Since yahoo now fully support openid 2.0 as well as soucgeforge, wordpress and there are modules for drupal and postnuke, anyone willing to take a look at this?

I think it would be a great feature for RN with less hassle for the users.
I would do it by myself, but this is above my php knowledge and programming skills.

Count on me if someone want to make experiments...

Very interesting indeed... The RavenNuke team is ramping up their work on 2.3.0 release, which is promising to include some form of CNBYA-like capability (sorry about being vauge, but with vagueness somes the flexibility to improve upon - <wink>). That is where our focus will be initially, but I love the idea, as well as supporting SSL.

Kugse,
that previous message went to dev/null probably because at the time of the post there weren't so much openid providers.
Tha was also the reason given by the developers of VBullettin not willing to implement openid.
Now yahoo give a huge base of users that already have an opeind, and I suppose google will follow. (they allow openid auth to comment on some of their blogs.).

According to wiki, OpenID is increasingly gaining adoption among large sites, with organizations like AOL, BBC, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Orange, VeriSign, Yandex and Yahoo! acting as providers. In addition, integrated OpenID support has been made a high priority in Firefox 3 and OpenID can be used with Windows CardSpace.

Pretty nice users base uh?

rnya ?

Posted: Thu May 08, 2008 6:32 am

Yes, I'm thinking we rename it rnya since cnbya no longer seems to be active, and this will have a number of RN mods. But if you have another suggestion, I'm all ears.

So far, I've:
- improved W3C compliance
- restructured a few areas, eliminating about 30K of duplicate code
- added configuration parms for controlling the use of all the default user fields (still need to add that to the administration),
- integrated nukePIE with Headlines Reader (Change Home)
- integrated TegoNuke Mailer (basic replacement of email, no HTML - yet)
- improved overall theme compatibility (by removing the background colors - ugly!)

There are some admin improvements on tap next, as well as some other improvements...

kguske, the offer still stands if you want to create a branch for this and carve out work for a few others of us to do, at your direction. Wink

Just don't want you doing everything for 2.3.0 now... Laughing

Some of the stuff is ad hoc, but much of it is borrowed from CNB 5.0. Adding TegoNuke was a cynch thanks to a great design Wink

.

How will the branch work?

Need any images/ icons let me know!

OK, the graphics need some work (or, possibly removal to work with the most themes) and the css needs improvement, but you can see the progress here:

The idea is to have a tabbed interface for working with several screens of configuration data. This uses a simple DHTML / JS script for tabs.

Now, on to cleaning up the code so it can be added to SVN for refinement.

The tab layout is definitely the way to go IMHO - much more efficient and user friendly than having to go to numerous seperate pages.
This is looking fabulous already Smile

Agreed. Looks awesome!

Just to clarify, those tabs were previously all sections on the same page. Too much scrolling. It also needs popup help, but not sure that's necessary in the first release.

This is what I'm implementing on a site at the moment for tips
http://demos.mootools.net/Tips
It doesn't require the full mootools framework so it is quite lite.
