Extension talk:OpenID/LQT Archive 1

I removed links to two sites that use the shitty old MW patch. It only works for MW 1.4.x, it's invasive, and it breaks your user database. Don't use it! --207.134.56.158 14:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The mentioned OpenID http://wikitravel.org/en/User:Evan does not seem to work. E.g. jyte.com says "Unable to find your OpenID server" and I could not find any openid related meta data on the page 83.135.213.203 00:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think there's a good reason for you to be trying to log in to sites with my OpenID. However, I switched all my Wikitravel accounts to use OpenID, so that user page is no longer a valid OpenID. -- wikitravel:User:Evan 00:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I am using Mediawiki 1.9.3. I created the table for OpenID in the database and added the require_once line to LocalSettings.php. I don't see the OpenID login page on SpecialPages. Two questions: 1. I changed $wgMainCacheType=CACHE_NOTHING to CACHE_ANYTHING. Is that okay? 2. Which of the configuration changes are required?


 * The OpenID login page won't show up in Specialpages. Just go to it directly, Special:OpenID. Eventually you should put a link to that in your MediaWiki:Loginprompt. 1. I don't know, but I think it should. 2. None of them are required, but I think it won't work very well unless you set the trust root correctly. Also, if you deny by default nobody can log into your server, so read the documentation about the Allow/Deny stuff, then set deny-by-default to false. --wikitravel:User:Evan 00:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Possible issue in 1.9: Whenever someone tries to view the page of a non-OpenID user, that page will error out into "Internal_error.html". I can stop this from happening by commenting out the code block in OpenID.php related to providing the X-XRDS header and meta tags.

else { $wgOut->addLink(array('rel' => 'openid.server', 'href' => OpenIDServerUrl)); $rt = Title::makeTitle(NS_SPECIAL, 'OpenIDXRDS/'.$user->getName); $wgOut->addMeta('http:X-XRDS-Location', $rt->getFullURL); header('X-XRDS-Location', $rt->getFullURL); }

But I'm not familiar with what exactly is causing the error; I do know it wasn't an issue with 1.8.whatever. Since I don't need to provide OpenID server capabilities, I have just commented it out, but I thought I'd put the issue here in case anyone runs into the same problem or knows how to fix it.

 * I had the same error as this user (I'm running 1.9.3), but I haven't managed to get OpenID working regardless, so I don't know what's going on. Commenting out this block did indeed stop the '500' errors that occurred when I tried to view my own userpage! No problem on user talk pages, or even IP pages I think. pfctdayelise 15:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Fatal error: Class 'Services_Yadis_ManagerLoader' not found in .../pear/php/Auth/OpenID/Consumer.php on line 307
line 307: $loader = new Services_Yadis_ManagerLoader;

According to this Services_Yadis_ManagerLoader is located in /Services/Yadis/Manager.php (line 199). But this Services_Yadis_ManagerLoader is not defined in my Manager.php, at least.

which version of this package was this extension successfully used with? pfctdayelise 12:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * OK evidently installing OpenID and installing Yadis is NOT the same as installing Yadis through OpenID. wtf.

./pear install --alldeps -f http://www.openidenabled.com/resources/downloads/php-openid/pear/Auth_OpenID-1.2.2.tgz I re-installed OpenID and it seemed to update the files properly. Now I'm back to the errors without any detail whatsoever, yay... :/ --pfctdayelise 12:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
