Request: PHPBB3Sync for WoWRoster 2

by **TankGirl** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:26 pm

Would love to see work on a PHPBB3 WoWRoster 2 addon.
Something like SMFSync in post:
http://www.wowroster.net/Forums/viewtopic/t=4472.html

But add ranks to ranks, in addition to ranks to groups synchronization to phpbb3.

Would be more than happy to make a donation for such an addon.
Thank You.

STEAL THIS CODE PLEASE!

I thought someone could make this into a module for this.
Since I don't "Get" roster addon structure or triggers. (yet)

I though someone could use this for "ban control".
This script will "register" a user if they haven't registered, and then set them to "deactivated by admin" for either new (from this script) or already registered.

I have butchered the SMFSync code tocreate this first version. It only updates Groups and Locations so far, and there is a bunch of stuff that doesn't work, but feel free to give it a go and tell me where it doesn't work. I think I need to change how it gets the table names as I think I may have a non-standard setup (I have phpBB in Dragonfly and a standalone roster). It works well enough for me but I will continue to work on it until it has most of the same functionality of SMFSync.

I make no promises about this, use at your own risk.

Any way of setting this up so they don't have to be in the same database? I use separate for my phpbb and roster..

I'll add it to the list. I'm a php novice so it may take a while - I want to get the main functions working right first.

Technically about anywhere... I have it as part of a my admin member list.
If I click ban it will send the name to this script and ban that username in phpbb3.
When i said "script" and "I thought someone could make this into a module" I meant is for for advanced users only and NOT a finished product by any means.
Just to give it one more step into what COULD be part of someone's finished project.

Jaffa I installed today and a wary to continue as there are no settings as to which rank goes to which group.
Set the phpbb3 prefix and forum path.
Disabled the location, and double check disable of ban control.
Am I missing something here?

If manage groups is set to yes, the addon will create groups with the same name as the ranks in the guild and then remove people who are in both the roster and the forum from all groups, and add them in to the groups named after their ranks. The only people that won't be moved are those who can't be found in the Roster, and those in the Protected group, if it is set.

I will be posting a new version probably tonight with lots more functionality, so watch this space.

If you already have some groups set up but they don't have the same names as the ranks, it may be wise to change the groups in the forum first as the new groups created will have no permissions - these need to be set manually in phpBB.

Really intersted in this I have tried to install but I am unsure of the Path setting.

The forum path doesn't do anything - it is a hangover from SMFSync. It will be removed in the next version.
