SteamProfile Integration
 

Description
Integrates SteamProfile badges into your forum. Allows forum users to see the current status of other members, including, adding them as Steam firends, viewing their profile, joining their current game and viewing their Team Fortress 2 backpack. The script accepts Steam IDs (ex STEAM_X:X:XXXXXXXX), Steam Community IDs (17 digit number) or Steam Community Aliases. I have included my vB4 skin as the default for the widget.

Example Of The Badges (Demo Coming Shortly)

Installation

5. Save.
6. Go to AdminCP > User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field > Single-Line Text Box.

Version History
1.0.0 - Initial Release
1.0.1 - Fixed Quote Overlap Issue

Installed, but I can't find the profile. Any thoughts?

How do you resolve this error?

Cache directory "cache" is not writable.

Thanks,

--Slim

Nevermind the cache error. I resolved it by chmod 777 /forum/steamprofile/cache.

I have a new error:

cURL extension not loaded

What am I missing now?

Thanks,

--Slim

Make sure you fill in your ID.

Go to Settings > Forum Settings > (The Input Box You Named Should Be Near The Bottom).

I am sorry, I cannot recreate this error. Is there any additional information you can provide?

I have an issue, look at this link at post number 2 http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/s...full=1#post195

as you can see, the quoted text goes over the steam signature, how do I fix that?

Thanks.

One user on my forum has only 4 digits number one he's Steam ID like STEAM_0:1:111

He get This user has not yet set up their Steam Community profile.

If you display it there, then the quote will be hiding it. So if a player quotes at the start of his post it will be overlapping the steamprofile pic from what I tested.

Seems like that your Curl PHP module is not loaded. Ask your Hoster to enable this for you.

So is there a way to fix it??

well, you cant stop the overlapping I guess. So a solution would be placing it somewhere else^^.

Fixed. Updated to version 1.0.1. Upgrade instructions are in the original post.

Well, if your users would like to take advantage of this mod, they will have to have a stream profile setup; there's no way around this. As for the short steam id, you could just delete or modify "regular expression". Example:

How can I add the Steam Profile thing below the Post Count. Example.

I've installed everything correctly, and even used my 2 ID's *SteamID and profile ID*, both doesn't work. It doesn't show anything new in posts. I even replaced the X with the new profile field number that is correctly with the new one. On top of that, all files are uploaded correctly, and it loads the script files correctly if I copy/paste them in the browser.

You can add Step 14's code to pretty much anywhere in your postbit. Play around and see what you can come up with. Post a screen if you find a good place to use it.

Are you possibly using another template other than postbit_legacy for you forum's postbit? Could you post the URL of the site you are trying to install this mod on?

Can you tell me what you did to make it appear on top of the quote in the style.css, what did you add/edit? Because I would like to configure something a bit so I need to know this. Thanks.

If I've done something wrong, I'd love to know. As far as I know, legacy is the one having the mini-profile in posts in the left.

It looks like you forgot, at least, the code from step 4. None of your forum pages have jquery or steam profile loaded.

Please let me know :)

If you check the source on any page, you'll see the code. I haven't changed anything.

I just did; twice. The code from step 4 is absent from your header.


Now compare yours to my WIP site; jquery-1.3.2.min.js and steamprofile.js both are included in the header:

Please switch to the default vb4 theme if you can. That's where I added it, not the xmas theme. You'll see this:

as you can see, the needed code is there :).

The only thing I can think of, without mucking around in your admincp, is that your "prettyphoto"'s jquery might be conflicting with the steamprofile's jquery. Try disabling prettyphoto and see if it solves the issue.

PrettyPhoto Disabled, still not working. Might be a possible plugin conflict with something else? Got these installed:

Anyone please?

Installed and have this error message
Error file_put_contents(cache/dd2841607e3f8f63b9700a394eb61445.xml) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission Denied

I also cant find my steam ID anywhere. Where would I find it?

The error I'm not too sure about, can you post a link to the board you installed on? As for your ID, you can use two types:

Steam Community ID/Alias

Go to Steam's community site and search for yourself using the search box on the top right. Click on your name and have a look at the URL. It should be something like "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197965018417" or "http://steamcommunity.com/id/robinwalker". Whatever comes after the last slash is your community ID. For the examples above, it would be "76561197965018417" or "robinwalker".

Steam ID

This is your in-game Steam ID used by mostly Valve games. It's a little more complicated to find, but you can try using this website.

1) whats the overhead on running this on large forums?

Thanks for the terrific addon.

I am not sure if this is a question I can ask in this forum but is there any possibly way to use this add on on 3.8? Would it be the code that needs to be altered or both the code and the files uploaded? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't know the answer to this. I would assume the largest load comes from the two js files that are uploaded.

Substitute the code from Step 14 to this:

Hopefully that works for you, I cannot support v3.8 beyond this, I don't have it installed.

Many thanks Mycologist.

The code worked perfectly.

Crap i dont konw what happened, but it stopped displaying the information for the steam signature . You can check out any post at www.brotherhoodofgamers.com it only shows the background now and nothing else, how do I fix this?

If it was working, now it isn't then it must have been something you did/installed/modified on your forum. I would backtrack your steps. (unless you can share something more about what happened)

I really have no idea, I didn't really modify much , I installed comichat i believe it's called at my site on the bottom its like facebook chat. but i checked postbit and header and all the codes are still there, so I have no idea why it wouldn't show up.

Everyting seems fine except when displaying the information, I've got this error:

I Haven't checked the code, but do you need some php extension in order to run that plugin?

Same Problem here, but after a fresh Install. example.html works fine, but in vB there is only the steam_id in the mouseover tooltip.

Internet exploder 8 seems to get this error, works good on FF.
