gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard

[Fallback]

I think I figured it out. If you change your setting it waits until someone else adds theirs then it removes or edits yours. So basically if you update your profie gamertag the update to the main list seems to be triggered when someone new is added.

[alfieuk]

I have the XBL leaderboard installed on my site, but tonight for some reason it has stopped updating and has also deleted 400 members information, have you any ideas as to why it has done this ?

Its also not updated since Thursday at 19.12 pm and when try run it myself is says updated 0 deleted 0 etc etc....Any help

I have tried disabling it and installing again but its no good it still wont do anything ?

These are the reports :

6944 gXboxLive Update 19:21, 2nd Aug 2007 Updated Accounts: 0. Deleted Entries: 0. Process Time: 11,272s. Total Queries: 9.
6943 gXboxLive Update 19:12, 2nd Aug 2007 Updated Accounts: 546. Deleted Entries: 1795. Process Time: 4,322s. Total Queries: 3082.
6942 gXboxLive Update 19:00, 2nd Aug 2007 Updated Accounts: 849. Deleted Entries: 0. Process Time: 529s. Total Queries: 4747.

Now as you can see it did it ok on number 6942 took 5.29 seconds
6943 only updated 546 and deleted 1795
6944 updated 0 deleted 0 but took 11.272 seconds

Just to let you know i have sorted this problem.

[JGM007]

I would rather keep the IM style entry because I have it in the post bit along with wii code and Xfire profile and the other IM goodies, also it just looks cleaner in the user options.
How does the query draw the value from the field? If it is a single query that fetches the player's value it seems like it would not be a big deal to point it at something else.
In gxboxlive.php I see this part of the code:

if (is_numeric($vbulletin->options['gxbl_user_field']) && $vbulletin->options['gxbl_user_field'] != '0')
{
$gxbl_user_field = "field" . $vbulletin->options['gxbl_user_field'];
} else {
$gxbl_user_field = $vbulletin->options['gxbl_user_field'];
}

Is this the only point where the system looks for the value of the field? if it is could I in theory change it so it is not looking for a numeric value and change the value to look in a field with a name? such as

if ($bbuserinfo[xbox] != '0')
{
$gxbl_user_field = $bbuserinfo[xbox]
}

$bbuserinfo[xbox] is the name of the field that already exists in the user options.


Unfortunately it is a bit more involved than replacing the variable, the cron job would need the queries re-written for one as well as some other checks in place that expect an id.

Another solution would be to use a query to move every body's IM style entries to a profile field and then remove the IM style mod.

[Peench]

Just to let you know i have sorted this problem.

Thanks for the help :rolleyes:

I am currently running into the same issue you had also. Would you mind sharing your fix? I've tried a few things, but none have worked.

Thanks.

Where it says add (*GamerTAG*) to your friends list or send this user a message, is it possible to replace it with a small image?, the text looks really ugly.

[jribz]

I tried searching for an answer to this, I really did, but I cant seem to find it.

Is there a way to use images for the send messages and add to friends list feature? Also, the images for the reputation are not showing up for me when I set it to the folder option, they come up from Xbox.com but they don't match my site at all. I just have reputation:20, etc.

Thanks.

[Greenskull]

Hey man! I really need this mod but I set it up and it's just blank. I see the page and everything but there are no gamertags in it. The field is correct. What's wrong?! Thanks.

PS: Will it make a difference if I use the gamertag field from the postbit?

Make sure that you upload the images to your specific styles misc directory. You are probably using Firefox which is not showing you that there is a broken image and just showing the alt text.

Have you waited for the cron to run? I am not sure what you mean by gamertag field from the postbit.

[jribz]

Thanks Gryphon, I was using Firefox and that was the issue with the add to friends list and send message, but I still don't see any images for reputation even though they are in the folder. Any ideas?

Hmm, I am not sure. It shouldn't be any different than the add friends images. If you uploaded the misc images, they should include the stars for the reputation.

