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.

There were a couple of template issues which i've resolved. In the main template (even after revert) the Reputation header was not like the others, it was unformatted, and wasn't able to sort in order etc.

You had the Reputation code as:

<th {vb:rawphrase reputation}</th>

So i changed it to:

<th><a href="gxboxlive.php?page={vb:raw pagenumber}&sortfield=n&sortorder={vb:raw oppositesort}" class="blocksubhead" style="text-align:center;">{vb:rawphrase reputation}<vb:if condition="$sortfield == 'n'"> <img class="sortarrow" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/sortarrow-{vb:raw oppositesort}.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase reverse_sort_order}" border="0" /></vb:if></a></th>

It needed the blockhead tag to make it appear like the others.


[S]The only thing on mine I haven't got to work is that the reputation comes up as a number, i.e. 20 not the stars image. Haven't figured that one out yet.[/S]
Ignore that about the stars, they are gradually appearing as it updates. :up:

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

Not sure about the postbit part because I don't use that but to get the gamercard showing up on forumhome copy the contents of gxbl_headinclude into your headinclude template

[Hippy]

thanks Gemma .. thanks for the temp fix..

would you know why Total Reputation is not working .. I guess it should total up all the Reputation but it just reads 0 all the time..

thanks again for your reply

oh and how to get zone to work ?

Is this going to be updated? Like others said, its not updating the leader board and hasn't for months. I may have to uninstall it.

Tried that, didn't work.

It won't add new users and it won't adjust the leaderboard but if someone on the leaderboard deletes their gamertag info then they'll disappear from the leaderboard, but it won't put anyone else on in thier place.

EDITED: I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. It "appears" to be working as it now has the new people listed but I won't know if its actually ranking them until someones points change.

[Hippy]

.. yeah its buggie .. and all doesn't work.. but I am slowly getting things fixed ..
Not Supported
Is in Beta Stage

I guess you can't expect much..
but there are people I have seen fixed alot of stuff but not many come here to help out..

keep us posted on how things go.

[Travis641]

I got a PM to share my fixes for this mod from Hippy. All my fixes are in the thread somewhere - not sure if there is some other fix you are talking about if not one of those.

Reputation, as far as I know, does not work anymore with this mod after Microsoft changed this information on the xbox live cards. Perhaps it still works, but I just have it removed from my templates.

As far as updating problem goes, I have not noticed any problems with the script updating the database. Although, I suppose it is a little slow at times, but that might because I have 2500+ people on my gxboxlive list, and it only seems to do a handful at a time when it does the updates.

If your images are not showing when you hover over links, you might have some other javascript that is conflicting with this causing it not to work. Quickest way to test is to make a new style, which should be the default vbulletin style and see if the problem is still there.
