Cool plugin, I’ve modified the php to bring it inline with the new gamercards and have it working on my wordpress blog :)

I will post my changes if you want to add them into your plugin?

Hi, i’ve been using this plugin for some time since like 2 years or so, and everything was just fine but as you might know the gamercard has been redesigned recently, and the script stopped fetching data as it should.

I tried examining the changed html code in the card page and modify the preg_match part accordingly, but can’t seem to make it work again no matter what I do.

Honestly I haven’t ever properly studied PHP so it might be that I’m missing some really simple thing, but from what I understand now I think it’s the preg_match part that I’m doing wrong… how do you write regular expressions for html codes that are multi-lined?

So say the new html code for the gamer picture part is:

writing

preg_match('#width="64" height="64" src="(.+?)" alt="" title=""/>#',$in, $gamertile1);

doesn’t seem to catch it, because of the line break and space inbetween /> and …or at least that’s what I think, since trying it out in here (http://www.switchplane.com/utilities/preg_match-regular-expression-tester.php?pattern=&subject=) didn’t work either.

I’m sure you’re busy with your work and all, but I’d be very grateful if you’d kindly took some time to look over this. Thanks in advance!

A few things here:

You need to include a CSS file to style the gamertag.

The script uses the rep stars at http://www.xbox.com/xweb/xbox/xboxV2/images/gc_repstars_V2Shell_.png

Microsoft has totally revamped the way the mini gamercard looks since I wrote that script, and they’ve taken down those rep star images – which is why you’re not seeing them.

The script would have to be rewritten to use something like http://live.xbox.com/xweb/lib/images/MyXbox/repstars20.png

But I don’t have the time to do that right now.

Can someone tell me why this isn’t working?
Lukegrill’s code worked for this –
http://gagefaulkner.com/newdirectory/cgi-bin/xbox-gamercard-standalone.php?tag=XiL+Destruction

However, the image isn’t showing up… it is just a bunch of jumbled words.
Can someone help me?

I actually fixed it.

Just added the line:

$tag= $_GET['tag'];

You might want to post this for anybody else who wants to get the same functionality.
Thanks again for a great script! superb!

Hi Ardemis, great script. Thanks you so much for relesing it.
I have a question however that i hope you can answer.
I’ve uploaded the script to my server, lets say it’s http://www.mysite.com/scripts/gamercard.php
I’ve tried going to the url http://www.mysite.com/scripts/gamercard.php?tag=MYGAMERTAG but it keeps showing ‘ardemis’ gamertag, it’s not picking up the ?tag=

Any idea why it’s doing this?

Many Thanks

The link to each persons avatar is…

This may have been cover in other comments above but as I’ve not got time to read them all I’ll post it anyway.

The path to the Reputation images has changed to the following:

http://live.xbox.com/xweb/lib/images/MyXbox/repstars20.png

Just need to amend line 124 to the following:

$navgamerrep = “http://live.xbox.com/xweb/lib/images/MyXbox/repstars” . $gamerrep . “.png”;

Awesome plugin, that is all!
