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.

come on guys, somebody pick this thing up and run with it!? its such a great mod. shame to go to waste

[thisgeek]

Well, I've got users mysteriously disappearing from the leaderboard.

If I manually run the cron update task for it, I get the following error:

gXboxLive Info Update

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/cron/miner.gxboxlive.php on line 85
Updated Accounts: .

Process Time: 0s.

Total Queries: 29.

Done

Looks like there may be a problem with the query.

I added some debug echos to the script, to try figure out what's going on.

I got the resolved query from $main_query, and ran it in phpmyadmin - I get a (correct) list of users.

However the line:

PHP Code:

$fullresult = $vbulletin->db->query_read($main_query); 


appears to return nothing. Unfortunately I don't know enough about PHP and in particular, the VB api to try figure out what it's supposed to return.

I'll try investigate further, and I'll update this post as I go along.

Ok. Found the way to fix the error:

In the file /forum install/includes/cron/miner.gxboxlive.php
Find:

PHP Code:

$querylimit = ceil(mysql_num_rows($fullresult) / ceil((strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day"))) - TIMENOW) / 60) ) + 5; 


And change it to:

PHP Code:

$querylimit = ceil($vbulletin->db->num_rows($fullresult) / ceil((strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day"))) - TIMENOW) / 60) ) + 5; 


That fixes the initial error, but the rest of the script doesn't seem to be working.
---

Ok, after iterating through the $card_string array, it seems that my server is being rejected - all the cards contain "403 Forbidden". This might indicate why it no longer works.
---

For what it's worth, changing

PHP Code:

                $card_string = fetch_file_via_socket($fetch_url . "?bot=gXboxLive_" . $gxblprod['version'] . "&ref=" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/gxboxlive.php"); 


to simply

PHP Code:

                $card_string = fetch_file_via_socket($fetch_url); 


fixed the issue for me. I don't know if it's the bot=gXboxLive string that has been banned or what.

Im running vbulletin 4.0.4, whenever I click on the gxboxlive link in the navbar or visit the leaderboard file. I just get redirected back to the homepage of the forum.

Anyone know why? / how to fix it?

Thanks for that. Much appreciated

[thisgeek]

Oh - I strongly suggest changing the update cron script to run once an hour instead of every minute. The script running every minute resulted in my server being temporarily banned from querying the cards.

[HellBoy]

Thanks to thisgeek, my Xbox Live Leaderboard is now working as intended once again. I had an issue with several disappearing accounts, which was resolved using the fix he posted. Great work!

[Ronin Storm]

Ah, good to see double confirmation of what I've discovered. Good work, thisgeek. I confirm that for us vB3.8.x users that the same fix works but I've also made the same recommendation about not hitting the card server frequently for fear of being banned.
