But it would be nice to also offer support for phpMyID (http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/). That's what I use to make my own domain, my openID. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-13636 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:46:04 +0000 a-bishop 13636@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Why doesn't bbPress allow to login users already logged to WP? I can see them in the list of my forum users (a-bishop.com e.g.). But when I try to login, bb-login.php strips the dot and login name becomes "a-bishopcom". </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-13542 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:58:45 +0000 _ck_ 13542@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have now put together some basic code which successfully interacts with OpenID servers. </p> <p>Unlike other solutions it doesn't requires any other libraries or special languages/features on the server other than CURL support (with SSL) which is fairly common.</p> <p>Unfortunately during this time OpenID has upgraded to 2.0 and certain providers like Yahoo will only accept 2.0 queries and not 1.1 which is all the code can handle.</p> <p>But if there is any serious interest, I could get bbPress to accept openid from wordpress.com/livejournal/aol/etc. which continue to allow 1.1 </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-12193 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 13:38:37 +0000 baptiste 12193@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Did anyone find that you could piggyback onto the WordPress integration/authentication when using the OpenID plugin? It didn't work for me. I had the plugin activated on my WordPress site and was able to login and create users just fine, but bbPress didn't know about the credentials and wouldn't login.</p> <p>I need to get more familiar with how the integration is working - I thought it would work fine since it created a normal Wordpress user record. But it kept saying the userid was unknown... Will probably dig into it later. The WP plugin is great - the persona fill in stuff is very cool. Only quirk was my 'Display As' defaulted to the userid even though a name was included. But I digress. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-9791 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:06:31 +0000 Null 9791@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>A plugin would be best I think. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-9790 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:56:05 +0000 sambauers 9790@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>There are some very specific requirements to claim one of those OpenID bounties. bbPress doesn't have enough users to qualify.</p> <p>Currently I can't imagine bbPress getting native OpenID support, so a plugin is your best bet.</p> <p>I'm happy to help with the plugin, I'm pretty familiar with bbPress' authentication routines. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-9789 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:13:41 +0000 so1o 9789@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>If you integrate bbpress and wordpress.. you can use openID plugin for google on bbpress as you will be sharing the users from wordpress on bbpress.. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-9784 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 07:12:27 +0000 _ck_ 9784@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Too bad Google also has it's own API and doesn't do openid (yet?)<br /> But in theory bbpress could be made to use google identities... interesting....</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/Authentication.html" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/Authentication.html</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wanted-openid-for-bbpress#post-9783 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 06:56:49 +0000 _ck_ 9783@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Apparently there is a $5000 bounty for putting openid into a project?