[JVCode]

Thanks Gryphon, it seemed that i had the gxboxlive images folder in my default styles folder! hehe, all fixed now and looking sweeter than ever, thanks alot for your help!

[Matty.B]

Wow.. Great Mod! Works Almost Perfectly.. Just getting a little overlap with the Gamertag and the Gamertag Image.. But i'll deal with it (it's probably the theme)

[khaales]

hi,
tnax a lot for youruseful mod
but I have a problem. I installed it completely and make a field for Xboxlive Tag, but when I try to test and I enter my tag into my userCP the table is empty and nothin show in it...?
what is the prob. help please

[Gryphon]

I assume you waited for the cron to run. This question has been asked several times before. If it is installed correctly it will work, otherwise I can't make guesses as to what you have or haven't done or how your server is setup.

[Job4Suprmn]

Hey, love the hack. But every time the cron runs, it deletes some people and adds others. Any idea why? There should be 9 people (so far) but it's only showing 5. But sometimes it will run and show all 9, or run and only show 4. Seems completely random.

[powerbook]

I see MOH image not showing on leaderboard... Any idea how we can fix that?

Thanks..

[Gryphon]

Hmm, it is showing ok for me. Was it just a temporary Xbox.com glitch? The images are served by that site.

[Phalynx]

I have now around 1600 Users that have entered their Xbox ID and the CRON Job takes around 1 minute to finish. What I'm doing wrong?
This one I get after running cron manually:

Warning: Unable to fetch URL:http://gamercard.xbox.com/mailman_B.card in \includes\cron\miner.gxboxlive.php on line 95


Is there no fallback if a user put a wrong ID?

[Gryphon]

It has to request and scan 1600 gamer cards, it takes a while, there is nothing you can do about how long it takes. I have some ideas for breaking up the process, I just haven't had time to work on it.

Regarding the error, it currently does not do anything about nonexistent cards. Does it stop or continue on with the other cards?

[Phalynx]

It stops with an 60 seconds timeout. It's always this card.

[Gryphon]

For now, you will have to edit that users profile and remove the underscore. I will add something to check for this to my todo list.

You could add regex to the profilefield to only allow an alphanumeric entry. I don't believe you can use anything other than letters, numbers and spaces.

[Phalynx]

Still it needs too much time:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in *\includes\class_rss_poster.php on line 127

[Gryphon]

Hmm, that might be a limitation of your server settings, I have seen leaderboards with more working ok. I will have to work on optimizing the cron. I am not sure what to suggest until then.

[Phalynx]

Sure, I could extend the limit up to 120 minutes, but that's not the point. While the cron is running the board is busy for the user. Currently I disabled the cron, waiting for a fix from you. A solution would be a PHP file that can be executed without vBulletin via real cron.

[tandalier]

is it possible to rewrite the cron-job, so it doesn't read it from the field?

on my site users save their gamer-tags in an own row in the user-sheet, so I don't need the extra-field like you use it. any chance to get it working when it read out the data from the user-datasheet?

[tandalier]

so I solved the probleme by myself. Rewrote the whole cronjob and now it works perfectly....

[msaunder1972]

Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful Mod. Installed and working fine first time.

Top job fella

[oezer]

hey guys... amazin mod.. really.. i hope someone make a similiar gamertag for the new ps3 network :D

[pillarfan1]

Hey, I installed this but I can't get it to work.

First when I used the dropdown menu to add my username it said "invalid birthday" , so I went in my profile and entered my birthday and also my gamertag in the profile. When i visit the page now, the drop down add username box is gone, and it is blank. I have ran the cron twice and it doesnt return any errors at all.

[pillarfan1]

hmm well nm. i just checked again and it's listed.. that's weird

[ForumDrop]

Does not seem like I can get the menubar to work, I can not find the field either. Any advice would be great!
http://www.myxss.com/forum/gxboxlive.php

PS also broke my navbar.

