CommunityBridge Logo

Community Bridge links up your Minecraft player accounts to their corresponding website/forum/CMS accounts. It uses the web application's groups to assign players to permissions groups and stores various bits of information about the player in the forum's database.

Please use the issue system to submit bug reports, feature/enhancement requests and support requests.

UUIDs Most of the programming is done. Lots and lots and lots of testing to do, however.

If you'd like to help localize (translate) CommunityBridge's messages, go here: Crowd-in Project for CommunityBridge

Metrics

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

A unique identifier
The server's version of Java
Whether the server is in offline or online mode
Which permissions plugin is in use.
The plugin's version
The server's version
The OS version/name and architecture
The core count for the CPU
The number of players online
The Metrics version

Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true. It can be turned off specifically for CommunityBridge in CommunityBridge's config.yml. Before turning it off, please read my explanation of why you should leave it turned on: Why Plugin Metrics?

Please use the issue system to submit bug reports, feature/enhancement requests and support requests.

@coensteven: CommunityBridge 1.x is not compatible with Wordpress. CommunityBridge 2.0.0 will be and is currently in alpha testing. If I don't encounter any major issues, it may be out Real Soon Now...:).

If you're technically minded and interested in doing some alpha-testing of 2.0, send me a message. You'll need to have the resources available that you can make a test minecraft server and test web application. As I haven't yet done rigorous testing of 2.0, I don't want to risk screwing up someone's "live production" server! :).

@Shooty_: Not sure I follow the specifics of your question, but I suspect the gist is: "Can we have Minecraft to Forum synchronization in addition to the Forum to Minecraft synchronization we have now?" and the answer is: planned for 2.x. In fact, I'm ironing out bugs in the "simple two way synchronization" at this very moment. :)

@Uirebaeron: I'm not sure I follow your question, but I'll give an answer anyway. CommunityBridge operates by connectiong to a mysql server at an address you specify. The MySQL server can be on any machine that the Minecraft Server can connect to. However, keep in mind that most MySQL hosting providers restrict access to the MySQL server to specific machines (the ones that their web server(s) run on), which means you will need to make sure that the Minecraft Server's machine is on the "allow" list. How that is done depends on your webhosting/mysql provider (you'll need to find out from them).

@Feaelin I use a dedicated server for everything, thanks for the information. I wasn't sure but I figured it out before I came back...also if it doesn't have a database it can successfully connect to, it freezes my server =p

@Rz666: Whoops. Accidentally removed the leading [ square bracket for the tag. Fixed. @BRMC888: My answer will depend on specific perms system and your config settings. Submit a support ticket with appropriate information attached. @NOTODARKKNIGHT: A couple of people have said they came up with a way to use Joomla! with the current version, but as yet I don't have an example config or explanation of how it is done (what plugins, etc.). If you have that information, I imagine the other Joomla! CMS users would love to see it if you want to submit it. You can use PM if you need to send attachments. @SwiftSwamp: CommunityBridge operates by accessing the MySQL database that your forum/CMS/webapplication uses. It must be the the same database, tables, columns that your webapp uses. (it can be a different user, as MySQL allows multiple users against a given database, this will depend on your hosting service). @AzureNinja

I'm not sure if this is a slight bug or I'm overlooking something, but every time someone joins the server, a message above '*member* has joined the name' shows to everyone saying '*member* has been moved to group *group*' even if they were already in it. This message also appears if 'auto-remind' is enabled (once every 10 minutes) with everyone in the server.

Nobody is an OP either, I'm not sure what is causing this message? I get no errors in the console / with the actual dynamics of the plugin

@Feaelin

Thanks but not to be rude but the URL is incorrect, somehow [Joining] got appended to the url so it now directs to a non-existent page. www.rnjcraft.com/join does work however.

@Goblom: Notif answered your question quite well.

@Rz666: Changed.

@pnkllr: I think you're changing the wrong configuration option. Take a look at the ticket you put in.

@Precautionz: Hyperbole aside...what kind of update?

@tmad40blue: Indeed. 2.0!!!!!! So close, its making me crazy. :)

@pimsserver: That's starting to be our most popular feature request. I think I am hoping for it to make it into 2.1.

@ebergquist: Hmm. That one I'll have to examine in more detail. Please make a support ticket for it so I don't forget to research it. :)
