Google authorization stopped working

Hi,

For the recent few hours we can see that the plugin does not work for Google authorization. Has anything changed with the Google logging in process? We had not changed anything with our Joomla website recently.

Update:
Many our users use Google accounts for logging in but it seems that they lost this possibility today.

So far I tried many different solutions I could imagine, including upgrading the JFBConnect plugin and checking settings both in Google API project and Joomla / plugin.
After all didn't work, I created a new app (project) in Google according to this tutorial (btw it needs some update): www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/soci...le-application-setup
But it changed nothing.

The effect is still the same:
when clicking on the Google+ button on my Joomla website, it first redirects me to the google page, next it requires from me choosing my Google account (assuming I didn't do this before), and after several seconds I'm redirected again to... Joomla login page, like nothing happened. Clicking again on the Google+ login button (provided by the plugin) brings the same result: at the end I'm redirected to Joomla login page on my website.

I was checking the Debug console - what I've got for Google+ is this:

"com_jfbconnect": {
"login": {
"return": null
}
}

I.e. null value.
Interestingly, for Facebook it works well, and we get normal data when users tries to log in through their facebook accounts.

I also tried to make some further debugging, and I can see that there is the possibility to enable the "Debug Mode" option in the JFBConnect configuration page. So I enabled it for both "Logging only" and fully enabled settings. But the logging system in the pluging seems to log not much... For example, we get no entries about people logging in (for facebook they should work, as stated above), and even about error login trials.
The question is: what information the jfbconnect.log file is supposed to store?

Looks like I have the same problem, only with one user on one of my sites. I remember something with OpenID and Google +, could it be related to this? I noticed every other user on my site has a Google+ account.
This user is relatively new, maybe he doesn't have a Google + account (yet)?

SourceCoast-Alex? Any thoughts on this?

Okay I know I'm hijacking someone else's topic here (sorry Lukasz!), but my problem is solved.

Summary: this particular user's Google account had been shut down. After a while, my client opened a new Google account for the user, but inbetween JFBConnect had noticed that the Google account no longer existed. Some way JFBConnect couldn't connect his new Google account to the existing Joomla user.

Solution: I altered his existing account and created a new one using JFBConnect. The user was able to login again!

New problem: All the actions connected to this user had to stay intact and they could only be connected to this one user, so I had to merge both accounts. I did this by swapping the IDs. And, you may have guessed: user was no longer able to login.

Solution: I dug a little deeper and looked at the user information in the JFB User map. Two accounts, one with and one without social profile. I headed for the JFB User map table in the database. Swapping the IDs in there as well did the trick.

User happy, client happy, I'm happy.

Alex,

All caching is disabled. SEF is disabled. Debug Mode in JFBConnect configuration is On. We can see in the log a message: Settings updated! No errors, warnings or any other info during sing in attempts.

All users can sign in / sign up with FB, no users can sign in / sign up with G+ (although it was possible 4 days ago an no changes were made by us).

We updated JFBConnect to the newest version 8.0.3 and created new G+ API credentials (on two separated Google accounts) and tested it. Unfortunately, it did not help.

I'll send you links and other data in a private message.

Lukasz

Alex, is there any progress on the issue?

Alex, we do have OPCache installed but the files are updated after every change. I can see the changes you made to phpinfo file, thus I would like you to check again.

We moved around 2 months ago to a new VPS server and did not upgrade JFBConnect since then (except development environment after the break of G+ authentication). Although server configuration could be the problem I don't think that's the case or at least there are not enough reasons to claim that.

Yes, we are aware that files like phpinfo shouldn't be available publicly but this is our development environment and I made it public only for your support. Honestly, I hoped it won't take more than a day or two. Now it's over a week. This is a real problem for our users because people that registered with G+ are having trouble to log in to their accounts and use the service they paid for. (Yes, we are giving instructions how to log in by email, but people in a rush don't read a lot.)

Alex, please take this seriously or just say straight you will not support us on this issue. We need to resolve that fast and if you can't help us then we will drop the plugin and make a workaround on our own. This is not the support I hoped for.

Regards,
Lukasz
