[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.

You do not have the images in the proper location. The images go in the misc folder for your specific style. FF just hides the fact that they are broken and just displays the alt text.

Hi there,
I installed this over the weekend and because we already have over 3,700 members with gamer tags set up, the system was beavering away to add them. I think most were added over the course of the weekend.
Unfortunately our forums were really struggling this morning.
The gXboxLive mod was absolutely strangling the database server.
Quote:
10317 | admin | 192.168.0.1:58892 | vbulletin | Query | 1 | Locked | UPDATE gxboxlive SET `rank` = '1718', `error` = '0' WHERE `userid` = '146703'

| 11234 | admin | 192.168.0.2:60502 | vbulletin | Query | 2 | Sending data | SELECT
COUNT(user.userid) AS `usercount`,
SUM(gxboxlive.score) AS `score`,
SUM(gxboxlive.reput |
| 11235 | admin | 192.168.0.2:60503 | vbulletin | Query | 1 | Locked | SELECT moderator.*, user.username,
IF(user.displaygroupid = 0, user.usergroupid, user.displaygroup |
| 11236 | admin | 192.168.0.1:59416 | vbulletin | Query | 2 | Sending data | SELECT
COUNT(user.userid) AS `usercount`,
SUM(gxboxlive.score) AS `score`,
SUM(gxboxlive.reput |
and as soon as I deactivated the mod, the server instantaneously sprang back to life.

Any clues as to what it is about the mod was causing this and how we can improve the situation?
Thanks.

Thanks.
With 2.0 I have been working on mostly optimization making sure queries only happen when absolutely needed. However, just the process of caching the gamer cards is intensive, with 2.0 the card scanning is spanned over the course of the day. Right now the ranking process is the most intensive and I am searching for a better solution. But right at this moment there is nothing you can do about it. It may level out once the leaderboard has been populated fully, which is a day or two.

It appears your board has some strange issues with the leaderboard. The headinclude doesn't seem to be loading, as well as the pagnation is broken.

I'm getting an error with 2.1.4:
Quote:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/forum.nsgp.net/includes/functions_gxboxlive.php on line 28
It comes when I try to manually run the scheduled task.

I've had to disable it for now - that's why it's not appearing correctly.
Try disabling it on yours and then accessing the page - you'll probably get the same results.
Maybe if you set an option to allow it to update only between certain times. I would have it work between 2am and 7am for example.
It's a pity I've had to disable it - look at the reception it got : http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=696978
