So does this actually allow someone to log in to the site, and be validated using this sign in box, or does it simply add another log in box for them to also sign into.
IE once they log in using this box, can they post etc, or do they still need to log into the forum? If they log in, what can they then do? Are they able to use the chatting box that google friends connect supply?

Ideally its best if they do login to your forum to access this as this is a service to members as opposed to non members. You can change the usergroups which have permission to see this by changing the conditional in the code. if they log onto the forum, they will need to log into this as well to be able to use it, but a cookie will ensure that they are logged in until they chose to exit it. best thing to do is to try it and see, This is a new experiance for me too!!! You will be able to connect to Orkut, Plaxo, Twitter, Netlog to name a few For a full Help page see here http://www.google.com/support/friendconnect/ I've also added it to my forum http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum and taken the conditional out so that everyone will be able to view, just so that you'll be able to see it working
