Title: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: netmatrix on January 29, 2009, 11:20:32 PM
Ok here is another modification that I'm looking for, and I searched the entire site and didn't find this mod anywhere.  This is one that I had when I was using vBulletin software, and I really love this mod, because part of my forum is for my gaming clan, and other gaming related materiel.  The subject of this topic is pretty much what it is, and this is the name of the modification used for the VB mod.

DESCRIPTION:

Quote* Lists all ranked Gamertags, each updated once per day
    * Optionally show unranked Gamertags (Original Xbox Users).
    * Optionally allow Xbox Live message sending.
    * Optionally allow Xbox Live friend requests.
    * Optionally to choose how many User Names Per Page to display.
    * Optionally require a minimum post count.
    * Optionally to add a navbar link.*
    * Optionally to add a miscellaneous quick link.*
    * Choose how recently users must be active to be displayed.
    * Optionally display leaderboard statistics
    * Limit usergroups to display.
    * Limit access by usergroup.
    * Optionally display Forumhome stats
    * Optionally display Memberinfo gamercard
    * Optionally display Postbit leaderboard rank
    * Monitors invalid gamertags, 5 attempts to verify the gamertag and then the users gamertag profile field is blanked to prevent further checks.
    * Can link directly to a gamertag position in the leaderboard with gxboxlive.php?gt=Gamertag

With permission is anyone that is a member can add their gamertag to the list, but only admins are allowed to change the settings on it and make further modifications to the mod itself. 

I'm including screenshots of what it looks like and how I would like it to look on the SMF modification.  I know there is other members that will benefit for this modification as well.

I'm looking for it to be compatible with SMF version 1.1.7, 2.0 beta 4, and all other versions of the 2.0 software updated to the final release of this version.

The pictures I'm showing on here are the member's view of the software, and the admincp view of the settings.

I am willing to pay for this modification as well pay for the upgrades to the software as well.  If needed for a better idea of this modification on what it fully looks like and the options in it if anyone is willing to make this modification and need to see everything for it I can put together a VB test with this modification on there if that would help any.

I want to thank anyone that is interested in making this modification, and I am willing to pay for it if you would want the donations.

Thank You,
NetMatrix

I got looking at my finances and I would be able to pay someone to make this mod.  I can afford up to $75.00USD which I can pay through PayPal.

This is a great idea. My site would definately benefit from this as well as I also run a gaming website. I will also contribute (via PayPal) for the development of this MOD.

Pretty cool idea. Does the vB mod still work? I wonder where exactly it was pulling data from. This would have been my best bet but it hasn't been working with the GET method recently. http://www.duncanmackenzie.net/blog/put-up-a-rest-api-for-xbox-gamertag-data/default.aspx If there isn't a nice xml data source from xboxlive things get trickier.
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: JBlaze on March 25, 2009, 03:36:13 PM
Does anyone have the source code for this? If so, I can get to work!

I only ask becuase I am not finding anything on how to the stats from Xbox itself.

Post by: ricorico on March 27, 2009, 11:18:33 PM
I REALLY want this option! ive done some research to help and to keep it FREE hopefully :)

heres something i found:

Wordpress php mod open source: http://www.ardamis.com/2007/03/29/xbox-360-gamercard-wordpress-plugin/ (best bet maybe? i dont really program stuff, but it looked a lot like coding done here.)

it mentions a non wordpress downloadable to integrate into vbulletin etc.. so maybe that will help?
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: fords8 on March 28, 2009, 02:08:04 AM
That WordPress Plugin pulls the data from this link. Change XBOXLIVE USER ID to your Xbox Live ID.

http://gamercard.xbox.com/XBOXLIVE USER ID.card

I got this to work in a script block on my SMF test site with the PortaMx™ v0.957 portal using the stand alone download. But this will not list all members. Since there is no where in the member's profile to enter the Xbox ID for each user. Maybe someone can add to this and make the lay out better tho. Make it more like the one in the first post. Then make it so you can install it from the package manager.

I looked at the code for VB for this mod. I think it is way over my head for making it a SMF mod. I did ask one of the other coders on this site to have a look at it. But never heard back from him about it.

Post by: ricorico on March 29, 2009, 01:54:19 AM
heh i dont script/program, but i keep wanting to say 'it shouldnt be that hard' but yeah... if there were an option in peoples profiles where they put their gamertag in the foloowing code above could be listed and all put in 1 directory and maybe arranged by gamer points or something? i dunno.
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: netmatrix on March 29, 2009, 03:45:27 PM
you would have to add the profile field for the Xbox gamertag so that members can add their gamertag in there.  So we aren't having much luck with this yet?
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: ricorico on March 31, 2009, 12:38:19 AM
im not sure if anyone is trying. couldnt someone just port the already made preview above to smf ? wouldnt that be easier?

i paused. i dont know if anyone had done so, but i just took the liberty to go straight to the source with the pictures mentioned above i contacted the developer of that mod to see if he would make it for smf :D ill keep you posted!
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: fords8 on March 31, 2009, 02:22:41 AM
What needs to be done is the profile part needs to be done first. Once done, that info. needs to be sent to a page for all the IDs and layed out as in the pic in the 1st post.

What about using this mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1252
The mod maker would have to be asked if he will update it.

Now add the page to output it too. (We will call it xboxlivepage.php for now) Make a nice lay out of it. Add the link in the menu.

Boy, it sounds so easy typing it.  :D

EDIT: In SMF 2.0 RC1 you can turn on Advanced Profile Fields. Don't show them on forum post view. Now use that ID to pull the data somehow and make the page and lay out for it. Add link to menu.

I wonder if you could do the samething with Steam. It is possible to get 2 mods out of this maybe. Anyone want to have at this and make a mod?
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)

still no word on the developer of the one pictured above ;(

Post by: El Hadji on April 02, 2009, 09:10:53 AM
First of all I know NOTHING about coding and/or programming so bare with me if I come across as 100% stupid here...

I run a swedish SMF based Xbox 360/Xbox Live community and I am also looking for additional "Xbox-features" to add to my site. Im quite involved with Xbox and Xbox Live, being a member the Moderator team at Xbox.com and as a member of XCN - Xbox Community Network.

Regarding increased Xbox/XBL functionality on a SMF based site: Wouldn't one possible solution to the problem be to add the possibilty to log into the SMF site with a Windows Live ID instead of the normal login process?

There isn't any "leaderboard" data to extract from Xbox Live itself, since XBL doesnt keep track of online wins/losses and K/D ratios etc. Those data are stored by the gaming companies such as Activision, Bungie etc when you played ranked online matches (ranked games aren't played 100% p2p). Obtaining that kind of data and importing it into SMF would probably be almost impossible. What you could get is the type of data that Mygamercard.net presents: Achievemements, gamerscore, game progress, time spent on a game etc, etc, i.e. the information that you find on a players gamercard. With a Windows Live ID login you could get that information and also get access to messaging etc. But wether thats possible to do from a SMF point of view I don't know...

Sorry if this post was off-topic...

This would be a bridge more than anything I think. Not sure if anyone has ever tryed it with Windows Live and SMF.

What we want to do is really pull the Xbox live ID gamer cards and setup a page on our SMF sites for the info. You can add a bud from there and do a few other things.
Title: Re: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard (Free or Paid)
Post by: Flammifer on April 03, 2009, 12:17:32 AM
My impression is that the most important things this would provide are a centralize list of gamer tags of the forum members, including recently played games. The gamer pic, score and rep come along to help spice things up. If it was available data on achievements might go in there too.

The Windows Live ID might be able to show online/offline and current status. Now that would be cool. I think the user would need to turn on messenger on their xbox profile and confirm access for SMF. In which case I might suggest starting here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298463.aspx

Still, getting much stuff to work with using only generally public info doesn't look too easy to me.

