Note

Voting is not yet active. The backend code has to be updated to work with Steemconnect access tokens. This will be done in the next update.

New Features

Front-end

All new front-end with Steemconnect authentication. Created with wordpress, freely available plugins and theme. Several important changes were made to the plugins and added to allow for Steemconnect integration.

Steemconnect

Authentication

Wordpress social login is used to authenticate users. This branch has enabled Steemconnect. The following line was changed so that a new user will have the exact name as their Steem account.

$this->user->profile->displayName = $data->_id;

Github

To only allow authentication via Steemconnect all login buttons direct directly to the Wordpress social login plugin instead of a login screen. The plugin then redirects to Steemconnect, which redirects back to the website, where the plugin deals with the authentication. Another plugin login-logout is used which was altered to direct to wordpress social login.

//wp_loginout( $redirect_to_self );
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ){
    echo '"item_login">';
    echo '<a href="https://steemautomated.eu/wp-login.php?action=wordpress_social_authenticate&mode=login&provider=Steemconnect&redirect_to=' . $login_redirect_to . '">'.$login_text.'</a>';
}

Obtaining offline voting permissions

In order to vote for users offline voting permissions have to be obtained. First the users is checked to be logged in. If not, the user is request to do so. When the user is logged username corresponds to their Steem account. This account is looked up in the steem_authorization table where the access and refresh tokens are stored. The user is then requested to authorise @steemautomated to perform offline voting.

// import steemconnet authentication
include 'authenticate.php';

// see if current user is logged in and has authenticated voting
// permissions in the database
global $wpdb;
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

echo '<div>';
if ($current_user->user_login == ''){
    echo '<div align="center"><br><h1>You need to <a href="https://ste' .
    'emautomated.eu/wp-login.php?action=wordpress_social_authenticate&' .
    'mode=login&provider=Steemconnect&redirect_to=' . get_permalink() .
    '">log in</a></h1></div>';
} else {
    $results = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT * FROM `steem_authorization` ' .
    'WHERE `user_login` = "' . $current_user->user_login . '"');
            if (count($results) == 0){
                echo '<div align="center"><h1><br>Authorize <font color=' .
                '"blue">@steemautomated</font> to vote for you.</h1><br><a ' .
                'class="maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-steemconnect" href=' .
                '"https://steemconnect.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=' .
                'steemautomated&redirect_uri=' . get_permalink() .'&response_' .
                'type=code&scope=offline,vote"><span class="mb-text">' .
                'Authorize</span></a></div><br>';
    }
}
echo '</div>';

Obtaining offline voting permissions is done with a POST request on the server. First performing a GET type=code&scope=offline,vote request to Steemconnect returns a code, this code is then used to obtain the access_token and refresh_token. The tokens are stored into the database with the date when the access_token expires.

<?php
  if (isset($_GET['code'])) {

    // Params for POST request
    $data = array(
        'code' => $_GET['code'],
        'client_secret' => SC_CLIENT_SECRET
    );

    $payload = json_encode($data);

    // Prepare new cURL resource
    $ch = curl_init('https://steemconnect.com/api/oauth2/token');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);

    // Set HTTP Header for POST request
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Content-Length: ' . strlen($payload))
    );

    // Submit the POST request
    $result = curl_exec($ch);

    // Close cURL session handle
    curl_close($ch);

    $json = json_decode($result);
    $date = date("Y/m/d H:G:s", time() + $json->expires_in);

    // Add tokens to the database
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO `steem_authorization` (`id`, `access_token`, " .
    "`user_login`, `expires_in`, `refresh_token`) VALUES (NULL, " .
    "'" . $json->access_token . "', '" . $json->username ."', '" .
    $date . "', '" . $json->refresh_token ."') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE " .
    "`user_login`='" . $json->username ."';");
  }
?>