[Gryphon]

The Xbox.com site has shut down the gamercards tags and other features of it's site because of the heavy load the site is getting due to the release of Halo 3 so this mod will not work properly until those features come back online.

The menu bar and quicklaunch options will work best with the default style, I am unsure how they will react with custom skins. If you can't get them to work, you will have to manually insert a link to the leaderboard where you want it in your specific style.

[ScottRowan]

Hi,

Ive installed this and it seems to be fine, but ive put in my Gamertag and when to the gXboxLive page and nothing shows.

Any idea if ive missed anything?

[Gryphon]

Did you wait for the scheduled task to run?

[ScottRowan]

How do I do that m8?

I uploaded the files, installed the product, made the field, fixed the settings, and added my tag.

What have I missed?

[Gryphon]

It only gathers the tags every 10 minutes, so you had to wait before it showed up on your leaderboard which it appears it has.

[ScottRowan]

Ahhh thanks its working perfect now just checked :)

[Gotmian]

Great script. Would have been even better if we could somehow use the stats from the people on it on another place...

For example the 5 top games...

If anyone can do it, either with php, or with another way, that will enable embing the result anywhere, please do so... It would be really great to have this option....

[HellBoy]

Brilliant application! I would love some more statistics and information, though.
Gryphon, what are your future plans for further development of the applications, if any?

[Gryphon]

Not too many plans at the moment. Clean up some minor bugs and display issues, optimize the way the information is fetched from xbox.com, make some data available on forum home, postbit etc., fix exclusion of banned users, wedging all of this in between 1000 other half finished projects ;)

[doogie1775]

You can change the name of the link in the navbar with phrases, search for gxboxlive_vbnav.

I do have a couple of questions:


1. Regarding your statment above - I did a search in templates and found the following

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="gxboxlive.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[gxboxlive_vbnav]</a></td>

However, when I change gxboxlive to something like leaderboard, the link gxboxlive drops off my navbar and never updates to leaderboard. I am a n00b, so please bear with me!

[Gryphon]

1. You searched templates, you need to search phrases instead.

2. This is a known issue with the style, I will have to make some changes to fix this.

It doesn't seem to matter what page I'm accessing when it happens. Is there any chance there's a fix that I missed? :(

[Gryphon]

Not sure what you mean, you should only see that if you run the scheduled update, you should not see it anywhere else.

[Wobbly Goblin]

Not sure what you mean, you should only see that if you run the scheduled update, you should not see it anywhere else.

Scheduled update? It shows up all the time. For example, when the "who's online page" auto refreshes. Do you have any idea why or what can be done to fix it? :confused:

[Gryphon]

I have no idea, I have never seen or heard of such a problem. I can not reproduce that.

[doogie1775]

Hey Gryphon - thanks again for the great mod! Are you still going to work on correcting the issue with fixed stles (gamer pic covering a portion of the gamertags)? Thanks in advance.

[Wobbly Goblin]

Made a tweak to the cron file, may solve this issue.

[Canis Firebrand]

Shoot. Do you have the gxboxlive.php, miner.gxboxlive.php for your 1.34 version? I didn't realize until I uploaded the new versions that the latest release wasn't compatible with vB 3.64. Or will those two files not cause an issue if I have the 1.34 product installed?

[Gryphon]

I think the only issue may be the copyright line may be offset since I added a column.

It is compatible with any 3.6 version, however the navbar links are only automatically added in version 3.6.6 and up assuming you have updated templates to include the $template_hook variables.

If you are using a version prior to 3.6.6 you can edit the navbar template and manually add a link the leaderboard.

[Canis Firebrand]

When I tried to import the product with the overwrite option, it gave me a warning message stating "The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.6.4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.6.7)"

The 1.34 version does what I need it to do, but I guess unless I update vB I may not be able to keep this product installed to the most recent version?

