IIRC, it's not exactly possible to use an OpenID for posting comments only, i.e. replacing the name/email/url form fields with a single OpenID field. You can use OpenID to log into S9y, but only in combination with a user account. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is correct. For the initial release ...

I have an updated version of the plugin available:
http://www.cdatazone.org/files/s9y/s9y_openid-0.2.zip

This version has a few minor changes:
- Adds capability to setup delegation so that the blog can be used as an OpenID via delegation to another OpenID.

- Removes a bunch of additional files ...

Mattsches,

How are you doing the delegation? I finally got around trying it with a delegated ID and it worked fine - added the link tags for the openid server and delegate to one o fmy sites and used it against my verisign openid.

Judebert,

It currently does A.

My origional code, that a few ...

Hi Mattsches,

However, I set up my own webserver as an OpenID identifier (to delegate my OpenID), and your plugin did not accept this URL, i.e. I couldn't save it in my account settings. This is a minor issue IMHO, but should be fixed in one of the next releases. If I find the time (which I doubt ...

For anyone interested I have the start of an OpenID plugin available:
http://www.cdatazone.org/files/s9y/s9y_openid.zip

This is a step back from a previous version some people have seen that provided a lot more functionality. Rather than writing the plugin the way I think things should work, I ...

I do see that need, but I see no way to make that happen.

The plugin framework now needs to be loaded BEFORE the user preferences are loaded, because we will need plugins to do things like user authentication. And that can only happen if the plugins run first in queue. But if a plugin runs first ...

Have another patch:
http://www.cdatazone.org/files/seren-auth-patch.patch.txt

Ran into this while testing OpenID that returns to an https page. For some reason the HTTP_HOST gets set with the port number appended which in turn causes Firefox to ignore setting the cookie (IE works correctly). Patch ...

in the moment - unfortunality (or fortunately?!) - I get normal trackback notifications. But I have a sample of the malformed:

Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2007 13:49:39 +0100 (CET)
Subject: [] [REQUIRES_REVIEW] NEW_TRACKBACK_TO Palmsonntag 2006

I've gone through the code and still can't see how that could ...

Hi Garvin,

Currently can't find any issues other than my observations noted in the following. I might need more clarification on the comments issue.
I am also using the latest source code from SVN (as of about 1 hour prior to this post).

He also reports that trackback notifications (where comment ...

I believe that all the problems were one in the same. Please let me know if I am incorrect there.

I have updated my patch to include the new language cookie: http://www.cdatazone.org/files/serendipity-lang.patch.txt
Old patch is still there just named with patch-old.txt in case someone wants it for ...

A quick test to see if there's any relation is to comment out the following block in serendipity_admin.php:
/* Check author token to insure session not hijacked */
if (! isset($_SESSION["author_token"]) || ! isset($serendipity['COOKIE']['author_token']) ||
($_SESSION["author_token ...

I take it the die() statement is from your debugging?
I am guessing that this has something to do with your session issue. The code in that art of the patch is a portion of working code from the current releases, with only the addition of some session testing.

What value do you happen to have after ...

For language detection: The perma-cookie could work. I would see it used as taking precedance over falling back to the system default language (pre-authentiction of course). So really it would typically be used once prior to establishing the language in session. The only question is where and when ...

So if I am understanding you correctly, the language only works correctly after going to a second page once the session has started? What is happening is the following:

first time you have no session, so the system default language gets used for the event plugins - as they have been loaded prior to ...

Here (hopefully) is the last needed patch. You can get it from http://www.cdatazone.org/files/serendipity-lang.patch.txt.
This includes the language support as well as the hook for a new backend_login hook. Here is a summary of the changes to language detection:
- within admin if a user saves their ...
