but i just wondring

what i can do after login !!

Not sure what you are looking to do but to get the group id of the current user (or any user) you can do:

$user = $sdk->getUser(); // or set an id getUser(12)
echo $user['user_group_id'];

Nice one

May i suggest to add following code to your constructor before you start the session:

$dependencies = new XenForo_Dependencies_Public();
  $dependencies->preLoadData();

Without this code, the event system won't be initialized

Thank You, i'll get that added to the method.

Some improvement suggestions:
verifyUsername /verifyEmail => copying the the DW code isn't the best solution, what if an addon changed the method? your sdk won't implement this changes,....
it would be much better if you would use the DW to verify the data


getUser()=> instead of returning the empty array, you could return the array from xenforo_model_user::getVisitingGuestUser (just to have 100% the same data like in XF)

I had a similar helper class in the past, that's why i'm familiar with such problems

Is this available on github?

Some of the verify methods were throwing errors when i was trying to do that, suggestions/contributions are welcome. this is a WIP and first release will take some time to get it to a stable more robust version.

Sorry for my question...
where [do i have to place] [can i use] the XenForoSDK.php?

 

[James]

You place it in the root of your forum.

 

[jesfro]

Ah, ok.

Thank you!

 

[LPH]

This is fantastic work. Congratulations.

 

[xf_phantom]

you can place it whereever you want(e.g. in your applications directory) if you define XF_ROOT in your script

I would like to render a single thread (by threadId) in a widget (widget framwork). It should work as a normal thread with all ist comments.

I'm probably completely overlooking something obvious here, so sorry for asking a potentially dumb question.

I can get data for a user by ID using

$user = $sdk->getUser(54857);

Is it possible for me to get data using their username, using something such as

$user = $sdk->getUser("JackBiggin");

(I tried this and it didn't work, but suspect I'm simply using the wrong syntax).

No, the code only works based on ID. You could modify it if you wanted.

Really nice resource thanks.

But does anyone know how you can use the getThreads method to display the threads you want in the order that you want?

On my website you'll see an Forum Box pulling latest threads, but its pulling the very first threads from 2007 as opposed to the very latest;

This is what I'm currently using;

                <div id="frm-content" class="widget">
                    <div class="title">From The Forum</div>
                    <ul class="forum">
                        <?php
                            $threads = $xenforo->getThreads(array(), array('limit' => 10));
                           
                            function date_sort($a, $b) {
                                return  $b['last_post_date'] - $a['last_post_date'];
                            }
                           
                            usort($threads, 'date_sort');
                           
                            foreach($threads as $thread) {
                                echo('<li><a href="' . $CONF['site'] . '/forum/threads/' . urls($thread['title']) . '.'. $thread['thread_id'] .'">' . $thread['title'] . '</a></li>');
                            }
                        ?>
                    </ul>
                </div>

Anyone got the login methods working on 1.3?
Specifically the login method (with or without validation) doesn't seems to be working for me. It returns the correct user id/true, but when I go to the forums I am not logged in :/

 

[David Herrgat]

I'm having problems with : $output = $sdk->renderPublicTemplate('header', array $params); ... does not output anything

 

[WearableTechForums.com]

Is this still up to date for 1.4?
