Module CMPS: MSN Messenger Login
This is a handy module to let you log into MSN from internet caf?s that happen to have forgotten to install MSN Messenger.
The hack goes onto the VbAdvanced main page as a module , so if you dont have VbAdvabced , this is not for you ... but take a look at post 8 and Post 34 and it explains how to put it onto forumhome It uses EMessenger , its not exactly the neatest in the world , but it works fine. 1. Upload the attached file on the right (msn.php) into your /modules Folder. 2. Upload the attached image at the bottom (msn.gif) into your /images folder. 3. Create a new template (Style & Templates - Style Manager - Add a template) called adv_portal_msn with the following code: Code:
<tr> 4. Add a module. In Vba CPMS - add module select add a module - PHP file : Module Title : Msn Messenger Column : Left Column (or where you wish) Active : Yes Update all pages : As Required File to include : msn.php Parent Module : none Identifier : msn Templates Used : adv_portal_msn The rest is up to yourself. This hack should allow members who have their msn address filled in to sign in using any state (online/busy/away etc etc) but only allows non members to sign in as Online. It doesnt require the members to give their msn login details as it asks on the page for that info , and it pops up a new page for the Emessenger. This is version 1.0 of this hack - it works fine on my boards (3.5.4 with vBadvanced CMPS v2.0.0 ) but hasnt been tested on others , but any improvments or requests will be considered. (I have tried windows messenger and failed , so if someone can suggest how to use that instead, id be delighted). Added -

If you just use the Code above and ignore the msn.php - im sure you could re-write it to fit into one of the existing templates on VBB - it would be pretty much the exact same code , just with different tables to make it fit better. I just didnt know where to put it on a non VBB page - possibly Forumhome at the bottom somewhere |
is it possible to do this for Yahoo! and the others ?
or using Meebo.com |
what a nice hack ... installed and worked good .
but just a Q . is our pw secure ? |
The system uses EMessenger - they are established and passwords are as secure as they can be online. Its not logged on anyones server ever , so as such yes the passwords are secure.
There is also the option of using the secure server , which wont really make much difference to be honest. This system would be almost exactly the same as using the emessenger site itself to log in - the form sends the info directly to them to log you in - any coder can check the form script and know its all ok. |

heres a quick rendering of a yahoo code for you ... might be worth getting your own yahoo image cause i rushed that. do pretty much the same steps as above for msn : 1. Upload the attached file at the bottom (yahoo.php) into your /modules Folder. 2. Upload the attached image at the bottom (yahoo.gif) into your /images folder. 3. Create a new template (Style & Templates - Style Manager - Add a template) called adv_portal_yahoo with the following code: Code:
<tr> 4. Add a module. In Vba CPMS - add module select add a module - PHP file : Module Title : Yahoo Messenger Column : Left Column (or where you wish) Active : Yes Update all pages : As Required File to include : yahoo.php Parent Module : none Identifier : yahoo Templates Used : adv_portal_yahoo That should do it for the yahoo login.I dont have yahoo myself , so as u can see in the screenshot , it wont supply my yahoo login ID, but if i had one when signing up for the boards , it would auto populate that for me. |
If you wish to use Forumhome as a place to put this , and you dont have VBa - then you could try this- though i dont think its anyway near as nice ....
Open the FORUMHOME template and find : Code:
<td class="smallfont"> $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td> Code:

Thanks DJ :)

Im on holidays in Lanzarote at the moment , so its only a brief jump in and out of the net , but i may take a longer look at that site when i return and see if i can come up with an alternative system thats similar to that, but no promises .. digging out the coding can be very difficult sometimes. |
Quote:
can we get a screenshot for how this looks? |
awesome! any hopes of getting this for google talk?
|
Nice one! Installed

yeah - its just a matter of putting the code into your forumhome and looking at it , but heres a look for the lazy people out there :p |
Quote:
I checked out the code for the place briefly last night and i got all bogged down in it , which i didnt like while on holidays in the sun , so i decided to skip it. Ill take a better look when i get back to the emerald isle cause theres not much else to do in Ireland when its raining out :D If i can get a working version running for GTalk , ill let you know. :D |
Quote:
Should fit in neater once you do that , but it seems to be working away anyway - hope the members like it. (if your not irish , ignore the rest) T? s? go maith go bhfuil daoine eile as Eire ar an ait seo ! |

Its possible to alter the tables if you know even basic HTML (which i assume you do) and make it look differently , as long as the <form> information is kept intact, so it is possibly to change it around , though this was just designed as a module for VBA , so i wont be messing about with a design for the forumhome , i'll leave that up to individuals, but if any do , i'd be delighted if they shared the look and how they did it. |
Can you make this work with Xfire? http://www.xfire.com

Thanks for this MOD :)
|
I know a lot of people at my job has yahoo messenger blocked or can't install it on their system. Is this a method of getting around that? Something like yahoo's online java script version?
|
Nice one! Any chance to have the MSN and Yahoo merged into one block? Maybe with a dropdown box, where my users could choose their messie ...

It would be handy because i could put msn, yahoo and aim into the same options dropdown and it would make life easier for users and look neater. I'll be home after sunday , and i have a few things to sort out , but ill do some research then on it. Good Suggestion |
Thanks for the hack! :)
|
Can someone tell me how cam i make this horizonal??
|
Quote:
What space are you allowing for, and where are you planning to put it ? |
under the whats going on..

|
Quote:
Id love the code for that if you wouldnt mind - Great job on it , well done !! |
Open the FORUMHOME template and find :
Code:
<!-- end what's going on box --> Code:
<!-- start of msn login window --> To remove one of them just delete the code from <!-- start of XXXX login window --> TO <!-- end of XXXX login window --> |
Thanks for that - im sure more people will have an interest in the hack now !
|
Yeap its more effective now..i have added in my site for live test take a look at www.rmxs.gr/Vb/index.php at the bottom..

If you open that and scroll to the very bottom of it , you should have that text , delete and and you should be away and working with none of that. I think when you cut and paste you got that little bit of text at the bottom of your template by accident. Let me know how things go - nice looking site by the way, i like it. |
