integration. but I don't like the join page popup(because the popup
window size don't fit iphone screen size).
so I want to know, how to using the opensocial api to controle user
join the site.
for example.
1.user input the google account (username/password)
2. using the api for user auth
3. if auth =rue , join he to the site
thanks

For a number of security reasons, this isn't currently possible.
However, handling mobile phone logins gracefully is a great idea, and
I'll be sure to let the Friend Connect developers know there's
interest.

Actually, I just went through the login process on the iPhone, and
honestly, it's not that bad. The popup window could certainly be
reformatted a bit to be more readable for that screen size, but it's
totally usable the way it is, at least when signing in with a Google
account. It should be noted though, that if any OpenID providers
don't reformat their sign-in process for mobile devices, you will
still see the large window size problem when logging in with them, no
matter what Friend Connect does.

Yes, it can be used. need iphone zoom page for operation.
for developer is ok, for end user it don't friendly. so I hope to change screen size fit iphone screen.
Recently, my application only support google account from gfc, so if the google provider
support the page format is ok. but I don't know how to controle the gfc screen size
for iphone full screen. if you have some idea, please tell me, thanks.
