AlexJ Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 When people will sign in with steam, an account will be created in local DB as facebook or twitter login? how it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 When people will sign in with steam, an account will be created in local DB as facebook or twitter login? how it works? An account will be created in the local db but will not have any connection to Facebook or twitter until a user links them in their usercp after signing up. It stores their steamid in their user row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusH Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I just installed this, but how can users add steam to their existing account ? I thought i would be in user CP under Manage FaceBook and Manage Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i would be in user CP under Manage FaceBook and Manage Twitter. Yes i only realized that after I submitted it to the marketplace, it will be in a new version i plan to release today.

Andy Rixon Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 This was one thing that was stopping me from using IP.Board for a new project myself and a friend of mine. Now I will be able to use this :D Thank you so much, you deserve a huge cookie :D Off note: For those that are interested we are making a Roleplay Gamemode for Garry's Mod, its not PERP, or anything of the likes, its custom made by myself and my friend.

Freeborne Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sweeeeet! Looks good, installed all okay. Just waiting on that update so existing members can use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozza Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lavoaster, Thanks so much for this! I would love to work with you on integrating a 'steam status' profile field I have with the database this app provides. Currently the caching methods i have are not updating frequently enough. Hit me up if you are interested :) MarcusH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Update completed, pushed out and ready for download :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeborne Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Works :smile: Would have preferred it called "Manage Steam Account" or something, so it's the same as "Manage Facebook" and "Manage Twitter". There also doesn't seem to be a way to unlink the account, but otherwise it's pretty great to finally see this come to IP.Board. I've waited about two years for this.

Yeah i put it as Link steam account but in reality that's only there until more options that could be put inside there, are. Q: Users that registered/login on my forums using steam login can still login using their email ID/pass even after I will remove steam login option? Yes you should be able to remove it without causing any problems to existing users, new users who signed up through steam will need to issue a password reset as their password fields will be blank Thanks, will be suitable for ipb 3.2.3? I cannot guarantee it, but i see no reason why it shouldn't work. If not I'll work with you to make it compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle F Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Erm, I have a question...I honestly don't think people are going to login using their Steam Login Details because of the previous amount of Steam Account phishing sites...it looks too suspicious in my opinion. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example lavoastar's steam profile is here: http://steamcommunit...xml=1&l=english This is why it has taken so long for us to get a solution to login because steam does not give enough information for even an IP.Board account. So i can say its pretty secure, your even logging into steam with a correctly encrypted page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorhawke Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks for making this mod. :) Just a few suggestions for any future versions planned, based on what I've tried of it so far: - Move the UCP button to just below the 'Manage Facebook' and 'Manage Twitter' buttons, instead of the very bottom of the list. - Change the label of the UCP button to 'Manage Steam' (it's more consistent, and would be a better label if more options are added in the future). - Keep the log in buttons more consistent with IPS, so, for example, use 'Use Steam' text instead of the Steam image button where IPS uses 'Use Facebook' or 'Use Twitter' text, etc. - Fix some of the typos, especially for the front-end (e.g. 'steam' -> 'Steam'; 'though' -> 'through'; 'Login' -> 'Log in'; 'a steam account, to link it' -> 'a Steam account. To link it', etc.). Lavo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
