[WIDGET] Steam Group Stats · **Released**: 04-18-2010

For those who have a steam group, you can easily display your steamgroup stats on your frontpage. I included 2 versions a cached version (which I recommend to use but takes a tiny bit more effort to run) and a non-cached version which runs out of the box (might slow down your site a bit more).

Instructions Cached Version:
1.Navigate to AdminCP -> CMS -> Widgets.
2. Create a PHP Type Widget and paste the code from below:

cached version:

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<style type="text/css">

span.membersInGame {

    font-size: 11px;

    color: #8bc53f;

    font-family:arial, Helvetica, tahoma, sans-serif;

    text-decoration:none;

}

span.membersOnline {

    font-size: 11px;

    color: #62a7e3;

    font-family:arial, Helvetica, tahoma, sans-serif;

    text-decoration:none;

}

</style>

</html>

<?php 

$group = freefragnet;

$cachefile = 'cache/grpcache.html';

$cachetime = 5 * 60; // 5 minutes

if (file_exists($cachefile) && (time() - $cachetime < filemtime($cachefile))) {

include($cachefile);

echo "<!-- Cached ".date('jS F Y H:i', filemtime($cachefile))." -->";



} else {

ob_start();

    $url = file_get_contents('http://steamcommunity.com/groups/'.$group); 

    ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 0); 

    preg_match('#<h1>(.+)</h1>#sU', $url, $aMatches); 

    echo "<div class=blockrow>";

    echo "<table>";

    echo "<a class='clanname' href='http://steamcommunity.com/groups/$group' target='_blank'>$aMatches[1]</a>"; 

    echo "<br>";



    preg_match('#<div class="groupMemberRow">(.+)</div>#sU', $url, $aMatches); 

    $aMatches = str_replace('class="linkStandard"', 'class="linkStandard" target="_blank"', $aMatches[1]);

    $pieces = explode(" ", $aMatches);

$domain = strstr($pieces[3], '>');

$strip1 = substr($domain, 1); 

    echo "<span class=resultsb>$strip1 Members</span>";

    echo "<br>";

$domain1 = strstr($pieces[6], '>');

$strip2 = substr($domain1, 1);

    echo "<span class=membersInGame><font color=#8bc53f>$strip2 In-Game</font></span>"; 

    echo "<br>";

$domain2 = strstr($pieces[9], '>');

$strip3 = substr($domain2, 1); 

    echo "<span class=membersOnline><font color=#62a7e3>$strip3 Online</font></span>";

echo "</table>";

echo "</div>";

$fp = fopen($cachefile, 'w');

fwrite($fp, ob_get_contents());

fclose($fp);

ob_end_flush();

ob_end_clean();

}

?>

3. Edit $group = freefragnet; to your group. This is in the url base for your steam group Example: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/freefragnet

4. In your ftp, in the same base folder vbulletin is hosted, create a folder named 'cache' and CHMOD to 777.
5. Your set

Demo: http://www.freefrag.com/

Instructions Non-Cached Version:
1.Navigate to AdminCP -> CMS -> Widgets.
2. Create a PHP Type Widget and paste the code from below:

non-cache

PHP Code:

<style type="text/css">

    color: #8bc53f;

    font-family:arial, Helvetica, tahoma, sans-serif;

}

span.membersOnline {

    font-size: 11px;

    color: #62a7e3;

    font-family:arial, Helvetica, tahoma, sans-serif;

    text-decoration:none;

}

</style>

</html>

    ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 0);

    echo "<div class=blockrow>";

    echo "<table>";

    echo "<a class='clanname' href='http://steamcommunity.com/groups/$group' target='_blank'>$aMatches[1]</a>"; 

    echo "<br>";



    preg_match('#<div class="groupMemberRow">(.+)</div>#sU', $url, $aMatches); 

    $aMatches = str_replace('class="linkStandard"', 'class="linkStandard" target="_blank"', $aMatches[1]);

$domain1 = strstr($pieces[6], '>');

$strip2 = substr($domain1, 1);

I've updated my custom-code and simplyfied it. Working with 2012/Greenlight update.
https://tracker.madmakz.com/redmine/...Status/sgs.php

to have it working on vBulletin sidebar, change

PHP Code:


			
echo stgrp_status($gruppe);

to

PHP Code:


			
return stgrp_status($gruppe);

I am trying to use your code as a widget on front page and all I keep getting is
"Steamcommunity appears to be down."

Any ideas?

MadMakz · #45 09-26-2012, 09:47 AM

Either you've tested when steam had its massive maintenaince downtime yesterday or file_get_contents() might not be allowed on your server (allow_fopen_url must be enabled).

if you have php-curl installed you could workaround this by adding the following function

PHP Code:


			
function file_get_contents_curl($url, $agent = "My Agent"){
    $ch = curl_init();
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
     
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
     
    return $data;
}

and replace

PHP Code:


			
file_get_contents('http://steamcommunity.com/groups/'.$group)

with

PHP Code:


			
file_get_contents_curl('http://steamcommunity.com/groups/'.$group)

.
i have not tested this but it should work.

other problem could be that your host can't resolve the steamcommunity domain properly.

addition: simply changeing file_get_contents won't do it so here's a cURL version of the whole script:
https://tracker.madmakz.com/redmine/...s/sgs_curl.php

fookaa · #47 09-26-2012, 02:05 PM

I never did the edit you said "echo to return" and mine works

Did you enter your steam group name in the file ?

Since this is reusable code, might you want to make a separate mod for tracking and discussion purposes?

Maybe [WIDGET] Steam Group Stats cURL

Also is this what you use on your site?

Ok new code works now!

Now I was wondering how can we dress this up a little bit like with a banner above the out put and maybe some RSS info below like some of the latest Announcements?

I just need an example of the image code because every time I try to add something it is at the top of the page...

Thanks!

What would be awesome to see, or atleast what i see in my dreams is if someone could create a widget that displays the usernames of a specified steam group that are In-Game, and then of those players what game they are in.

Some php coders that want to be loved forever should check out github and the new steam web api.

I actually just did this using the steam webapi, group information doesn't need an API key and is all xml based. I'm just not sure how to put it into a vBulletin php widget. Doing it in a html iframe calling the php works, but not really the route that I would think is best.

I'm sure using the xml page is faster than loading the real page like all these previous ones are.
