RoG's Xbox Live Avatar in Posts

[Shadawg]

Okay this is my first release. for postbit legacy

Screenshot at the bottom.....

Create a new profile field or use an existing one for xbox live gamertag.

First step, you may have already done this.

In Postbit.css find

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear:both;
}

and replace with

.postbitlegacy .after_content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
clear:none;
}

Second Step.

In postbit.css

find

.postbitlegacy .signature, .postbitlegacy .lastedited {

underneath that code you will find

margin-top: ?em;
replace that number with 17, so it will look like this.
margin-top: 17em;

Step Three

Now go to the postbit_legacy and find

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_start}

add after

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><img src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/{vb:raw post.fieldx}/avatar-body.png" align="right" width="150" height="300"/></vb:if>

Replace the x with xbox live profile field number.

Thats it

Hope you all enjoy it

[Shadawg]

I will help people out who are struggling with this.

Found a problem when a quote is being used, it goes over the avatar.

Fix for it is here.

Find the template called bbcode.css

Find

.bbcode_container div.bbcode_quote

add underneath it

width:80%;

if you have any bugs report them here, i will do my best to get them fixed

[TunerNetwork]

tagged, will see how others like it and then give it a whirl, good idea!

[betts02]

Having a problem with the members sigs

A line abopve the sigs runs in to the avatars

[Shadawg]

Okay, i'll check your site out.....

[Shadawg]

You need to find this in postbit.css

.postbitlegacy .signature, .postbitlegacy .lastedited {

there you will find

margin-top: ?em;

you need to replace whatever number you have before the "em;" and put 17

it will look like this...

margin-top: 17em;

this was stated in the first post....

[betts02]

I know it was stated mate and i tried to follow that, BUT

margin-top: ?em;

Was not like this, I can not remember exactly what it was but it was slightly different

The code i have is

.postbitlegacy .signature, .postbitlegacy .lastedited {
margin-top: 17em;
padding: 0 {vb:stylevar padding};

[Shadawg]

then that should work then, 17 makes the signature line underneath the avatar.....

If you like you could contact me on aim so i can take a closer look at your template...

[betts02]

I am currently on my old pc as my newer 1 is getting fixed, This pc is really XXXXXX

So it willnot install aim, i have msn at betts02@tiscali.co.uk or if you view the thread at>>>http://www.nextgenerationgamers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?1406-Congratulations-Gee&p=10557#post10557

And scroll to post number 11 you will see the lads sig with the line above it, Please forget the gamer card image rolling over as i am trying to fix that now, but you will see the line i mean

What i have is

.postbitlegacy .signature, .postbitlegacy .lastedited {
margin-top: 17em;
padding: 0 {vb:stylevar padding};

What i had was

.postbitlegacy .signature, .postbitlegacy .lastedited {
margin-top: 0;
padding: 0 {vb:stylevar padding};

This is for the default theme and the same for my style theme

[Shadawg]

thats strange it didnt have em after it, try replacing the 17em with just "17" there, if that does not work, try "17px"

[betts02]

thats strange it didnt have em after it, try replacing the 17em with just "17" there, if that does not work, try "17px"

Tried both of these and both do nothing

I am running v4.0.0, will this make a difference ? is the "em" changed in v4.0.1 ?

[Shadawg]

that could be it, templates are alot different between the versions...... i'll get you added on msn

[Shadawg]

Okay have fixed the problem, for 4.0.0 users only.

Find
.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: ?em;
}

Change the ? what ever number you may have to 17

Example

.postbitlegacy .postrow.has_after_content {
padding-bottom: 17em;
}

This is the first template mod I have ever done too my site. VB Suite 4.0.2 pl2
Very easy to follow just had to scroll thru the comments to find the bbcode.css fix and worked like a charm.
Perfect!!!!
Thank You....:up::up:

[XLCR GODFATHER]

I have an Idea for another version of this code to show other Gamer info in the postpost bit using some of the code changes you used here with variations. Is there any problem reusing some of what you have done here if I give you credit for the original Idea in my mod

[Shadawg]

No problem at all, go right ahead :)

[JasonReynolds]

I really really love your layout :D

[COL NIL SATIS]

does this work on 4.0.3??