All this mod does is it does in a way link to Xbox.  It just pulls the users gamertag, score, recent games, etc from the database.  I had this mod on my site when I was running VB.  It really does work perfectly.  I'll get a test site set up and everything and put a link to it on here so you will be able to see the examples and what not.  I'll also set it up to have 3 different Xbox profiles that I have but no longer use so you can see the data from what it pulls and shows.  I'll try to contact the developer of this mod on the VB team, and see what all I can get to work for us.

Here is a website that I found that has the Xboxliveleaderboard mod on it just so we can actually see an example of it in a real time forum.

No. I can modify it for my own use, but cannot distribute it without permission even with copyright intact. Submitting it as a mod is considered distribution :P

OK, well if anything, I'll just rediesign it so it's not a copy of his work.

This will take some time as I have to restructure it. So expect it not to be done for at least 1-2 months.

Sorry about this all, but it's much better to have quality work.

Okay so I can become excited now?  I like being excited.  JBlaze I will try to figure out a way to get some money to pay you for this, and maybe the other users that want this mod could help pay you for the work you will have to do.

Just wondering... is your vB license still active? Would you mind letting me get a feel for the mod the way it works on vB so I can understand it's functions better? Let me know in a PM :P

Yeah you'll have to let me get the VB set back on on my server and everything, and you can mess around with the mod all you want.

The most I can do is test it on a install on a 1.1.8 test site.  I don't know anything about script or coding so if you want to JBlaze give me a copy when you get done, and I can test it out to see how it works.

Awesome stuff on this guys. I worked with the maker of the XBOX gamertag mod to make alot of midifications to my website - I used the mod he created and made a load of custom edits and this changed the post template and the profile template for my site - not sure I can help but I don't mind testing it on me test site when the beta code is ready?

What needs to be done is the profile part needs to be done first. Once done, that info. needs to be sent to a page for all the IDs and layed out as in the pic in the 1st post.

What about using this mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1252
The mod maker would have to be asked if he will update it.

Now add the page to output it too. (We will call it xboxlivepage.php for now) Make a nice lay out of it. Add the link in the menu.

Boy, it sounds so easy typing it.  :D

EDIT: In SMF 2.0 RC1 you can turn on Advanced Profile Fields. Don't show them on forum post view. Now use that ID to pull the data somehow and make the page and lay out for it. Add link to menu.

Funny that, i was actually planning to make my own xbox leaderboard script similar to the vb one because ive already created the basis of the script for a site of mine. But i wouldn't of started work on it for SMF, till 2.0 becomes final same goes with my current mods.

So if you can pull it off JBlaze then this will be another mod off my list ;D  You probably might not think it but it may of been much easier making it from scratch though as its a fairly simple mod once you break it down but from the sound of things your not far off finishing it anyway ;)

Should be ready for testing in at least a week. As of today, Robbo_ (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=165532) is helping me out with the coding to make it more unique to SMF.

Keep your eyes peeled.

ETA: This will only be available to beta test on 1.1.x, not 2.0.
Sorry to disappoint...

Ok all, I have a semi-demo ready for yall to preview.

http://www.thedonmurpway.net/gxbl/index.php?action=gxboxlive

It's still in infancy and there is nowhere to input your gamertag in profile yet. This is just a demo to get a rough feel of what it will look like.

Again, big thanks to Robbo_ for helping me out on this one :)

Hey now why you gotta tease my computer like this.  Only 1.1.x  Oh' well that's why I'm setting up a 1.1.8 test site.  Well I did check out the demo, and it looks good so far.  Still needs a few more things to it so it looks and has the good options like the original VB version does.  It is looking really good so far JBlaze.  Keep up the good work.

Yeah I will agree that it does look really nice.  It will be even nicer when it is finished and it has everything in place.  It takes time, but a mod of this latitude takes some time to get completed.  I'm really excited for the final release of this mod after it is finished.  JBlaze your doing a great job so far.

This mod actually isn't that complicated. It is just a well presented one (well will be) which makes it look more complex to create then it actually is.

I'm pretty bored so I'm gonna keep typing and tell you what I plan to add to the mod (well help JBlaze add to the mod). Profile will show all the xbox stuff for your player with the most detail possible. Search feature (obviously). And some javascript to 'sexy' it up.