I did the manual navbar edit for the earlier version of this product as I wanted it in a different area of the navbar.

[Gryphon]

Ah, forgot about that. I removed the dependency check.

[Canis Firebrand]

:)

Thanks. That allowed me to import the new version.

Awesome mod for gaming related sites.

I've seen this a couple of times, but currently the icon is showing on at least my 3 example sites listed above. It is not limited to the leaderboard as the icon goes missing from the gamercards as well. Could be you are randomly accessing a xbox.com webserver which doesn't have the icon mirrored.

Hi there. I have had this installed for some time now, and it is a great feature, and I have had no issues with it, but a few months back, I was getting some members claiming it was not updating, after checking the system, it has not been up dating now for 6 weeks or so.

When I run the cron, I get the following error messages for every single member:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to gamercard.xbox.com:80 (Network is unreachable) in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 95

VGPelega I am not positive what the problem could be, my first guess would be that for some reason you server can no longer resolve the xbox.com domain. If you have ssh access, attempt to ping xbox.com or verify that you can resolve the domain ok.

How do you remove a user's gamertag from the list?

[liquidrage]

Very nice. I've been using this for months (I know sue me, I forgot to mark it as installed until today when I came to check for updates, which also went with no problem).

One thing I've noticed in your 3 example sites that I'm doing different is I have this as a subforum so it can be found in the forum menu as well.

http://www.flyersphans.com/forums/

If you look there, we have a video game forum at the bottom, and you can see the subforum for the leaderboard. When you create a forum, there's an option to get it's content from a redirect. And then you just put in the php page for the XBL leaderboard and that's all there is to it.

[liquidrage]

I did notice one issues. Perhaps it was always there. The pop-up "add your gamertag" doesn't work. If they add it from the Edit Profile page, no problem.

Adding it from leaderboard itself it just brings you to the UserCP page, but nothing actually gets saved.

[R_E_A_P]

Yeha i have noticed that ^^

[Gryphon]

Hmm, I just double checked that on my three example boards and the popup is working ok. It does take you to the user cp, but it should be adding the gamertag to your profile.

EDIT: i ran the gXboxLive Update cron manually but it took too many times and at the end, only white page appeared.

Well, now it looks like Microsoft wants you to login to see anyones gamertags. I can still see all of our members on the leaderboard, you just can't hover over their icon and see their gamertag.

Not sure if there's a way to code around that...I highly doubt it.

Sucks, this mod is flipping awesome.

[Snookieboy]

have the same issue as those above, worked perfectly for ages, now suddenly only one Gamertag is shown :(

[Oblivion Knight]

Microsoft have probably limited some of the off-site features due to it's recent server problems.

[RollaJedi]

how about for a future add-on:
show latest achievements earned or a listing of all achievements and who has them. Really, anything to do with achievements would make me pee my britchees!

[MotMann]

Yes, a nice idea. And a better listings about the most played Games. Rankingsystem ;)

FYI...as was just mentioned, the recent XBL server problems were the culprit here. Everything is back and working fine. w00t!

[Gryphon]

Yes, the xbox.com provided gamercards are publicly viewable and will stay that way, they are meant to be. The gamercard is where gXboxLive obtains the data so there are usually only two reasons why the leaderboards fail, the gamertags html changed so that pattern matching fails or the site is unreachable/down. Most the time it is the latter and you just have to wait out the site downtime.

I still hope to optimize this better so that the leaderboards aren't affected as much by xbox.com downtime.

Hey, great hack, been using it for a while. Recently though I've been bombarded with several emails a day, content of which is similar to below:

I have reinstalled the product which has not helped. Does anyone know why this may be happening?

[Gryphon]

See this (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html) regarding "MySQL server has gone away". It appears that you are losing your MySQL connection during the update process. How many gamertags are in your leaderboard?

[Kinneas]

16...which I believe is correct, it's only a small forum.

Would a timeout value be causing this then? Do these queries take longer than usual vb functions to execute?

