The OpenID consumer is somewhat fixed. Some data cleanup still needs to be done for failed connections, but I can worry about that later.

Any suggestions to clean up the form, and display:none the deselected option blocks on demand? Preferably a pure css solution, but I’m not sure how to select based on radio buttons being checked (doesn’t seem to be a dom property).

Update: Nothing in CSS/DOM can get this done natively, so I’m using a little javascript to hide blocks for deselected entries. The show/hide is done using css, and degrades to showing all 3 blocks if the javascript doesn’t execute.

My openid customer plugin was broken by WP2, because the authentication methodology I was hooking into has changed, as well as some table shifts.

So I’m going to have to redesign some of it. Tomorrow morning.

Dang. Thanks for the heads-up Rob. Looks like the upgrade to WP2.0 /did/ break something. Probably a table layout.

I rather hope noone comments on the LJ feeds at all, but I can’t really stop them. All I can do is not read them myself, and hope everyone else does likewise.

Hm, I suppose, at this point, I’ll have to hope that people actually leave comments here, rather than use the rather odd LJ capability of adding comments to the syndication feed itself. I’d hate to have to add both your blog and the LJ syndication feed to my list of RSS feeds just to keep up with both your words, and those of the people responding.

Additionally, attempting to login using OpenID throws up some really freaky SQL errors. Not sure if I did something wrong or what, but…
