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.

It works fine on my 4.1.3..
Actually the leaderboard does, but the stats never update. I still only show 10 users on a game that we do a league for that has 30 people in it. lol

I just uninstall & reinstall every so often to get a fresh listing. (or just update, if there is one)


Also there is still a "Reputation" column on mine, is that right.?
Probably because i never delete from server. (just re-upload xml)

Anything i can put in the code to replace this, so it doesn't mis-align the top menu.?

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

[VAG]

I did send the developer a private message. No response... Anyone care to have a look why it isn't working on 4.1.3 ?

[Gamelobby]

It really never has worked flawlessly.

[VAG]

Thanks. I uninstalled it. It's not working anyway. Not even the first time, so my leaderboard stayed empty.

Any alternatives for this ?

Did you FTP into your server and check the date time stamp on the files to see if they matched the last time you loaded them up? Mine wasn't working either until I discovered they didn't overwrite. I went in a deleted all the gXboxLive non graphic files and reloaded. After that it started working for me and I am on 4.1.3

Yea thats what i do, & it reloads the leaderboard great, all up to date, etc.. but the stats will always be whatever it is when you re-upload it.. they never change after that. The stats are always the same, unless you upload it again. (re-install).

Thats why i re-upload this mod every month or so to get a fresh count in the stats.

I dont think any of my members view the actual leaderboard.. its just nice to see how many active members are playing which games in the stats. (at the bottom of forumhome)

[otttto]

So I have it run on, but the reputation does not appear.
What can that be?

Can someone help me?

In the MSQL Table is:

<div class="Star Full"></div>

Thanks

Vers 4.1.3

Works fine on my 4.1.3. It updates every day perfectly. However, I have not had any new members try and add a gamertag to the leaderboard so i don't know if it works still in that area.

I changed my gamertag yesterday, the cron ran at midnight and it updated my gamertag when I looked this morning. If you want PM me your board and I'll sign up just to see if it works.

Do disable the original xbox menu/tab, just go to "Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > gXBL: vB4 Tab Item" and inactivate the plugin.