[Gryphon]

It does take longer as it has to fetch xbox.com once for each gamertag and then make mysql query for each tag it finds. So the cron takes some time to run, the update process could really use some more optimization if I could just find the time to rewrite it.

As far as the error goes, I am afraid it is beyond what knowledge I have of the process.

[Kinneas]

I've recently downgraded to shared hosting so I don't have control over the MySQL settings etc. I'll see if they will increase the timeout value and see if that helps.

Thanks for your assistance.

Great to see a new version out!
The new features are great, noticed a little issue with the ranks, though. For rank 1 through 3 it's displayed like "Rank: 1 1st".

This is by far my favorite vBulletin mod (being the gamerscore +++++ that I am ;)) so I hope to see further developments on this in the future (especially a gamerscore progression graph generated for the top X players as well as for each user).

Keep up the great work, Gryphon :)

I just noticed when I checked out the examples listed in the main post here.
Looks great now, excellent update and it was a sweet breeze to update, even with my stupidity taken into concideration ;)

[BobbyBlackwolf]

Just installed the update. I have one suggestion:

When you mouse over the gamerscore, you have "Last Post: Today 3:30PM" or whatever. When I see this on a forum, I tend to think it's the last time that user posted a message on the forum - which didn't line up because some of those people on our leaderboard hadn't posted in a while. I later came to understand it meant the last time it was updated from Xbox Live. Perhaps changing the wording from "Last Post" to "Last Update" would alleviate that.

I'm sure I can edit it on my end either with the language or in the PHP file itself, but I thought it's something you should consider for whenever you make a later update.

EDIT: Actually, you used $vbphrase[last_post] for that section, so I just manually edited the style on my end. But perhaps make a new phrase for it in future versions...

Great update! The only problem I've run into is when I manually run the "gXboxLive Update" under Scheduled Task Manager, I get the following error:

The first 2 times I executed the task, it ran just fine, but all attempts going forward give me that error. Any thoughts?

[Gryphon]

Thank Bobby, I will keep that in mind. It was sort of an easter egg just to monitor whether or not the gamertags were updating ok. I will see about changing the phrase.

jgommel, I will see if I can fix the error. But the error is cause by an improper gamertag. Gamertags can not have underscores, gamertag "dpn_22" does not exist, but "dpn 22" does. I will see about putting in some more checks to ensure that users are entering a proper tag.

No problem - I love the plugin (it's the only one we have installed) - and I like the easter egg because we have some achievement whores who have actually gone "WHY HASN'T MY GAMERSCORE UPDATED I JUST PLAYED AVATAR" and then after we point and laugh at them we can tell them to just mouseover the gamerscore to see when we last pulled their info. I think it's a nice feature.

[Gryphon]

Hehe, thanks Bobby :D

jgommel, you can update the user profile field to contain the followin regex which help guide users to enter the proper gamertag format, edit see instructions for latest regex (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139958).

[Gryphon]

Bobby, it appears that you got ahold of v2.0.0, the gamercard popups are broken on your forumhome stats. Might want to update to v2.0.1

I also spaced out, I have a Last Updated phrase already lol, $vbphrase[gxbl_last_updated]

[jgommel]

Hehe, thanks Bobby :D

jgommel, you can update the user profile field to contain the followin regex which help guide users to enter the proper gamertag format, ^[A-Za-z0-9 ]+$

Alright, I copy/pasted ^[A-Za-z0-9 ]+$ into the Regular Expression field. I also opened the database and browsed vb_gxboxlive table to see if I could find the offending ID. I didn't see any ID's with underscores, nor did I see a gamertag of dpn_22. Is it possible that because the users XBL ID is invalid that it did did not get added to the table?

[jgommel]

Okay, I fixed it. I found the user and removed the underscore - all is well. I'll keep the regular expression listed to.

[TCE Killa]

Thanks this is great.

