How do I create a Plugin Identifier?

shir

It's been a while since I created a plugin and now everything on the maxon site is broken sending me from broken link to broken link.

I just want to generate a plugin id for testing.

Anyone can help?

Hello @shir,

Thank you for reaching out to us. It should be self-explanatory that we cannot say much about 'the maxon site is broken sending me from broken link to broken link'. What is 'the' maxon site for you? And there are not countless broken links on our sites, that all sounds very hyperbolic.

The old site which also hosts the plugin IDs is still operational: https://plugincafe.maxon.net/, you can also access it as embedded content via https://developers.maxon.net/forum/pid/, but you will have to login with your old plugin cafe account in both cases or create a new one.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi Ferdinand thanks for replying.

The issue is the 2 links you have sent me do not work
the first link does not accept my login details, and when i register for a new account it says this: Login Unsuccessful
Invalid login credentials

the second link does the exact same thing.

therefore... both are broken, can someone just help me out?

Hey @shir,

as explained on the site in your screenshots, developers.maxon.net is currently only wrapping around plugincafe.maxon.net for plugin ID generation and storage. You will have to register and login with plugincafe.maxon.net in order to be able to generate plugin IDs. Once done, developers.maxon.net will wrap around the other site, using your existing access token.

I also tested it, the registration and login works just fine:

Hi Ferdinand, this simply does not work, I have registered on the first site and then entered the embedded site but it does not recognize my login details and does not give me a confirmation after creating one. please help me

Hey @shir,

the site is being actively used, and we also had a couple of registrations last month. So, it is probably you who is doing something wrong, most likely some kind of firewall. I have sent you a manual invite to the e-mail handle your developers.maxon.net account is bound to and also tested that you can still create a new account (you can).

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi @ferdinand could you please email it again?

ferdinand

That is the mail I used, given that you had problems before, I would say resending it will not make any difference. I also just created a new account myself this morning, and it worked fine. This is probably some mail spam filter or general firewall issue on your side.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

I see your edited/deleted posting, did you find the mail? When push comes to shove, I can also just give you a bunch of plugin IDs.

Maybe you can try Google Chrome browser. The auto-fill doesn't work well in Edge sometimes, even manually passing your info. I can not login old plugin cafe with Edge, but it can work with Chrome, @ferdinand reminds me that in the past, I think it is good to mention here.

Hi @ferdinand, yes i Just deleted the previous post which had my personal email in it after I found a solution.

For those following, I'm not quite sure what the problem was with my original email as I never received any emails in spam or anywhere and was unable to use that log in to generate an ID, but I used another email address to register and instantly was able to create an ID.

Problem solved, partially. Thanks Ferdinand

Hey @shir,

good to hear that you solved the issue. Maybe NodeBB has an issue with the specific (top level) domain your mail handle was under? I just checked the logs and this is the event for the second registration mail that has been sent out (I edited your mail handle for privacy reasons). I.e., this is the one I manually invoked. There is another event for your actual registration. As far as NodeBB is concerned, it seems to be convinced that it successfully sent these mails.

{
    "confirm_code": "dbcc0d6c-8646-4191-9975-badc1c7035f2",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "subject": "Welcome to PluginCafé",
    "template": "welcome",
    "timestamp": 1751883962965
}

NodeBB can be a bit buggy from time to time but that it fails to send a mail and then creates an event for successfully sending it, would be a bit odd. I will have an eye on this.

Cheers,
Ferdinand
