XboxGT1.5

I recently downloaded the mod that allows your members to add their gamertag to their profiles and it installed with all tests successful. Others who have custom themes have reported issues with it not showing up, the guy said he would update it so it would work with custom themes but has yet to do so. I don't expect you to fix his problem but I know your a gamer yourself and thought maybe you had a take on this mod of your own that would work with your custom themes. Really though I know I'm stabbing in the dark though and just thought it was worth a shot. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Theme: Warzone
Forum URL: http://www.hardcorpsgamerz.com
Sorry nothing shows up to take pictures of with this theme. Posts should have a small Xbox symbol that resembles the silver guide button on the 360 controller, it would be located at the bottom of the posters avatar. I believe it would also add the Gamertag to their profile but I am not sure.

Test Account info
Username:hardcorps
Password:webtechnica

If any more info is needed just let me know

Give me the link to the mod and I'll see what I can do. Warzone has a few updates it needs anyway.

Here is the link to the mod:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=957

I also noticed this mod I applied for Ad Support wasn't displaying ads. I have a feeling that both of these mods suffer from the same problem and I bet it has to do with transparent backgrounds for their image files. I am not sure, but if you wanted to look at it here is that link:

Re: XboxGT1.5

It's the fact that the theme uses custom template files and aren't updated when the mod is installed.

Do me a favor and look in the style.css and see if this is in there:

Code:

/* This is for the post author information on each post. */
ul.postauthorinfo
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
ul.postauthorinfo li
{
font-size: x-small;
text-align: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}

If it's not, then add it into the bottom of your style.css file. After I get compatibility for these two mods applied, I'll give a link for you to download the updated template files.

Re: XboxGT1.5

Okay I added the section you gave me to the bottom of the style.css. I swear dude your the coolest guy ever, hopefully to you it's not a big deal but to me it is gonna make my users that much more happy which to me is a big deal. BTW I'm such a noob I was just making a wild guess as to what might be wrong, but I am trying to change that I bought a PHP, MySQL for Dummies book and I'm trying to fully understand it. I'm gonna need a second book to FULLY understand it but the Dummies book is helping me build a basic working knowledge of how to write code, implement it, and debug it. In the meantime i found an already built PHP program (iGaming) and I will use it until I can create my own programs or at least learn to customize it so the output matches my site.

Re: XboxGT1.5

I'm trying to figure out how to do the ad mod, but download this one for the xblgt mod:
http://www.webtechnica.net/files/Display.template.zip

Just extract that and upload it into you warzone theme directory overwriting the old one. You will also need to upload the image it uses into the warzone image directory.

Re: XboxGT1.5

Was that one supposed to be the final one for to finish the Xbox mod? I added the portion you gave me to the bottom of the bottom of the style.css, then I added the image to the image folder in the warzone theme and I replaced the old Display.template file with the new one but I still dont see the little image in my posts or on my profile.

Re: XboxGT1.5

If you don't even see it in your profile, then I don't know, because my themes don't even touch the profile template. Did you make sure you uploaded the image into the right place?

Re: XboxGT1.5

New development, I considered that maybe I needed to uninstall the package and reinstall it now that the proper changes were made. So I go to the package manager and try to do it, one of the tests failed when I run the uninstall. Trying to proceed with the uninstall despite results in the "hacker?" error message. I promise all the tests passed successfully when I installed the package without so much as a warning. The area in question that failed the uninstall is the
Type: Execute Modification
Action: ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Other than that everything you gave me to do yesterday went just as you instructed. I double checked all the files and made sure they are where they are supposed to be. I even put a copy of the image file into all the "Warzone/images/" subfolders just to be on the safe side.

*Update* The package actually took the uninstall despite the "hacker?" message. And on the 2nd installation all tests passed successfully. I still don't see it though. I might have been unclear when I was talking about the profile, I wasn't sure if the little icon was supposed to show up there or not, I only knew it would show up in the posts Author box. But as far as the line to fill in the Gamertag on the profile it's there.

When entering the gamertag do I need to enter the embed code or just the gamertag? That just occurred to me.
