Bug Fixes

Thanks for @codingdefined pointed out the possible issues in the previous post.

• What was the issue(s)?

  • In our previous implementation of Stephard (version 1.0), the approach was stateless (without database), therefore there is a possibility of abusing it with deleting old messages in discord and send it again in discord channel.
  • User of discord are unable to track their last post, which means they need to do it manually by scrolling back to their older messages.

• What was the solution?

  • In this version 2 update, I added a Database which is MongoDB. The database will store the discord ID, steem ID, and the last post datetime.
  • Since there is database implemented, user can track their last post datetime.

New Features

• What feature(s) did you add?
  • Prevent abuse of post-promo channel to the next level.
  • Some of the commands for registration.

• *reg <steem_name> to link discord account to steem username

• *update <steem_name> to update your steem username

• *last to check your last post datetime.

• How did you implement it/them?
  • This version 2 update, I added 2 bots instead of a single one.
    • stephard-2 is the watcher that will approve or reject a post.
    • stephard-2-reg is the registration bot, to link user's discord ID to their respective, user can check their last post datetime.

Details about stephard-2-reg

I implemented MongoDB into the bot.

This is how the schema looks like for User.

let userSchema = new Schema({
  name: { type: String, required: true },
  discordid: { type: String, required: true, unique: true },
  steemname: { type: String, required: true },
  lastpostdatetime: { type: Number }
});

The schema links user discord ID and steem user name. The lastpostdatetime is to keep track the time in UNIX, so that we can make sure everyone shared their link after 18 hours of the previous message.

The library (NPM Package) that I use:-

• discord.js - the official discord NPM package
• mongoose - the object modelling for MongoDB
