Hi

Can´t register anyone, always get the message at the end :


couldn't connect to host

What i did wrong ?

No idea, but you are best off watching the videos to determine the cause.




You aren't providing enough information to determine what the problem is.
Are you using the latest version? Did you triplecheck in the AdminCP to check if the entities are set up correctly? Etc.

Hey,

Great tool, I managed to get everything running fairly quick. The only issue I seem to be having is with the evefit bbcode.

This is what I'm seeing: http://imgur.com/tvUw2rt

I tested it in Chrome Version 24.0.1312.52 m as well as the IGB and I get the same result. I'm also using the latest version of your mod which is 6.1.2 .

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Dex

Please check that if the user used eveapi_update.php to revalidate their API details, if they are stored in the UserCP -> Profile -> Account Settings. It could be that those values are not saved.

However, something weird is still happening on your forum. Depending on the settings, your user should automaticly be logged out when his/her account is being deactivated. Also, are you absolutely sure you are using version 6.1.2, as I recall I fixed some issues in both 6.1.1 and 6.1.2.


You'll love version 6.2.0 then. I'm currently uploading a new short (48 minutes lol!) installation video onto Youtube, describing the new (more) automated process and support for subsilver2 based themes out-of-the-box.

He did something funky that made the mod install twice.

You are best of uninstalling the mod, as well as any other mod that made edits to the original phpBB files.
After that you should reupload the original phpBB files (exception of config.php and the install-folder).
Clear cache in AdminCP.
Install v6.1.2 of the mod again, which should not give you any problems.

Since version 6.2.0 is nearing it's release, I might aswell show you the Youtube video describing the new installation process as well as the changes for version 6.2.0. Personally I'm very happy (and proud I might add) with this new version, as it's another big step forward being way ahead of the "competition".

Almost everything is handled by AutoMOD / Umil with very very little manual stuff during installation.
The video has replaced the original video, and should be the first video being played when watching the playlist.

Euh... just a Q, which competition? Most arn't updated or having no authors. Best atm is either phpBB with your mod or eveBB (or whatever it's called)?

If only some could build a phpBB Killboard which integrates it all and functioning on it's own in combination of your mod. Then I'm pretty sure that most problems would be solved...

All the new Eve stuff will be part of 6.2.0, as it features the Retribution 1.0.7 database dump.



Good point, mainly meant as sarcasm.
EveBB is doing a good job as staying a small stable package for a simple corporation/alliance without any big needs.
Temar's SMF mod is falling behind, as it's bugfix after bugfix without any good active development.
IPB and vBulletin I haven't seen any projects, but considering both are packages you have to pay for, I'd assume not a lot of people are using it.
phpBB is what's left, and in my humble opinion features the most.

As for the killboard solution; that would be reinventing the wheel. There are alot of project already for killboard solutions, but none of them are simple enough to implement into phpBB (or at least make use of phpBB's user management system).
Besides that there are some technical limitations for the killLog API, as only one source per hour receives the killLog back, meaning that if multiple killboards leech your killLog, only one killboard get's updated.



Can't really add that, as the errors are coming from unstable API servers. It's a random chance of the API servers working or not, so even if the script would check the API servers it won't guarantee a thing.

How about now?

Hereby I'm releasing version 6.2.0

• Hopefully fixed a small bug where groups were not updated correctly if no default group has been selected.
• Added ejabberd support to the main release, including a new (small) module for easy configuration.
• Updated EVE stuff with Retribution 1.0.7 release.
• Added initial configurable options in the Group-management screen. Even though the options don't do anything yet, the values are being stored for future implementation to give people the chance to already update to this new system.
• Added initial Jabber option in each of the entities. Even though the option don't do anything yet, the values are being stored for future implementation to give people the chance to already update to this new system.
• Added out-of-the-box support for Subsilver2 based themes. Even though I personally don't like the theme, I have to admit I like the way the cronjob screen looks like.
• Updated the TeamSpeak 3 PHP framework to version 1.1.18 (requires TeamSpeak 3 Server of at least version 3.0.6.1).
• Updated UMIL to version 1.0.5, mainly to avoid a few warnings about outdated UMIL in the AutoMOD screen.
• Fixed EVE BBcode to ignore case when searching for items (including in fitting) and ships and systems, to avoid bugs like 'MicroWarpdrive' vs 'Microwarpdrive' in the future.
• Slightly better TeamSpeak 3 error reporting; the cronjob now stops the script when no connection can be made to the TeamSpeak 3 server while TeamSpeak 3 integration is enabled. Cronjob will now also show the reason why, instead of throwing a PHP error.
• Better validation for TeamSpeak 3 server nicknames. (Restricting values to Alpha-Numerical only.)
• Fully automated installation (and module activation). Upload the zipfile to AutoMOD and it should place all the files in the correct places. The UMIL part (install/index.php) now takes care of automaticly activating the different modules.
• Added root/eveapi_check.php to let you verify whether or not your webhost has the required PHP-version, extensions and mods enabled and running. This file requires you to be logged in as an admin, so if you see a white page be sure to log into the admin control panel first before browsing back to this script (security reasons).

New update / installation video has been created, check out the link in the first post of this topic.

Download can be found in the first post of this topic as usual.
Let me know if you come across any other issues.

I'm getting strange functionality when trying to add the teamspeak UID.

Sometimes I get the timeout error message (how can I increase the timeout?).

Sometimes it says the users profile was updated successfully but when go back to the profile page the key did not save and the user was not updated on TS.

Any thoughts?

I was getting this with both the previous version and the latest.

Sorry I missed you in game.

I'm not getting an error because in /includes/eveapi/functions_eveapi.php inside the eveapi_setTeamSpeakGroups function you have most of that code inside of a try/catch but just eat the exception.

I added the following line inside the catch block:



Which is how I found out that my connection to the TS query port was being refused.

I was kind of in a rush so I didn't have time to do it proper. I'd would have preferred to have it as an error message instead of a user log message. In a future update can you add that? It'll save a lot of time with troubleshooting.
