me like a newbie in your answers. I REALLY APPRECIATE any help i can get since i am trying to help my family making a living
SORRY I know that sounded wrong. What i meant was, how can i design my website so when a member signs up for membership, if he already has a gmail accout, the website will then check it with Gmail to see if the account exist then once verified he becomes a member.
Yes it can be done through Google friend connect. Friend Connect for example see my website GuideToIslam.org Any visitor having Google, AIM, Yahoo or Open ID account can login to your site through Google Friend Connect.
