Xbox Live GamerTag details in Profile

With the release of the Xbox 360 I thought this would look nice if you run a Xbox related forum. It takes the persons GamerTag card from Xbox.com and feeds the details of games played, icon selected and displays their GamerTag into their posts with links to their stats in games played.

Modifications:
1 extra Field
1 Template modification

Add New Field:
Go to AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box
Title: Xbox GamerTag
Description: Please enter your GamerTag here.
Field Required: You can select here if you wish to have GamerTags required upon registration or not.
Click Save.

Note the field ID, which you will need in the template code.

Template Modification:
Go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager
Select the Style you wish to edit. In the dropdown menu select Edit Templates
Find Postbit Templates - edit either postbit or postbit_legacy

Find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]

Add this below:

<!-- / Xbox Card Hack -->
<if condition="$post['field_XX']">
<iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/$post[field_XX].card" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" height="140" width="204"></iframe>
</if>
<!-- / End Xbox Card Hack -->

When you create the new field make a note of the field ID you will need to substitute the _XX with the GamerTag field ID number.

Nearly finished... Now just Edit your Profile and enter your GamerTag!

What A Rip

Look what is posted at Movember 1, 2005 by my admin which we had running first of all Xbox Fan Sites:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=99867

Just plain cheap!!

Wrote Gamertag 'XxH1TM4N FU51ON' down future reference.

I have to agree with xug, this mod seems to be exactly what the mod xug linked to does, even with similar code.

I won't close this yet but if you can give me a reason how this differs enough from the other mod, I will leave it open.

Sorry I didn't see that thread when I did a search on here. I seen the mod first on an Invision Board, so I thought I'd make one for vBulletin.

The actual code is only slightly different because a majority of the iframe code is on xbox.com for anyone to use. TBH, I'm more into ActionScripting in Flash and PHP.

xug: That gamertag is my son's - I don't play on Xbox Live!

Again sorry for any confusion!

Actually this thread has better Google PageRank than the other one

Implemented a simple derived version at http://forum.xboxic.com

/\ Look we are all posting here, and a better ranking doesn't make this ripoff legal.

But we are not that worried about it, it's just the idea and we moved on to our own live generated cards as XUG is member of the Xbox Community Development Program which gives us more oppertunities.

Enjoy your cards.

Dude it didnt give me no field ID or anything. Is there some ways somebody could take a screen shot because I really dont see it.

[Wired1]

Under USER PROFILE FIELDS there will be a view or edit fields option. When you see them in a table, there's a column for field ID.
