[3.1][3.2][RC] Steam Group Suite

Post by 3Di »

The development of this extension is completed and I will not add any other features of any kind. I don't have any more time to dedicate to this one but only to submit it for validation, which means that it is not abandoned anyway. So I close the topic in order to avoid that other requests are added. Thank you all.

Steam Group Suite Extension for phpBB - © 2017, 2018 - 3Di and javiexin
Special thanks go to javiexin as my mentor and good friend, you simply rock'd. ;)

Screenshots and details: See second post.

Features:
  • Adds a Steam Group viewport highly customizable to the index/viewforum page(s)
  • Permissions and settings so users can choose their own preferences
  • Steam Badges
  • Default Steam avatar for phpBB users who belong to the Steam Group
  • Featuring "Pseudo cron-task"
  • Featuring custom localised "Collapsible on localStorage"
  • Featuring "generic extensible solution for Gravatars not being overridable (3.1/3.2)" (core bug)
  • Pretty responsible
  • Version checker and more..
Requirements:
  • Steam Web API key
  • Your Steam Group ID
    • Without the above two requirements the extension (and if the following check-points are true) will be installed in a dormant status. To fully activate it you have to input the data in ACP.
  • phpBB >= 3.1.11 or >= 3.2.1
  • cUrl
  • iconv
  • simplexml_load_string
    • This requirements will be checked on install and during the whole life of your board at every refresh, if only one of this requirements will fail the extension will automatically go in a dormant status, it will wake up again once the issue(s) will be fixed and after a new refresh (which is scheduled in ACP). No need to act, basicly. The dormant/awake statuses are logged in ACP/maintenance if occurs. If the extension goes dormant the last succesfull data still will be used, avoiding a total break.
  • Browser with javascript enabled as the option, to get a nice and complete experience
  • IE support: 11+
Technologies in use here: Styles compatibility:
  • prosilver and those who inherit from it
  • Limited support for other styles
  • No support is given here for paid styles
Github issues/feature requests (this version is already RC): Languages supported:
  • English (Default)
  • We will not be accepting translations in Github. You might post a link to a downloadable archive in this topic.

Added a bunch of screenshots and details.
Actually are not covering all of the features though due to privacy.
If someone is willing to provide me via PM its own Group ID
I will be more than glad to complete the serie.


ACP/permissions (highly customisable on a per User/Group basis): ACP Options: UCP Options:
  • Steam login - User has Steam Group Suite perm set but not already validated by Steam itself. https://prntscr.com/gdroia
  • Logged with Steam https://prntscr.com/ge6r4r
  • Steam user id not valid because doesn't belong to the group https://prntscr.com/ge6sp8
  • Privacy has been taken into consideration accordingly to the Steam's visible personality rules, exactly the same. That's another available user's choice.
  • Users with Steam Group Suite perms set can only use a Steam account if it belongs to the Steam Group chosen in ACP.
Index/viewforum:
  • Extension enabled, viewport is collapsed as default https://prntscr.com/gdrpyz (ACP options) therefore is not yet un/collapsible.
  • Each user may have a personalized viewport of choice (or reset to ACP defaults) wich remains persistent till a new preset has been selected and saved.
  • Applies on a browser/device basis, nothing is stored int the DB.
Viewtopic:
  • Steam miniprofile next to posts, customisable in ACP: None. On-click or Fixed and related style colors.
Badges:
  • Automatically the related User's Steam Badge will be present in memberlist profile, based on admin/user's choice (visibility).
ACP/maintenance Logs:

Hey, I see you are using it, enjoy.
And no, this version is already RC (means no new features will be added).

Maybe in a future or maybe not. I don't think we would want to get involved into something that could take a lot of time between coding and testing and what not. Has been not in our thoughts during this 4 months of development and now I am personally involved in other custom projects. let me enjoy my freedom, lol. :lol:

Ofcourse javiexin could say something about that too, once he will get back in action. ;)

Have fun, and pls report if any "glitches" have been found.

Thanks for the reply I believe I have found a bug.

Code: Select all

Out of range value for column 'gameid' at row 1 [1264]
Also been getting this
Refresh time overdue. For some reason, the Steam information refresh has not been successful. Please, review the Core Steam configuration.
Get that error and when I refresh page goes back to normal.

The DB is set to
'gameid' => array('UINT', '0'),
which translated means
UINT mediumint(8) UNSIGNED 0 to 16,777,215
So I highly doubt a game_id could be bigger than that.
It could be it tried to insert a negative number, you cannot insert a negative number into a unsigned int field.. also this seems to me very strange for a game_id which are always not negatives.
Other than that, without me having your group ID to conduct some test I can't say more.

That's not a bug but a feature, if the refresh fails the last succesful data stored are still in use to avoid a total break and you are noticed of what happened, so you can manually refresh or let the pseudo-cron do its job.

That could have been a problem of communication failed (also the Steam servers are not 24/24 working fine, that's known) and should be logged in ACP/maintenance. Have a look at the phpBB logs in ACP. :)

Note: the refresh should be set to min 30 minutes, also if it works on the minimum of 1 isn't a good choice. Btw.

I have been able to reproduce this error using your group, it could have been easier to read the whole error report but hey, here we go. A member of your group was playing a "particular game" whit a funny Game_ID so to speak. Instead of 6 digits such game uses 10, an exception I can say.
That can be fixed with this query in phpMyadmin or similar tools and let a re-fetch all (refresh) go on.
ALTER TABLE `phpbb_steam_suite` CHANGE `gameid` `gameid` INT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';
20 is more than needed - to prevent future issues with other not standard games.
Change the phpbb_ Db prefix accordingly to yours if necessary.

I am not bound to release a new package due to this "glitch" since I could have something more to enhance.

Edit: see below.
