Sign in through Steam - IPB3

[lekima]

I keep receiving this error

Do you have any idea? (I tried to cmod everything 0755 already but it didn't help)

After a lot of searching on this very issue, I got it to work. The issue is that my hosting provider's apache server has mod_security configured to block URLs in querystrings. All I did was ask them to whitelist my domains, and it stopped giving me the 403.

Great News, I'm really sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier. For what ever reason I wasn't followed to this post which I usually am.

Also for those of you who see this do you have any feature requests you would like to see included?

First of all I would like to thank you for making such an awesome plugin that indeed is very useful for my members. The Installation went smoothly.

My only problem is how can I add an image to my mobile steam login?

Looks very weird when you look at it in the mobile view. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Thats going to require on of the hook files to be edited.

I'll have a look into it soon.

Did you install the hook that came with it?

[3xAGaming]

Ok, maybe this is where i went wrong, the only file i found was the "loginauth_install.xml" file which is the admin folder..

[3xAGaming]

Damn, i must be blind! all sorted now! Great app btw.. i have to make a donation to your cause..

cheers

Did you enable the login method in the ACP?

I am getting the An extension required to process this request is missing. Please notify the administrator. again.

this is after a new user (who does NOT have a steam acct linked) validates then tried to sign in (NOT using the popup but the main page) even when NOT using steam

I will uninstall and reinstall again to make sure.

edit: I pos6ted this more as a reminder to myself to test it also as well as reporting in case you had any ideas right up front.

I haven't a clue why it would say an extension is missing. The login never returns a mission extension error code.

[Dmacleo]

I have not had a chance to reupload, so I have no idea why its happening.

disabling this method fixed the error but I need to find out why.

It was fine prior to 3.4.x updates though.

disabling mod_security (I can do that in seconds using CSF plugin) did not make any difference either but thats not a definitive test to rule out mod_securiity really, just a fast test.

I hope to have some time to test this further tomorrow though, just wanted to note it down so if I find the issue others may benefit.

Hi Lavoaster,

I've installed this today. When a user signs in, it just refresh' the steam login page and doesn't return to our site. Any ideas?

Hi Nathan,

Can you upload this file to admin/sources/loginauth/steam/lib and replace the one currently there, It should fix your problem.

steam_openid.php

Hello Lavoster,

Firstly awesome plugin, but I'm having a slight issue.

All my new members are being automatically sent to the Banned Member Group when Signing in through Steam.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

That did the Trick, thanks.

Uh... No I do not have any ideas. That would have to be something set in IPB Settings as this plugin doesn't manage who goes in to what group. It could be that the members joining were detected by the ips spam service and automatically marked as spammers.

[SyK3]

Yeah, I was assuming that. Can't really find anything that's affecting it though.

Is there any way to make the steam users go into a specific member group rather than the default?

[balazsp]

Big thanks for the plugin, it works as promised :)

Is there a way to check if a user (registered through steam) has a specific game?

I'd like to give them access to specific subforums based on the ownerships of games.

Thanks and have a nice day!

You probably want to wrap that save in a try/catch and check to see if the person's user name already exists in the database but other then that awesome, also what review thread?

try{
                        $this->photo->save($this->member_data, 'url', '', $avatar);
}catch(Exception $e){
                        //Something went wrong, ignore and continue.
}

Something is wrong with this. When trying to register with it, completing the registration gives a blank screen with the final details:

Twitter/Facebook work.

EDIT: I've figured out what causes it literally seconds later. If you disable members from choosing a display name, you will get stuck at this screen.
