Hi Paul,

I've briefly tested this extension and it's working so far, I understand that your have been busy but I wonder if there's a roadmap or a list of tasks to do, maybe the community could help with the development, this is something I would like to use on one of my boards.

The most important part is testing (And then especially the develop branch, as that contains the most recent code). I will see if I can make an actual release from that branch today, but I need to check what the exact status is of that branch.

Okay, I have made a bunch of fixes an a few language related changes, and made a new release.

Download: https://github.com/paul999/phpbb_2fa/re ... tag/v0.0.3
Please note: You should not really use this on a live board, unless you know what you are doing ;).
Please let me know if it works for you, or if you are having issues. Without any of those I won't be able to improve it (And I won't submit it to the CDB unless I receive some feedback!).

For translations:
Please create a pull request on github containing the changes needed for your translation. I won't accept translations that aren't submitted as PR, or are incomplete.

Well, I may be crazy but I decided to take a risk and test this extension on a live board :twisted: With codes served by Google Authenticator and other authenticator apps it works perfectly fine, excerpt for that it keeps logging users out after some period of time, and it happens even to users who checked the 'remember me' field when logging on.

I haven't tested it with U2F yet.

I'm pretty sure that's a phpBB feature, session expires after some time if you do nothing, I've experienced that here when I leave an open tab.

First attempt with v.0.0.3 in test environment - phpBB3.2.5, xampp3.2.2 (PHP7.2.6, MySQLi 10.1.33-MariaDB)
After trying to turn on the 2FA extension:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in C:\xampp726\htdocs\phpBB3\phpbb\db\migrator.php on line 953
and the extension can't on.
Something with php settings?

You will need to increase the memory limit in php.ini.

The browser doesn't matter with php error ;). It tries to allocate over 128MB, so that means you will need to increase it.

Hello! I thought I'd give this a shot :)

I have a very similar - if not identical - error trying to enable on a shared hosting test server:

Code: Select all

[Mon Apr 22 22:45:58 2019] [warn] [client 23.16.30.83] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2097152 bytes) in [filepath]/phpbb/db/migrator.php on line 953, referer: https://[forumurl]/adm/index.php?i=acp_extensions&sid=3d0498930f814a3588e7578f91f70a97&mode=main&action=enable_pre&ext_name=paul999%2Ftfa
White screen in the browser, extension not enabled, though some database data is seemingly being created (I see the 'delete data' option appear in the Manage Extensions ACP screen after doing this).

I have never encountered this error and I am running (and testing) a LOT of extensions. Are you sure that there is nothing iffy going on at the extension level?

Could I ask what is the memory limit you would recommend for this extension (and why would it appear to need a lot)? Before I try fiddling with mine...

Thanks!

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in C:\xampp726\htdocs\phpBB3\phpbb\db\migrator.php on line 953
After increase limit to 512MB.

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in C:\xampp726\htdocs\phpBB3\phpbb\db\migrator.php on line 953

Thanks for the info. PHP 5.6.40 is very old.
Paul, is there any requirements for PHP version?

No, it has the same requirements as phpBB itself.

Just wanting to ask specifically - is it normal that the memory requirements for activating the extension are very high seeming? I've so far not encountered an extension I can't enable for lack of memory. But it could be the nature of this beast, of course :)