[Shadawg]

Yes it should do, if not i will get a working code.....

[x626xblack]

If I may suggest. Instead of editing the CSS templates and having revert issues for upgrades use the Extra CSS template. No code to revert or change when upgrading or updating.

[EQmandingo]

EXCELENT!!! Honestly one of the simplest template mods to implement and I might add for a gaming community one of the most worthwhile addons. Please continue to concoct some more brews similar to this one.

Did anyone figure this out as I can change the width to 190 to accommodate the postbit legacy but the gamercard cuts off.

I need to try to make the postbit_legacy wider to accomodate this but am stuck


I finally figured this out. In postbit.css find;


.postbitlegacy .userinfo {
float:{vb:stylevar left};
position: relative;
width: {vb:math {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_userinfo_width}-{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2}};
padding: 2px {vb:stylevar padding} {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};
font-size: {vb:stylevar small_fontSize};
display:block;
background: {vb:stylevar postbit_userinfo_background};
clear:both;


Okay what you want to change is the width from this:

{vb:math {vb:stylevar postbitlegacy_userinfo_width}-{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2}}

to this:
205px;

Make sure you in postbit.css for step 1 & 2 then postbit_legacy for step 3. In postbit_legacy its about 40% the way down right after this. {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_start}

See it live @ XboxHounds (http://www.xboxhounds.com/showthread.php/376-Hounds-Gamer-Score-League-%28HGSL%29/page2?p=3791#post3791)

[N2L Fatality]

Yea the postbit_legacy i could find but in 4.0.6 i can find anything for step 1 and two?

[sumsar89]

I have installed this and I have to say out of all the mods available this is the one im happiest with :) well done MOTM

[philthyphillup]

Thanks for the awesome mod! Works great. Only thing I'd suggest, is to possibly add a feature to turn it on/off per user. Some might want their gamertag to be displayed, but not have the avatar in their post.

[betts02]

Updated a new theme with an upgrade from vb4.0.5 to the latest version and this is not working for me

[GamersChallenge]

sorry, this might be a stupid question but where is postbid.css?

[MadFriar]

Any ideas why this wouldn't be working for new members who have joined after the mod was implemented? For the life of me it doesn't make sense as it's a template hack and not something you turn on/off.

Have they added the Gamertag in there profile?

[GameOverViper]

Added it to my www.Xbox360Clans.net site and it works great.

[GameOverViper]

Any idea on why certain users Avatars are posing in different stances compared to everyone else? Example (http://xbox360clans.net/showthread.php?1097-Added-XBL-Avatar-to-Posts&p=4882&viewfull=1#post4882).

Hey Shadow, anyway of making the Quotes recognize the Avatar block and stop before they hit it? They're currently overlapping the Avatar in certain posts with long quotes.

[killerford]

Sorry if I'm reading things wrong or done something wrong or haven't put something in...

First thing I wanted to know is 'Replace the x with xbox live profile field number.' what's the profile field number and where do I find it?

Second thing that I wanted to ask is there another mod I needed to add to make this work?

The profile field number you can find by going to the User Profile Field Manager. Make sure you create an Xbox Live Gamertag profile field, following the directions in the first post.

And no, you do not need another mod to make this work.

[killerford]

So I've done that and still nothing happens..

[ptshooter619]

where is postbit.css?

[killerford]

where is postbit.css?

Go into your styles and template and search it on the theme you want.

[marccap]

do you know how to move the avatar from the right side of the posts to postbit say under your location, posts number etc

[Potleg]

im using vbulletin 4.1.12 and i see none of that code in postbit.css :(

[FTG LIQUID CL]

i have 4.1.12 and i can not find the code that needs to be edited any ideas why,marccap,your forums look great

[marccap]

All the codes should be where they are stated at the start of this thread. Try searching in "search templates" for the code or part of the code to find it.

[FTG LIQUID CL]

found it ,made the changes but the avatars are not showing up,i use profile field 5 for my xbox live gamer card,can i use this profile field for the avatar or do i need to make another profile field

Your doing something wrong then. I just added it to my xbox360clans.net site, example post (http://www.xbox360clans.net/showthread.php?153-Xbox-Clan-List-Clan-Names-Clan-Websites), after reading your post to try and help you. It works fine for me.

