EVE Technology Lab

I meant Steve Ronuken (fuzzwork).
When writing just the theme i thought you added the css to the phpbb theme... i just figured out the api mod brings its own css file...

Thanks anyway I'll try to modify it to fit the original background, guess its just a matter of taste though.

No, I believe the author is/was working one one, but haven't seen much progress on github.

I have begun to modify the code for phpBB3.1 for our alliance usage, I have not decided if I want to release what I have when I am done. Despite phpBB 3.1 using extensions, unfortunately there are some code changes that need to be made to the core of phpBB, not a lot, but there are some. This is simply due to the fact that, we need more control over registration and other features than are possible with the limitations of extensions, at least my understanding of how they work.

I have been able to do away with the code changes required for avatars. It is now based entirely off of phpBB's new avatar driver system, and allows the users to simply hit a button to retrieve the avatar from the EVE server, and cache it on the server.

I have migrated the user options, to a seperate control page under the UCP as well as the ACP. So basically, no code changes required to update your api, register on teamspeak, or jabber.

Updating API

Registering on Jabber (Openfire, I removed ejabber, simply because our alliance doesn't use it, if I do release it, I won't readd it.)

Registering on Teamspeak, I intergrated from how it worked on my Drupal site, you now connect to teamspeak, and just hit the button as long as your nickname matches it will grab your unique id automatically.

Not posting UCP, as its the same structure, a new menu specifically for EVE API, no longer hidden in profile.

Registration works, as well as the core code from before, but I am going to rewrite it to be a little more friendly.

Also our openfire server is the latest, which is based off of the user service module 2.0+ which has a different way to add/remove/update users than before, so I removed the old openfire method.

I have to basically rewrite the code to update to the new phpBB standard, as well as my own personal style. I am OCD when it comes to code. I am also going to migrate all the "language" into language files, to allow for easier translation, we have Russian allies ;)

Oh yah, uses the latest Pheal-NG instead of the depreciated Pheal ;)

Going to be adding the bbCodes tomorrow night, shouldn't require any file edits as there is a way to do it.

Okay some more progress, I have been able, in theory, to be able to remove ALL code edits, except for 4 file edits, can't be helped as we want to know why a user is inactive, and well it doesn't help if its an api key issue, and all u see is unknown reason.

3 of the file edits are simple and easy, and really don't even matter if you don't do them, except it gives you more info to debug why they are inactive.

The 4th file edit is to the template login_body.html

Thats it!

I will let you know how far I progress :)

My notes, if your curious and/or want to be helpful.

Is there a Teamspeak 3 host that this will work with? No hosts seems to support whitelists, which is required for the Teamspeak module to connect.

Gameservers did just fine, as did a couple other TeamSpeak hosts I used. They all were unreliable though overall, so I ended up just hosting my own server. It's cheaper anyways if you are willing to deal with the IT side of it. Get a basic Rackspace server for $20/mo and pay for a TeamSpeak license yearly and you're set.

If you use telnet on your machine, can you connect via that port to your teamspeak server? You shouldn't need to whitelist here as you won't be overwhelming the system with commands just trying to connect. If that doesn't work something on the server is blocking it still, be it iptables or something like selinux.

It's being blocked on the site level then. Is your site also on a VPS? If it's not and you are using shared hosting there is a very high likelihood that your provider blocks all non-standard outgoing ports.

Hmmmm, it might work. I don't know for sure. You could try running it on port 443 or 8080 assuming you aren't using anything SSL encrypted on the server running TeamSpeak. Alternatively, you can *usually* get exceptions for web services like this from shared hosting as long as they have a heads up of what and why the port is needed going outbound. Depends on the company I suppose.

I'm getting an error when I try to run the jabber module with external authentication enabled; I'm running ejabberd on a custom port (8080) if that matters, so that my shared hosting can connect.

edit: just to clarify, this error appears when I hit "submit" on the jabber settings section under Client Communication. It submits fine when I don't have external auth enabled.
