How to link sourcebans to hlstatsx

[nG|NightLinks]

Why link sourcebans to hlstatsx? To make it easy for admins to flag players in hlstatsx. When an admin bans a player from the game server or through sourcebans website. The admins click on the player's steam id then it re-direct the admin to the hlstatsx search result page with the players nickname, unique id, hlstatsx id and the game they were playing.

Here's how to link sourcebans to hlstatsx page.

Login / connect to the ftp of where you have sourcebans installed then find your way to the theme that you are currently using. Inside the theme that you are currently using look for a file called "page_bans.tpl". You can either edit the file through ftp with your ftp program or you can download the file to your computer.

If you downloaded the file open the file with wordpad or if you already have "page_bans.tpl" open search for a block that looks like the one in the quote box below.

<!-- ###############[ End Admin Controls ]##################### -->
</tr>
<tr align="left">
<td width="20%" height="16" class="listtable_1">Steam ID</td>
<td height="16" class="listtable_1">
{if empty($ban.steamid)}
<i><font color="#677882">no Steam ID present</font></i>
{else}
{$ban.steamid}
{/if}
</td>

You are going to replace the BOLD part only with the code that's in the quote box below.

<a href="http://YOURHLSTATSXADDRESSHERE.com/hlstats.php?mode=search&q={$ban.steamid}&st=uniqueid&game=">{$ban.steamid}</a>

Now all you need to do is to replace "YOURHLSTATSXADDRESSHERE.com" with your domain name.

NOTE: If your hlstatsx is at http://YOURHLSTATSXADDRESSHERE.com/STATS/hlstats.php then you need replace it with "http://YOURHLSTATSXADDRESSHERE.com/STATS/".

<tr align="left">
<td width="20%" height="16" class="listtable_1">Steam ID</td>
<td height="16" class="listtable_1">
{if empty($ban.steamid)}
<i><font color="#677882">no Steam ID present</font></i>
{else}
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://noobgamers.com/hlstatsx/hlstats.php?mode=search&amp;q={$ban.steamid}&amp;s t=uniqueid&amp;game=">{$ban.steamid}</a>
{/if}
</td>

It should look something like the quote box above when you are done adding your domain name.

In the quote box above i added the domain name to the noobgamers hlstatsx page as an example of the way it should look it once you are done.

Once you have done editing the "page_bans.tpl" file save it and upload it back to the themes folder that you are currently using.

Go test it out.

The above guide was written for hlxce but you can also do it to work with hlstatsx.com premium. Do the same steps as above but change the URL link so that it points to your hlstatsx.com premium website. In subdomainname change it to your hlstatsx.com subdomain name example... noobgamers.hlstatsx.com

http://subdomainname.hlstatsx.com/?mode=search&q={$ban.steamid}&st=uniqueid&game=

<!-- ###############[ End Admin Controls ]##################### -->
</tr>
<tr align="left">
<td width="20%" height="16" class="listtable_1">Steam ID</td>
<td height="16" class="listtable_1">
{if empty($ban.steamid)}
<i><font color="#677882">no Steam ID present</font></i>
{else}
<a rel="nofollow"http://subdomainname.hlstatsx.com/?mode=search&q={$ban.steamid}&st=uniqueid&game=">{ $ban.steamid}</a>
{/if}
