Xbox LIVE Avatars

[GamingFusion]

This mod does work with 3.7.x as well!


Demo: http://www.gamingfusion.org/commune/showthread.php?t=2 and look under the Hitokyri profile to see the avatar silhouette! (EDIT: My apologies but you have to be a registered user to view this demo. If you still wish to view the DEMO, you will need to register when prompted).

Step 1: Add a new Profile Field with the following options:

* Single-Line Text Box
* Title: Gamertag
* Description: Enter your Xbox Live Gamertag here.
* Max length of allowed user input: 15
* Field Length: 25
* Private Field: No
* Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
* Show on Members List: Your choice
* Which page displays this option? Edit Your Details


Remember the Field ID.

Step 2: Modify the Postbit_legacy in your template:

1. Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Postbit Templates ->
postbit_legacy

Find

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<div class="smallfont">
&nbsp;<br /><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</if>

After this add:

<if condition="$post[field#]"><center><img src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/$post[field#]/avatar-body.png" width="75" height="150">
</center></if>


Replace the $post[field#] with your field ID you used for your gamertag!

Step 3: Go to Edit Your Details to add your gamertag to your profile.

Step 4: You're done! Enjoy your avatars that will start appearing on November 19th with the launch of the New Xbox Experience!

FAQ

How do I know if the Avatar System is actually working? It's only showing a silhouette.

Answer: If you don't think it is working and want to make sure, temporarily edit your details and edit your gamertag to Major Nelson. If you see something now, you'll know it is working correctly and just waiting for you to get the New Xbox Experience on November 19th. Remember to change your gamertag back to yours and you'll be set! :)

Enjoy the MOD! :)

Looks nice, thanks!

Looks nice, thanks!

Glad you like it! I just deployed an update (it's small) but adds a Box around the avatar keeping it separate from your forum avatar.

It's completely optional and can be found here:

<if condition="$post[field5]"><fieldset><legend>Xbox LIVE Avatar</legend>
<div>
<center><img src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/$post[field5]/avatar-body.png" width="75" height="150">
</center>
</div>
</fieldset></if>
Reminder: change [field5] to your Field ID.

Making this a block in the profile might suit some forums better, but great idea!

I'm working on that now! Thanks for the question! :) I should have it up next Sunday! (December 30th) Check back then! :) I'm on vacation at the moment so I'm unable to actually work on this.

Take the mod that puts the gamercard in a profile block and edit the template to use the code for the avatar instead

[Mike21]

The Gamercard? Just search it.. they have different versions... but just search it here on vBulletin.org.. you'll find it no problem. Just I would give you an exact link.. but as there are many variations and different ones.. I'll leave that choice up to you.

[inparadise]

is it possible to have this in the member info area ?

Like, if the user don't have a avatar picture but have entered his gamer tag, it shows the avatar body in staid

There is a mod for this already that exists for 3.7.x but it works with 3.8.x just fine. Search Xbox LIVE avatar in the search box and you'll find it! =]

[Psychosiis2]

Is there any way that you can add this to the profile? In the Blocks on the right.. Like I have the MP3 Player and YouTube video I want to add it there along with my Friends and Albums..

[JVCode]

Will this mod be getting an update with v4? If not, could someone help me in getting this to work with v4?

[cyclobe]

It's extremely easy to get working and if your community listed in your signature is correct you got it working :)

Just for future references for those wondering -

Follow all the instructions listed in the main post. Only changes are as follows -

Modify the Postbit_legacy in your template:

1. Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Postbit Templates ->
postbit_legacy

Find

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
<a class="postuseravatar" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:raw post.username} is {vb:raw post.online} now.">
<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
</a>
</vb:if>


After that add

<vb:if condition="$post['field#']">
<center><img src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/{vb:raw post.field#}/avatar-body.png" width="75" height="150">
</center>
</vb:if>

Where field# is the field you put in for the GT. That's it.

My own personal edit for one of my clients is

<vb:if condition="$post['field5']">
<center><img src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/{vb:raw post.field5}/avatar-body.png">
</center>
<vb:else />


<a class="postuseravatar" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:raw post.username} is {vb:raw post.online} now.">
<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
</a>

</vb:if>

Which shows the 360 avatar first if they so have one otherwise show the forum avatar they selected (or uploaded)

[Zippeh XF]

Does this mod work woth 4.2.2?

[sbryan]
