About This File
This app will obtain data from Steam for your users, and groups, and place it in your IPS Community database for use anywhere on your site. Your board will re-load your members Steam Online information, in configurable batches, every 2 minutes, so you always have up to date information without impacting load times of your community pages.
Out of the box, this app will display steam information in the following places
Member Profile
Next to Members' posts
Member Hovercards (Steam Online Status only)
Widget: X Random Online Steam Members displayed anywhere you can place a Widget
Widget: Steam Group information
More detailed information about the members Steam profile is displayed on the Members Profile page. Including an optional list of games the member owns. Out of the box the list of games can be shown in either an image grid layout, or list view.
Don't want to use Sign in With Steam? No problem, this app works with a Custom Profile field also. Want to use both a custom profile field AND Sign in With Steam? Not a problem, this app seamlessly pulls information from both locations to create a single list of users to cache.
Valid Steam Input format for Custom Profile Field:
Steam Name: ex. ' Aiwa '
17 digit Steam ID: ex. 76561197964468370
Old school Steam ID: ex. STEAM_0:0:2101321 ***
If there are any other places you'd like to see a users steam information displayed, let me know!
Scales seamlessly to work with larger boards without impacting site / server performance.
IP.Board 3.4.x version available here.
Prerequisites
*** Supported natively on 64 bit server configurations. For 32 bit server configurations, php-bcmath is required to decode this format.
Apache / Nginx server timeout settings should be > 30 seconds. This allows Steam Web API servers time to respond before failing gracefully. If configured for < 30 seconds, HTTP 502 errors may occur when running large / bulk updates. If in doubt, contact your hosting provider.

Bug Fixes
Login Handler hardened to stop the 'Validation Failed' error.
Login Handler hardened to ensure user avatars are brought in when creating an account.
Major performance improvements utilizing PHP 7
Major code re-factor to make future upgrades easier
Cleanup routine was leaving behind latent profiles.
Manual update routine wasn't updating the users online status
Installing, uninstalling, then re-installing caused an error that needed to be addressed.
Web API requests are throttling # of requests per second. Catching the exception and hardened the API request system by waiting for a second and re-trying the query before logging an error
Increased size of the owned games column to handled profiles with a larger than average game count.
Template header mismatch.
And a few other small ones.
Known issues
When used in conjunction with Ahmad's Teamspeak Integration:
Do NOT turn on Force entering UUID. Teamspeak Integration hook is hijacking the IPS 'Complete Profile', where users provide their e-mail address after registering with Steam, and accounts are being left without e-mail addresses.
