Get MOTD from url.
« on: June 29, 2015, 02:32:20 PM »
MOTD settings. Get MOTD from url is greyed out. :o

Please help me. Explain best you can because I'm new. But still experienced enough to figure this out.

It's very likely a bug- people have been reporting issues with MOTD settings in XGUI as of late- I just haven't had time to take a look at them yet.

For now, you can set the MOTD URL via console, like so:
Code: [Select]
ulx showMotd http://www.google.com/
.. OR if you're feeling adventurous, you can modify your server's garrysmod/data/ulx/config.txt and set the URL there.

Tried both, both failed.

Enabled Motd to open upon join, resets.

Set showMotd to url in console:

I'm having this issue on my server, as well. The code hasn't been edited in quite a while and worked previously, however the MOTD now shows up as a blank grey box identical to the one in the screenshot that Kerrigan provided.

I registered on these forums hoping to find a solution, but this is the first mention of the issue that I've found and it's gone unaddressed.

Has any progress been made?

Took me a while to get around to it- but I finally pushed a fix for this! Sorry about that.
