Add-On Releases - 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:

div.steamprofile{
float:right;
display:block;
z-index:300;
}

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:

<vb:if condition="$post['steamid']"><div class="steamprofile" title="{vb:raw post.steamid}"></div></vb:if>

Mainly wondering about the first where their "Steam Connect Settings" is set to NO.

the first one shouldn't actually display. So I'm not sure what's going on there. You use steam mini profiles with steam connect, yes?

Also: Make sure the cache directory inside the steam mini profiles dir under clientscript is writable (chmod 777) including all files which are already inside.

Correct, this is being used in conjunction with Steam Connect - Sign in with your Steam Account! [RC2]. Great mod, btw!

I did check and both that directory, it's subdirectory, and files within are chmod to 777.

When I turn the plugin "add steam profile" back on, it only shows the appropriate ones so it leads me to believe maybe I set it wrong in the postbit (legacy). This is how I set it:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right}
<div class="steamprofile" title="{vb:raw post.steamid}"></div>
<div class="imlinks">
{vb:raw post.icqicon} {vb:raw post.aimicon} {vb:raw post.msnicon} {vb:raw post.yahooicon} {vb:raw post.skypeicon}
</div>

Do I need to make a plugin for it since I turned off the other one (guessing no but unsure what else I might be doing wrong)? I also sent you a URL to the community in a PM so you can see it live (if that helps).

[Disasterpiece]

Yeah, this is the wrong one. you need to tell the template that it should only display the html tags if the steam id is not empty. You can do this like this:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right}
{vb:if condition="!empty($post['steamid'])"}
<div class="steamprofile" title="{vb:raw post.steamid}"></div>
{/vb:if}
<div class="imlinks">
{vb:raw post.icqicon} {vb:raw post.aimicon} {vb:raw post.msnicon} {vb:raw post.yahooicon} {vb:raw post.skypeicon}
</div>

Not tested, but should work.

</div>

Not tested, but should work.

When I try that, it gives me the following error:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
Could not find phrase 'no_true_expression_specified'.
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

And if I force it to accept, it gives me this on the page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/stoic/stoicstudio.com/forum/includes/class_core.php(4627) : eval()'d code on line 158

And while writing this up, I figured out the problem. I just needed to change:

{vb:if condition="!empty($post['steamid'])"}
<div class="steamprofile" title="{vb:raw post.steamid}"></div>
{/vb:if}

To:

<vb:if condition="!empty($post['steamid'])">
<div class="steamprofile" title="{vb:raw post.steamid}"></div>
</vb:if>

Basically just had to wrap it in <>, not {}. Works great now! Thanks for your help!

Your steamprofile cache is empty, are you sure this one is writable as well?
http://opticalgaming.net/clientscrip...profile/cache/

It should at least contain a few cache files otherwise this might be the issue.

//e: Other thing wich comes to my mind: Do you have cUrl installed on your machine? Lookup the phpinfo in the vb admincp and check if curl is installed and working.

[jimmy026]

Yes it is Read/write/execute on all 3.

I think I have cUrl since my plugins work fine it is just this one. Can not find cURL anywhere in database though

I checked my database and when go to DB do not have admincp in there. It is in my website folder but not in my VB folder.

[Disasterpiece]

cUrl is not to be found in any database, you need to check the phpinfo. This one: http://opticalgaming.net/admincp/index.php?do=phpinfo

Then you look for an entry that says:

cURL support enabled
cURL Information 7.21.0 or something like this.
