Steam Group XML help ?

Greetings,

i have a problem with my steam group XML,, the thing is that there is 105 members but in the XML

the members SteamIDs shown are very lower than 105

How can i see all steam ids ?

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dza...listxml/?xml=1

Thank YOU

Re: Steam Group XML help ?

Probably because it's outdated.
look into Web API

Re: Steam Group XML help ?

i checked the Web API i can't find anything about group members

Re: Steam Group XML help ?

I can see all members with chrome and firefox. Try the show source function if you can't.

Re: Steam Group XML help ?

If you need php, you could use this. I use this method to get various information for my Server: http://pastebin.com/uxBMMFaS
replace YOURGROUPNAME with the customurl you gave your steamgroup.
It is requiered that your host has it enabled that file_get_contents can access other websites. If not, it will not work, regradless which method you will choose.

Also, if you do not post your code, we cannot help you.

Side Note: You should stick to xml as much as possible, I just use the above method because informations I need are not available in xml or with the api.

If you're trying to see if a user is apart of a specific group in a script, you could also use 'Steam_RequestGroupStatus(client, groupAccountID);' from the SteamTools extension. This would allow you to kick users based on groups by checking their group status in the 'OnClientConnect' forward.

Re: Steam Group XML help ?

let me explain to you what i have exactly done,

Request info from the group XML, the XML shows the members SteamIDs,

and i want to make a page where the group members are shown with their names avatars and stat

like this

PHP Code:


		
			


$steamurl = "http://steamcommunity.com/groups/groupid";





       $xml = file_get_contents($steamurl.'/memberslistxml/');

    if(strpos($xml,'<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01')===FALSE){

    $parsed = simplexml_load_string($xml);



                    foreach ($parsed->members->steamID64 as $mem) {

                

                $xml = file_get_contents('http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/' .$mem. '/?xml=1');

                $parsed = simplexml_load_string($xml);

and that successfully showed the group members, if you want the online page link i can post it

the problem is that the page takes time loading,, the more members in the group the more load time

Of course it's going to take time to load for the following reason:
1) When you request the webpage, the webserver executes the php code on itself.
2) The php code tells the server to initiate a web request to the url for the group's member list.
3) The server then waits(pauses php execution) until the webserver it's contacting returns a web response.
4) The php code once it receives the xml response then parses it.
Steps 5 to 7 repeat for each member in the steam group:
5) The php code tells the server to initiate a web request to the member's profile
6) The server then waits(pauses php execution) until the webserver it's contacting returns a web response for the member's profile.
7) Once it has the profile xml, it then parses it.
