SourceBans 2.0 Alpha (2013/09/04)
We are pleased to release an alpha version of SourceBans 2. SourceBans 2 is still under heavy development, and we may introduce significant changes without prior notice. Please use it for testing purposes only.
There are still several bugs and missing features, but we encourage you to play around with the application, and give us feedback. While documentation is in the works, installation still consists of uploading the contents of the "web" folder to a web server and visiting http://hostname/sourcebans/install. We intend to provide an upgrade path for SourceBans 1 in the beta release. Some notable differences from SourceBans 1
→ We are still looking for a designer to make a custom theme based on Bootstrap, so for now it just looks like default Bootstrap. To keep up to date with development, visit our GitHub repository. Feel free to report any bugs or request features on the GitHub issue tracker. Please do not use this for issues with SourceBans 1. If you disagree with how a certain feature has been implemented, or are unsure if your feature request should be implemented, please post either in our design discussions forum, or in this topic. Screenshots Demo (thanks Rytis) Download: zip |

Any plans for "sign in through steam" for the web interface ? http://i.imgur.com/yBajGYI.png

Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
It's been asked before, but I'm not sure for what specifically you would need to register using Steam? Admins need to be added by other admins first, so you're already registered. Everything else is public to everyone.

Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
Very nice , but it seems like the servers page "jump" when you click on a server to see the players :>

Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
Your arguments make sense. In SourceBans 2 the password and email address aren't required anymore when adding an admin, so it would be nice to just add the name and Steam ID, and let admins log in via Steam.

ANYONE can log into your SourceBans web site using Steam Login. Now there are a few things that can be done in place. 1: Add the person's steam ID and their access anyway, but don't allow them admin access until they log into the web site. 2: Allow sourcebans a public registration system, but only give access to the people you pick and choose. 3: htaccess password protected location that you give password to only admins, then they Steam ID log in and then again, you STILL have to enter the access of the person. Either way you are still doing MANUAL entry. The 3rd point of this is, that's a potentially huge users database of people that you may not even want IN the users database. I really don't see how this is a more efficient way of adding administrators, I think it just adds clutter. |

This is how I imagine it: http://i.imgur.com/bysBbwW.png Personaly, I see no use for collecting all the steamID's if someone will login. Only allowing access to the (web) back-end to steamID's that are in the list. Everyone else will get redirected to the main page. |
Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
The only thing I can think of that would be an issue is if Steam was down and you couldn't log in at all. In this case I think providing a fallback password would be ideal. If the site cannot access Steam it will request the fallback password. I'm not sure if the auth goes down enough to warrant such a thing, but something to consider.
You could have an option to require users to Steam login to submit a ban request/appeal. In the cases of appeals it would only allow you to do a ban appeal on a ban made against you. Similarly, it may be handy to have the SteamID of a person who submits a ban request for easy follow ups. Though making a user who wants to submit a ban request jump through hoops may not be a good thing. I do think requiring it for appeals would be nice. |

Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
In discussion on #sourcebans on IRC we figured out one use case for a publicly register-able sourcebans...
|
Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
We indeed had a lengthy discussion about this on IRC yesterday, and there are definitely some interesting things to consider. Fact is though that SourceBans has had a public ban appeal/request system for 6 years, and I haven't heard a single complaint of abuse. So for me it would be more about convenience (people not knowing or having to look up their Steam ID) than protection. And I agree that requiring them to register and remember yet another username and password would most likely scare people away, so using Steam login would be a nice middle ground.

Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
If not done already, I'd like to see a method employed that'd let us change ServersIDs instead of editing the various MySQL tables directly.

It looks great! But I think SB team should have merged SourceComms on version 2.

Re: SourceBans 2.0 Public Preview (2013/07/01)
@11530: So it's kind of an OCD thing? ;) You can also use the 1.5 plugin, it's exactly the same as the 2.0 plugin but it works with the old database structure. Under "Changes" there's an explanation of the ServerIP option.
