Thanks for the reply. I already had that setting changed but didn't realize I had to resave the servers for it to take effect. I opened up the servers and resaved them and they started working. However, I have a new issue I'm working on. I added several new games to my stand alone LGSL but can't add them in vbGamez because when I set it to Source instead of the custom name I get an error message about the feed not existing in the database (I forget the exact message at the moment). I added the games to the /packages/vbgamez/functions.php the same as I did in the /lgsl/lgsl_files/lgsl_protocol.php but there is no dropdown option in the admincp for my new games. After some searching I found this in the product-vbgamez.xml:
I added my new games in the appropriate location and reimported the product but still no change. Does anyone have any ideas how to add the games to the dropdown selection?


EDIT: I figured it out and just wanted to include it here in case anyone else has this issue. It's actually really simple. After you add the custom games to the files I listed above and reimport the product you will need to go to Settings > Options > vBGamEZ: Basic Settings > List available games. Select your new games and save, I got an error warning about the settings being incorrect (not sure what that is yet) but it worked. Also, don't forget to upload your new game icons.

Glad you figured it out!

I am trying to find another coder who has the experience to improve on this!

how do i fix the nav menus there overlapping

Without any other info it's kind of hard to help you... Like website link???

Theme or style you're using?

What menu's are you referring to (Screen Shot) pagelink??

Edit:
Ok I finally pulled out my test site and found your issue!

For now I do not have a fix and if anyone knows how to fix the menus under navbar please post the code here and I will modify the installer

Just for now just goto the plugins and disable "usercp_nav_complete" and maybe disable "mod_index_navigation" in the plugins list...

Just create a custom link under your Settings/Navigation Manager/ Link it to your vbgamez.php

I am sorry but this is all I can offer...

I actually came to the forums for advice to fix this but seeing as the only solution so far was to disable plugins and add a new tab I found another, quicker, way to do this. Please let me know if this will cause problems and keep in mind it's just a band-aid not a real fix. Go to Style Manager then CSS Templates and edit vbgamez.css then add:
If anyone comes up with a real fix please let us know. I may look into it some more myself if time permits.

EDIT: I just noticed that the navtab for Forum is marked as selected which is probably what's causing the entire issue with the duplicate sub links. I'm looking into a real fix but it looks like it may require a complete rewrite of the plugin creating the navtab and my VB coding experience is slightly above average but not great. The above CSS will hide the sublinks but not change the "selected" status of the Forum tab. If you need it to be inactive for style reasons the only way to do so is to use the original method. The "vBGamEz - tab" plugin should be all you need to disable.

thank you so much the css band aid did just fine for me.
also im using the default style im just working on redesigning it some

Hey thanks Bestrafung, whatever you find for a good fix I'll add it to the download file I am hosting! Little fixes are better than no fixes! Still wished some of the awesome developers on here would pick this up for us fix the issues and I will still keep it alive for everyone!

i would gladly hire a person to fix and fork this plugin, do anyone know a good coder who might be intrested?

I have already tried... Your going to have to make someone an offer not advertise about it! Just so you know last I checked the going rate for a re-right of something this big is going to run you in the thousands possibly more if your looking to pay someone... Reason being is there is no money in it for the coder or coders...

If you want this on other projects you can just download the stand alone LGSL http://www.greycube.com there is code generated where you can show server blocks on any website!

There really isn't much wrong with this plugin other then the Nav Bar issue...

Did you download the file I am hosting it is the final release of this product? The original creator dropped this out of time he needs for school or lack of interest.

This version of vBGamEz is good for 4.2.2 ??

I'm using it on my 4.2.2. Just look through a few issues some of us had to adjust the navbar issue.

I've just installed on my board and it shows my server offline and some warnings on the header

Is your website hosted on your game server??

Nope , isn't

Yeah you need to be on a hosting that allows those ports to be open otherwise it won't work. If you can install the lgsl feed on your game server it would work otherwise it's useless.

I can't change the adress where this plugin reads info about the server ?

I am saying the Web host you're on needs those game ports open so your website can retrieve the data from the query it runs whenever the scheduled task is performed to get your game server information.

So isn't any methods to fix this ?

Well by default vBGamez pointed the query script to their hosting so it always worked but since their website is gone the query is closed but you can am it to your own hosting but it has to be on your own dedicated server because 99% of website host blocks all those ports and will not open them for security reasons.

I have my own server dedicated , how cand i do ?

Download the standaone version of LGSL http://www.greycube.com/site/download.php?view.56

You need a database and php running like Xampp or Wamp for instance...


Goto vbulletin Settings: vBGamEz: Optimization (Last Input Change the Default to your own)
Point your vBGameZ http://server-ip/lgsl/lgsl_files/lgsl_feed.php

It's still more effective hosting your site and queries on the same machine.

