EVE API Integration ( Wordpress / Jabber )

Disclaimer:
- I am not a programmer myself and never will be
- There is nothing like what I am looking for that isn't broken and no longer being supported
- I am happy to pay but am not rolling in piles of ISK / PLEX / sleeper loot

I'm looking for someone who help with integrating the EVE API into our web services (Wordpress and Jabber).

We are hoping to get a single registration page which will ask for a full API key, email address and a new password.

The server will then:
- Check to see if they have a character in our alliance (or a manually white listed corporation/alliance)
- Create a user account for them on our WordPress website (which uses BuddyPress for forums)
- Create a user account for them on our Jabber (we use OpenFire server / Spark client)
- Upon submission, redirect user to a page with their login details (including password)
- Upon submission, also send these details to their email (not including password)
- Alert site admin if an API key is removed (not suspending access or warning the user)

If possible, a secure place where an admin could view the registered APIs would be nice. The ability to add APIs keys for multiple accounts (even ones that are not in the alliance) and group them to one person would also be awesome.

Any offers? I'd be happy to make this available to the EVE community if possible (Wordpress plugin?)

I cannot believe that something like this doesn't already exist considering the size of our community / the popularity of Wordpress / the countless amount of times Wordpress plugin support has been begged for and ignored. Done properly, the developer could make a lot of ISK selling this as a plugin.

Please eve-mail / convo Bakla Firoz in game or simply reply to this post.

I'm currently building something like this but its still in the early phases. Also its not a plugin for wordpress but built from ground up. Either case isn't helpful to you in the immediate future. I'm fairly new to the developer scene and rather inexperienced so its slow going. Development takes stupid amounts of time and I'm by myself which makes it worse P

If you find something would love to steal see the code for it Lol

Try posting this in the "EVE Marketplace" under "Want ads & trade" or looking through "Sell Orders" for little brackets like this [Service] Website Hosting bla bla bla

As I slipped my finger slowly inside her hole, I could immediately feel it getting wetter and wetter.

I took my finger back out and within seconds she was going down on me.

"I really need a new boat," I thought to myself.

You're not gonna find anyone willing to put in the insane amounts of time required for 'Done properly, the developer could make a lot of ISK selling this as a plugin.'
You can either pay an insane amount of ISK for that insane amount of time, or wait for one of the currently pending projects to become available. I'm writing one that does most of what you ask, and will release the source once the time comes, but I will NOT be writing support for wordpress. You should have no issue integrating the two though.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the replies. It was just bothering me that when Googling it there were countless posts asking for WordPress / EVE API support and not one reply.

From the very little programming knowledge I have, I can see how long this would take. I was just kind of hoping that I was missing the point and good programmers could do this kind of things in their sleep. Either that or there might be someone out there who had already developed it and just kept it to themselves.

Oh well. Good luck for anyone consider / currently working on WordPress support. I believe the community would greatly benefit from it so I fully support and look forward to future development.
