Hello there,

At the moment I got a problem with the [evefit] tag which causes to get the fitting window with the modules underneath it with my chrome browser. I am using CDN and CloudFlare which has been 'disabled' and put under 'development' mode which gave me no results.

How I put in the EVE fitting:

you are probly missing the eveapi_fitting.css and eveapi_fitting.js that you need to copy from the prosilver folder to the new style.


Cyerus what is your short term plan for the mod and long term plan?

so i did another clean install

phpbb3 current ver
automod current
umil current

IT WORKED PERFECT !!!!!

The requirement for eveapi_mod_certs.php is within an if() statement and should not cause any errors, as that config value isn't part of the mod either, meaning that the if() statement never turns true, and thus never runs that line.


Hello;


Thank you for your reply. Although it isn't a problem for me to edit out the code, I wanted to tell you that my server triggered the if statement when I added an API key in the standings menu.

Would you be able to tell me where in your code the mod checks for the value size?



Yours sincereley,
ILLADEN

Quite impossible, as I've never included any script that sets that config value. Only way you'd receive that error is if you manually created (added) that config value to the database yourself.

I still don't understand why you (and others) are running into the problem of the vCode size. By default the support.eveonline.com/api pages gives a random 64 character vCode (consisting of upper/lower case letters and numbers) which can be used in my mod without any problems.
That page does allow users to create their own vCode which could be at the core of this problem. On the other hand, why would they need to change it? It's already random and unguessable.

Another problem that exists because the user didn't make the required changes to the template. I've explained before (and will again) that templates uses inheritance. There is NO need to manually add the .css and .js files to the new template, as it should automatically grab the both files from the parent template.

- Either you have disabled the parent template (Prosilver / Subsilver2), which should show you a warning that it's a bad idea to do that.
- Or you haven't installed the changes to the template (AutoMOD can do this for you, as the video shows you in detail).
- Or the masterswitch of the mod is not enabled. The switch 'EVE API Validation' should be enabled before all of my files and functions are working (this is to improve loading times).

Please stop giving advice to copy over the .css and .js files..


My long term plan is to basically wait for CREST to show it's power, and change the mod to fully support it. At this point it is unclear when we (developer) gain access to the beta.
My short term plan is to change the DB to Odyssey once released, to continue / finish the options on the groups-screen rather than the general-screen and to create a simple video showing the power of ejabberd (Jabber) integration.



If you are still having issues with any characters unable to create an account because of the "Too short"- error, please send me an evemail with the charactername, keyid and vcode so that I can test that character on my testforum.

In the second post of this topic there's a link to the videos. On the "Installation and Changes (6.2.0)"-video, start watching from 34:30 as that part will explain the installation of the API fields into new styles.

To those of you who have tied the module in with ejabberd:

Has anyone been able to get presence to work? None of my users are able to see each other as being online. Is this feature broken by the API auth mod?

Fixed this. For those who are interested:

In addition to Cyreus' instructions on what to add to your ejabberd.cfg file, you also need to add this line:

{extauth_cache, 0}.


Then follow the instructions in this article to create the address list:

http://www.ejabberd.im/shared-roster-all



I had done that previously, but without the extauth_cache parameter being set, it doesn't work. Since the authentication is being handled solely on the phpbb side, ejabberd doesn't actually have a list of users to populate the shared roster group with.

I was helped by Cyerus with this

We removed the template and API mod.

re uploaded the template and reinstalled the Mod and then use the inbuilt port to make the changes to the custom template. Now all is working

Thanks for the help

Can you please help me with a problem I having with the eve bbcodes not working properly. When linking an eve item or system using the bbcode you can see the icons but the links don't work. I have watched your videos fully multiple times as well as done much googling but I can not find any documented on this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply Durzel, however I am still having same problem. I moved over "eveapi_fitting.css" and "eveapi_fitting.js" over to my new theme but still same problem.

That file in prosilver was in styles/prosilver/template/eveapi_fitting.css
I moved it to styles/leviathan/template/eveapi_fitting.sss

Thanks for the great mod and the detailed tutorial videos.

I have a question that surprisingly, I couldn't find an answer to anywhere:

Is it possible to make EVE API registration and validation optional? I want users to be able to freely register to the forums but if they provide API key, they get the benefits of EVE API validation (automatic avatar downloading, assignment to groups with higher permissions, etc). And also, if the user has API key invalid or expired, not to auto disable the account, just remove the user from groups that require API key validation.

WIthout it, the mod is more of an "all or nothing" approach to EVE API. It doesn't allow mixed communities that play other games than EVE or situations where old members no longer have active EVE account but should be still able to participate in the forums.

Hello Cyerus.

Your mod is fantastic.
I've been using it for some time now and find it so easy to use and efficient.

However, I ran into a small problem lately with "CA Black" style.
It has not installed correctly and Account Settings don't show the EvE_API custom field (Api key id, vCode...).

I tried to remove the style and re-installed it, but Automod doesn't let me apply a new time the style modification saying that "Mod is already installed".
Do you know a way to get rid of this annoying error?

At the moment it's only full enable or full disable. Can't have both.
Might be implementing this in the future, but it's a bit of a hassle.

Easiest way would be to uninstall and then reinstall my mod using AutoMOD. Settings should be preserved, but it shouldn't hurt to create a backup just in case.

Simple google search on "AutoMOD says mod already installed on style" should help you further.

Thank you, it works a lot better.

I have a question about eveapi_cron.php however. Is it link to PHPBB3 cron and so called regularly ?
Also, is it also working with other templates ? I personnaly get the "template->_tpl_load_file(): File ./styles/ca_black/template/eveapi_cron.html does not exist or is empty" error while browsing it with CA Black.
