Not Supported Template Edits Additional Files  

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:

Replace with:

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.

No problem!

You might want to change my field5 options back to field9 so it matches up with your example. Also as you can see from my demo it works on the normal postbit too!

psp - you quoted the wrong thing .

Anyhow, to make a transparent GIF:
  • Create New Document
  • Select 'Transparent' Background
  • Do your work
  • Save as .GIF with 'Transparency' selected

You can also use .PNG and preserve transparency .

Forgot to do so. Anyhow, its pretty much complete it seems. While we *could* probably find a way to code the rollover effect in, it seems like it would be a PiTA. Does anyone have suggestions on how to implement that?

Zachariah - forgot to click it . Oops!

No worried I have sorted it now...

Also noticed that if you have usernames with different colours that the code "Breath" posted what work!!! However to get it working you need to change:

[musername] to [username]

Here is all the code incase you are unsure as to what I mean!!

I've got it up and running on 3.5.3 here.

What's not working specifically?

Kruemel - can you send me a link to a post with it - where its not showing up? That's to the profile. While I see not reason why it WOULDN'T work on the profile - I'm just curious as to what's not showing up. Did you upload the image to the proper directory and make sure that the link in the code points there?

Don't forget to click 'install' .
