You cannot have login system like that, where the visitor enters his google login information to access your website. And you are right, you can have login system from google where the visitor enters his google login information to access features provided by google on your site (facebook connect).

 

However you can use OpenID to enable the visitors to log in to your site using thier OpenID. OpenID is an ID which a visitor can use to login websites who have OpenID incorporated in thier websites. It is being used in thousands of websites. You may visit these websites for more information:

i believe there is ...hmm try googleing it the name OpenID sounds familiar there should be some sort of java script code or html code for you to put on your website, but it will be hard to find, due to the problem that google blocks there login id from a different server other than theirs because of hackers.altough i take that back seems that you have found a way to do it . but to redirect you to your own customized gmail login page.
