Check out this pamelaproject announcement:  a new update for the PamelaWare for Wordpress plugin has been released – the new version can be downloaded here:  https://pamelaproject.com/svn/pw/pwwp/branches/RB-0.9/dist.  You’ll know you’ve got the right version when you see “Plugin Version: 0.9 + WP 2.7 fixes” on your console:

The wptest blog is already running this version of the plugin if you want to try it out, and I’m upgrading this blog as we speak (DONE)- you’ll know the upgrade is done when clicking the ICI logo takes you right to the selector. More information on the issues fixed for this release are on the Pamela Project site: http://pamelaproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42.

After some initial worries, it looks like Wordpress 2.5 and PamelaWare 0.9x are compatible.

The only thing that breaks, is that the Wordpress login page designers just *had* to change the color of the login page to be dark text on a light background, compared to the earlier versions where the text was white and the background was dark.

You have to edit admin.pw.php to fix this, as I didn’t want to include the entire .css file every time the login page was loaded — look for a function called pw_loginform_link, and replace the html portion with this:

<hr />
<a href="<?php echo PW_SECUREPLUGINURL . '/' . PW_PLUGIN; ?>/login/infocard-login.php"
        alt="<?php pw_utils::screenPrint('Infocard Login'); ?>"
        style="border: 0; color: #000">
       <?php pw_utils::screenPrint('Login or Register using an Information Card'); ?>
       <br/>
       <img src="<?php echo PW_IMGURL; ?>/infocard_60x42.png"
              style="padding:10px; border: 0" />
 </a>
 &nbsp;
<a alt="<?php echo __('What is this?'); ?>"
        style="border-bottom: none; color: #fff"
        href="http://pamelaproject.com/">
         <?php echo __('(what is this?)'); ?>
</a>

Well, it’s taken me 4 months longer than it should have… but:

The new version of PamelaWare is out!    If you are a new user, check out the Installation Guide for download and setup links.  If you are upgrading, check out the Upgrade Guide for everything you’ll need…

The goal after this version is to release frequently.  I think  I can do this now

Some of the MANY features of PW-wp v0.9:

• We integrate into existing wordpress login pages — this allows co-existence with other authentication plugins.
• We no longer do our own token processing — we rely on the experts at the phpInfoCard project to take care of things like C14N (canonicalization) and other important protocol functions, as well as parse claims and validate signatures.
• We allow administrators to choose their trust models for personal and managed cards separately – for each type of card they can trust everybody, nobody, or ask for email validation to keep it honest.
