xenForo Activation

So there are plugins that allow you to bridge your forum with the server, but this requires you to sign up on the website and activate it from there, aswell as they carry so many unneeded features.

My idea:
Create a plugin that essentially allows players to register an account on an xenforo forum, from in-game, with commands like:
- /register <password> <confirmpassword> (This would register your account on the forums, so you can then sign in to xenforo and use xenforo as usual)
- /unregister <password> <confirmpassword> (This would un-register the minecraft account from the forums, so the account owner is no longer seen as the player that originally registered)

This would mean that the user that created the account is the actual owner of that mc account, (Unless cracked server, but thats risky anyway) and would stop any spam bots/needing to do a hefty verification process.

How it would work:
Use same mysql database as the forum?

If you need an xenForo site to test on, add meh on skype: joepwnsall1
And add me on skype anyway so we can talk about it?

Thanks

 

You basicly need to insert a user in the users table of the database.
But you'll also have to check if the user already exists etc...

 

Sadly I don't know how to do that, as my knowledge of java is next to nothing
The plugin could just verify the account instead of a verify email if thats easier than registering a whole new account

 

So wait what is this for? Is it like you have to make a forum account to be able to play? Or is it just like a thing that links the minecraft user name so it shows up on a profile account on the forum?

It is supposed to be like MCPvP XD

 

thats going to be somewhat easy. i think. i dont have the money to use it... so idk also the password encryption...

 

No idea what that is, maybe explain it?

 

The Kit PvP server for MCPvP has this feature. They don't use XenForo though. They use a different web provider

 

It will make it so that users can use this to setup a forum account, without having to verify an email, as well as it garentee's all forum users' usernames are their minecraft usernames.

 

Yes! Password encryption is also a thing. It may get hard

I've done this on my own server, I'm running a SMF forum and I had lots of spammers on it(They were just posting their own links or something). That's why we made a plugin that registers you ingame.

 

MCZone has it as well as the avalanche network are soon the have it, but they both use bootstrap

yeh, thats the sorta thing I want

ShotBow Network dues this. i have no clue how

 

I'm gunna see if I can get the dev of avalanche to tell me how it works, and then feed that back to here, to help you guys

Also, it could work with any free forum as well, such as phpbb and mybb
(They both use MySQL)
