As I'm thinking use NodeBB to a gaming project, I made this plugin to use Steam account to register/login on NodeBB.

npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-steam

The Steam profile can be private, so this plugin only use the nickname, steamid, profile url and the avatar.

Adding a new post, here the first version of my plugin:

GitHub - igorprado/nodebb-plugin-sso-steam: NodeBB Plugin that allows users to login/register via their Steam account.

NodeBB Plugin that allows users to login/register via their Steam account. - igorprado/nodebb-plugin-sso-steam

GitHub (github.com)

Can't seem to get this to show up on the login page. I installed, activated/enabled, and put in key from steam. Any ideas what I am missing?

Edit: I was missing restarting the server, woops!

Glad you managed to solve the problem!

I'll update the README to alert the users to restart the application after set the STEAM API Key

@Ezra-Sharp said:

would be cool to get a steam icon or have the ability to link to one, there just a "tick" on the register screen for it atm.

The Steam icon must be customized on your template settings (CSS). FontAwesome doesn't provide the Steam icon in their set. There is an issue on Github requesting this icon: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/1035

By the way, another issue opened on plugin github project alerted me for one question: Steam users can have special characters on nicknames, witch is not acceptable by NodeBB username validations:

Users reporting invalid username error on registration. · Issue #4 · igorprado/nodebb-plugin-sso-steam

I got a report from a user earlier that they received the following error: {"error":"Invalid Username!"} When redirected back to the site from Steam. Creating issue here before I take a look at the plugin.

@julian, @psychobunny, suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a long time, but I updated the plugin. Now it works with NodeBB 0.6.x.

The official plugin is:

nodebb-plugin-sso-steam

NodeBB Steam SSO. Latest version: 0.0.9, last published: 10 years ago. Start using nodebb-plugin-sso-steam in your project by running `npm i nodebb-plugin-sso-steam`. There are no other projects in the npm registry using nodebb-plugin-sso-steam.

npm (www.npmjs.com)

I know it maybe remain a few problems with this plugin like special chars on steam nickname, I don't know how NodeBB is dealing with this. I'll try to keep a roadmap to this plugin.

There are 2 plugins listed on NPM about nodebb steam plugin. One was depecrated in favor of the new plugin name. I'll try to update the README of this one. Is there anyway to put a warning message when users tries to install this plugin from NodeBB ACP? Maybe add a warning on package.json... Just a thought.
