yeah a plugin system would be great, the more plugins the better ^^

Also what are the two new features going to be, sorry if that was stated already.

Hi,
You can find a pretty good list of servers here.You can also browse that website for more about the Online Status script.

Until they put a code hook in for template edits in postbit and posbit_legacy I can't do much with plugins. But 2 template edits is still better than all the code edits you would have to do on 3.0.x ;)

The features list is currently...
I have a beta build done right now, and I hope to have the stable version Friday.

hi m8...Working now....i feel a right plank...

I just went through all of this list that are online http://osi.lishdev.com/
Only to find that my MSN addy was wrong, i had .com when its .co.uk :o
I then wondered why my skype also didnt sure and then found that i had to
click the display on web box :o

I cant beleive that i really cant :o

Thanks for a great hack m8 well done :)

hey mate, I really wanted to put this hack on, but I have 3.5.1

I noticed you said it doesn't run on this anymore... is there anything I could do [extra template edits], or even an older version I could do so that I would work on 3.5.1?

thanks mate

If you look at the first post in the thread, you can use that version of 3.5.1. It doesn't have support for custom icons, however it has all the other features of the current hack.

I strongly suggest you upgrade, however, being as its so easy in 3.5.x.

Thanks,

in regards to upgrading, don't I lose all the custom template edits? coz that was the impression I had.

i've done so many edits I don't think it would be worth the hassle

No, there should be no reason you would loose template edits. Make sure to make backups of your templates, database, and forum files before you do the upgrade though. If you have any code edits however, those will have to be redone.

Noticed a couple of bugs in the template changes:

Any references to "$userinfo[username]" in the postbit and postbit_legacy replacement should read "$post[username]" instead.

Also, for the MEMBERINFO replacement, the original code isn't included in the event that IM Online Status is turned off (so you'd get nothing).

BTW, I'm going to click install for this, but I'm going to have to leave it turned off for the time being. No matter what I do (regardless of which server I use) the script will only work for AIM and for Yahoo. It won't work at all for MSN or ICQ. (I even installed the actual clients - I normally use Trillian - and made sure the settings were correct in there, to no avail.) The script probably needs to be updated to include changes in the protocol, and I'm going to leave it off until that's done.

I would appreciate it if you could keep us appraised in any updates in the situation, adb. :)

Added both to the bug fixes list for release in version 1.0.5.

This is an issue with the http://www.onlinestatus.org script apparently. I will take a look at this and get back to you, however it is not a bug with the Plugin. Does seem like a bit of a pain though :S

I have downloaded 1.04 but right now use 1.02 at my VBB v3.5.4.

I dont see upgrade directions for v1.02 to 1.04.....which one should I follow:
