Forum Display Enhancements - Xbox Gamercards [NXE enabled]

About: I made this modification (with help from MyGamercard.net) so that we could have the new gamercard layout done for the New Xbox Experience!

This mod does work with 3.8.x as well!

Demo: Look at the post and see on the left the new gamercard. If you are unable to see the DEMO, please register an account and you should be able to see the updated code.

Step 1: Add a new Profile Field with the following options:

* Single-Line Text Box
* Title: Gamertag
* Description: Enter your Xbox Live Gamertag here.
* Max length of allowed user input: 15
* Field Length: 25
* Private Field: No
* Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
* Show on Members List: Your choice
* Which page displays this option? Edit Your Details


Remember the Field ID.

Step 2A *required*: Modify the Postbit_legacy in your template:

1. Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Postbit Templates ->
postbit_legacy

Find

$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]

After this add:

<if condition="$post['field#']">
<div id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]"><a href="#"><b>Xbox LIVE</a>&nbsp;<img src="http://YOURSITEHERE/images/misc/menu_open.gif"></b>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("gamertagmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
</div>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none"><iframe src="http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/$post[field#].png" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0">$post[field#]</iframe> </div>
</if>

Replace the $post[field#] with your field ID you used for your gamertag! Change "YOURSITEHERE" with your URL to this location!

Step 2B: Thanks to Distance! Do you wanna restrict this code to certain usergroups only? You can... just put this before the <if condition> code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)"><if condition="$post['field#']">
<div id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]"><a href="#"><b>Xbox LIVE</a>&nbsp;<img src="http://YOURSITEHERE/images/misc/menu_open.gif"></b>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("gamertagmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
</div>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none"><iframe src="http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/$post[field#].png" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0">$post[field#]</iframe> </div>
</if></if>

Replace the $post[field#] with your field ID you used for your gamertag! Change "YOURSITEHERE" with your URL to this location! Also, replace X, Y, Z with the Usergroup IDs (can be found in Usergroup Manager in your AdminCP)

Step 3: Go to Edit Your Details to add your gamertag to your profile.

Step 4: You're done! Your gamercard will work now and mini avatar faces will start working when you get the New Xbox Experience on your dashboard!

FAQ

How do I know if the Avatar System is actually working? It's only showing a silhouette.

If other users are having the avatar working for them, it means it's working correctly. You just don't have the new dashboard -OR- your privacy settings are enabled on Xbox LIVE.

Enjoy the MOD!
Any questions? Leave them here or ask me on Gaming Fusion!

You would do this by finding which usergroups you wish to view this and use the following conditional below;

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">

.

Replacing X Y Z with the relative usergroup IDs.

Then simply add </if> to the end of the code and you're done.

Version 2.00 is now released fixing all sizing issues and makes it much more compact and out of the way!

That is really weird.. that does look correct. Try this code instead (same location) and tell me if this works for you.. if not let me know. I copied and pasted this from my site so just replace the "field5" with your field for your gamertag. (I also sent this to your PM). I just checked your site... you are using "postbit" try going to vBulletin Options in your admincp and click Style & Language Settings. Change it to legacy and hit Save. Check your forum and see if the gamercard is there now. If it is, great.. if not, try replacing the code above with the code I have provided below (in the same place):

<if condition="$post['field5']">
<div id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]"><a href="#"><b>Xbox LIVE</a>&nbsp;<img src="http://forum.swisssoldiersclan.ch/images/misc/menu_open.gif"></b>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("gamertagmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
</div>
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none"><iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/$post[field5].card" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" height="140" width="204">$post[field5]</iframe> </div>
</if>

Hope this helps! =]

Hahaha I got this:
(I know a little German lol so it was pretty easy to pick up on it.. before I realized you wrote it in English as well! HAHA)

Das Forum ist auf Grund von Wartungsarbeiten vor?bergehend geschlossen.

Bitte haben Sie Verst?ndnis und versuchen Sie es sp?ter noch einmal.

Our forum is currently under maintenance. Thank you for your appreciation.

I'm guessing you are talking about the dimensions... easy to fix.. just add after the source in the image you are using the following

WIDTH="NUMBER" HEIGHT="NUMBER">

Replace NUMBER with dimensions until you find the right set... I usually just divide the width and height by 1/3 then subtract that number by the normal size. There you go! If you need more help let me know... or if I need to say that better lol.

Okay I think you are using a different picture for your Gamercard... they can be a little glitchy with this code but can you remove the WIDTH/HEIGHT and retake a picture so I can see how it looks? Thanks.

[SSC streezer]

see printscreen above...