You don't need the other plugins/template edits/mods for this to work. You just need a Profile Field for the Xbox LIVE Gamertag, and the 3 red X's in this template edit to be that #.

[GamerPerfection]

Are you sure all the red X's are edited to reflect your profile field #?

[killerford]

Dam it, Thanks for the heads up guys.. I only changed the one x and there is two. Stupid me.

[GameOverViper]

[XGC Paravain]

I have VB 4.2.0 and I cant find this code

have to follow the code above, or can I simply place it after the gamercard code?

[XGC Paravain]

Ok I found the code and I followed every thing step by step changed the field number looked every thing over and I still don't see my avatar

[XGC Paravain]

I found out what I was doing wrong Awesome mod 5 stars

[killerford]

For some reason it's disappeared? How come?

[Harpo]

Worked. Its showing my avatar......

The only issue is there is a giant gap between my content and signature. Any fix for this? I included a screen capture in my attachment.

Help.

EDIT: Okay never mind I found the problem. Everything looks good now. I'll report back if any surprises show up.

[Gamelobby]

Works great, but i have an issue with the quote box.. see attached pic.

It was colored in & it blocked the avatar, but now i made the background clear so you can at least see the avatar. Is there a reason the quote box is extending beyond, & into the avatar image.?

Anyway to fix.?

[Gamelobby]

So that worked great (i should have looked at earlier posts), but now that i upgraded to 4.2 the quote box is still good, but it keeps all text at 80% width too all the way down the post, not just at the avatar.?

I like how it used to wrap around the image instead.
Can this be fixed easily.? It's not a huge deal, just curious.

Thanks

[Inspector G]

Mind If I ask a really Dumb question? No not that one...

I was wondering, this would be unique to each individual user correct?
Kinda would seem stupid if not...
So I was also wondering how the user would input their unique id and where?

Then once that was done, why not use it as their avatar instead of the AVATAR and move it out of their post area all together? or be able to choose it as a Signature?

Seems like it would be clean and efficient and not create any issues with posting.
If you have not done this WHY?

Now the really Dumb one.
Can you Teach me How to make a persons Avatar (prefer Signature) their XBOX live character?
I think it is pretty cool Just reading you guys are able to even do this stuff...
I am running VB 4.2 patch 3...

Also would wonder if it would work on VB5 the same way?
I do see the Live Avatar mod, but I still wonder about the Signature mod?

[Inspector G]

I knew it was a dumb question sorry about that...I found the mod for profile
Never Mind that one wont run on 4.2 p 3 it was 3.8

[Inspector G]

No reply's at all...
Still wonder if this will run on 4.2 I see in a post above someone is running it on 4

[marccap]

I have it installed on 4.2 and working

[Inspector G]

The next thing I would like to ask, since I see so many pages and then revisions...

Does anyone have the correct code to start off with and instructions or is the only way to get it too completely sift through the entire thread a post at a time?

I know that sounds lazy, not at all...

I just am not attempting to screw things up so I can then go all the through the thread post by post to fix it, when I could have just skipped the whole process with a couple lines of code, this is way over my head.

But I would like to be able to have this on my site working it looks awesome...

Thanks again for at least telling me it runs on 4.2...:)
Ok I am going for it...
I think I see some of the answers to a couple questions I had asked...

[Inspector G]

Is this Mod still working ( someone had told me X box changes the location for this link back often?)
and again short of going through 8 pages of individual post is there a complete code in a single line order?
I am on go just waiting for a response...
Thanks this looks awesome...

[FakeMessiah666]

Is there anyway to put the user's username rather than a profile field? My clan makes it so only people with valid XBL Gamertags can join, and it's kind of annoying typing your GT twice.

Is there a crack to make this work in the vBulletin 5 software?

I LOVE this feature, and used it in my vB4, but am looking to upgrade to vB5. I don't think I'll upgrade if I can't use this, though. That's how much I like it!

[Derwin]

So... it's been a full year since I posted my question.

Does ANYBODY know if there is a way we can use this in the vb5 software?

Anybody knowledgeable about this that could let me know?
