Oh wow, great mod.

fantastic mod, nominated for MOTM

Excellent Mod.

Small issues with special chars, and you need to chmod your xblcache folder on your server, but other than that - brilliant !

Good mod,Thanks

A bit of an increase in server load though....

Make one for PS3, and you'll be the man.

I'll look into the special characters - I'm not too familiar with handling them.
I'll debug and try to find whats going on.
Do you have any details on your end?


Does PS3 have any feed APIs?
Anyplace to grab data?

top mod. voted for motm

Bilderback you can use vB_XML_Parser and then it won't be PHP5 dependent.

Awesome modification, I have it installed on my forums now. Even nominated it for MOTM. Keep up the great work and if a PS3 and Wii version are possible those would be great as well.

Install seemed to go OK, but whenever I click on 'Add your gamertag here' it just takes me to the usual edit details page at :

http://********.co.uk/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile

I'm guessing it's something simple I've missed! Anyone got any ideas?

[edit[ it was something simple, but I now get the following error when viewing my profile after putting an xbox gamer tag in :


Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in E:\domains\r\roxorx.co.uk\user\htdocs\forums\membe r.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 61

Thanks Gryphon, I'll look into rewriting the code.
Feel free to hack it up your self to improve anything.
Im still new to vbcode and php. :erm:

Does your php support cURL?
I am searching for an alternative solution to retrieving data.

To be honest, I have no idea! Web stuff aint my specialty in the world of IT sadly. Where would I find that out? The issue isn't down to Profile Fields in some way is it? Under AdminCP I only have field1 through field4.

You could view your phpinfo located in admincp
Maintenance -> View PHP Info
Look for curl support.

I am working on a new release that will replace the php5 and curl dependencies.

Great Mod --thanks! Installed

Modification of the Month -clicked!

I installed the upgrade and everything went great -no problems at all.
thanks

I installed it, it's working great! A+ Mod! Thanks again!

What If I'm using the modification gXboxLive? I already have a profile field set up for gamertags when users register. Is it possible that this modification will pick up their gamertag in that field?

Just find out what field it is and put that field instead of the default one that comes with this mod which would be this: gf_xbox

So find out what field gXboxLive is using and put that, on my site for example it is field8.

alright, thanks a lot.

Exactly where should xblcache be if I don't want to change the cache folder field in the admincp? I uploaded it into my forum root folder, but it says I didn't edit a valid value for it.

I just put mine in the root folder, and it is working fine...did you CHMOD it?

It's working now.

There no Games displayed right now, even in the Demoside :(

Is the XBL Network down? Or a bug in the Mod?

No support here?

Doesn't work well with Vbulletin 3.8.1

Same problem on my site.

So is it a 3.8+ issue..?

I would love to add this, but i am running 3.8.2.

need help just stoped working :confused:

yep --it did the same to me ..i think it is some kind of issue with xbl leaderboard mod

I have this running on my site (3.8.2 with vBSEO and many other mods) and it runs perfect. Check if you installed it correctly.

Are you running the gxboxlive leaderboard mod.?

*edit*
YES he is.! :)
--------------------


Is there anyway for the "TAB" to NOT show up for profiles that dont have xbox.?
PS3 people will not be happy to have this tab on thier profile.!?

I might have to disable this, until i get that figured out. Dont want to piss off PS3 members.

I assume you can edit so you can put the <if you don't have an xbox live account> on it.

*Caution - Off Topic*
Do you know of any PS3 Mods?

i made a mod that will let you show a ps3 gamer card in profile or in post

PS3 doesn't have any kind of updating system, so the only thing you can do is add one of those cards that you make manually.

Like this..


Fattony.. What exactly does this mean.?
How will that remove the tab from a persons profile.?

I don't know much about conditionals, but as shown here, http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200894 you can do the same thing with if they used modifications as you can put if they the profile field or not. I would love to tell you the exact code, but I am not good with that.

Ahh, i see what you mean, you are just somewhat guessing, based off of that thread.
Well it does make some sense, & im sure it is possible, BUT...
I would think it would be much easier to not show the tab if they leave the xbox field blank, instead. lol

Hopefully, or this mod does me no good. :erm:

i put my ps3 card in the right block.
There is a updating card that comes from the uk..it updates trophies and everything ..i'm using it as a sig at the moment but it could be done as a card on post or in the right block..but would need a size adjustment.
Click on the "about me" tab to see the updating sig i'm using.