Nope, I was playing video poker (casino mod) and I'm the only one with access to the admin control panel. Someone may have been updating their own options, but I'm the only person that can delete a member.

[Gryphon]

Hmm, I will see if I can track that one down. There is a plugin which deletes cached gamertag data if the profile is updated or deleted, it must be being triggered by the casino mod but the gXLB functions aren't being loaded.

Is the casino mod hosted here on vb.org?

[Wobbly Goblin]

Yep --> Click here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=159151&highlight=casino). The error only happened once, haven't seen it since.

@sdsvtdriver, You can edit your config.php and add define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to disable the plugins. You can then uninstall and then remove the line from the config.

That is really odd. I am not quite sure what could cause that.

[sdsvtdriver]

it was permissions, i removed the post but you replied too quickly :)

it loads now, however i have appeared to lost my existing leaderboard. it only had a few people, so not a big deal, however I've added myself but it doesn't seem to be appearing.

If the user doesn't use the exact same capitalization as their XBL profile, it won't highlight them and scroll to them.

His XBL profile is really "phyrenet".

I upgraded this plugin to the latest version. I set the min post count to be 25 posts before they should show up in the list. I have people with 0 posts showing up.

At the moment it's showing 1 user on the leaderboard, and it's using his occupation field as a gamertag, and his occupation just so happens to be some random guy's gamertag! :P

I have my own GT entered (Saruya X360) as well as having edited a couple of my friends profiles to enter their GT's too, but it's still only showing the one user with the wrong GT applied to him.

I've tried changing the field ID just incase it was the same ID as the occupation field, but no dice so far.

[Gryphon]

Hi,

i would like to ask how to force update to the list and how to actually
make any modification on how often it updates automatically?

The total gamertags are spread out over the course of the day and they are each updated once a day. There isn't really any reason to update more often than that, however, I will probably add an option for users to refresh their own score if they want an immediate update due to a score discrepancy mid-day. But the scores are not that volatile that they should require updates any faster, and not to mention disrespectful of the xbox.com services.

If the user doesn't use the exact same capitalization as their XBL profile, it won't highlight them and scroll to them.

Thank you, I did not think of that. I will fix that for the next version.

It should not affect it. Double check your field ID setting, the update resets it due to changes I needed to make in the product.

There are some display issues with the post count option I need to fix. If the leaderboard updated with users with zero posts and then you later change it to people with 10 posts, people with less than 10 posts wont be pruned for a couple of days. There are some other problems with it as well, it is kind of a messy spider web of permissions I need to sort out some more.

It currently doesn't filter any usergoups accept for banned (I think if even that works right). I will have to work on more usergroup options as well.

There is no quick fix. They should not be disappearing, one user is the same as another when updating the gamertags, so I am unsure why this would be happening. I will make sure to double check the update process. It is possible that you may be catching a batch of users mid update. The next version won't use a random selection when updating to help narrow down any glitches.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what happened. I let the cron run with it set to zero posts. I then change it to 25 posts. If it takes a couple days, it isn't a huge issue.

If you do make it so that you can only have certain usergroups show up, that would indeed be sweet. I appreciate the awesome job on this as it stands. :)

This will only fix the page nav problem you having at the moment. All php files should be updated and the product overwrite. Also after inspecting your source, there is a conflict between your Live Help Messenger javascript code included on the page and overLIB javascript included with gXboxLive. That appears to be what is causing the gamercard popups not to occur.

[jack bro]

how can i make it update faster? Got new gamerscore like 11 hours ago its updated on gamercard that pops up when you hover over avater but on leaderboard

[Gryphon]

The gamercards update once per day. There are hundreds of boards using the mod each with hundreds or thousands of players, increasing daily, all causing load on xbox.com if updated too quickly.

I will add an option for users to update their own gamercard if they notice a discrepancy and can't wait one day. But for the most part, gamerscores are not that often changed and cause very unneeded load on xbox.com to be checking gamercards that have no changes more than once a day.

