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.

Great work Gryphon mate thanks

Something I just noticed which i'm not sure if was always there as I rarely use IE. When you hover over the avatar bit so that it pops up on the screen, in FireFox it's perfect because it's got a transparent background, but on IE it's got a white background. But as I said I don't know if it was like that before.

oh, joy! here i go with the updates!
THANKS TO BOTH / ALL!
respect!

I saw it somewhere, but I can't remember where it was or what the reason was.

However, since then I have found this: http://www.ps3trophies.com/leaderboard/

That's a leaderboard. But their site is not vBulletin. Their forum is vBulletin but I believe their main site is not.

It might be possible now, not sure. Sony use to not have any public gamer data that was available. However, I don't have a PS or the time to work on such a project.

[Travis641]

P.S. I'd like to give my personal apology to Travis641 for my attitude. It was unnecessary and uncalled for.

Thank you, I said a lot of things I shouldn't have as well, and I apologize as well. :up:

I've been trying to figure out how to get Playstation Network information for about a month or so, because I wanted to include it in my gamercard generator. I believe it can be accomplished now, albeit it seems to be far more difficult than the Xbox leaderboard. There are several APIs you can download that allow you to pull PS3 information, such as here, however I do not have a Windows server to run ASPX code.

As for the fix with spaces in names on gxboxlive, I've just replaced the code in gxboxlive.php on line 266:

PHP Code:

$player['url_gamertag'] = urlencode($player['gamertag']); 


with

PHP Code:

$player['url_gamertag'] = str_replace(" ","%20",$player['gamertag']); 


It seems to work for me.

[Gryphon]

Thanks Travis641, though it just needed a template change. Updated zip with fix for gamertag, just import the product with overwrite, not other file changes.

When importing the new product I get:

XML Error: no element found at Line 311

How do I change the title of the link that goes on the navtab? (I think that's the navtab. Next to forum, what's new, etc.)

Thanks.

Thanks.

I went in to the adminCP and used Languages and Phrases, Search in Phrases, and searched for the text and replaced it with what I wanted.
