rusEfi social network

[AndreyB]

With all these "let's look at your logs" and "please share your tune" I am thinking that rusEfi console should allow one to upload logs and tune - and we need a page where one's logs and tunes would be available.

To make things easier I am thinking to use existing forum username/password for authentication, I guess in the beginning I am looking to hack some custom code into existing phpbb codebase. Next step is for me to learn some PHP

Any PHP developers looking to contribute?

Consider using existing Tapatalk API (this "mobiquo mod" is already installed in this phpbb3!).
It uses XML-RPC for communication protocol: https://tapatalk.com/api.php
And several java implementations already exist: https://github.com/francescomuia/tapatalk-api
This particular project doesn't have "new_topic", but you can add it, I guess:

Code: Select all

// see TopicService.java 
public class TopicService extends TapatalkBaseService
{
//...
	public void newTopic(.........) throws TapatalkApiException
	{
		this.invokeFuntion(TopicFunction.NEW_TOPIC, .........);
	}
}

Then, you could add something like this to your rusEFIconsole java code:

Code: Select all

TapatalkServices ts = new TapatalkServices(urlOfOurRusEfiForum);
ts.getUserService().login(loginName, password);
String[] ids = ts.getForumService().getIdByUrl(forumUrl);
ts.getTopicServices().newTopic(.......);

It requires "(String forum_id, byte [] subject, byte [] text_body, String prefix_id, ..........)"
See the description of all these fields: https://tapatalk.com/api/api_section.php?id=3#new_topic
There's also "reply_post", etc.
You just need to study those xml field names - and voila!

So, what I'm trying to say is that there's no need to write your own php code - it's already there!

Oh, that's actually a great idea. Originally I was thinking to go with completely custom tables but as a simpler solution we can begin by programmatially posting logs or tune as attachments into either normal threads or special auto-updated threads...
