[nodebb-plugin-eve] EVE Online registration whitelists

[Schamper]

Current version is up to 0.0.8.

Changelog:

• Fixed registration
• Fixed corporation check
• Fixed a bug that might cause NodeBB to fail loading
• Compatibility with NodeBB's latest hooks
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't register if you weren't in an alliance/corporation
• Your NodeBB avatar will now reflect the avatar of the selected character

Yes, I did it. The avatar thing is real. It's a hack, I'm not especially proud of it, but most of my plugins are built upon NodeBB hacks Pretty much the reason why they break so often..

Simply epic. Great work @schamper!

Some feedback I've received so far:

Many folks are requesting the ability to add multiple API's on a single account in order to keep track of their characters and which character belongs to who. The purpose behind this is so that a corporation can manage their characters and players all the same, and easily view these characters in a single interface.

The features that I would request are as follows:

• Ability to add multiple API's/Characters to a single account
• A front-end or back-end interface to view account's "mains" and their associated API's or "alts"

I imagine it would look something like this:

But with different character names, of course.

[Schamper]

@Tanner I suppose that's doable.

Could also automagically add all the other characters as alt, or is that not intended behaviour?

[Tanner]

@Schamper That would be intended, yes. It'd have to list what corporation they're in regardless of whether they're in the whitelisted corp or not. Sometimes alts are in other corps.

[Schamper]

@Tanner so basically, only perform corp/alliance check on main (selected during registration), add all the others as alts, regardless of corp/alliance?

[Tanner]

@Schamper that's correct. It should more or less be a list of alts associated with the main account for corporate management purposes. Adding multiple API's to the main account shouldn't re-check the API, it should just add the characters to a list associated with the main.

Having the page that displays this information restricted to admins would be preferable.

[Tahnil]

Another thing that would be nice is to show the EVE-ingame-name of the selected main character instead of the nodeBB login name. The reason behind it is that other people may recognize the avatar, but without the name that‘s simply not enough.

[Schamper]

@Tahnil customize your theme to use eve_name for just the character name or eve_fullname for ticker + character name, instead of the default username

[Tahnil]

Wow. That‘s a nice one. I‘m still new to NodeBB, so I didn‘t know that. But I‘ll try that soon. Thanks @Schamper

[Tanner]

Getting an error with alliance whitelisting, where even though the alliance is added the user cannot be whitelisted if they are part of said alliance. Seems that you have to add individual corps in order for the whitelisting to work.

In addition to the above, I'm getting this ready for 0.6.0 for Tanner and he's reporting No Data Received. Not sure if I've missed something or not.

[Schamper]

@Tanner I'll look into it when I have the time. Expect sometime this week.

@a_5mith I'll look into it sometime this week.

@Schamper it's possible that this plugin may be causing NodeBB to restart when trying to access /admin/manage/groups as the output in the log is as follows when trying to access that particular page:

[cluster] Child Process (29612) has disconnected

Could this have anything to do with the fact that the admin does not have an EVE API tied to it?

[Schamper]

@Tanner I've had a similar crash report from the WoW plugin. Again, I'll look into it.

[Schamper]

@a_5mith 0.6.0 compatible and crash reported by @Tanner is fixed.

Will be in the next version which includes some other stuff @Tanner requested.
