Google Friend Connect can’t show up
Google Friend Connect (GFC) is a great tool to enhance social connectivity for website/blog. When reader click on “connect”, it helps to add the feed into Google Reader. This is very much convenient way to follow a site.
You can easy to get the code from Friend Connect page (http://google.com/friendconnect/). If you do not have a Google account, please sign up one =) Lots of great stuff to enjoy.
Some user when add the Google Friend Connect’s Add Member widget, it show only a white box even when correctly insert the code from GFC.
After some search in the web, this appeared to be browser compatibility issue, and can be solve by adding a simple additional code [source].
If you are facing this problem (either WordPress or Blogspot), do add the code below just above the GFC code.
<script>
window.JSON = {
parse: function(st){
return st.evalJSON();
},
stringify: function(obj){
return Object.toJSON(obj);
}
};
</script>
Once done, the widget box should be showing like normal.
For blogspot blogger, you may need to use the “HTML/Java Script” method to add the code manually instead of use the “Followers” gadget directly from the page elements configuration.
