Additional comment fields lost with openID plugin

  • Hello. I have the openID plugin installed so that users can comment at my site via openID authentication.

    However, I also have another plugin that adds some custom fields to the comment form.

    If a user is redirected to the openID auth page (off-site), these custom fields are lost. Standard fields are not, but fields added to the comment form by other plugins are.

    Is there a way / what must be done in order to ensure all fields on the comment form are sent all the way through the authentication and posting processes?

    Thanks,
    – Dave

  • Same problem here, I can’t use Spam Karma 2 with WP-OpenID.

    yes, I’ve run into this with other plugins (reCaptcha to be precise). Unfortunately there isn’t a really easy way to fix the problem in the short-term. Most of these plugins are looking directly to the $_POST array for the data they are expecting, which I can’t exactly forge. What I can do, and will probably look into this, is to capture the data, and then re-POST it after the OpenID dance. It should work in theory for most things (I don’t think it will work for reCaptcha) but I’d have to play with it a bit.
