XBL GamerCard Button (Appears just like IM buttons) · **Released**: 12-29-2005

Everyone loves Xbox Live

. Anyhow, there are a few other ways to get the gamertag into the postbit templates but wow does that look ugly!

So I figured "wouldn't it be cool if it looked like the Skype logos?" With that said I looked around and did a lot of fooling around on my test board. This is the end result:

XBL GamerCard as a IM button esque thing

1 - Step one - Create a user profile field (Admin CP => User Profile Fields => Add New

Single Line Text Box
Title: Xbox Live GamerTag
Description: Enter your Xbox Live GamerTag
Show on Member List: On
Field Searchable on Members List: On
The rest of the values are yours to mess in if you want to

2 - Take note of the field value (mine is field9)

3 - Time to edit your template (postbit/postbit_legacy) The path to do so from the Admin CP panel is : Admin CP => Styles and Templates => Template Manager => (Select 'Edit Templates' in the drop down menu for the template you wish to edit => Press [? ?] beside 'Postbit Templates' => [Customize] either 'postbit' or 'postbit_legacy'

Find:

Code:

    <td align="center">$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</td>

Replace with:

Code:

<td align="center">$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]<!-- Xbox Live Icon by Bluestrike2 of the MLGPwnCast.com -->
<if condition="$post[field5]"><a id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]" href="#" title="View Xbox Live! profile for $post[musername]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/xbl.gif" border="0" /></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("gamertagmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script><div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gamertagmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none"><iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/$post[field5].card" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" height="140" width="204">$post[field5]</iframe> </div> </if>
<!-- /Xbox Live Icon by Bluestrike2 of the MLGPwnCast.com --></td>

Do NOT forget to change 'field5' to whatever field yours is. The image goes in your style's misc. folder.

That's all folk!

Because of my Mac's TextEdit difficulties (isn't compatible for some reason but has been in the past

) I've attached the logo and a PDF of these instructions.

(Don't know why though

)

what editor did you use ? - The text is a mess ?

edit:
MSWord opens it.

Save as a "dos" txt file w/o formating.

Hmmm....

I'm on a mac and I used Text Editor. That sucks - I'll redo the text file in the morning. Sorry!

Edit: Its morning somewhere so its done and updated

ya the postbit still needs work

- I got a fake name in the profile to make it show up

The DIV tag shifts it to the next line.

Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/xbl.gif" border="0" />

allows you to place the image in - style / image / misc
