OpenID Comments for MT

This is a Movable Type plugin that empowers commenters on your Movable Type
site to log in using OpenID.

http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/
http://www.openid.net/


DEPENDENCIES

This software requires:

    * Movable Type 3.2

This distribution also contains the additional required Perl modules:

    * Net::OpenID::Consumer
    * Crypt::DH
    * URI::Fetch
    * Class::ErrorHandler


INSTALLATION

To install this plugin:

    1. Unzip the archive to your Movable Type directory.
    2. If running in cgi-bin, move mt-static/openid-comment to your
       existing Movable Type mt-static directory.
    3. On the Movable Type blogs that should accept OpenID sign-ins,
       edit your templates to add this template code before the
       comment form HTML:

           <MTOpenIDSignOnThunk>

    4. If "Require E-mail Addresses" is enabled on blogs that should
       accept OpenID sign-ins, disable it. The OpenID protocol does
       not provide commenters' email addresses, so this option is
       incompatible with OpenID sign-ins.


CONFIGURATION

If the <MTOpenIDSignOnThunk> tag does not meet your needs, you can insert the
necessary HTML into your templates yourself and customize it. The HTML is:

    <div id="openid">
        <form method="post" action="<MTOpenIDSignOnURL>">
            <input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="<MTEntryID>" />
            <input type="hidden" name="__mode" value="signon" />
            <p>
                <label>Your blog URL:</label>
                <input name="openid_url" size="35" value="" />
                <input type="submit" value="Sign in" />
            </p>
        </form>
    </div>

There is also an <MTLiveJournalSignOnThunk> tag that allows your visitors to
sign in with OpenID by entering just their LiveJournal usernames.
