Can the plugin be updated so that it generates the username as "firstname.surname" with a digit added is it's a duplicate? Otherwise, it's going to be very confusing for people when they want to share their profile URL.

This plugin works really well, I'm currently testing it on my dev site. However, when a user signs up with their Google account, the username that's generated is something like "google_user_5" which is obviously no good, as users aren't going to want to have a generated username like this.

Same problem here, it's impossible to use it like that! Any answer from the developer?

Oxwall it is leaving a lot in this regard should put some limits to publish a plugin first prove that the plugin works as advertised in the store and if not well remove it so as not to prejudice the Oxwall networks that somehow are those that have enabled Oxwall is popular...

However in your web demo looks good but tells us to other people how to make it in the same way as in your web....

I know that something has to change here but what are the correct codes?
$user->username = "google_user_" . $user->id;
BOL_UserService::getInstance()->saveOrUpdate($user);
BOL_QuestionService::getInstance()->saveQuestionsData(array('realname' => $params['name']), $user->id);
BOL_AvatarService::getInstance()->setUserAvatar ($user->id, $params['picture']);
Surely in this line of code is an error - says "dublicate" and "duplicate"
case BOL_UserService::CREATE_USER_DUPLICATE_EMAIL: OW::getFeedback()->error($language->text('glconnect', 'join_dublicate_email_msg'));

Sorry for my ignorance tired of seeing it and I did not realize what a simple solution have to go to settings - user settings and configuration screen and there you can choose between real name or username...

Jose, are you sure that's correct? I've got my site set to "Real Name" yet it still creates "google_user_x" as the username.

So you've got you user settings set to "Real Name" and is someone signs up using their Google account, their username is firstname.surname, or something similar?

As I said before I have changed real name and all google_user have been transformed into real name

It's not clear what you have the user settings set to. Have you changed it to Username?

Oops, sorry.
I didn't know that my plug-in enjoys popularity therefore here long ago I didn't look. I will make changes in the following updating.

By the way Facebook connect (fconnect) works by the same principle and gives user_665 logins. I proceeded from same.

Dmitry, maybe it does, but on my site I have it set up to be "real name" and the facebook connect plugin works, but your Google ones doesn't.
If a new user registers with the facebook connect plugin, their username will be something like john.smith. However, if that user logged in using your Google plugin, their username would be something like google_user_5.
If you could fix the issue, that would be awesome.

Is there anyway to set it to a default username then? Then the users can manually change it.

Hi guys, you can change the behavior by going to glconnect/controllers
and change the file connect.php to the one in attachment. Basically I
set the username to the google username, and then perform some checks (add an id
if the username exist already, replace accents and weird characters). It works for me but let me know if you have any issue :)