Now that I'm done typing I need to find something to do...

  • Add/Message XBL friend
  • Avatar
  • GamerCard popup on topic view
  • Profile info
  • Leaderboard (Gamerscore/Avatar/Zone/GamerTag/Recent Played/Last Online/etc...)
  • Many more...

Possibly but the edits I made are tailored to my site and I think although your mod will be great the mods I made will not be part of it so I would still need to modify things once it is installed

For example the XBLGT does not popup on profile, the Avatar is used on member profiles as is the gamercard and others - I guess I'll have to try it out and hopefully you might be able to help impleement it once its ready?

I would appreciate that loads :)

If you need another site to test this mod on, feel free to contact me: elhadji(at)xboyz.se. The site is a part of the Xbox Community Network and I have had plans to change from SMF to another platform because of the lack of Xbox LIVE functionality, but now maybe I dont have to  :D . Im really looking forward to seeing this mod in action!

Keep up the good work!

Well it looks like this was a good mod to request.  It may keep someone in the SMF family.  I know I know I'm awesome.

Yeah JBlaze that really does suck with having those forum attacks, and then having to deal with them. 

I did come up with another idea though.  I don't know how hard this would be to do or anything.  I was looking at your site and say the theme on there, and I was wondering how hard or even if it would look good having the Xbox header from the Xbox theme or something like that implanted at the top of the leader board to give it more of a look.

Development of this mod is being put on hold... yet again.

Sorry, but other things have come up and I can't give my full attention to the development of this mod.

Well sadly my test site is currently down do to server issues, and have no idea when it will be back up and running.  So when this mod is ready for testing I may not be able to test it out right away.

No worries. Ill have a demo site for everyone

Post by: netmatrix on May 28, 2009, 08:45:01 PM
the olus side is my site is back and the demo site is also back up and running.  So I can play with the beta as far as settings and everything goes to let you know if it is working correctly or not.

Ok well I know I already said this in the last reply that I put in here, but I'm going to say it again.  My site is completely set up for the test site for this modification once it is in beta and ready to be tested.  I have also moved to another server as well so I will be able to test other mods that are created IF the author would like me to do so.  Keep up the good work with this modification.  I know that JBlaze stated that this mod would be out for us a an earlier point in time, but he has stated that he has some other important things going on so we just have to wait and be patient about this.  Keep up the good work JBlaze, and we know that we will have a great modification when it is completed.Now I would like to post in here a few suggestion about the top of the leaderboard page that maybe a Xbox picture, COD picture, or have a couple different downloads with different pictures that you can use to your prefrenence.  Just a few ideas that I came up with to make this modification stand out more since it has had many views on this.  Now once this modification is completed to the gold edition I will be starting a new modification request with a modification that can be added to this modification where the two will work together.  However, I won't be able to make a request for it since I need this modification to be completed, and so I can also write what and how it will need to be built to work in with the other modification.

Nope. Not one bit.

It's a simple URL that is cached once each day with the stats from each player. This is done via a cron job. Do basically, all that has to be changed is the URL and the variables that Xbox.com is using :)

But, development has slowed because of lack of time.

I know there hasn't been given the time to complete this mod JBlaze, but in time when you are able to complete the modification (portal) for this mod into the SMF software it will be a great mod, and will be widely used by many users of the SMF software.  Take your time completeing it; there is never a rush to get these done since this is a volenteer activity and things outside of here has to come first.  I do personally and I'm sure a lot of others are also thankful to you for taking on this modification.  I know this was a huge task to take on, and from the preview you have so far on the DEMO site that you stated previous posts before you are doing a great job with it.  Thank you once again JBlaze.

Watching and waiting.
This mod could help my forum/site a hell of a lot.

Could up the good work guys n gals.
This could be one of the most wanted and used codes on SMF if you can pull it off.

Hi JBlaze - will this topic still be updated when mod is properly released?

BTW from what I have seen the leaderboard looks smart - I am thinking of upgrading to SMF 2.0 once it is properly launched so this would be one of the welcome changes.

Probably will be over a month before I can do anything more.
