Update:\u00a0 There are now excellent community-based and commercial implementations of Information Card code for WordPress, php, ruby, “C”\u00a0and other languages.\u00a0\u00a0I've left this zip here for documentary and pedagogical purposes only.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I've been wanting to share\u00a0my experiences\u00a0adding Information Card support to identityblog<\/strong> for\u00a0quite a while\u00a0now.\u00a0 I just haven't had the time.<\/p>\n

I started by publishing my work on building the necessary code for handling secure identity tokens.\u00a0 But then I got interrupted with the necessities of life – like shipping Cardspace.<\/p>\n

Anyway, now I'm ready to\u00a0present my\u00a0integration code.\u00a0 Very little of it is unique to WordPress – it is really\u00a0code that would in general apply just as much to any other piece of software.\u00a0 Someone could easily factor\u00a0my code\u00a0so the\u00a0interface\u00a0is a little cleaner\u00a0than is currently the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When\u00a0I had to actually alter wordpress files (only 3 of them), I just show the changes that are necessary.\u00a0 You'll have to download the original files<\/a> from wordpress to see what I'm talking about (version 2.0.4) in context (usually not necessary unless you are making the changes in your own version.)<\/p>\n

Download<\/strong> my contribution here<\/a>.\u00a0 My assumption is that the root of this download is the same as the root of the wordpress directory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[WARNING<\/strong>:\u00a0 DO NOT INSTALL THE WORDPRESS FILES\u00a0 FROM MY ZIP INTO YOUR OPERATIONAL WORDPRESS DIRECTORY!\u00a0 IF YOU WANTED TO USE THIS CODE, YOU WOULD NEED TO MANUALLY INTEGRATE THE CHANGES I HAVE MADE TO MY VERSION OF THE WORDPRESS\u00a0FILES INTO YOUR\u00a0VERSION OF THE SAME FILES..\u00a0 THIS NO LONGER MAKES SENSE SINCE THERE ARE EXCELLENT (SUPPORTED!!) VERSIONS AVAILABLE. ]<\/p>\n

The files all begin with “infocard” so they're easy to delete if you want to.<\/p>\n

I'll be publishing a number of pieces\u00a0explaining why I\u00a0took the approaches it did.\u00a0 I hope this will get some good, concrete conversation going.\u00a0 The first\u00a0in this series\u00a0is uncharacteristically wordpress specific – don't get discouraged if you're looking for something more general.\u00a0 It talks about\u00a0how I approached changing the wp-login\u00a0page.\u00a0 I'm pretty sure that even people thinking about infocard-enabling other products will find some ideas here that help them out.<\/p>\n

Like my previous work, you can use this code\u00a0in whatever way you want.\u00a0 My goal is to help as many people as possible understand, use and deploy information cards.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 <\/strong>Thanks to Samuel Rinnetm\u00e4ki<\/strong> for pointing out\u00a0the need to warn\u00a0readers not to install “as is” in an operational directory – it had never occured to me they might do this…\u00a0 I've edited the\u00a0 ZIP<\/a> to make this\u00a0impossible (09-02-2008).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
