## Description

This plugin integrates WordPress sites with Glome.

Each visitor can get a “Soft Account” by a single click. Users can link soft accounts
across multiple devices.

A visitor with soft account can act as a registered user, in fact he or she will
receive a regular, but anonymous WordPress account. There is no need for going through
the standard registration process by filling in and submitting forms.

The plugin consists of a few widgets, a user page and a settings page for WordPress
administrators.

Site admins can add the widgets to their WordPress widget area. With these widgets
the site’s visitors will be able to create fully functional WordPress accounts as
mentioned above.

Two widgets will let these newly created anonymous, “soft accounts” to be linked
with other anonymous accounts. The same WordPress site accessed by the same person
on multiple devices can be personalised without ever asking for user names, email
addresses or passwords.

This will make the WordPress site stand out from the rest.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * The “One-Time Access” and the “Glome Key” widgets are available to gain access
   to the Wordpress site.
 * [[
 * After gaining access one will be able to pair other devices. It can be done by
   scanning a QR code, or opening the corresponding URL. We also take advantage 
   of modern browsers that can work with cameras directly (via WebRTC).

## Installation

Download and unpack the plugin to the WordPress server’s plugin directory.

Login to WordPress as an administrator.

Find the installed Glome plugin in the Plugins menu and activate it.

After activating the plugin please go to the Glome settings page under the Settings
menu. Click the “Request API Credentials” button and wait until the page displays
the acquired Glome API credentials.

Once the API credentials are shown you are ready to add the widgets.

## FAQ

#### Do you have a demo site?

Yes, we do. Please [click here for a working demo](http://wp.glome.me).

#### What does the Glome API access mean?

By clicking the button on the plugin’s settings page Glome will grant exclusive,
non transferable, basic API access rights to your WordPress site.

For more details on API plans please visit [Glome’s website](http://glome.me).

#### What are the UI elements of this plugin?

The plugin has only widgets that can be added to your user interface. Please see
the next question about adding the widgets.

#### How do I add widgets?

The widgets of the plugin can be added to the Widget area once the API credentials
are granted. Navigate to “Appearance -> Widgets” in the WordPress admin pages and
drag and drop the following widgets from the “Available Widgets” list to the “Widget
Area”:

 * Glome One-time Login
 * Enable the one click anonymous WordPress account creation and login.
 * Glome QR For Pairing
 * Display a QR code for linking anonymous accounts on multiple devices.
 * Glome Scanner Pairing
 * Enable a web based QR scanner. This feature will only work on browsers that support
   WebRTC. Please see [this page](http://caniuse.com/#feat=rtcpeerconnection)
    for
   further details.
 * Glome Notification Broker
 * Enable a websocket based notification channel between the Glome API and the WordPress
   website. Websockets support can be checked at [this website](http://caniuse.com/#feat=websockets).

Note! The title of these widgets can be customised.

#### What are the Glome specific settings?

The Glome settings page displays the following:

 * API Base Path: address of the Glome API server.
 * API UID: UID for this particular WordPress site.
 * API Key: API key for this particular WordPress site.
 * Activity Tracking: Glome registers the URLs the user has been visiting on this
   WordPress site if this option is enabled. By default this option is disabled.
   Note! Individual users should also agree to submit data to Glome on their behalf!
 * Clone Name: paired accounts can have the same display name, if this option is
   enabled. By default this option is disabled.

#### Where did you get the JS QR scanner from?

Kudos to LazarSoft for the amazing JS QR scanner [http://www.webqr.com/].

Please be aware that only a few browsers support the API needed by the scanner.
