MicroID: how to do it idiomatically?

Hi,
The more I learn within Flux, the more I'm impressed, but the more I confused I get as to the "right" way of doing things. I'm trying to insert a MicroID into my CMS (oh look--you've written a function already) and was wondering how to do it the "right" way. For now, I've inserted it as a couple of lines within the <head> portion of master.xsl: <meta name="microid"> <xsl:attribute name="content"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($requestUri,'/index.html')"> <xsl:value-of select="php:functionString('bx_helpers_openid::microid', 'me@...', concat(substring($webrootLang,0,string-length($webrootLang)), substring-before($requestUri,'/index.html')))"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="php:functionString('bx_helpers_openid::microid', 'me@...', concat(substring($webrootLang,0,string-length($webrootLang)), $requestUri))"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:attribute> </meta> (Pardon the tortured syntax to work around my failings in XPath. I'm out of shape with it.) The real question I have is: how do I programmatically get the email address (of user #1 by default, I would presume)? I guess the next question is, how does this get generalised for other installations? Would it be worth a plugin? Should the computed path be pre-charged (precomputed as a variable)? Is there an internal variable that I'm not aware of that will give the appropriate URL for MicroID purposes (no trailing slash or index.html)? Thanks, adam -- bitflux-cms mailing list bitflux-cms@... http://lists.bitflux.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/bitflux-cms |

There's no real way, IIRC. You have to write a helper function for that. > I guess the next question is, how does this get generalised for other > installations? Would it be worth a plugin? I'm not sure, if it's worth a plugin, there's not much more that 3 helper calls for that. AFAICS at least. > Should the computed path be > pre-charged (precomputed as a variable)?

Thanks, Chregu.
Blogged a slightly better solution at: http://lindsay.at/blog/archive/2006/11/12/openid-and-microid.html (The tricky concat/translate is to delete any trailing slashes, which is part of the MicroID spec.)
