[bd] API 1.6.3

[xfrocks]

Any hope that the current version works with XF 2? Or should I wait?

The current version does not work with XenForo 2. You can't even install it. We are working hard for an upgrade, so stay tuned.

Also, I'm using the original api.php file in connection with authentication for a password-protected access to downloading files from our premium area, which requires a member upgrade. Does this version straight-on replace that one, or must I have someone recode the file we use to interact with api.php?

If only I was a PHP developer.

There is no "original api.php" file in XenForo so it's most likely you were using a different add-on. You will need to reimplement authentication if you switch to this one (and its XenForo 2 version).

I'd need help to reimplement. It appears to work with just one version of the api.php that I've tried out of three. If I posted the script that calls it, would that help?

Yes, that would help.

@xfrocks is it possible to get any indication at all about this? just to know if we're talking weeks or months
We're at a crossroad with the development of a very big project and we have a decision to make depending on this.

Our internal tracking is looking towards a beta release in about 2 weeks FYI. Hope that works for you?

Thanks for the update. I’m holding off upgrading two of our forums until your new version is out.

And thanks, too, for your help with our api script.

@xfrocks any chance at getting the ability to have an 'admin' token soon?

I think I mentioned it before, but I'd like to have a singular token that was for an admin that was 'unlimted' so that I can use that to combine actions between my XF install and another site

One way we are doing "admin" token in our sites is to create a new token with long expire time, e.g. a year. You can create that in AdminCP. It's recommended to rotate your keys often though so 365-day token is quite decent.

I've just managed to get this working with RocketChat!
It does take some manual editing of code on RocketChat though (I will try and submit it to them for a future patch, if I can figure out how github works!)

Firstly, these are the settings you need (obviously change the URL to match your forum location):

In Rocket.Chat, you then need to edit the following file:
/opt/Rocket.Chat/programs/server/packages/rocketchat_custom-oauth.js
(adjust if you've installed it elsewhere)

Go down to about line 254 and add the following in between the other if statements:

// Fix for Xenforo [BD]API
if (identity.user && identity.user.user_id && !identity.id) {
    identity.id = identity.user.user_id;
    identity.email = identity.user.user_email;
}

So it should look something like:

if (identity.CharacterID && !identity.id) {
        identity.id = identity.CharacterID;
}// Fix Dataporten having 'user.userid' instead of 'id'

// Fix for Xenforo [BD]API
if (identity.user && identity.user.user_id && !identity.id) {
        identity.id = identity.user.user_id;
        identity.email = identity.user.user_email;
}

if (identity.user && identity.user.userid && !identity.id) {
        identity.id = identity.user.userid;
        identity.email = identity.user.email;
} // Fix general 'phid' instead of 'id' from phabricator

Then restart the Rocket.Chat service so it picks up the new file and that should do it!

Glad to report that this update was included in the 0.60 update of Rocket.Chat. I've tested it along with your updates shown here on my server and it is working with no issues. Looking forward to the release of the API for XenForo 2.0. Thanks!

We use Xenforo SDK to integrate our membership plugin with Xenforo.It works fine with Xenforo v1.x. So when a user is added to our membership database in wordpress, we are able to automatically add the users to xenforo using APIs.But after upgrade to xenforo v2.x, this integration no longer works. And there seems to be no documentation on this so we are really struggling to find a way to integrate our membership plugin with xenforo v2.x.

The XenForo 2 version of this add-on hasn't been released yet. The current version does not work with XenForo 2, it should show up as Disabled on AdminCP.

Thanks for the reply
But can you please tell if there is any estimate of when it would be released or if there are other options.

Not all requests are supported in the alpha. They will all come though.

 

[StarOne]

do you have any solution for this type of error with your alfa api? (2.0.1)

I had the same error as @StarOne
