JsConnect Issues

Yonder

In the long run i'm trying to integrate usercake with a forum. I have ended up here with vanilla because the ease of use the integration can be.

All i ever get is:

{"error":"invalid_request","message":"The client_id parameter is missing."}

I have googled and searched this forum but no real solutions pop up just questions.

I have took the index.php from the libraries and replaced the client id and secret with ones generated from the admin of vanilla. All i ever get in the admin backend is: Validation does not exist: regex.

I have tried using the full information from usercake, id, username, email. Same result.

I have no idea what i am doing wrong, it seemed so straightforward.

Any help is appreciated.

Forum Version: 2.0.18.10 Jsconnect Version: 1.4.1

Please try using the previous version, 1.0.3b, found here: http://vanillaforums.org/addon/jsconnect-plugin-1.0.3b

1. Disable jsconnect in the dashboard
2. Delete the jsconnect folder from your /plugins/ folder
3. Upload the older version to your /plugins/ folder
4. Enable jsconnect in the dashboard

Same issue.

Now i have my thinking cap on. It seems it is whenever i turned on Secure = true or set it to an encryption. Then it stops worked.

This should be true unless you are testing.
You can also use a hash name like md5, sha1 etc which must be the name as the connection settings in Vanilla.

I have set it to secure = md5 and set md5 in the backend. Results in the same issue. As soon as i put secure = false. It works.

Also, my forum is in a directory forum (domain.com/forum)

So when i go to click SIGN IN WITH (SHORT NAME). the url is /entry/jsconnect?client_id=XXXX&Target=%2F

resulting in 404 because it should be /forum/entry/jsconnect?client_id=XXXX&Target=%2F

On line 107 of jsconnect.js

var connectUrl = gdn.url('/entry/jsconnect?client_id='+client_id+'&Target='+target);

changed to:

var connectUrl = gdn.url('/forum/entry/jsconnect?client_id='+client_id+'&Target='+target);

I did try putting it to var connectUrl = gdn.url('entry/jsconnect?client_id='+client_id+'&Target='+target);

But that didnt work for some reason.

gdn.url should map the garden url to a 'real' url.

Be sure to set the following in your config:

$Configuration['Garden']['WebRoot'] = '/forum/';

This didn't exist in the original config. So i added it, still same thing. looks at root /entry rather than /forum/entry

So it seems i got this all working eventually. I guess when i set the secure to true. I still expected my

jsonp string to read the values. Either way now secure is enabled it works fine.

The only issue i have left is this /entry instead of /forum/entry.

It also created a user: System system@domain.com

Is this required or can i deleted?

if you view source look at the section bellow <!-- Various definitions for Javascript //-->

you should inputs for WebRoot, UrlFormat, Path the would give you an idea what gdn.url() is using.

• <input type="hidden" id="WebRoot" value="example.com/forum" />
• <input type="hidden" id="UrlFormat" value="/forum/{Path}" />
• <input type="hidden" id="Path" value="" />

Replaced domain with example. Looks good to me?

Not sure what i am doing wrong. It seems to be one thing fixes and one thing breaks.

So after a fresh install the jsconnect now directs to the correct /forum/entry (without doing anything but a reinstall).

However now the jsconnect 1.4.1 does not use the logout url. Does Vanilla cache? Is there a way to clear it or turn it off for development mode?

I've installed:

• 2.0.18.10 - 1.4.1 jconnect regex issue
• 2.1b - cannot enable plugins/themes had to comment out a line in settingscontroller (didn't like that)
• 2.1b2 - works yet the logout url doesn't overwrite the logout log out for jsconnect and after successfully once getting it to work, i can no longer go back and edit it without getting regex issues.

Created a route:

entry/signout
domain.com/logout.php
Permanent (301)

Then destroyed vanilla's cookie in my logout.php.

Scared to touch anything now incase it breaks.
