Instant Messaging Status Icon

[LeaderGL]

Hi,
i'm an Italian boy and this is my first hack on vBulletin Forum.

What this does:
It's a little mod to add in User Description Bar the real status of IM.

How:
1) Go in your "Admin Control Panel" -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template
2) Now search "Instant Messaging Template" and expand it.

We should modify: im_aim, im_icq, im_msn, im_yahoo

Go in im_aim:
Replace all text with:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('aim', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;"><img src="http://www.the-server.net:8001/aim/$userinfo[aim]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_aim_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>


Go in im_icq:
Replace all text with:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 500, 450); return false;"><img src="http://www.the-server.net:8001/icq/$userinfo[icq]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_icq_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>


Go in im_msn:
Replace all text with:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;"><img src="http://www.the-server.net:8001/msn/$userinfo[msn]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_msn_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>


Go in im_yahoo:
Replace all text with:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('yahoo', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;"><img src="http://www.the-server.net:8001/yahoo/$userinfo[yahoo]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_yahoo_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

Doesn't work.

A bunch of members who ARE on-line show up as not.

[Tralala]

This all relies on some external server (the-server.net), yes? What happens when that server is unresponsive, down or whatever?

[COBRAws]

this is a port, why dont u say? I helped with the original 3.0

Just for comparison's sake, how is this different from this hack:

Sorry, i know this site: http://www.the-server.net:8001/ and from this i get the code to show right image and then i've changed the original vBulletin code in this way:

Original Code:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_msn.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_msn_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>


With new code:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;"><img src="http://www.the-server.net:8001/msn/$userinfo[msn]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_msn_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>


The only difference is in the "IMG SRC" code that now load right status icon from the site...:

Original:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_msn.gif" ...

New:
<img src="http://www.the-server.net:8001/msn/$userinfo[msn]" ...

This https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101437 is a PlugIn so more invasive....my hack is equal to original expect for the Image Source...i've only MSN Messenger Account and i tested it and work....

Thanks man it seems to work fine now.

I've changed some code, with this new code you use the appropiate status indication (icq from icq server, yahoo from yahoo server, only msn is on the-server.net):

ICQ:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 450, 420); return false;"><img src="http://web.icq.com/whitepages/online?icq=$userinfo[icq]&amp;img=5" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_icq_to_x]</phrase>" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='http://www.the-server.net:8001/image/icqunknown.gif';" border="0" /></a>



MSN:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 205); return false;"><img src="http://www.the-server.net:8002/msn/$userinfo[msn]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_msn_to_x]</phrase>" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='http://www.the-server.net:8002/image/msnunknown.gif';" border="0" /></a>



YAHOO:

<a href="#" onclick="imwindow('yahoo', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 150); return false;"><img src="http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=$userinfo[yahoo]%40yahoo.it&m=g&t=1" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_yahoo_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

are at present offline!!!!
