Steam Connect



INFO


-- Steam Connect Addon for vBulletin 4.2.x;
Development Platform := vBulletin 4.1.3 - 4.2.0, Debian Linux, PHP5, MySQL5, apache2;

Dependencies := lib cUrl (PHP), openid (included);

Author := Andreas "Radon" Rudolph, Disasterpiece;

Contact := radon@purgatory-labs.de, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=198844

Homepage := http://purgatory-labs.de


WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE INSTALLING

This addon is Unsupported as of 2015 until further notice. I have not enough time or interest in vbulletin to keep this alive.

This addon provides a framework for future extensions which make use of the Steam API.
It helps to determine the SteamID of an user. Unless older methods of inserting the steam
id into a user field, the addon lets the user authenticate with Steam OpenID, therefore
you can trust 100%, that this particular user is the same user as the Steam-ID provided.

Users can link their Steam ID to their forum account or they can create a new account
using details pulled from their Steam Profile.
Like the Facebook connect plugin, it allows users to quickly set up a forum account without
having to define a password or an email address. This option can be disabled in the AdminCP,
however it is encouraged to allow users to use this quick-register feature, since they
already authenticated themselves through steam, so any additional password or email
authentication is just unnecessary.

If the user decides to un-link his forum account with his steam-profile, he has to set up
a password and email first, so the forum account remains usable after this.

At the moment, the addon is in its second RC state, which means that the current versions contain mostly bugfixes and are candidates for a full release.
Until now, the product worked without major problems in productive environments.
Although it is stable as is, the author doesn't provide any guarantee.
Due to the nature of the addon and how vBulletin manages 3rd party code inclusion, additional
login and register methods have been provided by the plugin. It is discouraged to use the
plugin on high profile communities in this early development state.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post in this thread.


F.A.Q. / General Issues / Error Messages

"There has been a problem with the OpenID libary: No OpenID Server found at http://steamcommunity.com/openid"
- Additionally, a 503 HTTP error is thrown. Simple solution: Wait. Steam Community servers are overloaded/down right now, there's nothing you can do about it

Do NOT uninstall the mod if you want to keep the linked users records. Upgrading means uploading the new product xml file for the new version and choose "overwrite" in the upload dialog.
The Installer will handle the update process by its own. Uninstalling the product will erase all the table fields which contain the steam link data.

Not by its own, but if you run a query it should work.
I'll figure this out and post again.

Has the mod been updated to properly handle Steam server downtime or API timeouts?

Not sure if this is just me, but as soon as I enable this plugin, i'm unable to view any threads, I just get a "Server encountered a problem whilst retrieving 'url'"...

I know someone made a post about this some time ago, but until now, i can't figure out how the steam connect plugin should be affected by a steam API timeout. Do you mean the steam mini profiles plugin being affected? Because the steam connect plugin does only contact steam when logging in and when viewing profile info, which both shouldn't happen too often to crash a server or cause major problems.

Sure, send it via PM and I'm happy to take a look at it!

Sure, that'd be a nice thing. I implemented steam connect to be easy to build other steam related plugins upon its code, so it should only need a change of a few lines code.

I'd be using this plugin to replace normal avatars with Steam avatars, show ingame status on the postbit, etc. So I need some fallback if the plugin can't connect to the Steam.

Makes sense. I'll add an avatar caching option in the next version.

Does it change anything if he links the account himself? Or does it only occur if you're changing it manually?
