open_id_authentication : openid_url -> openid_identifier

Reported by Morten Christensen | July 20th, 2008 @ 06:27 PM

open_id_authentication is hardcoded to rely on "openid_url" field names which is no longer used in OpenID 2.0. Instead "openid_identifier" should be used (see http://wiki.openid.net/OpenIDCha.... In order to comply with OpenID 2.0 open_id_authentication should deprecate the use of openid_url and use "openid_identifier" instead.

Nb. Just replace :openid_url with :openid_identifier in open_id_authentication.rb and it should work. Plugin users need to change their views as well.

    Alright, we'll need some deprecation code to warn users using the old variable in their forms. Can you whip that up?

    The deprecation message could read "'openid_url' has been deprecated in favor of OpenID 2.0 recommended 'openid_identifier' to reflect the fact that the identifier is not necessarily a URL. Remember to change any existing view and controller code to reflect this change"

    Does this help? Not sure where and how to add this to the plugin code (also not a git user).
