OpenID Authentication

I've finished a first draft of an add-on to support OpenID Authentication. This requires no code changes and only one template change. The caveat however, is that it does require two third party libraries to handle the OpenID and Yadis protocols. I've only tested it on 3.5.4, but I'm pretty sure it should work in 3.6 (RC1) as well.

Right now, this add-on allows existing users to populate a custom profile field with their OpenID URL, and then use that for subsequent logins. This does NOT allow new users to register with their OpenID... they will still need to create an initial password and such as normal. I'd like to change that in a future release.

There is another problem I forgot about:

/*$fieldResult = $vbulletin->db->query_first('SELECT profilefieldid FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'profilefield WHERE title="' . $vbulletin->options['openid_field'] . '"');*/

That query no longer works. There is no "title" column in the profilefield table anymore. I hardcoded it for mine. You'll need to do something similar, or otherwise get the data from the phrase table.

Any Idea how I would add this to the admincp login page?

Anyone tried running this with vb4?

I am just learning about OpenID. I put in a request to have my dns changed and did all the work on the OpenID site. How, I need to have vB4 allow for it.
