Xbox Live GamerTag details in Profile

With the release of the Xbox 360 I thought this would look nice if you run a Xbox related forum. It takes the persons GamerTag card from Xbox.com and feeds the details of games played, icon selected and displays their GamerTag into their posts with links to their stats in games played.

Modifications:
1 extra Field
1 Template modification

Add New Field:
Go to AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box
Title: Xbox GamerTag
Description: Please enter your GamerTag here.
Field Required: You can select here if you wish to have GamerTags required upon registration or not.
Click Save.

Note the field ID, which you will need in the template code.

Template Modification:
Go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager
Select the Style you wish to edit. In the dropdown menu select Edit Templates
Find Postbit Templates - edit either postbit or postbit_legacy

Find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]

Add this below:

<!-- / Xbox Card Hack -->
<if condition="$post['field_XX']">
<iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/$post[field_XX].card" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" height="140" width="204"></iframe>
</if>
<!-- / End Xbox Card Hack -->

When you create the new field make a note of the field ID you will need to substitute the _XX with the GamerTag field ID number.

Nearly finished... Now just Edit your Profile and enter your GamerTag!

The GamerTag card will show all the time with the settings I have listed. It uses an iframe to display the data which isn't collapsible.

Awesome. Thanks for the code. I had been trying to do this on my own, but wasn't getting the syntax just right.

Thanks a bunch.

Okay, I'm having problems with this hack. With the help of one of my other Administrators, we were able to get the gamercard to display properly. The problem is, now when you go to click a poster's forum name (not their gamertag), it doesn't do the drop down menu anymore so you can view their profile or any of that. I'm using vBulletin 3.56.2.

Anyone know how to solve this? If you want to view what it's doing, I left it up on my forums.

Unless Microsoft releases that info on their site, you can't do it.

That information is only available if you are registered and signed in to Xbox.com - so at the moment 'Wired1' is correct. It would need to be made publically available.
