[ABD] Xbox Live Tag (1.1.0)

[eliseo]

this mod works like a charm! thanks a lot mate!

yet i have a few questions:

• i noticed that gamertags are not unique in the forum so i could say my GT is "xbox guy" and anyone else in my forum could change their GT to "xbox guy" too, how can i make them unique?
• i added the code to ask for the GT when the user registers, but i noticed the GT field is not required, it is just optional. how can i make the GT a mandatory field for registration?
• i noticed that in the UCP there's only one gamertag style (gel) and color (blue), how can i add more styles and colors to the dropdown box?
• finally,i noticed that there's no gamertag validation like the one they have in MGC, so i could say i'm "major nelson" and the system would have taken it, is there a way to validate a user's GT? i know this might be hard to do but i was just wondering if that's planned for a future release?

i tried to make those changes myself but i'm too new to this whole phpBB thing, i just know enough to be dangerous and i don't want to break my forums again...

So has anyone got this working successfully on 3.01 ?

I used to have it working on an older version , but since the upgrade/new style ive got problems with it. UCP options are missing , but the admin ones are still there. I can turn it on for users via acp , but cannot select any different sigs , only 1 is avaialable.

If it does indeed work , ill go back through the install and see what is missing , but im concerned why only one sig is avaialble in the acp.

Updated to work with 3.0.1 and changed some things within the mod as well.

Ah nice one pal....

Ill have a go tonight to see if I can fix it with the help of your new files/notes

[thepita]

Thanks Alot CoC!!!! I have just finished installing this on my site http://damngamer.com/phpbbforum

It works perfectly on 3.0.1 now!! everything shows up Thanks A Ton!!!!

[Groove200uk]

Nice one Coc.....re-did my install last night with the latest files/instructions and all back working perfectly !

Awesome job.

One question. The standard grey/yellow gamercard that appears under the users avatar in posts , can this be changed to a gamercard/net one with a different style ?

We have a blue forums , and would like to use a blue gel type.

Thanks

Copy the images to ./styles/prosilver/imageset



What that adds is a link to send the user a message on Xbox Live, or a link to add them as a friend.

i tried to implement the buttons but it didn't work, i don't get any errors it just doesn't show up at all. do i need to remove the flash gamercard in order for the buttons to work?

what i would like is the buttons under the flash card, to the right of the regular PM and email buttons. any ideas why this might not be working in my forums?

cheers.

Same problem here....... Using 1.1.0 of the mod and 3.0.1 of phpbb
I too would like the icons displayed under the gamer card and to the right of original buttons.
BTW, Thanks for the great MOD!

You need to purge the theme and images.

You need to purge the theme and images.

That did the trick, works like a charm, I added target="_new" to the 2 a href tags though. Opens the xbox links in a new tab or window.

[eliseo]

i did that too and still doesn't work, so i'm not really sure what could be wrong

for the sake of clarity, i did the following:
ACP -> Styles -> Style Components -> Themes -> prosilver: Refresh
ACP -> Styles -> Style Components -> Imagesets -> prosilver: Refresh

i also did:
ACP -> Styles -> Style Components -> Templates -> prosilver: Cache (deleted all files)
ACP -> General -> Clear Cache -> Execute

does anyone know what could i be missing?

TIA.

Edited 7/3/2008:
Changelog:
I switched 2 of the images back to the original from CoC, I was confused with how rollovers work, I messed up.
I made the Halo 3 button a rollover

Note:
After updating your code if you use this, do a theme and imageset refresh, then purge cache.
When you check it out, if not immediately updated, click refresh in your browser a few times. I have to refresh the browser twice in Fire Fox 3.0 before the changes show up.

Do not forget to refresh both your image sets and your theme on the style tab, then purge your cache on your general tab. Then Enjoy!

Note: to open up the button clicks in a new tab instead of a new window change the target="_blank" to target="_new", or, to just let the button navigate you away from the board, remove the target="_blank"

Edit: 10/01/08 was to replace the images, the links were dead.

thanks a lot man. unfortunately the fix didn't work for me. yet i found why, the IF condition at the beginning is not met. that is

<!-- IF postrow.XBL_ID -->

returns false, so none of the modifications get rendered. i have no clue why my XBL_ID is not set or it returns false. it doesn't make too much sense since the gamertags work correctly, but not the buttons would someone give a hint as to what could possibly be missing or wrong?

TIA.

[whoknowswhat]

Not sure why it is not working for you, it works fine for me, except the button's tooltips that pop up when the cursor is over them.

Maybe it is just a bad install of the contrib, or maybe CoC would know more on this.
I am new to the phpbb scene.
Sorry I couldn't be of further assistance. If I come across something I will post it though.

The problem appears to be the <li>'s and sthe <span>'s, when I installed this extra bit for the mod I had to change them to just <li> and change the <span>'s to img's with direct image references.

That done though, it still fails to add the gamertag into the links it generates, and as an example, only generates links such as http://live.xbox.com/profile/MessageCen ... e.aspx?gt=, leaving the {postrow.XBL_ID} out completely.
