Is getplayer() failing?

[MuNgLo]

There must be some aspect I'm missing here. The problem is that the code below seems to fail setting up $player. I have the application as allowed on my player page and all. Infact the "login" button show up each time you restart ManiaPlanet it seems.

Code: Select all

<?php
// Change these values to match your MPWS user
define('MPWS_USER', 'NOWAY');
define('MPWS_PASS', 'NOWAYISAID');
define('MPWS_SCOPE', 'basic');

// Include the MPWS files
require('libraries/autoload.php');

try {
    // Try to retrieve the data of the player
    $mpwsPlayer = new \Maniaplanet\WebServices\ManiaConnect\Player(MPWS_USER, MPWS_PASS);
    $player = $mpwsPlayer->getPlayer();

    if (!$player) {
        // If $player equals false, we need the player to grant access to his or her data,
        // so we need to print the LoginURL
        $loginURL = htmlspecialchars($mpwsPlayer->getLoginURL(MPWS_SCOPE));
        $authLabel = true;
    } else {
        // If $player is not false, the player allowed accessing his or her data,
		$authLabel = false;
    }
} catch (\Maniaplanet\WebServices\Exception $e) {
    $message = htmlspecialchars("[{$e->getHTTPStatusCode()} {$e->getHTTPStatusMessage()}] {$e->getMessage()}", ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); 
    $error = '<label sizen="100 5" halign="center" text="Exception: '.$message.'" />';
}
?>

I've just started setting it up so I haven't really read it all but shouldn't the verification just pass as long as the player has accepted to let the application get access?

Oh and from the code above I use $authlabel to verify before letting users interact with anything. So far I've just setup a simple guestbook.

Also note that after you have pressed the login button you do get access and getplayer() passes until you restart ManiaPlanet again.

Each time you want to access the user's data, you have to authenticate him again. This means: When you want to get data from getPlayer(), you have to redirect him to the loginURL, e.g. using the <goto> Maniacode.

The difference on the second time is, that the user has not to confirm the access anymore. This means: You redirect him to the loginURL, ManiaConnect immediately redirects him back to your page, and you can access getPlayer().

that actually makes sense

This is what I'm doing btw. Not much.... yet

With a button to authenticate it works just fine. But I cant seem to get a redirect working. Can it be some encoding issues?

[magnetik]

It could be.

Could you give us the code you are using for the redirect and the exact url you are sending the user to ?

I've already made a mess of the code, spread over a bunch of files.
But even when I run tweaked versions of the example code below it won't work.

Examplecode taken from http://forum.funtrackers.net/showthread ... niaconnect

Code: Select all

<?php
// Change these values to match your MPWS user
define('MPWS_USER', XXXXXXXXX');
define('MPWS_PASS', 'XXXXXXXXX');
define('MPWS_SCOPE', 'basic');

// Include the MPWS files
require('libraries/autoload.php');

try {
    // Try to retrieve the data of the player
    $mpwsPlayer = new \Maniaplanet\WebServices\ManiaConnect\Player(MPWS_USER, MPWS_PASS);
    $player = $mpwsPlayer->getPlayer();

    if (!$player) {
        // If $player equals false, we need the player to grant access to his or her data,
        // so we need to print the LoginURL
        $loginURL = htmlspecialchars($mpwsPlayer->getLoginURL(MPWS_SCOPE));
        $label = '<label style="CardButtonMedium" text="Authentificate" manialink="'.$loginURL.'" />';
    } else {
        // If $player is not false, the player allowed accessing his or her data,
        // so we are able to e.g. print the Nickname
        $nickname = htmlspecialchars($player->nickname);
        $label = '<label sizen="100 5" halign="center" text="Your Nickname: '.$nickname.'" />';
    }
} catch (\Maniaplanet\WebServices\Exception $e) {
    // Accessing ManiaConnect or the WebServices in general has failed.
    // In this case, we simply print the error message.
    $message = htmlspecialchars("[{$e->getHTTPStatusCode()} {$e->getHTTPStatusMessage()}] {$e->getMessage()}", ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); 
    $label = '<label sizen="100 5" halign="center" text="Exception: '.$message.'" />';
}
// Output the ManiaLink
header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');
echo <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<manialink version="1">
<timeout>0</timeout>
{$label}
</manialink>
EOT;
?>

This works just fine and in terms of output xml without aouthentification it gives me

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<manialink version="1">
<timeout>0</timeout>
<label style="CardButtonMedium" text="Authentificate" manialink="https://ws.maniaplanet.com/oauth2/authorize/?client_id=munglo%7Cbazinga&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fskynet-irc.com%2Fml%2Fbazinga.php&scope=basic&response_type=code" />
</manialink>

But then if I try to change the button for authentification to a redirect <goto> like say..

