Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Got it...

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> gXboxLive Templates

GXBL was highlighted red (customized) although I'd never customized it.

Select and hit revert.

Problem is solved. Thank you.

Ok there is a weird issue going on.. Before it was only the two sports games that were linking to my site instead of xbox, but now that i made the template edits, the rest are double linked..?
Keep in mind ONLY the two sports images are fixed, the rest are now double linked.!?


Madden 11 > Is linked to this:

Would a complete uninstall & re-install help (or hurt) anything.?

[Gryphon]

It must be from previous gamertags that are now filtered out from the leaderboard. Unfortunately, the only way at the moment to fix that is to clear the data and let it repopulate.

If you uninstall the product it will delete the tables, then reinstall and it will recreate empty ones. However, you will have to enter in all the settings again.

[Gamelobby]

cool. I'll try it.


*edit*
Yup all good now.
The friend invite thing is pointless now right, so we might as well just turn it off.?


I got an idea for future releases.. Can you give the option to list the game icons by x amount across & x amount tall. (or i guess if you list a certain amount across the tall just depends how many you are showing.)

On mine (not sure about other skins) If i list top 10 the list of names (GT's) is lets say 4 inches tall, but only two rows of 5 icons is only about 1 inch tall, so it looks weird with an inch or more of blank white space on top & also underneath the game icons.
If there was a way to set it to a certain amount of them across (or down i guess) we could all show what we want, & make it fit our skin better.
I imagine not a big deal to do, but maybe in the next release it could be an added feature.

Has anyone noticed an issue with Gamertags with spaces in them? Ever since the change of the gamer cards, all my users with spaces. For example:



All users with no spaces in their names are showing perfectly. I've updated to the latest version of this mod also. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Take out or add the + sign.

Thanks for the reply.

What template would the + sign be in?

[Gamelobby]

In their gamertag where they edit their profile.. although i didn't go thru & edit all of mine, so it must be a fix in the latest download zip file.
Have you updated it, & uploaded the latest.? (2.2.5)

[Ross L]

Yeah I updated and reverted all the templates but it hasn't fixed the issue. I tried adding a + in the username field and it throw up this error "You did not enter the correct format for the Xbox Live Gamertag field. Please read the field description for the expected format.". Just wondering what template edit fixed the code for gamertags with spaces, so I can just manually update it and see if that works.