Install the LGSL on my dedicated server or in the domain ?

Your dedicated server and point your vBgameZ to the link I described above using your Dedicated server IP Address

We are using this mod on a competitive gaming site and semi-accurate player counts are extremely important for us. I've noticed that the server blocks do not update/refresh unless we manually open the server page and click the "Update" button. I've checked the script settings and the cache/update time is set to 1. Is there any way to make certain servers update on a certain interval. For example, can a cron be setup to update server ID 1,5,10,15 every x minutes?

I just need to know if there's an easy way to tie into the functions to do this or if someone has an idea of custom code for this. I'm going to look into it myself but my skills aren't the greatest. I'd appreciate any assistance.

It's really not built to force or auto update blocks... I think it would require extra coding to make individual blocks update...

The only other idea I can recommend and not 100% sure it will work is that you download stand alone version of LGSL from GreyCube.com and make custom blocks and use a java command to update or refresh the blocks... You can then create a custom link pointing back to the vBulletin page on your website...

Thanks for the reply. I've actually already got it figured out and am working on it. When on the server page it auto refreshes to the value I mentioned earlier. You also get the manual update button. I'm just going to make a minimal script and modify the javascript to run on page load instead of auto refresh so it can be run as a cron job. It should be fairly simple.

Ok, I spoke too soon. I have a basic page with multiple servers on the same page. Auto refresh doesn't work but I'm not going to fix it because I don't want it to. Eventually I want it refresh on page load for cron jobs but also have the manual update buttons. In order to have multiple servers on the page I made a new JS function copying the existing but adding serverid where appropriate and then added the serverid to the HTML code. The first refresh works but the AJAX rewrites the HTML from id="vbg_updater9" back to id="vbg_updater" breaking any subsequent refresh attempts. If someone could point me in the correct direction I could continue on and would much appreciate it. Eventually once the barebones are worked out I'll make into an actual VB page + template. I just need to learn how to setup a VB settings to select which server IDs to use. If anyone is interested in the final script (if it's ever finished) let me know.

New JS function, I've colored the changes to make it easier:

Hello,

If you access the software LGSL, I allow you to access the mine, it is available to all.

Regards,

greetings i have this up on my site now showing no errors and everything seems to be working.

attached is my updated bootstrap.php
with edits i found in this thread

second i added this code to my vbulletin config.php under
<?php
define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);

maybe that will help some others
all the tabs are working as well.

to view

also does anyone have the map images pack that went with this ?

All the edits were already in the final release I provided but you would have had to still use the skip errors for VB 4.2 and above ... Minecraft and TeamSpeak

Hello there, i'm using v4.0.4; working fine and i'm happy with it.

But i have a problem with a color:

http://66.90.122.10/mayu/pictures/vbgames.PNG

as you can see here.

Where to find the option to change the bg color of every 2nd user on the server; it's just damn hard to read ;)

greetings

It's set to use your theme for the colors... You would have to modify the vbgamez_playersbits in the style in Edit Template or change your themes font color... I'll see what I can do don't expect anything fast..

Oh i don't expect anything. i'm happy about every little input i can get, no matter how long it takes :)

thank you very much!

I've been noticing recently that VBGamez does not update/refresh on its own. If I go to the stand alone LGSL it works fine but the only way to get updated info in vbgamez is to open the server details and manually click refresh. All of my problems with this script revolve around the refresh times or lack thereof. I have the refresh/update time set to 10s in the options and I see AJAX refreshing the page but the AJAX refresh doesn't pull the new info. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to resolve it?

EDIT: Ok, so I actually found the problem. The "refresh" setting in the vboptions does nothing to actually pull the info from the feed as best I can tell. There's a cron job that does that and is set for every 10 minutes. For the time being I set it to every minute to see how hard it is on load. Since VB doesn't give me much room with cron I'll probably change it via SSH to every 3-5 minutes. Somehow one of our admins messed with the servers and the cron job was failing because of a couple "not in database" errors and even though it was running every ten minutes it was crashing and not "refreshing" the list. Now everything is working perfectly so far. Hope this helps someone else.

Hello,

My update is not done very well, and when I do this in ssh cron (*/3 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/clan-rmg.com/httpdocs/includes/cron/vbgamez.php ) it's not working.

Could you help me? I use Plesk for Linux.

kind regards,

Help plz

My LGSL Feed is public:

http://dedie.clan-rmg.com/lgsl_files/lgsl_feed.php

This add on is 5 years old and non-supported.

This mod works, it just requires an update ...
I'd buy it, so I would continue to use it. GeoDB currently not working and updating of servers does not happen all the time but works fine ...

Please update this mod!
