I've gone ahead and updated the older ESAM to work with the new API. Nothing else has been changed. Accept my apologies for the delay on this. Enjoy!

Current production version is v1.5.0b - perfect for maintaining your SMF forum!



ESAM is a simple way for EVE WebMasters to manage their Simple Machines Forums registration.

Once ESAM is installed, all members on a forum will be asked to provide their Limited API Key. This API will be checked to see what characters are on the account and ensure that one of them is in the corporation or alliance that the forums represent. Then, using WebMaster set rules within the module settings, ESAM will add the user to whatever MemberGroups are appropriate based on his/her alliance, corporation, and corp roles.

This fully automates the process of registering individuals to the forums and ensuring that they have all the correct access rights.

This tool will be helpful to WebMasters running forums with a couple of dozen members, and absolutely invaluable to those WebMasters running forums with hundreds, or thousands of members.

====

This version is BETA and does not include checks to make sure the API provided gives access to the CharacterSheet information. Testing will just show the API as having an error and will yell at the user :)

Thanks Squizz.

I know you've moved on from active development of this, but if you find the time can you allow the admin to specify a required access mask and check it against /account/APIKeyInfo.xml.aspx and fail if incorrect.

If the API the user provides doesn't give access, then it will just fail as before. No harm done and the user has to provide the correct access.
