[nodebb-plugin-eve] EVE Online registration whitelists

[Schamper]

About

@Tanner requested this plugin this morning and I thought why not
Basically this plugin allows you to create alliance and corporation whitelists. Upon registration users have to enter their EVE Online keyID, vCode and select their character from a dropdown. When they are registered their profile will contain a couple extra fields like eve_name, eve_fullname and eve_ticker. These can be used in custom themes.

(I have no idea what I'm really talking about since I have never played EVE Online)

Absolutely amazing. Kudos to you, @Schamper. Epic and +1 internets to you, good sir. A lot of people will get some good use out of this.

Updated to 0.0.3.

• Add more attributes e.g. user image
• Make info available to topic API (posts.user.eve_fullname, ...eve_name, ...eve_ticker)
• Upgrade mechanism (Going to use this for other plugins too ;))

Wow, this is a pretty cool plugin. Wonder if there's an API like that for world of warcraft

[gaasg]

@psychobunny also for hearthstone and heroes of storm, someone take that job !

I can't seem to get the user image part to work, any suggestions?

@Schamper ? @Tanner says for me to tell you to block out the EVE API user token like we do with our passwords in modifyUserData: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/user.js#L108-L110

Aye, need to add a hook for this to make it possible. Looking forward to 5.1, in that case. Until then, I guess we're SOL.

[Schamper]

@julian yeah what @baris linked to

Baris for president! 4 more years!

But in all seriousness, this actually makes the plugin viable. Can't have EVE API's public, even to other users. We're a paranoid bunch, you know

Now this:

Ability to Link Remote Pictures for User Image · Issue #1935 · NodeBB/NodeBB

Currently there is no way for one to use remote pictures for user images: when a user image is not uploaded, it defauts to gravatar. Would definitely like the ability to use remote images instead of gravatar. Could be solved by adding th...

I remember asking @julian about this for a plugin before

[Tanner]

Just published 0.0.4 to npm. It does some things I don't remember because I did it a month ago, but it also hides the API information from the user data

[Tanner]

Nice, that's pretty needed for this plugin so thanks, @Schamper!

Now all that we need to do is to have NodeBB allow remote images so that we can use the EVE API to replace Gravatar as the default user imaging source.

After that, it will be definitely ready to use!
