CommunityBridge
Updates are at our Spigot page.
Community Bridge links up your Minecraft player accounts to their corresponding website/forum/CMS accounts. It uses the web application's groups to assign players to permissions groups and stores various bits of information about the player in the forum's database.
Please use the issue system to submit bug reports, feature/enhancement requests and support requests.
UUIDs Most of the programming is done. Lots and lots and lots of testing to do, however.
If you'd like to help localize (translate) CommunityBridge's messages, go here: Crowd-in Project for CommunityBridge

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

- Which permissions plugin is in use.
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU

Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true. It can be turned off specifically for CommunityBridge in CommunityBridge's config.yml. Before turning it off, please read my explanation of why you should leave it turned on: Why Plugin Metrics?

@Hockeymikey
Agreed – this plugin is essential for my server, and I've never found anything quite like it! I'm pretty sure we could get a joint fund to support future development! I can't imagine my server without this plugin. :(
@Feaelin
Aww, anyway to get you back on? I love this plugin, it's essential to my server.
It has been interesting working on this project. However, my enthusiasm has been waning for the last few months and I find I just don't have the head-space or energy to continue. If someone else wishes to take it on, I'll transfer the accounts to them.
How do I use the Xenforo Custom User Fields, it is very Confusing
@winter4w
Use two-way group interactions.
Is it possible so if someone buys a donor rank it will rank them up on the forums such as this order?
BuyCraft
> Server Rank> Forum RankAlright, it looks like I can solve my conundrum with a custom script for my donations application on the web side.
Any chance for you to look at the hierarchy option I suggested? :)
I'm having problems trying to think about how to handle VIP promotion.
People get credit towards VIP time on my server based on how much they donate. After their time runs out, they go back to their previous group. On the forums, this is done automatically.
However, with the new Mojang EULA, I need to use a separate group for VIP in-game and also give them the permissions from their normal group, with the VIP group just being a "mask".
What's the best way to do this using CommunityBridge?
I cant make xenforo & CB to sync groups, can someone help.
ah nevermind, it doesnt work with zPermissions for me.

@Djakuta: It is important to note that CommunityBridge does not have a database of its own. It reads and writes directly to the forum's database.
I am really confuse about the Database. In the config file I understand that the Database it reffers to is my website/Forum Database. I don't see any error messages on my console. Please Help. I really wish there was a walkthrough step by step on how to configure this to MyBB forum.
Hi do you have plugins for mybb? Something that I could install from inside my forum. So it would automatically communicate with communitybridge. I have a server with multicraft and Game server Database on the same server. I Have a Forum website using MyBB with its own Database. I would Like to require players on my server to register on my forum. I already have a Mybb plugin that requires Forum members to have a minecraft account. I have no idea how to go about displaying the communitybridge information on my Forum. I can do a little editing of a php or css and html. But I am no coder. Any Help is greatly appreciated.
I put up an issue about my hierarchy request. Friendly poke about the money transfer thing too. ;)
@Feaelin
Minotar works for pulling avatars, you don't need to have CommunityBridge do it. :)
@janjanjan11111: Not sure what it would mean to "show a gravatar". Gravatars are pulled from the Gravatar site by forum applications. If you mean "show an avatar" as in "show the minecraft player's skin as the web application's avatar" that feature has been requested but has not be implemented yet.
You'll need to determine how Buddypress stores its group information and custom profile fields so that you can configure CommunityBridge accordingly.
How do you show gravatar on mysql and buddypress groups and tracking?
@janjanjan11111
This plugin only write informations directly on mysql tables and databases, configurable on config.yml. You only need to make a way to show this info on you site... Here, on documentation, the owner only show examples, but can be used in any plataform!
Why does this plugin not support wordpress gravatars, bbpress posts, buddypress groups and tracking?
@Feaelin
No problens, i solved all problens. When my players registers on server, automatcly creates a profile like this on website(same database) e share same password with authme. If you wat to add my server on your list, i maded a great profile page on my site with your plugin, and some php codes to add McMMo, Marry stats, and Clan infos =D

Here your plugin is giving me money, online stas, xps and groups ;)
Congrats for your plugin!
Would it be possible for you to add something like preferential hierarchy?
IE, if someone is a higher rank in-game than they are on the forums, CB prefers their in-game rank and allows them to keep it, but if they rank up on the forums later, they still get promoted in-game?
