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.

I'm pretty sure my errors the same the other 2 guys but just in case:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT
vb_user.*,
vb_userfield.field5,
IF(usergroup.genericoptions & 32, 0, 1) AS isnotbannedgroup
FROM
`vb_userfield`
INNER JOIN
vb_usergroup AS usergroup ON(usergroup.usergroupid = vb_user.usergroupid)
LEFT JOIN
`vb_user` ON vb_userfield.userid = vb_user.userid
WHERE
vb_user.posts >= '0'
AND
vb_userfield.field5 != ''
ORDER BY

Hello,
nice hack. We have used one of our userfields for the XBL gamertag for some time and have 2,300 members with a gamertag entered.
I have reduced the frequency of the scheduled task to every hour but still only have the details of 275 members in the gxboxlive table.
I have just changed it to update once a day.
Do you have an idea of how long it takes to retrieve the data for 2,300 members?
Will it cause excess load on the server?

[edit : having looked through the scheduled task log, there are no entries for the gxboxlive task]

Sorry, I got sidetracked on about 4 other modifications I'm working on. I will look into correcting this database error soon. v1.21 should work in the meantime until I can release v1.32.

Thanks Jack

Spinball, I'm afraid that vBulletin's cron may not be powerful enough to handle large gamertag processes. I will have to work on splitting up the processes into smaller chunks in order to make this more efficient, until then, there may be no fix other than to run the tak manually occasionally. I've been monitoring some boards with thousands of users and they appear to work ok, though server setup can play a large roll in how well they will do.

Improving this is on top of my list of things to do.

Nice

Uploaded the xboxlive.php, miner.gxboxlive.php files from the 1.32 zip file. Imported product with Overwrite enabled.

Manually ran the cron job. No errors and everything works beautifully now. Thanks for a fast update and fix for the issue. It was odd that some people had it and others didn't.

Awesome job with this product.

[Gryphon]

Thanks. I most likely didn't follow coding standards in creating my mySQL statement and people with less strict settings/older software/different permissions on their servers let it slip by while others error. I will have to learn what it is I did wrong in order to eliminate banned users from the listing.