@Gersfan, there are really only two reasons it would not be updating, it is not setup properly or your server can not resolve the xbox.com domain. Double check your settings, mainly the field id number.

[Gersfan]

Hi Gryphon, Thanks for your reply,

It must not be setup correctly as I've waited all weekend. I've checked the settings and they look fine to me.

EDIT, Infact sorry, The field id was set to 0 as default, It's now set to 7 so I'll wait till tomorrow and hopefully it's updated.

Thanks

Excellent mod, very happy with it! The Leaderboard option isn't appearing in my navbar though, despite the option being set to Yes. What could the problem possibly be?

It parses the navbar template for the template hooks, if you have outdated/custom templates you probably don't have them so you will have to manually edit the template and add a link where you want it.

[Dark Fury]

Okay cheers buddy... I'll have a look into it, bit of a noob myself but hopefully i'll sort it.

Thanks again, here's my site. www.49CMD.com/forums


EDIT: Okay i assume its the 'navbar' template, i'm not touching that in case i screw it over!

[Gryphon]

Hmm, that is a pretty basic template, I am suprised the link isn't being added. The templates can be reverted if you make changes you don't like.

You can find the faq.php link and copy it to a new line below it and change faq.php on the new line to gxboxlive.php

Again if you screw it up, you can revert the template.

[HellBoy]

After running 2.0.2 for a couple of days, it's seems like the issue with gamertags disappearing is a thing of the past. Great job!

I did it and its all good now, thanks for the help. :)

I get a fatal error everytime I upload it

Yeah, I have some plugins that delete the user from the leaderboard if their gamertag is changed/deleted or user is deleted. I just disabled those plugins in 2.0.2. The next version has this fixed, I found the reason people were being deleted randomly.

Looks like the files you uploaded did not go to the correct location. It is not loading the functions_gxboxlive.php file which should be located in your includes folder. Make sure to upload all the files to the correct location, and then install the product, this should be common practice for all mods you use.

I have this problem - i had to change the tags of 2 users and they don't appear on the leaderboard at all. What can i do?

[Gryphon]

Wait for the cron to process them.

[Xxawolxx]

Awesome Mod!! but i get an error i only get it when the cron runs, and it doesn't update the accounts. I know it has to do with curl, but that is all i know could somebody help me? :D

thanks i fixed it, amazing modification.

[RollaJedi]

Hey Gryphon, do you have any plans to do additional things with your mod, like perhaps 'latest achievement earned' or perhaps even a sepearte achievement based mod? Maybe include things like a list of achievements and who on the list has them. Just ideas. I'm an achievement +++++. :D

That data is not readily available to the public. However, I am considering hosting a service to provide that data for this mod, but that is still quite a ways off.

[Stryker412]

Anyway to move the position of the leaderboard link on the quick links menu?

[Gryphon]

Not by any available options. I can look into that possibility. If you want it placed elsewhere until then, you will have to manually edit the navbar template.

[Stryker412]

OK thanks, one last question. On my leaderboard it says Rank: 1 1st. Is something missing/wrong?

[Gryphon]

OK thanks, one last question. On my leaderboard it says Rank: 1 1st. Is something missing/wrong?

That is the alt tag for a missing image. Make sure to upload the images to your specific styles misc folder.

[Stryker412]

Hmm all the images are there (/forum/images/misc/gxboxlive/) but not showing up. Both the rep and rank icons.

[Canis Firebrand]

It looks like the images need to go in the styles/<stylename>/misc directory if you are using a style other then the default.

I found that out after I upgraded. I use a different style and the images did not show up. When I viewed the properties of the missing images, they were looking in /forum/images/styles/<stylename>/misc/gxboxlive/ directory.

[Gryphon]

Canis is correct, the reason being so that you can use different images for different styles.

[Stryker412]

Ah ok, that worked. Thanks guys.

