Habbox.com: User System Features Ideas Thread

[Tomm]

There are a number of methods that would allow SSO between HxF and the site that would not involve any additional security implications as all the authentication would be still provided by HxF. You could either come up with your own system or use existing standards. Could be really quite simple as well, just off the top of my head something like this could work:

- Habbox.com redirects to HxF.
- User is either logged in on HxF or is prompted to login
- HxF generates a message containing username and other relevent details along with a timestamp
- HxF generated a HMAC of the message using a private key
- HxF returns the user with the message + signature to Habbox.com
- Habbox.com checks timestamp is within a certain time and validates the signature of the message using the private key

You could add additional security by including the IP + User agent of whoever successfully completed the authentication on HxF with the message.

- Maybe some sort of points system. So if you win something at an event or on HxL you can also have the option of getting points or something like that. Then you collect points and eventually you will get enough to obtain things like coloured usernames on Habbox (not the forum).
.

I thought I was the one to come up with this great idea first!

However, I agree that it should be implemented!

Pretty sure that's what the option of getting rep for winning is

Also I would be against linking Hx accounts with HxF accounts, I know we're generally pretty safe but the main site is compromised more than the forum to my memory and I think it'd be better to have problems with a few site accounts that can't really do a lot than coming up 60k forum account with which one could cause some very public problems

I said to Matt as soon as I read the post "I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS WHAT IS THIS!"

@FlyingJesus; I mean it as like an extra option; furni, rep and points on hx?! Could just be me thinking about "woo" ideas but failing.

You can avoid the risk of forum accounts getting compromised if you use a system like I outlined above. Basically all it does is send people to HxF and than the forum replies with:

This person is the user: Whatever

- Signed HxF

and the site can verify it was actually signed by the forum. The site would never get any access to any login details or any information that is not sent in the message from the forum. They could compromise the site all the like and they won't get access to login details.

Pretty sure that's what the option of getting rep for winning is

Habbox Marketplace (what ever happened to that, it was meant to be in V6 haha, david did start working on it cos he showed it to me half done)

Basically just free listing of furni you have for sale, or a wanted section for furni they want. Maybe make it a little like eBay where people bid? i know you could say that people may just bid like 100C for something silly and then not pay, but you could have a moderated feedback system so that if people do that they get negative feedback and if their feedback score goes under a certain percentage they can no longer bid for so long or something. And if someone drops out of a buy the seller could offer a second chance offer.

Hmmm i dunno how to work it really, alot of things could go wrong with it but i think it would be a nice idea to add.


Maybe you could add some kind of currency thing. Like users can get Habbox credits through winning events on Habbo (or even playing games on Habbox (this would mean making Habbox Games )) I have no idea what you could use the credits for but i'm sure you could think of something.


You could have like a 'Whats on your mind' box or something, basically a bit like a status update or a minature twitter feed where people can write what they are thinking and random ones should up on the site. Like '-Danube- says: I like this new furni' and it would should up on the main page on a widget somewhere and people can the write a comment to start a little discussion. Again this would need moderation too. I don't think anything too twitter of facebook based should be added to the site but it would be nice for people to write there own things to start some discussion on there.

Hmmmmm out of ideas.

needs better resources, graphics department can help with that i reckon.
