Superticket: #1343
Creation of accounts from OpenID causes large number of problems:
- No guarantee of other profile info
- Poor username (just from openid)
We therefore will:
- Require creation of user account via register (no auto-creation of accounts via openid)
- sidebar of register page should point to login page rather than openid signin
- Permit association of an openid with an account ...
- How: paste in your openid url (requires change to edit form to have this)
- won't work for google with their weird openid urls
- [future] Nicer way is to have login via openid while logged in (which association then happening in background)
- How: paste in your openid url (requires change to edit form to have this)
- Migration (for 1+2):
- (?) Generate decent usernames for all existing accounts
- As this is nontrivial suggest instead we allow editing of usernames (by account owner and sysadmins). This is useful in its own right and is a reasonable 80/20 solution.
- [optional] Change display_name to always be username
- Change My Account to Username at top right of all pages (once we know
usernames are short ...)
- could do this straight away by truncating long usernames (e.g. truncate at 20 chars ...)
- Also should we lose the icon?
- Change My Account to Username at top right of all pages (once we know
usernames are short ...)
