Hey there, 0mni from EVE.

I just recently setup phpBB and used your mod as a starting base for our alliance's website.

You can see how I solved the problem with Openfire UserService plugin v2+.

I have converted all the bbcodes, from using the modified database entries, that need to be updated etc...

To use the standard database dumps from EVE. It also parses the bbcode evefit better than before, it is more forgiving for line entries and is not strict, such as having high slot items at the top etc...

Anyway, you can take a look at the bbcode changes here:

You can grab the images from my server, just add the domain to the start of any image.

Very nice work!

Just a few questions...

Do you use Steves conversion?

as fas as i see the only tables required are mapSolarSystems, dgmTypeAttributes and invTypes. And where exactly do you include your CSS? just for the Theme? As you also place all icons using CSS is the original Javascript still required?

Thanks, Snitch

Is there a version of this that will work with a 3.1 forum?

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.

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.

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.

I ended up going with the VPS option, but I'm getting this error from the cronjob: "TeamSpeak error: 110 -> Connection timed out"

I'm using the serverquery admin username/password TS3 gave me when the server was first set up, port 10011 is open on the TS3 server, and the IP for my phpbb host is whitelisted; not sure what the issue could be here.

Anyone have any ideas?

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.

Anyone ever run into the following?

Made some changes to our theme but when I try to re-apply the Eve-Mod to the theme, it does not show up in the list of themes that I can apply eve-mod to. Is it possible to update/refresh that list?

Also. I use this string to update the cron job each hour.. Do anybody else have a better way to do that?

@hourly /usr/bin/wget --quiet --output-document=/dev/null /path/to/scriptname

In my ACP, I don't have the section for configuring the cron stuff, and when I ran eveapi_cron.php it wound up removing my test account from my usergroup. When I registered with my API key, it put me in the right usergroup, not sure why it moved me when I ran the script manually..

I also have a page called AccessMask that doesn't appear in your videos. Did I do something wrong?

Do I have to add this script to the system's crontab, or do I need to make one for the apache user?

Absolutely love this mod!

Running into 1 hiccup using a custom skin based off of Prosilver.

When using the [evefit] tags all the info is there but the pictures don't make all together.

http://imgur.com/dIYJNph is an example.

I ran the automod update which put the missing evefit/eveitem/etc in there but the fit's picture itself isn't showing up correctly.

Is there any sort of list or place with skins that are compatible with all the features?
