Without an error, it is tough for me to guess what could be causing a problem. One issue that could possibly cause a problem is bogus usernames, but there is usually an error report from that. The other option is that your server for some reason ceased to be able to resolve xbox.com

On an unrelated note, it appears that you do not have clientscript/overlib/overlib.js uploaded.

That would make no sense, wouldn't nothing show up if that were the case?

That doesn't seem possible - I uploaded the stuff out of the archive as is. I could try reuploading, though.

Edit: It was there, in the wrong place. There was a clientscript directory underneath clientscript - I must have uploaded it starting from the wrong directory. That directory is now in the right place; would that have anything to do with this?

I looked in my task log, and the last entry from earlier at 11:15AM was there, when it was "stuck at 36". I see there's now one at 2:20PM and it added one more - I'm now at 37. But I have about 180 people in there with profiles, and it's seeing only 37. One of the 180 I added manually myself after it was seemingly stuck at 36.

Still don't know where to go with this.

Edit 2: And another one got added at 3:13PM. I don't udnerstand why it's seeing them sometimes, and not other times.

What does this mod do if they put in a username, and have their settings on Xbox set to not broadcast what they're doing? Would that gum up this addon?

Update at 5:05PM..

I uninstalled the app a few minutes ago, and then reinstalled. It got rather quickly back to the same number it had before. Actually one more - I got to 39. I was forcibly runnign the event in the Scheduled Task Manager in vB, and it was adding people. Until it got to 39. It's stuck in the same way again.

The only thing I can come up with is the plugin chokes if it runs into a user profile it can't deal with. I'm not seeing any errors, there's nothing in the log. What *DOES* the plugin do with a user profile whose security is set that you can't read their data when you try?

Edit: Tried running the task manager from home twice this evening, and got two odd results:

Scheduled Task Manager

Updated Accounts: .

Process Time: 2s.

Total Queries: 53.

I'm also having a problem..

The plugin won't install..

It keeps saying that the sql is causing an error, and I wrote a ticket and they said to contact your community that created the mod.

It keeps saying..

"invalid Vb table, and then the sql says dropped."
"Alter Table."

[Joe Siegler]

Random thought about my issue. If someone put a gamertag of all spaces in that field, would that explain this? Would vB even accept all spaces as data there?

If this is the case, finding who it is and getting them out of the list is a problem. Is there a way to tell vB "Hey, show me who has filled out data in this particular custom profile field, and tell me what's in it, too"? I could scan my entries for irregularities that way.

Would it be difficult to let the url of that page just be "xboxlive.php" instead of with the g?

Hi, how would I go about changing the name of the mod in the navbar only, I'm fine with the gXboxLive name being used elsewhere I just want ti changed in the navbar.

Thanks, great mod!

A user brought up that the leaderboard is out of date on my site. His score is higher according to xbox.com.

I manually run the scheduled task and it simply displays 'done' on the screen. The log shows the last update on 8/12. Looking deeper at the log, it appears to only update information on random days, assuming this is when the data had changed.

Not sure why I cannot get it to update now. Ideas? No errors makes this difficult to track down.

This mod still isn't working for me... I've followed instructions, but still i don't get any results! - All i see in my gxboxlive.php is the copyright "gXboxLive, Copyright © 2006 - 2008, Ryan Snook" where the gamertags should be... anyone help? here's the direct link to the page http://www.consolecommunity.com/gxboxlive.php

[JVCode]

Okay, I have an error message, which was sent to me by email:


Invalid SQL:
SELECT error FROM `vb_gxboxlive` AS gxboxlive WHERE error = '1' ORDER BY error DESC;

It will work fine, everyone has a public gamercard.

If someone enters a bogus name you will see:

vBulletin trims profile field entries, all spaces is the same as blank.

Joe, I am afraid I just do not have an answer for what could be causing the issue.

You would have to change all refrences to that address in all of the files.

They are handled by phrases. Search phrases for gXboxLive and make the desired changes.

Gamercards are only scanned once per day, manual scheduled task runs will not change that. So the user will have to wait up to 24 hours for it to update. If it is several days beyond when he last changed his score and gXboxLive is still not updating, I can't think of what would cause this off the top of my head.

I am afraid I do not know what is invalid about that query, unless the product hasn't been updated/installed?

Thanks for the reply, I think i'll just uninstall and move on lol, this hack is more trouble than it's worth!

There are a lot of people that have not had any trouble with the mod, including some with thousands of gamertags. Sorry to that I couldn't help you out better, the mod has been flawless for me and it is tough to troubleshoot problems I can't reproduce.

[Chris11987]

I'm having the same problem as others. Many of the gamertags aren't showing up for people on the leaderboard. They show up in their profiles fine, but not on the leaderboard. This is after hours and hours, and also running the task.

Let me ask you this. Do you know of a way to let me see which user accounts have put data in the specific field, and show it?

I could manually go through a list of users with data in the specific field (and what they've entered). and see if there's corrupt data and remove it. I'm seeing no errors, so either I'm looking in the wrong place, or the script is not throwing any.

If I could take a look at everyone's data for that field, it might help me. If your script doesn't do this, how hard would it be to write a quickie little something to make this happen? Kind of a "debug" script to go along with your main one?

Edit: I sort of managed to unstick this, although I don't know if I fully fixed it. Since I can't find a way to get vB to show me every user who has entered any kind of data into a custom field, I had to improvise. I did two separate searches for people who entered the letter e and the letter a into that particular field. Found quite a lot of users. I went through them one by one. I found a handful of users who had dead accounts, so I blanked that data field. Found a handful whose XBL accounts had a gamerscore of zero, and hadn't logged into my forum for over 6-8 months, so I just deleted those accounts outright. However...

I found a decent amount of them who had put junk in the profile field. I cleared all that out, but kept track of it. The list of the junk data in there from about 130 profiles I looked through manually. Here's the list:

Destroy All Humans.
aweddball
no like da xbox
^eRrOR^
Nope don't got it
I don't have one
I play PS2 Online
I hate consoles!
I Use Xbox Connect
Don't have a Wii, or PS3, or any other gaming console except for the PC for that matter!
not yet
PS Network: Spyd77
A what-box?!
I have no console.

What's really interesting is right after I force ran the script, my number of users on the charts jumped from 104 to 133 immediately. It seems like something in one of the profiles I changed or deleted was sticking the script. Is it possible that fourth one was culprit? Are there any data strings that would just cause the script to flat out STOP working?

Unrelated to this, I did have a thought. What would your script do if two users put the same data in the profile field? Would it just process them anyway, or would there be a problem if two user accounts had the same XBL tag?
