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.

thanks

[zombietom]

Never mind --I got it removed

[rabinhood76]

I have install the product, and add the profile data with a real xbox account, but haven't data in the statistics page.

Just a quick question anyone

I have recently changed my vBulletin skin and now the Rank images (1st, 2nd and 3rd) have disappeared?

Does anyone know where I retrieve these or where I have to go to direct the image path or something?

Thanks.

Never mind fixed it. Needed to reload images / misc / gxboxlive to my styles misc folder if anyone else has the same problem.

Great mod. Have had it installed for a while now.

Is there any chance you can make the code and CSS validate? It can harm the overall site SEO as far as search engines go if the code doesn't validate.

Great mod though it is really useful for any gaming site.

Warning:
Can be really server intensive on huge boards!

	<cronentries>
		<cron varname="gxboxlive" active="1" loglevel="1">
			<filename>./includes/cron/miner.gxboxlive.php</filename>
			<scheduling weekday="-1" day="-1" hour="-1" minute="-1" />
		</cron>
	</cronentries>

The cron is set up to run EVERY minute 24/7. I recommend going into your scheduled tasks and change it to run every Monday or everyday at a specific time.

[brucegs]

first of all, this is a fantastic hack and thank you for making and supporting it It installed with no problems and works great.

I was wondering though if it's possible to display the leaderboard stats in a specific forum rather then on the forumhome?

[brucegs]

[S]I guess no one knows the answer?

I have tried putting $gxblstats into the forumdisplay template but nothing displays

I have also tried copying and pasting the code from the gxbl_stats template into the forumdisplay template and it partially works. It's strange because it will display the table, and the general stats (ie number of players, gold account, silver accounts etc) but does not display anything in the other columns where the avatars and top ranking player info should be etc....

please refer to attached image.

Any ideas on how I can get this working?[/S]

Nevermind, I got it working. For anyone else who wants to display the stats on a specific forum, all you need to do is go to

1. edit gXBL: Stats Forumhome in plugin manager
2. change the hook location to forumdisplay_start
3. Edit the forumdisplay template and add the following where you want the stats to display:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == X">

<!-- gxbl stats on box -->
$gxblstats
<!-- end gxbl stats box -->
</if> 


where X = the id of the forum you want it to display on


4. make sure that the 'Show Statistics on Forumhome' setting is set to yes, but have the 'Automatically add to Forumhome' setting set to no.

Please note that by making this change you ill no longer be able to display the stats on forumhome.
