Awesome modification, I have it installed on my forums now. Even nominated it for MOTM. Keep up the great work and if a PS3 and Wii version are possible those would be great as well.

Install seemed to go OK, but whenever I click on 'Add your gamertag here' it just takes me to the usual edit details page at :

http://********.co.uk/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile

I'm guessing it's something simple I've missed! Anyone got any ideas?

[edit[ it was something simple, but I now get the following error when viewing my profile after putting an xbox gamer tag in :


Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in E:\domains\r\roxorx.co.uk\user\htdocs\forums\membe r.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 61

Thanks Gryphon, I'll look into rewriting the code.
Feel free to hack it up your self to improve anything.

Does your php support cURL?
I am searching for an alternative solution to retrieving data.

To be honest, I have no idea! Web stuff aint my specialty in the world of IT sadly. Where would I find that out? The issue isn't down to Profile Fields in some way is it? Under AdminCP I only have field1 through field4.

You could view your phpinfo located in admincp
Maintenance -> View PHP Info
Look for curl support.

I am working on a new release that will replace the php5 and curl dependencies.

What If I'm using the modification gXboxLive? I already have a profile field set up for gamertags when users register. Is it possible that this modification will pick up their gamertag in that field?
