VERSION HISTORY

• version 1.1
  ~fixed postbit error
• version 1.0
  ~original beta release

If you made an option for users to decide whether or not to use their avatar as their actual avatar (similar to the navbar function), it'd be pretty sweet. Nice work though!

Interesting, I'll definitely have to think about adding this one.

Thanks, and user options noted.
Feel free to hack anything up or improve the code.
I am still new to vbcode and php.
The main reason for releasing gaming mods stems from many visitor requests
for the features they have seen used in my own forums.
They will surely become better with time.

Nice mod, I installed it, you can see it here: http://www.the360place.com/showthread.php?t=1175

But I hope you add that option to allow the members to either have their avatar or this, if you make that happen it will be awesome!

Nice addon :). Installed, thanks.

<u>Feature Requests</u>:
Allow the members themselves to choose if their avatar replaces their current avatar.
How about they choose rather they want their avatar head or body.

Nice addon

Seems i cant find the code that you required to find for the navbar image. Anyone mind telling where else i can put it

NVM found it

Second question, its installed onto my navbar where we want it, but when i go to the homepage (vBadvanced) its not their, any reason why?

Have you tried adding the template variable in your vbadvanced globals?
$xblavatarhead

Ill have a look too see if i can.

Cant find where to add it to get it in Vbadv, could you help me out?

I dont use vbadvanced but try looking in
Main Options->Portal Output Global Variables
do not use the dollar sign($)
enter only xblavatarhead

Those of you who do not have an avatar like me will see a gap in the position of where it was suppose to be. To get rid of this gap instead of $xblavatarhead put this:

okay I uploaded it and everything but I don't see any feature to actually load up your xbl avatar am I missing something here?

Did you set your preferences and enable the product?
By default it is off.

yeah everything enabled

Is the field properly entered? example: fieldX
You can PM me your site information and I can take a look.
Please provide more details and a screenshot of your admin settings, if possible.

okay here is my site

I also have uploaded everything and hav the field set as told to and I for some reason do not see anything happening to vb. Any ideas? And yes I did enable it lol.

Cancel that. I got it. Sorry!! Great Mod.. Obviously Installed!

@ rzpvile
Everything seems to be in working order at your site.

on my site (http://forum.swisssoldiersclan.ch) the avatar isn't showed - i installed the xml file and configured the mod. but the avatar isnt showed.

has anybody an idea?

Are you sure that you have correctly set all configurations?
-entered your gamertag profile field
(in your case- field5)

I see the url in your source code is an empty gamertag which usually means
that you havent entered the field id.

oh sorry - i didn't had the right field in the settings (default value). thanks - works now!
