Thanks for the update DP. I noticed that it added a few people to the member group who I had missed! Awesome.

One problem though, there are several users who are not in my steam group anymore and they were not removed from that secondary usergroup.

I was sure that vb won't have a problem with that because I have seen other addons doing this too (the ,42 thing with the comma even if there's only one group) I'll check it later and upload a fixed version.

What does that mean and where do i post {vb:raw post.steamavatar} so that i can get it to appear underneath the username of my users when they post a thread or a reply?

I suggest you send me a pm with your forum details and an administrative account, also include a detailed description how you want it to appear, then I'll take a look myself.

Can you run the maintenance action and confirm that it doesn't remove such users? If so, I'll check later today and include a fix in the next version. The membergroup thing is still a bit clunky, there are more than one user fields which need to be checked... Maybe I'll rework it so it is correct once and for all

[joshskeety]

Yep, it doesn't remove them at all.

Our group has gotten quite sizable so it's hard to keep track of when users all the time. Sometimes we'll have users leave our group and not tell us, so they'll still have access to our Member only forums when we wouldn't want them having access. That's primarily what I use this feature for. Plus, it's nice to have our Member usergroup and Steam members group fully sync'd.

Can you add a steam connect option to set the size of the avatar in the profile. Right now its way to big on full. It would be nice to have a drop down setting to change everybody on the websites steam avatar size.

It would also be nice to haven an option to turn that off/on.

You could modify the graphic to say what you want it to say if you like.

That must be related to the membergroup format issue I discussed a few posts earlier. Do you need immediate help with this? If so, please contact me with access to your database (phpmyadmin) or send me a PM, I'll explain you how to fix this by yourself if you prefer.

I'll look into it.

Another Update Time!

Today I included a bunch of fixes for functionalities and a critical bugfix which caused database errors in some cases.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

You'll find a small patch process when updating the plugin file. Older versions of the mod just appended additional usergroups to the existing ones, this could lead to invalid strings like ,1 or 5,,6 which would cause database errors if they appeared. The patcher fixes those entries and the updated addon will make sure that this won't happen again.

Next are a few new options, the important ones being that you now can force steam users to enter an email address. At the beginning I thought that new users shouldn't be bothered with having to enter an email address but I respect many forum owners want to be able to send those users emails nontheless, so you're now able to turn on quick registration but have the user to enter an email address. This of course doesn't affect existing users which didn't enter one.

Next is the improved update functionality for handling with additional usergroups when a user registers with steam connect and is in the specified steam group. Last time this didn't work quite well, so now everything revolving about those groups and linking/unlinking forum accounts should work as intended.
Additionally, the scheduled job which keeps those associations updated runs every day at 4:00 am. If you want to increase the interval or change the time, you may do so in the scheduled task section of the admincp.

What you'll notice is a linkback at the footer of your forum to this vb.org mod page and to steam. Reason is, that steam does actually require a linkback to appear on any sites which use their API. This change follows the requirement and appends a linkback to this mod if someone is curious where to find this addon. This doesn't give me any benefits like revenue other than more popularity for the mod which again doesn't generate any money for me directly. You are welcome to donate a small amount if you really want to remove the backlink to this mod page, the steam backlink however must remain because I don't have any power over their rules.

As always, backup your forum before updating, download the newest archive file, upload all contents inside "upload" into your forum overwriting existing ones, then upload the new xml plugin file in your admincp choosing to update existing products.

Let me know if any issues come up.

Updated no problems

Why does this check need to take so long? I think you could use the ISteamUser/GetUserGroupList API. Ex:
http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetUserGroupList/v0001/?key=<redacted>&format=xml&steamid=76561197968459473

I had to update mine twice to get it to show in admincp settings

FROM
product-steamconnect_1_4_4rc3.zip
TO
product-steamconnect_1_4_5rc3.zip

And the API and group settings was removed as well

Not complaining just might be my hosting...

Thanks, wasn't aware I can use this too. I'll check if I can improve the function.

I re-arranged the settings, maybe that's why. But it shouldn't be a problem I hope.

You can have a look at the ISteamWebAPIUtil/GetSupportedAPIList API to see all the APIs available. Just make sure to give it an API key like the other APIs otherwise you'll only see APIs available without an API key.
