Is this plugin is used only for commenting or registering too?

How is the Facebook integration coming along? I would love to have that as a option.

Is it possible to use this third party providers to sign up for my blog?

So would this work with Blogger profile pics in wordpress? Or is it solely for authentication? Thanks!

Clean website Anant!

…ok, so i figured it out myself:
in third_part_accounts_login.php, line 51, you have to change the google url from whatever it was to:

‘https://www.google.com/profiles/USERNAME’

if you have already activated the plugin it seems it doesn’t help to deactivate and activate it again, you must manually update the appropriate entry in the database to the new url.

Of course, an even better solution than this URL would be to have some kind of prompt to the user asking for his/her google username, and then inserting the correct url to the form…

…eh, my blockquote tags got messed up there, so I repeat the last lines:
any other suggestions? Is it possible to just modify the plugin so that it uses a url of type google.com/profiles/username instead?

@Giovanni: Thanks for your response! However, as far as I can see I do have xml support in php. From my phpinfo:

XML Support active
XML Namespace Support active
libxml2 Version 2.6.30
XMLReader enabled
core library version xmlrpc-epi v. 0.51
php extension version 0.51
XMLWriter enabled

any other suggestions? Is it possible to just modify the plugin so that it uses a url of type google.com/profiles/username instead?

Make sure your server has php-xml module installed. That’s how I fixed the “OpenID authentication error” I was getting.

This is a great contribution! However, I’m having some trouble using this. With just OpenID activated, I can input my OpenID URL which is already associated with my account, and login without trouble. However if I activate the Third Party Accounts plugin, somehow this breaks - so when I input my OpenID URL I open a new account instead of coming to my existing one. Any ideas how to fix this?

Update: Actually, trying to post this comment with my OpenID I get “OpenID Authentication Error”… maybe related? The ID URL is fine, I have checked…
