Adding a Google Sign-In

[mbeavers1]

Hi: I am looking for a way to link a Google Account with my website. Basically, I am creating a joint-use Google Account so that everyone has access to an embedded Google Calendar. I am trying to avoid having a user log on to the website with a user name and PW, then have to enter a Google UN/PW to add an event to the calendar. There is plenty of code out there from Google on how to do this, but I only see where you can edit Themes. Admittedly, I am a novice with little experience coding websites, but I am familiar with it from my college days in engineering. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Matt

I think the best way to do this would be to create a second Weebly account and when you sign up with that use Google+.  Once you've created this account, invite it as an editor of the site:

This should allow anyone who logs into that Google account to also log into Weebly and edit the site.

Thanks Adam:

I think I may not have been quite clear.  I actually don't want them to be able to edit the site, only the Google Calendar.  I will set up the Weebly website so that it have one UN/PW.  I want the users to be able to log on to the website to view everything without editing.  The Google part comes in because I embedded a Google Calendar.  I want the users to be able to add "events" to the Google Calendar.  

To do that with the embedded calendar, the user has to click on the little link at the btm right of the embedded calender which takes to to the actual Google Calendar.  This is where they would be need the link to Google.  I was hoping by being able to log into the Weebly website using Google Authentication which would allow them to open the Google Calendar without having to actually enter a second set of login information.

Does that make sense?

Does that make sense?

I have tried doing it, but to no avail. The Weebly account still cannot edit/monitor thru the Google-based Weebly account!

I'm not sure what you mean, @armoryrev. Are you having trouble logging into your account using Google?

[armoryrev1]

Yes. I cannot log-in using my Google account on my newly-installed Weebly app on phone. I tried creating a Weebly account, added it as editor to my main Weebly/Google account; but still to no avail. Please help.

Are you able to log into the account using Google login with a desktop or laptop computer? If you can then you can turn off Google login so you log in with an email address instead. To do that, click on the menu on the top right after logging in and choose Account Settings. Next, click on Manage Profile on the left, then click on the Google option and click the disconnect button. You may need to reset your password after doing this as well.
