Google +1 Proper ID in user profiles.

Hi Guys..

Trying to figure out Google +1.

So i put my profile id in my profile > identities > 100716089605542832060. However when clicking on any post in my forums, the user id is doubled with a / in the middle which does load my +1 OK in FF. But returns a 404 on my Android browser. 

I’m looking around at different sites for a profile widget and see the url should be: plus.google.com/100716089605542832060. While the URL generated by SP is: plus.google.com/u/100716089605542832060/100716089605542832060. So I’m a little bit confused which URL is supposed to be correct?

The shorter URL also returns a 404 on the Android browser. And to think it’s a Google phone running Google code and apps!

On here and my site I have only the number. Just curious how it’s getting doubled with a / in-between.

no, here your google plus link is:  https://plus.google.com/u/100716089605542832060/100716089605542832060

which is correct… I dont see any double slashing here on yours or mine…

but you only want the number if in the profile entry…  we put the ‘u’ in ourselves…

But in my Google Plus permalink there is 0/ after ‘u’.

That’s one of the new ID’s Google is rolling out, i was offered one yesterday.

I do believe all you have to put in SP profile G+ identity is GiacomoPapasidero. Did you try it?

Nada!

The same error 404…

I see what’s happening. SP is somehow putting the ID in twice.

Used your ID in my SP forum to test it. I’m not a programmer but I’m thinking Steve or Andy coded that line for numbers. SP is bonking the new G+ identities. See attached screen grab.

Yes, ok… but how can i fix it?

It’s something the SP guys will have to code. Nothing we can do for now.

I just noticed that SP is doubling the G+ ID numbers but that works. Just the new name format it don’t like.

I’m sure the SP guys will promptly come up with a fix. wink

you guys have lost me…  google plus still has the username in it double – or at least still supports it…  it just redirects it to a single version…  mine works fine…   google has so many damn different versions that works…

fidosysop yours works fine here…

Giacomo, your works fine too…  https://plus.google.com/u/106723957990441511383/106723957990441511383

what are you entering in the profile??  the only thing you should have entered for google plus is:  106723957990441511383

since we started this, google plus has changed the format no less than 6 times…  not going to chase that moving target if one of the original versions still works…

Hey Steve, Google is rolling out usernames to substitute for the long hard (nearly impossible) to remember Google+ id numbers. I was offered one for my eBayMotorsSucks profile yesterday but declined it. Apparently Giacomo accepted and Google takes your first and last name to make up the ID.

I tried entering GiacomoPapasidero into my blogs Simple Press G+ profile to test it. The link above does work, but not when entered into SP. But i guess if the number is still available and is working so I’ll just keep use it if i accept a new username.

Man, I tell ya, it’s a bitch keeping up with all these changes!

Regards, Ed

We will have to see if we can find a way to cater for both old and new.
