CommunityBridge
Updates are at our Spigot page.
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

Posted Apr 10, 2013I have setup the plugin to communicate with my website, a phpBB3 forum. However, when I do the /cbrank <player> <rank> it transfers nicely to my SQL database but the rank on the forum doesn't change! I can see that the group ID has changed in the sql database but it has no effect on the forum.
Help? :(

Posted Apr 9, 2013Would it be possible for users to be forced to register an account in-game?
/register <password> <email>
and then have a set amount of time to verify their account on the site before the account on the MC server gets suspended?

This is how it works by default, you can specify the default group with your permission manager. After that you can set the group to be assigned to the player after they register on the site. Whatever group relates to the rank on the site will be assigned, if the player doesn't exist on the site, they are not affected by CB at all.

I would also love this feature added before the release of Bukkit 1.5.1 R1.0!
This is my example: Player joins the server with "Guest" rank/permission group. Signs up to the website and after the players account is verified, they get moved to Member automatically.
Would this be possible?

Posted Mar 31, 2013Would it be possible to allow anyone to join the server registered/unregistered but upon joining they are put in a separate user group and if they register on the site they get moved to another group?
Example: Someone joins, they get put in a group that does not have world edit (they are not registered on site). They then register on the site and in the server they get moved to a group that has world edit.
That is an alternative to the Avatar/profile post requirements.

Posted Mar 31, 2013@notif: Not sure I fully understand what you're after. Go ahead and submit a feature/support ticket and explain in more detail.
@TheReverend403: You'll want to tell the multi-table section that the name is stored where the forum username is stored. Something like:
I don't remember the table&columns for Xenforo exactly, you'll want to check on those.
Then you point the statistical tracking section towards the table and columns where the custom fields are stored.
This is one of the areas that is pretty confusing and hopefully clearer in V2.

Posted Mar 31, 2013OK, I'm confused.
Using Xenforo, I'm trying to have the online status display in a custom field. The problem with this, is that it requires me to use multi-tables, which is fine. Except it looks for minecraft usernames there rather than using the forum username as a minecraft username. The reason we use the forum username is because it's impossible to register with a username that doesn't match a valid minecraft account on our forum so we use that to sync groups.
Is there any way around this?

Would it be possible add a feature to ignore anyone who is not on the groups list? As it is, it gives anyone not on the list a Null rank, therefore depromoting them to the default rank, which no one wants.

Posted Mar 29, 2013@ThoLav: If you've worked out configs that works with Joomla and/or WBB, I know there's some folks out there that would appreciate seeing them. I can add them to the collection for others to look at if you want. Be sure to remove any database information first!
@Frauenarzt47: I don't have a sample config for WBB available and I do not have time right now to develop one. If someone else has one and submits it, I'll announce it here. :)
@dark1256: I'm not sure I understand what you want, dark1256. Also, it is helpful if you submit feature requests, bug reports, support requests, etc. via the ticket system. :)
@TheReverend403: Possible, yes. Go ahead and submit a feature request via the ticket system. :)
@Rz666: Any of the configurable messages should support standard Minecraft color codes. I'm not finding the typo, did you paste the wrong link?
@xllluzionx: Not sure how long it'll be. Getting time for CommunityBridge or Minecraft has been tricky. Even the construction on the "palace" I'm building for the wife has ground to halt...:)
@notif: That may be the best way to go. Disable group synchronization, manage groups yourself on both sides separately. CommunityBridge in that configuration can still do statistics tracking and kicking of unregistered players (if you're using those features) and player bans.

Posted Mar 11, 2013Is it possible to add some config options to completely disable login messages, auto reminders, etc...?
I know it's possible to disable the auto-reminder, but it still bugs players when it syncs. :<
It's also because I just use this plugin to sync ranks as transparently as possible and have no need for all these fancy features.
Banning? What's that? ;)

Also you might want to change a typo on the http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/communitybridge-fm/pages/documentation/ page. ("exammple").
