Xbox Live GamerTag details in Profile
 

With the release of the Xbox 360 I thought this would look nice if you run a Xbox related forum. It takes the persons GamerTag card from Xbox.com and feeds the details of games played, icon selected and displays their GamerTag into their posts with links to their stats in games played.

Thanks for sharing your mod. Could you also attach your instructions in a .txt file? Thanks.

Question is the Gamertag show ALL the time or is the Field Clickable and expands?

The GamerTag card will show all the time with the settings I have listed. It uses an iframe to display the data which isn't collapsible.

Thanks, this will be quite handy

Awesome. Thanks for the code. I had been trying to do this on my own, but wasn't getting the syntax just right.

Thanks a bunch.

Okay, I'm having problems with this hack. With the help of one of my other Administrators, we were able to get the gamercard to display properly. The problem is, now when you go to click a poster's forum name (not their gamertag), it doesn't do the drop down menu anymore so you can view their profile or any of that. I'm using vBulletin 3.56.2.

Anyone know how to solve this? If you want to view what it's doing, I left it up on my forums.

I wanna find a way to display online status for xbox live.

Unless Microsoft releases that info on their site, you can't do it.

That information is only available if you are registered and signed in to Xbox.com - so at the moment 'Wired1' is correct. It would need to be made publically available.
