SteamCommunity integration (like FaceBook)

I would like this as my community is PC gaming focused, and almost everyone has a steam account.

http://steamcommunity.com/dev :
Steam can act as an OpenID provider. This allows your application to authenticate a user's SteamID without requiring them to enter their Steam username or password on your site (which would be a violation of the API Terms of Use.) Just download an OpenID library for your language and platform of choice and use http://steamcommunity.com/openid as the provider. The returned Claimed ID will contain the user's 64-bit SteamID. The Claimed ID format is: http://steamcommunity.com/openid/id/<steamid>

This would require OpenID. I have found a script that does it, but I haven't looked trough it yet, so not sure if it would work on XF. Zend haves something on OpenID though.

How to add openid to XenForo? :D
 
yep .. bunch of us have been asking for this for a while
... and you may interested that the administrator for steam community forums has been known to post here :)
 
oh btw,
I have steamid as a user field, and I have steam badge in my "post bit", but have never figured out openid (plus I disabled the twitter auth coz no one was using it)

I found how to use it :)

PHP: 
$steam_login_verify = SteamSignIn::validate();
if(!empty($steam_login_verify))
{
echo "success + $steam_login_verify";
}
else
{
$steam_sign_in_url = SteamSignIn::genUrl();
echo "<a href=\"$steam_sign_in_url\"><img src='http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/public/images/signinthroughsteam/sits_large_noborder.png' /></a>";
}

Now i need to find how to add this in XenForo, so it will work like FaceBook integration :)

Simple way:

Step 1: Find an OpenID library you like
Step 2: Create a Xenforo page where a user clicks the "login with Steam" button and perform the actual OAuth authentication
Step 3: Take the returned data, extract the 64bit SteamID, and write that to a new column in the User table

That is the easy part. You will then need to update the login and account creation system to handle Steam OAuth logins. And if you want to get really fancy, you write a class that leverages the Steam web apis and replace forum avatars with Steam community avatars, forum usernames with Steam personas, show ingame status, etc.

All work I'm planning to do but not until we upgrade our forums to vb4.

But if Mike and Kier wanted to do the hard work for me, thats just one more reason for us to switch :)
 
here are a mod for phpbb may be able to get ideas. I had in my old forum and it worked great.
