Multi-site login, need help...

[FireTree.us]

Heya,
I am wondering if anyone could suggest some possible solutions to create
a login form (using Joomla's pre-fabbed one) that would login to other websites
at the same time if the account information entered was the same. For example:
when I login on my website it would also log me into my GMail account and my
Photobucket account.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how this could be
accomplished? Thanks!

It is not possible for Gmail to authenticate since Google has really gone
betty-spaghetti with the way users login to Google Account.

For simple login forms that don't use JavaScript, you can copy the form
elements into a new DW page, delete all of the fields that require you to type
something in them and insert hidden fields in their place (make the values of
the Hidden Fields whatever you would normally type)

I went ahead and created a sample for you (I've done this before in a Single
Sign-On environment - I don't do this for
everyone)...[url]http://www.sgasinglesignon.com/ssoformlogin.htm[/url]. Just copy the
source code into your site.

And I hope I made SOME sense...

First of all... thank you!

Thanks for the info about Google. I definitely didn't know that.

All that definitely makes sense. And it's a step in the right direction but
not exactly what I was thinking. Take all three of those links and combine them
into one single form, and that's what I'm referring to. Does that make sense?

Oh, PS I have two accounts here FireTree.us and Spencer Hill, just in case you got mixed up.

You can't do it through one form - the form would need to write cookies to your
browser, validating your account onto the site and this can't be done unless
you know the site code or how to hack their cookies (I do not suggest doing so).

Yeah that's pretty much what I figured. That's too bad because I would love to
develop an application that could login and maybe even register people at
multiple sites at the same time. But that'd be pretty difficult if not
impossible without serious collaboration. Thanks anyway!
