Hi guys,

A while ago I used to have an API-enabled PHPBB forum for my corporation, but with the new version of PHPBB I am no longer able to make the module from Cyerus work. Now I've tried to find alternatives and also reach out to Cyerus but I can not get hold of the latter.

I want to know if anyone knows an alternative that's more reliable and whose dev can be actually reached?

For the record: I am using PHPBB 3.1.x

All my posts are on my personal title and should not be confused as me speaking for anyone else.

AutoMod, which is required for installation of this mod, does not work on phpBB 3.1.X, and never will.

3.1 changed a lot of how the functionality of phpBB works, including how mods are installed. Basically this will require a rather large update to support it, so I would recommend staying on 3.0.X for now, for more reasons than just the API Registration mod but all the other mods available supporting it as well.

There is an item db update for Carnyx found here: http://ge.tt/60AMtvH2/v/0?c (Credit to Snitch Ashor) but other than that not much you can do until Cyerus has rewritten the whole mod

Support for phpBB 3.1 is going slower than expected.
It seems that every time I set a date and time to have it finished, something pops up making me overshoot the deadline.

Few months ago I've started uploading semi-finished code to Github (was a populair request) for the seperated phpBB 3.1 extensions.

Unlike the mod, the extensions will be seperated to simplify updates and promote faster development;

  1. EVE Online BBcodes
  2. EVE Online SSO
  3. EVE Online SSO-Buttons
  4. EVE Online Entity-Authentication
  5. TeamSpeak and OpenFire integration

1,2 Working but beta version
3,4 Coded but not uploaded to github yet (requires some formatting Blink)
5 Requires phpBB to add more 'hooks', process to solve this has been started

EVE Online BBcodes
This will add the BBcodes to your forum just like the mod did. The codebase has been updated to avoid weird behaviour, and should now show the correct slot layout for the tech 3 ships based on their subsystems.
At the time of writing it uses EVE's last expansions database information, so it's only outdated by a few weeks.

EVE Online SSO
EVE Online SSO integration is its more basic form. This extension extends the SSO integration phpBB uses by adding EVE SSO functionality to it. This extension only adds the ability to link your EVE account (character + account combination really) to your forum account, allowing you to log in to the forum using your EVE account. That's it, nothing more.

EVE Online SSOButtons
Changes the weird text-based "Sign in with whatever" options with proper images. Downside is that the text for all non-EVE SSO buttons is also removed (as I override some css), it provides suitable buttons to the other 4 default options aswell.

EVE Online Entity-Authentication
This holds the basic functionality as the mod. It checks the users corporation / alliances and does some magic to make grant / revoke his rights on the forum, teamspeak and/or openfire. This is at the time of writing still a private project, as I'm not confident enough in its abilities to release it to the public just yet.

TeamSpeak and OpenFire integration
This extensions holds the basic functionality of connecting to teamspeak and/or openfire. The EVE Online Entity-Authentication-extension will require this extension to work properly. This is at the time of writing still a private project, as I'm not confident enough in its abilities to release it to the public just yet.

Hope this answers some of your questions.
And ofcourse a big thank-you to all those that were able to answer other users questions while I wasn't around.

I've been waiting for that, Spoonbone. The problem is that Cyerus ignores any and all mails about it, doesn't look at his github issues and seems to not develop for it.

That's why I am looking for an alternative for PHPBB 3.1.X.

A little bit, yes.
What is the return uri meant to be? Is a query string required?
CCP needs that to enable OAUTH ...

Yes, I am being slightly lazy, I could dig into all the phpBB3 code, figure out how extensions override the base code, get used to the phpBB3 specific markup that gets replaced before the pages are served ... but I figure you probably know off the top of your head (or close to that, anyway.)

An update:

I am talking with a developer for this project, and when he has a working product I'll link you to it :)
