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.

Without an error, it is tough for me to guess what could be causing a problem. One issue that could possibly cause a problem is bogus usernames, but there is usually an error report from that. The other option is that your server for some reason ceased to be able to resolve xbox.com

On an unrelated note, it appears that you do not have clientscript/overlib/overlib.js uploaded.

That would make no sense, wouldn't nothing show up if that were the case?

That doesn't seem possible - I uploaded the stuff out of the archive as is. I could try reuploading, though.

Edit: It was there, in the wrong place. There was a clientscript directory underneath clientscript - I must have uploaded it starting from the wrong directory. That directory is now in the right place; would that have anything to do with this?

I looked in my task log, and the last entry from earlier at 11:15AM was there, when it was "stuck at 36". I see there's now one at 2:20PM and it added one more - I'm now at 37. But I have about 180 people in there with profiles, and it's seeing only 37. One of the 180 I added manually myself after it was seemingly stuck at 36.

Still don't know where to go with this.

Edit 2: And another one got added at 3:13PM. I don't udnerstand why it's seeing them sometimes, and not other times.

What does this mod do if they put in a username, and have their settings on Xbox set to not broadcast what they're doing? Would that gum up this addon?

Update at 5:05PM..

I uninstalled the app a few minutes ago, and then reinstalled. It got rather quickly back to the same number it had before. Actually one more - I got to 39. I was forcibly runnign the event in the Scheduled Task Manager in vB, and it was adding people. Until it got to 39. It's stuck in the same way again.

The only thing I can come up with is the plugin chokes if it runs into a user profile it can't deal with. I'm not seeing any errors, there's nothing in the log. What *DOES* the plugin do with a user profile whose security is set that you can't read their data when you try?

Edit: Tried running the task manager from home twice this evening, and got two odd results:

Scheduled Task Manager

Process Time: 2s.

Total Queries: 53.

I'm also having a problem..

The plugin won't install..

It keeps saying that the sql is causing an error, and I wrote a ticket and they said to contact your community that created the mod.

It keeps saying..

"invalid Vb table, and then the sql says dropped."
"Alter Table."

[Joe Siegler]

Random thought about my issue. If someone put a gamertag of all spaces in that field, would that explain this? Would vB even accept all spaces as data there?

If this is the case, finding who it is and getting them out of the list is a problem. Is there a way to tell vB "Hey, show me who has filled out data in this particular custom profile field, and tell me what's in it, too"? I could scan my entries for irregularities that way.

Would it be difficult to let the url of that page just be "xboxlive.php" instead of with the g?

[Chris B]

Hi, how would I go about changing the name of the mod in the navbar only, I'm fine with the gXboxLive name being used elsewhere I just want ti changed in the navbar.

Thanks, great mod!

A user brought up that the leaderboard is out of date on my site. His score is higher according to xbox.com.

I manually run the scheduled task and it simply displays 'done' on the screen. The log shows the last update on 8/12. Looking deeper at the log, it appears to only update information on random days, assuming this is when the data had changed.

Not sure why I cannot get it to update now. Ideas? No errors makes this difficult to track down.

This mod still isn't working for me... I've followed instructions, but still i don't get any results! - All i see in my gxboxlive.php is the copyright "gXboxLive, Copyright ? 2006 - 2008, Ryan Snook" where the gamertags should be... anyone help? here's the direct link to the page http://www.consolecommunity.com/gxboxlive.php

[JVCode]

Okay, I have an error message, which was sent to me by email:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT error FROM `vb_gxboxlive` AS gxboxlive WHERE error = '1' ORDER BY error DESC;
