Question2Answer, licences and CSRF tokens

Hello,

I’m packaging Question2Answer (Q2A) for ynh at GitHub - nils-van-zuijlen/question2answer_ynh: Question2Answer package for YunoHost and I have two questions about it:

  • First, what should I put for the license key in the manifest, the license for Q2A or for the package ?
  • Second, Q2A is mainly configured via its admin interface, but that interface is protected via CSRF, how can I use ynh_local_curl on it ?

The license of the upstream of Q2A

Ugh that’s a tricky question … There’s no magic trick, I guess ? Naively I think you would need to first do a GET request, parse the CSRF token somehow, then do your POST request where you also inject the CSRF token in an appropriate way …?

Thank you

Ok, I was hoping that something would have been done to facilitate that, I’ll try to come up with some grep, sed and curl to do the trick. There are no helpers for GET request, isn’t it?

Also, is it possible to get the email address for an user question in the manifest ?

Ah, for this one there is :smiley: :

ynh_user_get_info "$the_user" 'mail'

I don’t think so ? Or maybe ynh_local_curl ? But maybe it only does POST request … (Im not super-familiar with helper detail, I don’t do “real packaging” so often) … I guess you can just call “curl” manually :s

Thank you for your help, I think I got it working.

Where can I announce this new app is ready?

You can create a topic into the app announcement category Apps - YunoHost Forum

You should also run the linter on your app, to see if there are some errors.
