Is there a Flarum extension for Steam login?

AndresErnestoValdes

Looking to add the option to login with steam rather than the standard login to my forum.

Not yet, but it should be possible to make one.

I'm gonna work on this

sijad Make sure you make a thread about it so that people know that you're working on it.

I was into it then I realised I can't have an API key as I don't have any game in my steam account 😢 if someone can help me with this please let me know

VIRUXE

sijad What exactly do you need?

sijad

VIRUXE thanks for you reply, I just need an API key, I just tried to get one from here and I got this:

You will be granted access to Steam Web API keys when you have games in your Steam account.

VIRUXE

sijad from what I'm seeing api keys are granted per user. Is that right? How would an api key that is assigned just for me help you?

I don't know if this would help with satisfying the "need a game for api" requirement, but there are many free games on steam.

Additionally, (if they require a paid game) there are some very minimal cost games (list of games sorted by lowest price)

In fact, if you use the humble bundle (collection of games for low prices - usually a large portion donated to charity) you can get several steam game codes for $1. I've personally used them several times

luceos Also the api key allows managing your own account.

Asking for and using (even with good intentions) a api key is identical (unless I'm mistaken) to asking for a user login which I'd consider inappropriate. It seems to already been requested and provided so can't change that, but I'd recommend making a $1 investment over risking someone elses account who may of made a greater investment in their account.

VIRUXE I really didn't spend much time on steam, but if you can't revoke your API keys you better keep them secret

VIRUXE

Alright. It looks like I need a domain name? http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

sijad

you can use http://flarum.skinod.com or http://flarum.bigdivision.com if you want
please make sure you can change it afterward

VIRUXE

sijad I can't get either of those domains to resolve. At least on my cellphone.

sijad

VIRUXE I just install flarum here: http://flarum.bigdivision.com/
please send me an email to hi@skinod.com, I'll send you admin details
I really appreciate your help

p.s. if you're not comfortable to sharing your API key, we can work on a private repo and you can use that for installing the plugin on you flarum (which I don't have access to), it'll take more time though, just saying...

VIRUXE

sijad sent you an email.

sijad

VIRUXE I got the API key, Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

luceos

Toby is planning on adding SSO supportive code to flarum/core soon. Just saying.

Also, as a user of steam (and having used their api), I wouldn't give out your api key; because any violation will result in your account being closed. Also the api key allows managing your own account. Just saying, sijad you should probably just have signed up for an account, that would have been sufficient.

sijad

luceos thanks for heads up, I didn't know that also as I don't have any game in my profile I can't have an API key

VIRUXE

sijad so please use my key fairly. I don't want to have my games taken away. :p

sijad

VIRUXE I still din't use that, you can revoke it if you want, I guess I can make it blind and I'll ask you to test it to making sure if works OK

sijad

I think it's done, can someone test it and confirm it's actually works?

composer require sijad/flarum-ext-auth-steam

VIRUXE can you confirm nothing happened during this time by using your API key?
