No shortage of bugs in the Cogmap OpenID implementation, it would seem. Another wave of patches just went in.

Was that comment kind of a spammy ad or was it me? But you did point out a valid bug, so props and much love! Your ad gets shown!

I think your site is pretty neat. It is simple, to the point and OpenID enabled, good work!

I am slightly frustrated at the moment because I made several changes/additions to the Vidoop chart here but then was unable to save them because I can not log in with OpenID and my changes now appear to be lost.

I can successfully verify my OpenID (http://kfox.myvidoop.com), but when I try to make an account, I enter my full name, and desired user name (kfox) then click ‘Join Now’ and am taken back to the home page (http://www.cogmap.com/#) No account is created or associated and I am unable to save any of the changes I have made. Please let me know if I can help troubleshoot further…

As a quick note, I work for Vidoop and we run an OpenID provider (http://myvidoop.com) which uses our image shield technology and allows for password-less authentication that is incredibly secure. We also have a password manager plugin which helps people manage all of their standard logins and passwords, since not every site supports OpenID yet :)

For site operators (like Cogmap) we run an affiliate program at http://affiliates.vidoop.com which gives you an easy way to refer members to myVidoop to get their OpenID account. Joining an affiliate program is a way for Cogmap to keep members from having to wade through all the providers on the OpenID wiki and possibly getting stuck with an unreliable provider.

The affiliate link can go anywhere and is very unobtrusive, here is an example of what it could look like: http://ma.gnolia.com/signin

We also integrated the ID Selector into our affiliate program so you can create your own ID Selector from within our affiliate site. You can see what Twitterfeed has done with this here: http://twitterfeed.com/auth/login

Hope this helps, sorry for the tome.

Keep up the good work!

Still a little friction here:

Hard to tell what the next step is after confirming one’s OpenID… maybe make the form a little easier to spot in order to complete the flow?

I had put off installing it for forever because I kept thinking that what we are obviously supposed to do is integrate the Cogmap logins and the blog ID stuff. I confess to the criminality that it never got done, but every time I thought about coding, I just coded up another feature. This always ends up way down the list.

So I continue to show love for OpenID in a desperate attempt to get the Vidoop team to show favor on this humble site!
