I’m aware that after_initialize allows us to have access to the loaded properties in SiteSetting but I’m struggling to update my register_middleware method. Since ruby isn’t my working language it’s more difficult for me to follow. So in lib/plugin/instance.rb I see this may be responsible for han…

The site settings you use are defined in ./config/site_settings.yml. The enabled_site_setting tells the /admin/plugins page which site setting controls “this plugin is turned on”. This is needed for multisite setups.

Hi guys, I’ve uploaded an experimental branch of my plugin in case anyone is able to see what the problem is. The issue is with register_middleware in plugin.rb. I can’t get access to the SiteSetting variable. If I do after_initialize { p SiteSetting.discourse_steam_login_api_key } I can see it. B…

@eviltrout , I’m having the same issue. I can’t get SiteSetting at a point where it contains the values. If I substitute the SiteSetting variable with a hard-coded string or to use ENV it works perfectly. Is there something @def and I need to do to get SiteSetting to be available here? More info: […

Okay, so it seems this may not be the best place to use SiteSetting and might be best to stick to ENV, as now it is capable of reading the SiteSetting, but because it is registered when Discourse starts, it doesn’t and potentially can’t, pick up on changes to the SiteSettings it refers to without st…

I haven’t had time to test the changes but from what you’re saying I’m going to assume it will be exactly the same situation for me. Are we implementing this the right way? There’s a lot of other authentication plugins in the mix. I’m wondering if we’re just doing it wrong…

Not 100% sure, but apart from implementing its own strategy, this plugin written by the Discourse Team is attempting to use Saleseforce SiteSettings in its register_middleware plugin.rb master # name: salesforce-auth # about: salesforce login support for Discourse # version: 0.…

Is there something about the use of a lambda that preserves the reference to the SiteSetting then(?) Example from facebook_authenticator.rb: class Auth::FacebookAuthenticator < Auth::Authenticator def register_middleware(omniauth) omniauth.provider :facebook, :setup => …

Yeah, actually that does remedy the problem. It does require you to use OAuth2 though (or so it seems), Using OAuth (version 1) doesn’t seem to honor setting options that way. At least I seem to have mine working now properly (still doing some more testing).

Is your code some where I can look at?
