Hi, I posted this before, but didn''t get an answer, so I''m trying again. I''ve recently decided to use OpenID to let users log in to my site instead of old fashioned account creation. They''ll be able to add a small amount of personal details (about three things) to their account, and post messages in the site BB. I have an openid_users table which stores the personal details in. Obviously I''ve got validates_uniqueness_of :openid in the model, and I''ve linked it as required to the BB tables. Do I need any other tables or other basic model methods, or is that it? When I set it all up properly, I''ll be using the OpenID plug-in, and follow those docs, but for now, I just need to know the basics. Thanks -Nathan
Hi Nathan ~ This is a very open ended question. I think that is why your''re not getting an answer. I would say, build it! See if it works and if not refactor. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of how to do it. When you run into trouble post more specific question. ~ Ben On 5/27/06, njmacinnes@gmail.com <njmacinnes@gmail.com> wrote:> > Hi, > I posted this before, but didn''t get an answer, so I''m trying again. > > I''ve recently decided to use OpenID to let users log in to my site > instead of old fashioned account creation.

Oh, well thanks for the reply. I''m just not sure how this whole OpenID thing works, and I didn''t want to think I''d got it all set up properly, then have to change everything later on. But you saying "It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of how to do it", has answered my question (even though you probably didn''t think it would when you wrote it). So thanks. -N On 27/05/06, Ben Reubenstein <benr@x-cr.com> wrote:> Hi Nathan ~ > > This is a very open ended question. I think that is why your''re not getting > an answer. I would say, build it!
