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.

That seems to be, what I've described some Posts above. So the scheduled tasks will run with this:

@Gryphon: Any ideas, how to fix these two?

but should be

• http://live.xbox.com/en-US/GameCente...pareTo=WHOEVER

Thanks a lot for your help!

[MrHyde]

Hi Gryphon,

can you please help with the following issues, that would be great:

1. The manual start of the cron in the AdminCP still doesn't work, but that is very low priority as you normally use the automatic function only.

2. In the compare-to function in the Leaderboard te problem with the link still exists, so you have "http://live.xbox.com" twice in the link, so the link doesn't work. How can we fix this?

3. For all functions with links you have the code "en-US", is there a way to change that to anything preferred, in order to get to the xbox-page of the country the users of your mod want to?

4. In the Postbit the mouse-over of the leaderboard-rank in order to see the gamercard will not work for Gamertags with a blank in it. You will see "Coder+Gryphon", instead of "Coder Gryphon" there, so the correct gamertag entry doesn't show up there.

Your help would be very much appreciated - THANKS!

1. Cannot help you with that, as it works fine for me.
2. There is a fix for this a few pages back.
3. Really shouldn't have any effect on users.
4. That hasn't worked for a while and no-one has managed to fix it. You just have to deactivate it via the Admin CP.

[MrHyde]

Hey Ross, perfect! Thanks for your quick help! :up:

1. Ok, no problem, will live with the error then
2. has worked fine with deleting the two "http://live.xbox.com" before "$game[link]", didn't thought about the XML :up:
3. The effect is landing on a xbox.com page in a different language - but the hint with the XML worked there, too. Just changed the three "en-US" and it works fine!

4. Deactivated, thanks for letting me know. Do you know, if there is a way to only deactive the non-working mouse-over of the gamercard? So the ranking still shows and you still can click on the users ranking to jump to the leaderboard?

[MotMann]

I have the same errors after i manual start of the cron in the AdminCP:

Warnung: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile() [domdocument.loadhtmlfile]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in [path]/includes/functions_gxboxlive.php (Zeile 401)

and much more lines.. need help
The Leaderboard is empty.

@+all, who it works correct.. deinstall and install new, then comes the Bug

What i must do?

Where its that one to fix my Problem? Is that the .htaccess?

No, it's exaxtly like said. Create a text-file with the notepad and name it php.ini, enter only one line that is

allow_url_fopen = on

and upload it on your server in the folder of your forum. That worked for me.

[MotMann]

No, the same mistakes.

[PhanZero]

Just updated from 2.2.4 => 2.2.6, everthing went fine, users are updated now... but their renommee down't show up. I guess it's a fault with saving these, because instead of an integer, in the database-table vb_gxboxlive it reads:

<div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div>

So in the html-source it reads now:

<td class="alt1"><img class="inlineimg" border="0" src="http://www.xxx.de/xxx/misc/gxboxlive/rep/<div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div>.png" alt="Renommee: <div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div><div class="Star Full"></div>" /></td>

Anybody knows a fix for this?

[Gryphon]

That is normal now, you may have to reset templates, there is css now to format the html in the db.

[boggseric]

SO can we get a confirmation if php5 is required for this mod? We are still running 4 on our site and the mod appears to be broken. No one is being updated and hasn't been for a while now.