Code: Select all

 <?php
// Change these values to match your MPWS user
define('MPWS_USER', 'XXXXXXXXX');
define('MPWS_PASS', 'XXXXXXXXX');
define('MPWS_SCOPE', 'basic');

// Include the MPWS files
require('libraries/autoload.php');

try {
    // Try to retrieve the data of the player
    $mpwsPlayer = new \Maniaplanet\WebServices\ManiaConnect\Player(MPWS_USER, MPWS_PASS);
    $player = $mpwsPlayer->getPlayer();

    if (!$player) {
        // If $player equals false, we need the player to grant access to his or her data,
        // so we need to print the LoginURL
        $loginURL = htmlspecialchars($mpwsPlayer->getLoginURL(MPWS_SCOPE));
       //$label = '<label style="CardButtonMedium" text="Authentificate" manialink="'.$loginURL.'" />';
		$label = '<goto><link>'.$loginURL.'</link></goto>';
// Output the ManiaLink redirectLogin
header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');
echo <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<manialink version="1">
<timeout>0</timeout>
{$label}
</manialink>
EOT;
exit;
		}
	
$player = $mpwsPlayer->getPlayer();
if ($player) {
        // If $player is not false, the player allowed accessing his or her data,
        // so we are able to e.g. print the Nickname
        $nickname = htmlspecialchars($player->nickname);
        $label = '<label sizen="100 5" halign="center" text="Your Nickname: '.$nickname.'" />';
    }
} catch (\Maniaplanet\WebServices\Exception $e) {
    // Accessing ManiaConnect or the WebServices in general has failed.
    // In this case, we simply print the error message.
    $message = htmlspecialchars("[{$e->getHTTPStatusCode()} {$e->getHTTPStatusMessage()}] {$e->getMessage()}", ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); 
    $label = '<label sizen="100 5" halign="center" text="Exception: '.$message.'" />';
}
// Output the ManiaLink
header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');
echo <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<manialink version="1">
<timeout>0</timeout>
{$label}
</manialink>
EOT;
?>

Then it outputs in xml

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<manialink version="1">
<timeout>0</timeout>
<goto><link>https://ws.maniaplanet.com/oauth2/authorize/?client_id=munglo%7Cbazinga&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fskynet-irc.com%2Fml%2Fbazinga.php&scope=basic&response_type=code</link></goto>
</manialink>

Which to me looks ok but still ManiaPlanet will not, get page->redirect->show nickname, as it did when using the button.
$player is still empty and in ManiaPlanet an empty page is shown.

Overall and as far as I can tell it is sticking to UTF-8 all the way.

Only thing that strikes me is the "redirect_uri" in the loginURL. Shouldn't it rather be redirect_url? But since I haven made that part and it worked with the button I guess it's ok as is.

I hope I'm just stupid as usual and someone more experienced can see where I have gone wrong. That's how it usually goes.

[MuNgLo]

Hang on a minute. I've just found a big thing I was doing wrong.
The <goto> tag is maniacode and has to be inside <maniacode>.
The <maniacode> itself need to be the first thing in the xml.
Slap onto that a "noconfirmation='1' " and everything should make sense and work.

Sorry for the huge post above. Hope this can help someone as stupid as me.

EDIT
YeY . got it working as intended in my maincode now to.

    if (!$player) {
        // If $player equals false, we need the player to grant access to his or her data,
        // so we need to print the LoginURL
        $loginURL = htmlspecialchars($mpwsPlayer->getLoginURL(MPWS_SCOPE));
        //$label = '<label style="CardButtonMedium" text="Authentificate" manialink="'.$loginURL.'" />';
		$label = '<goto><link>'.$loginURL.'</link></goto>';
// Output the ManiaLink redirectLogin
