• Hi, I am trying to set up a website for my minecraft server. I want to set up the buddypress registration to only allow users to register if their username reads as a premium account on the minecraft.net server. I found a plugin that was meant to do that, but it hasn’t been updated for a long time, and it no longer works. I have been trying to alter the plugin, but so far, it hasn’t shown any results. As far as I can tell, the plugin is not blocking users, and that is all. Could someone tell me if I have done something wrong?
    I have changed the code a lot from the original, but I don’t think that I have damaged anything, let me know if you need the original, and I will post it.

    EDIT: It turns out that I did damage some of the code, I was getting a very small error on the wordpress plugin page, I fixed that, and upaded the code below.

    Here is the plugin’s code:

    <?php
    /*
       Plugin Name: Minecraft Validator
       Description: Simple plugin to verify new WordPress accounts against the Minecraft user database. If the username doesn't show up as a valid Minecraft player, it won't let them register.

    /* Run activation hook when plugin is activated */
    register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'get_wp_version');
    
    /* Rewrite registration form */
    function mcv_registration_form() {
    	wp_enqueue_script( 'login_form', plugins_url() . '/minecraft-validator/usernamerewrite.js', array('jquery'), false, false );
    }
    add_action('login_head', 'mcv_registration_form');
    
    /* Get WordPress version */
    function get_wp_version() {
        global $wp_version;
        if ( version_compare ( $wp_version, '3.1', '<')) {

        }
    }

    If the account check fails, the ‘registration_errors’ hook is never added so the registration is allowed to continue. This strikes me as a convoluted way to do things. First of all, the same function is added to two hooks that have different parameters, so it cannot work right anyway. Why not hook ‘verify_mc_account’ to ‘registration_errors’ straight away and not bother with ‘register_post’? Then the verification checks the account and adds the error on failure, otherwise all is good. Simple and straight forward.

    I am not entirely sure what you mean, as I am still rather new to PHP code, would you be able to update that code, and post it for me?

    This segment is the only part modified. It should work for you, but I have no easy way to test this myself.

    /* Register actions */
    add_action('registration_errors', 'verify_mc_account', 10, 3);
    add_action('admin_menu', 'add_mcval_options');
    
    /* Check account on minecraft.net */
    function verify_mc_account( $errors, $login, $email ) {
    	//$user_info = get_userdata(1);
    	$user_info = get_user_by('login', $login );
    	$options = array(
            'timeout' => 5,
        );
        $mcacct = wp_remote_get('http://www.minecraft.net/haspaid.jsp?user='.$user_info->user_login);
    
        if ( $mcacct == 'false' ) {
            if ( $mcacct == 'false' ) {
                $errors->add('mc_error',__('<strong>ERROR:</strong> Minecraft account is invalid.'));
            } else {
                $errors->add('mc_error',__('<strong>ERROR:</strong> Unable to contact minecraft.net.'));
            }
        }
        return $errors;
    }
    /* Activation/Deactivation */
    function set_mcval_options() {
        add_option('hide_me', 'false');
    }

    I’m confused by the line $user_info = get_userdata(1);. I commented this line out and replaced it with what seemed more appropriate. Change it back if it is what you really need.

    get_userdata(1) returns the user object for user ID 1 regardless of which user is logged in. Thus you are checking account status for user ID 1 for all users, not checking their own account status.

    You don’t really need to get the user object anyway, you only need the user login, which is passed in $login. You could remove all $user_info related code and just supply $login for the minecraft user URL parameter.

    Sorry for the late reply, my website was not allowed access to external sites, so I couldn’t test this. Unfortunately it didn’t work, so maybe I will just figure it out as I continue to learn PHP. Thanks for the help!

    Hi, did you figure this out?

    Thanks!
