Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

Artie maybe there should be a wing recruitment tab in the discussions section so we don't have these issues of name calling and spamming .

ArtieHmmm... how many users will be using it?


Hi Artie,

Probably only DRY411S as he has indicated it would be his private tool but if he releases it to be used with TradeDangerous then a handful of users would take it up. The vast majority wouldn't bother with manually updating prices even when an API tool fails....

Hello, yes, I know your tool (and my apologies that I missed your post before as I forgot to change the page before writing a reply).

Thank you for answers, in that case the TD-Edit is whitelisted. Until it will be run just by limited number of users, station price dump will be always complete with proper timestamps (it also mean it won't send complete dump of outdated prices with one new price, as in v2 scheme there is just one timestamp for the whole dump), it will be kept whitelisted.

Lase MoorayHi Artie. I was just looking for some kit in the outfitting and one of the suggestions was a permit only system. I have the permit but it got me thinking, could Inara record which permits you have (obviously the CMDR would need to tell it which ones they have!), then on screens where a system needs a permit have the permit text either green or red depending on if you have it or not?

Yep, it's something I have on ToDo for ages. As it is not so urgent feature, I am still postponing it in favor of more useful stuff. But definitely on the list.

ZATZAiHey Artie, so the E Market Connector app has a neat newish feature where it sends Netlogs to EDSM automatically. Thus EDSM can track where you are with every jump (No need to dock at a station). Kinda cool for those of us on the Distant Worlds expedition, you can see what it looks like for me here...

What I'm wondering is if it would be possible for Inara to do something similar, so that the companion app can submit netlogs to Inara as well so we can automatically track our progress here on Inara as well. It also seems that the companion app can now track our Balance, Loan, and rank status etc. Would be cool if somehow that could all be submitted to Inara...

Maybe, probably yes, but not promising anything yet (as it will be also depending on Anthor). I will take a closer look on it when I will make an API for Inara.

FrankfortArtie maybe there should be a wing recruitment tab in the discussions section so we don't have these issues of name calling and spamming .

Rather not, it will become very fast just a spam thread where will be the same recruitment text rotating over and over. I will keep that (wing promotion, etc.) for planned Bulletin board.

Thank you Artie. And thank you maddavo for going into bat to support me.

@Artie, this really will only be used by exception by me when the API fails. You'll see that it's only posted to EDDN 5 times so far. 3 of those were tests using the test schema.

I have no plans to release the tool to the TradeDAngerous community. For one, it would mean that I had to learn Python!

There is an open bug report with Frontier to ask them to find why some stations don't get trade data from the API, and I truly hope that one day soon they will fix that problem, and I can retire my program.

And yes, I could just 'impersonate' EDMC or another program when I send my message to EDDN, but that would be deceitful, and I wanted to be open about what I was doing so that people who run sites like this could understand the risks of accepting it, and their loss if they did not.

I think the Wing section is more than enough for that already. You see all groups listed with it's main aligment there and can search for one which fits your playstyle: Allegiance, Power, "Flying in" etc. Then you can click the group and see their portfolio in detail. It's a nice and easy way to promote groups already and moreover it provides a fair way for everyone to get attention for their group.

You are probably right .Iam just fed up with all the name calling on the forums.

That's why I had my Frontier forum account remover. to many arguments and name calling,

I got the feeling that [code] and [quote] tags are somewhat bugged. Whereas [code] tags just change font and don't show raw code in a box as intended, the [quote] tags show raw code: [img] tags are broken in quotes for example (but I kinda like that, because quoting a whole post with big images clutter things up easily)

Ok here is something I have wanted for a long time, not critical but it sure would be nice. Right now in Inara we can name our ships, which is great and I love how it show sup on our signatures. But at the moment I don't give my ships name, I give them roles. So Commuter, Bounty Hunter, stuff like that. It makes it easier to keep track what is what, but I would like to actually name the ship (Since it shows in our signature if nothing else). So would it be possible to have a second field for a short description? Like a second name field essentially, but call it ROLE or something? Not a drop down list, just like what we have for NAME now but a second field.

do you know of the description field when you edit your ship? imho it fits the role you describe, doesn't it?

Could anyone please send me contact details for some of the sites makers?

Thanks!

Quotes and codes seems to be working as intended, the font for code tag is changed to fixed width variant, but there is no specific background set (I expect there won't be too much coding examples posted and it may be handy for someone "simulating" something like terminal output). It shouldn't change anything to raw code, it's just visual output formatting.

Images are not displaying in quotes are really a bug, but as it is rather an advantage I wasn't solving it yet.

As AreZee mentioned, Ship description field is intended for such kind of remarks, ship purpose description, etc. So I think you can utilize this field for it.

uhm. maybe it's a misunderstanding on my end then, but afaik the code-tag should disable all tags within it's boundaries, am I wrong?

currently it looks like this:

text

but shouldn't it look similar to this:
[i][color=#999999]text[/ color][/ i]


I cheated with broken end-tags and the quote-tag (added a blank space). Isn't that the actual usage of code-tags, making the content ignore tags? Is it a browser problem? I'm using chrome (Version 47.0.2526.111 m)