[Viper007Bond]

Updated. Thanks!

[Gryphon]

Anyway to move the position of the leaderboard link on the quick links menu?

I just released an update that makes the position selectable for both the navbar and the quick links.

I got this error after the the upgrade. Product disable for the time being.

Can I make some small suggestions?

1) On the leaderboard can you center both the gamertag and username? All the rest are centered and those two look odd.
2) Can you make it so that the postbit insertion fits on just one line? On mine it looks like this:

[Gryphon]

@Queball update your field id number in the options.

@Stryker, 1) You can edit the template to make them centered, I will not be doing that as I find it difficult to read personally. 2) You can edit the phrase to shorten it to Xbox Leaderboard or something similar.

Where do I edit those?

[Gryphon]

Where do I edit those?

1) Edit the gxbl bit in the gXboxLive templates 2) Search the phrases for the gXboxLive title.

[kindi_boy]

thanks alot for the update testing now.

[kindi_boy]

got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function gxbl_has_access() in /home/*****/public_html/vb/global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 19

thanks for your time.

[kindi_boy]

it was a mistake on my side, i didnt upload the file to the includes folder.

[TCE Killa]

This new version/update doesn't work for me. Keeps giving me a vB error.

[Butcher]

just updated and it all seems to work fine except i keep getting sent DB error's. Which is strange as it does look too work fine.

*EDIT*

Sorry missed that you updated the mod again, so i've uploaded the php file and product again and all is fine, my bad :(

[TCE Killa]

^That is exactly what I get after upgrading.

[HellBoy]

Updated to 2.1.3, works just fine. :)

the fix for yours was already given in the post afterwards :)

just update your field id number

[Gryphon]

Thank you Butcher, that is correct.

[Deadly Assassin]

Ace update, thanks alot.

Lovin this Mod/Hack :up:

Just one thing, because i am using the postbit_legacy, i assume thats why the showthreads part doesn't work for me?

[face311]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function gxbl_has_access() in /usr/home/****/***/forum/global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 6

It should work fine as long at the hooks are in place within the template.

That commonly means that the functions file has not been updated or is missing. Double check that all files have been uploaded to the proper locations.

Thanks man it worked, but I don't see any difference with the upgraded one, looks exactly the same to me.

[harlita]

Do you think maybe you could add a quick readme stating the userfield will default to zero with the upgrade? I think it will save people time and concern. I found that to be the cause of the immediate database call fails that I experienced after updating with the latest version.

Quick readme addition to the zip would probably clear up confusion for newer users, too.

Just a painless suggestion. Good product. Updated again.

[fattony69]

Nope sorry, this is the exact error I get when updating.

I have this error as well and I can't access my admincp to fix it!

[doogie1775]

As always - great work!

One issue I am having though, is the reputation does not seem to be updating for some reason. Any idea why that may be? If you hover over the stars, it shows reputation: 10 and each person only shows 2 1/2 stars?

[Gryphon]

@harlita, there is a not about the field id change in the upgrade notice above. I also do not like to distribute readme's as they are too static and I can't make adjustments to them once they are out the door, not to mention another document to keep updated. The instructions above should get any new user through ok.

@fatony69, there shouldn't be anything that prevents you from accessing the admincp. However, in the event a plugin causes such an issue, you can add define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to your config.php to disable plugins while you troubleshoot the problem.

Actually upon reflection, there could be a problem with the script in this regard. I will double check this.

@doogie1775, Reputation 10 is about 2.5 stars. There is a max of 20 reputation, so 10 rep is half of 5 stars which is 2.5.

[doogie1775]

Yes, I am with ya there Gryphon, but what I am saying is "everyone has 2.5 stars" and I know that isn't the actual case. Most, if not all of us, have 5 star reps in XBL.

thanks for the prompt response :)

Thanks everything working . But one little issue on the leaderboard when u use firefox everything is ok , but when u use Internet explorer some pics have X why is that?
