I keep getting value entered is too short when I try to enter my api key and user id :S

Update: Think it's fixed.
New problem though if someone tried to register with an invalid api key it gives no errors, Any idea ?

Regards, Xeross

Hi all, I can see that this is no longer in production, but I am hoping someone can help me anyway. i installed this mod onto our forums and had no troubles at all. I told all current members to add thier API Keys and then ran the charid.php file. I believe there are some that have still not entered thier API Keys, but I ran the cron anyway. I simply ran it in my browser with debug on. As soon as I run it the message Validation process completed successfully! comes up instantly, but it does not check any accounts at all, that message is all that displays. I have tried a few different settings but the cron still only runs instantly and displays this message straight away. Any ideas.

Ok this is working great for me. Im sending so iskies to you. thanks.. IF you are still modifying this I would like to have multiple corps as API-Entity
For example

Alliance "The Mobs"
Corp 1 - Blam Gams - PHPBB3 Group - Blam Gams
Corp 2 - Purs strings - PHPBB3 Group - Purs strings
Corp 3 - Simple simon - PHPBB3 Group - Simple simon
Corp 4 - Cran Cerry - PHPBB3 Group - Cran Cerry
Corp 5 - mincers - PHPBB3 Group - mincers

No Corp - All others and people who have left - PHPBB3 Group - Registered Public

This means with an alliance board then all corps can have their own private area on the forms where they can only see.

I researched it to be related to the php.ini not having allow_url_fopen on. The host provider said this can't be changed. Is there a work around or am i boned?

This was 2.1.1 installed onto a fresh phpbb 3.0.5

EDIT: Things i've read is to usea cURL function. Programming noob I am i have not figured this out yet.

This was 2.1.1 installed onto a fresh phpbb 3.0.5

To use the cURL do the following:
In includes/function_users.php find

/**
* Gets the ID for the specified username.
*
* @param string $username The username for the account to be created.
* @param bool $updatename Flag for whether to update the username's capitalization during registration.
* @return the character's ID.
*/
function getID(&$username, $updatename = false) {
$url = "http://api.eve-online.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=".urlencode(stripslashes($username));
$xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($url));
$id = (string) $xml->result->rowset->row[0]->attributes()->characterID;
if($updatename)
{
$username = (string) $xml->result->rowset->row[0]->attributes()->name;
}
return $id;
}

Add before

/**
* Fetches filecontent from the interwebz
*/
function curl_get_file_contents($request) 
{ 
$c = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $request); 
return curl_exec($c); 
curl_close($c); 
}

After you've done this replace all occurrences of "file_get_contents" with "curl_get_file_contents". This works with 3.0.5. However on 3.0.6 there's something that messing things up, can't get the API info to download properly any longer. Came here looking for a solution heh.

EDIT: The bug with 3.0.6 is seems to be that nonmember characters can't register. I'm messing around with this trying to figure out why.

EDIT 2: Figured it out :) The error was that if you had the mod set to Alliance as Validation Method and had non-member registration on, characters not in an alliance would not be able to register. This probably apply if it's running on phpBB 3.0.5 aswell. The fix is quite simple.

Fix in next post!

Same here. The mod wasn't updated to support 3.0.6, so I'd imagine that would be the problem.

In any case, I cannot seem to open the XML file whatsoever. IE 8 spits out this:
