Hello,

I would like that users can login easy with open id, this is the idea:
https://rpxnow.com/

I am not a coder, and i dont know if i can integrate... could anyone help me?

I think is a very good option to increment the new registers and the participation of the users.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
There is a mod for phpbb3, may be some one can port this mod to icy:

It is not easy to adapt OpenID to Icy Phoenix.

I tried once, but I gave up, because there where too many files to be edited and too poor documentation about OpenID at that time.

Personally I wouldn't use OpenID in a forum even if that could increase the participation rate. But that's only my opinion and it rely on the fact that if a user is really interested, there is no problem in register an account... I don't like "fake" users.

I didn't want to discourage you or any other potentially interested user.

I hope someone else is interested and could help in the process of porting.
