Finally, OpenID made simple!

Just want to weigh in and say this is a GREAT piece of code. Took me about an hour to get it working. It's simple and clear. Don't worry too much about that rather negative article linked to above.

I was rather concerned too until I saw the follow-up at the bottom, where he seemingly admits most of his concerns aren't terribly valid or applicable to most of us. He indeed emphasizes the main advantage - write your login page and forget about it. The account splintering is a BIG deal though, so that does cause me to have to wait to touch it until that sort of thing is figured out, if I had a bunch of splintered accounts like that I'd be piiiissed.

What do you mean by account splintering and why does it concern you?

I got the OpenId library working easily, and it's working very well - it authenticates the OpenID and reports success if the OpenID is valid.

But, my requested additional info - nickname, fullname, email, etc. - is not coming back yet.

$config['openid_required'] = array('nickname');
$config['openid_optional'] = array('fullname', 'email');
[.....]
$this->lang->load('openid', 'english');
$this->load->library('openid');
$this->config->load('openid');
$request_to = site_url($this->config->item('openid_request_to'));

$this->openid->set_request_to($request_to);
$response = $this->openid->getResponse();

So far I don't see the nickname, fullname, or email, anywhere in the returned data. What is the correct way to get this additional info?

Thanks in advance to all for any info.

Mappings, Has anyone used the RPX Pro account and extended this module to include mappings, I'm looking at it right now, However it's a weekend, this is a pet project and i'm feeling lazy.

Just wondering if someone else had looked at this, Seems like a very good idea, seeing as users have several accounts and generally forget what they did with them.

The big one is how do you organise adding multiple users in a way that makes sense. Probably too hard for a lazy Saturday. Might tackle it during the week.

[quote author="adamp1" date="1254770452"]I'm using this for a new review site. I have to say when I saw this it made my day.

I am hoping to interoperate it as well into the next version of BackendPro if anyone here is interested.[/quote]

Hi
I would definitly be interested
has this feature been integrated into BackEndPro yet
or is it still underconstruction ?

I 'remix' this this solution with code from http://trac.hossainkhan.info/itcrpx/
