I just signed up for a new infopop forum and it had groupee turned on by default. I dont want it.

One of the main reasons I don't want it is because I was hoping to write some PHP to add user accounts to my infopop forums when new users registred with my website. Most dont know they have to create a new seperate account for the message boards.

If I can do this with groupee then I'd be happy to keep it as well I suppose.

Hello,

I GUESS with the API coming out in v1.0.4, you should able to do this with Groupee!

The following is the plans without Groupee, if you want to change to these plan, I think you need to sumit a support ticket:

You aren't going to be able to add users directly to the db with a script (mainly because the algorithm for encrypting the user's password is not published).

You could post the form contents to Eve with a script, but that doesn't seem like the best method.

I would recommend that you instead have you users register with Eve and then use the Eve Simple Authentication API (with Eve 1.0.4 this will be the same API for Groupee-enabled sites and standard sites) to tie your scripts into Eve.

Is that available now? How long till the 1.0.4 approximately?

It sounds like that's the way to go.

I wish I had known about the non groupee option before. I dont see a link to that on the site or discussion about whether I should choose it or not. I guess Infopop knows best, I'll have to trust them on that for now.

Hi Sniper,

The new version of the Eve Simple Authentication API will be out in 1.0.4 as Steven said. That release is currently in beta and likely will be going to production next week. I can't guarantee that for sure, however, but that's a pretty close estimate.

Thanks Brian, wasn't looking for an exact date but it's helpful to know that if I come back in 2-3 or 4 weeks it'll probably be out there.

Documentation for the new API will be published very shortly.

If you click 'eve' on the bottom of your page and see 1.0.4 your site is ready for it to run.
