[plugin: WP-OpenID] Not compatible with WP Mollom

Hi,

I’m the developer of the WP Mollom plugin. Just wanted to say here that I have similar problems as other developers.

If I try to post a comment with additional fields in the $_POST variable to wp-comments-post.php, those fields are being dropped when WP-OpenID redirects the browser to the OpenID provider. If tried to solve the issue in my plugin with cookies or sessions and the likes, but I couldn’t figure out a safe and simple solution.

The fact that the comment_tagging() function is hooked to the preprocess_comment hook with a priority of -9999 isn’t really helping here.

Then again, I also worked the Simple OpenID plugin. That project is now defunct because I couldn’t make the redirect work after the WP team tightened security and blocked $_GET requests to wp-comments-post.php 🙂 So, I know that OpenID brings a whole range of issues in terms of developping a clean solution for WordPress.

My guess is that this issue doesn’t only affect me but any plugin that hooks extra $_POST fields to a comment. It Would be great if you could take a look at this and support extra $_POST fields when a comment is made.

With regards,
