Steam Identity Service

Dion Sune Jensen · Aug 2, 2011

I've added this to a site primarily full of casual gamers, is there any way to have it display their readable steam id?

Binari0 · Aug 3, 2011

here are a mod for phpbb may be able to get ideas. I had in my old forum and it worked great.

<xen:hook name="message_user_identities" params="{xen:array 'user={$user}'}">
    <xen:foreach loop="{$user.identities}" key="$service1" value="$account1">
    <xen:if is="{$service1} == 'Steam'">
        <div class="steamprofile" title="{$account1}"></div>
    </xen:if>
    </xen:foreach>
    <xen:if is="!in_array('Steam', {$user.identities})">

works to perfection are just a few tweaks and appears in several places and in discussions, etc..

Because it would appear in the threads.

finished work:

Binari0 · Aug 4, 2011

great, it changes you made?

Podrias poner que cambios realizaste para que quede así?. Saludos!

TerminalAddict · Aug 5, 2011

to all those who have messaged me about my edits not working.
I completely forget.
You have to use the steamprofile packages, I placed it in a subdirectory steamprofile/
then included the /steamprofile/steamprofile.js in my header.

the cache dir needs to be writable (chmod 777 or chown www-data:www-data or whatever)

attached is the contents of the directory.

it uses xmlproxy.php to get around remote site scripting etc.
I'm not sure what the requirements for steamprofile are
but here is the original work: http://code.google.com/p/steamprofile/

Hope this helps everyone, now if only I could get openid (logging in via steam working

)

Hi can you explain what these Japanese characters do?

PHP:

// gotta love the dirty weeaboo hax :3
if($communityId !== false)

   $value =  'STEAMスタートSTEAM'.$communityId.'STEAMミヅゥSTEAM'.$value.'STEAMエンドSTEAM';

A nice unique string to replace in order to workaround html escaping. There's likely better methods now, but at the time pretty sure there wasn't much alternative.

bottiger · Aug 16, 2011

Can you tell me the alternatives? I am not familiar with these techniques.

Why can I not put HTML there normally?

member_view uses {xen:string censor, $identity.value} which escapes the html tags

Alternatives include editing the template (security concerns) or fiddling with one of the template hooks

I see what you mean now. You replace those strings inside EventListener/TemplatePostRender.php
Can anyone point me to the right direction for doing it with template hooks?

I've also made some modifications to this plugin.

Changes

Saves Steam community ID instead of STEAMID.
Removed ability to add by STEAMID. 90% of players don't know how to find their STEAMID, and most of the web APIs use community IDs.
Fixed the regular expressions.
Parses profiles properly with XML instead of using substr.
Checks that the ID exists on steamcommunity.com
Verifies that you own the account by having you paste a string in your profile.

Here are some things I wanted to do, but didn't know how.

Verify account ownership with OpenID. Pasting a string in your profile is not the best solution, but it is better than nothing.
Verify ID is unique in the forum.
Terminal Addict's mod without editing the core.
Have the ID show near the top of the profile (instead of in a tab).

Update

Here is a version that uses OpenID instead of verifying with a unique string.

Your plugin is for phpBB. I never used phpBB before, and I don't understand the code there.

Be freakin awesome if this was ported over. Post bit is nice, but there are many more options here.

Binari0 · Aug 17, 2011

Yes is a big, addon... complicated

Very good one

Remember this post mate?

Will this be updated to work with the new custom user fields?

Paul B · Oct 4, 2011

This add-on effectively just became obselete.

Anyone can easily add a custom profile field directly in the ACP for this now.

I imagine Darkimmortal will rewrite it to create a new custom profile field so that it still integrates with the Log in with Steam add-on.

Luke F · Oct 4, 2011

I'm not sure how the custom profile fields will work, but this plugin will likely still be needed for validation and display (as a link). Will probably need some changes to both this and the plugins that depend on it.

I plan on updating this asap if necessary, as both my sites rely on it.
