Steam Mini Profiles (For Steam Connect)
 

This Addon displays a Mini Steam Box in the postbit template.

It requires the Steam Connect Addon to find the according Steam ID.
It's a vbulletin-implementation of Barracuda's SteamProfile Plugin.


INSTALL

1) Upload all the files inside "upload" directory to their respective locations

2) CHMOD directory "clientscript/steamprofile/cache" to 777

3) Import the product xml file as an Addon inside your AdminCP

4) Navigate to Settings > "Steam Mini Profile Settings" and configure the product to fit your needs.

BASIC STYLING

The best idea is to use it in the upper right corner of the postbit. You can accomplish this by adding this CSS to your CSS > additional.css template:

If you want to place it at any other position inside the postbit* template, follow the instructions in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....70&postcount=3
Just place the following part anywhere you like the profile to appear:

See Upgrade Notes for Upgrade v1.0 -> v1.1

But how can I move it? It's before post - but I would like to get it after post and aligned to right.

Thanks!

Hi

First, go to Admincp > Plugins, deactivate the plugin "add steam profile" in hook "postbit_display_start".

Then you navigate to Styles > Templates > Postbit > postbit/postbit_legacy (depends on what you're using)

Find:
Below, add:
Then Navigate to Styles > Templates > CSS > additional.css
Add this to the template somewhere:
Save

That's it!

You are fast!
Thanks a lot! :)

doesnt display the miniprofile...

i went and disabled the plugin hook ' Admincp > Plugins, deactivate the plugin "add steam profile" in hook "postbit_display_start". '

and i check the source of the html... it is where it needs to be, but it doesnt display...

any ideas?

ps. steam connect works 100%

View the source code of your forum and search for the term "steamprofile/ajax/steamprofile.min.js"
It should appear within the head-tags of your template. If it doesn't, you need to include the following line in your headinclude template manually:

Substiture example.com with your forum url.

its there... have looked around at all the settings, still no idea... all the files are in the right folders.. steam connect is 100% all settings look 100%.

http://www.wkaclan.com/ if you want to peak at the source. (youll only be able to see the news section, which should be enough to see the source of a page with it on it)

iv also tried it with this on and off

The plugin Add steamprofile should remain active.

It seems you're missing jquery. What does the setting "Skip JQuery" say in your admincp > steam mini profile settings?

works now, thanks

I get Invalid profile data. any one know why?

Is your cache directory writeable? (clientscript/steamprofile/cache)

Hi Disasterpiece
yeah I chmod it to 777 but still getting the same problem
http://forum.builtforsin.org/showthr...-Through-STEAM!

Do you have access to a database administration tool like phpmyadmin?
If so, take a look in the steam_link field in the vb_users table and send me a few values per PM from users where the mini profile is not working.

What code do I use to manually add the code so I can move the mini-profile to a different template or position?

Small bug report:
When viewing a private message, at the message of someone else that I'm viewing, it shows the steam information of my own, not of the person that messaged me.

Depends where you want the miniprofile to appear. postbit template makes the most sense, since it can basically positioned anywhere inside the postbit area.

Noted, thanks for your feedback :)

Well, the mini-profile shows it within the legacy template. But the problem is that the thread icon is in the way (in my opinion) and it fills up some space. Perhaps I wanted to add it in the user profile information at the left within posts rather than above the title of the thread.

But when I remove the icons from the template's code, it also removes the small black line as well which is shown just below the thread's and replies icon which I don't want. Hence I'd like the steam mini-profile's template code so I can add it on different places.


EDIT:
Can users make their own steam-mini profile private so it won't display within threads?

Also, I think the mini-profile should be hidden if it displays this text:

For some reason all we are getting is grey boxes were the steam profile should be... Any idea on what might be causing this?

Same here I think Steam changed something... Disasterpiece could you please update the code for this?

Right at it, give me a few days please...

Anyone still having trouble with this? For some reason, all my boxes seem to work again in my forums, so this might have been a short steam-related issue.

What is the raw code so I can replace the mini-steam profile on a different place within the postbit?

Yes i'm still having this problem... Here is a link to my forums if you would like to view.

Also note that for testing purposes its currently only installed on "Darkness"

Yes am still having issues with this working...

Could you send me a link to your forum?
Works in my forum without changing a line of code.

this is still a problem on my site also....

According to your sourcecode, you linked jquery 2 times. Try to enable the option "skip jquery inclusion" in the admincp > settings > Steam Mini Profiles

I've already enabled that option.

For good measure I disabled it check and re-enabled.

Then I suppose, you have the js inclusions from an older installation of steam miniprofile left, I can see the steamprofile.*.js being included twice and jquery being included three times.

You should fix your headinclude organization first.

Tried this, and although it works, I wasn't happy with the results since it also shows the block for users who haven't linked their Steam account. But there's a much easier method.

Go into the "add steam profile" plugin hook, and for the PHP code simply change:

To this:

Notice the extra DIV tags in the replacement code. This places the block directly under the Join Date/Location/Post Count part of the Userinfo section in the postbit. Your mileage may vary if using postbit_legacy as I don't use that.

Oh yeah, and awesome mod. Thanks!

Ah cool, looks nice btw :)

Love these mods, great work!!!

I have a small issue the mini profile. It displays "BCMath extension required" in the mini display

http://reactgaming.net.au/showthread...allenge-react-next

i think this will be something simple though i have scoured these mod pages to no avail.

Cheers in advance

Well, BCMath is a math php extension, you can find it here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.bc.php

Installing it should solve the problem. However, I don't recall any functions the vbulletin mod is using, maybe the code from barracuda's original steam mini profiles tool requires this somehow. Do you have an older php version than 5.2?

Not sure on the php version, contacted host and they enabled BCMATH extensions. Used a repository in LINUX? Apparently I was very lucky :/

Love the mod :)

"No profile ID assigned"

Anyway to hide if members get this?

Plus, how do you hide the SteamID profile from even being shown to members that don't want to show it to the public?

if you are referring to the box being empty when you do a quick reply it has to do with vB and not steam or the mod. Quick reply amends the page for you without refreshing it for you but it is added to the db and anyone who opens the thread will see it as it as it should be just not you because it amended the page on your side but did not call back and refresh the page. If you navigate away from the page and then go back to it you will see the info in the box. or refresh the page, but you don't need to for any reason as everyone else will see it correctly.

Hey DP. I'm getting the "Invalid profile data." on my test site on another server. It works great on the other site but I can't figure out why it's not working on this site. I had to check no for Skip JQuery Inclusion on this site and the other site is set the same.

Oh, hey, if you would like a vB 4.1.7 suit to test and work with I will hook you up with my test site to use for working on your mods.

Do you have a link to that particular site where the problem appears? Maybe there is something wrong with the included files.

sure, send me a pm. Always happy to see a helping hand :)

What would I need to do/change to get this to work in the Member's Profile. I specifically want it to show above the tabs (visitor messages, about me..etc). I placed the code manually where I want it in "MEMBERINFO" but gives me "No Profile ID assigned".

This is code by Steam Connect used to show in postbit...

when I change the hook to member_start (as well as others) it gives me an error..

I'm assuming it's because the steam connect postbit code is pulling different variables than what's needed for the members profile? Any idea what I need to change on steam connect?
