[vbhacker/manual]MSN Hack
 

hey all, I've looked for something like this but never found it..yeah, there's some out that lets you click on and start chaten, but can you add them?? with this hack, witch came from wBB by Manix, you can put in your e-mail address for MSN Messenger and you can click on the chat which you can talk to him or you can add him with one click, then by clicking Next>Next.

I've included a install.txt (in cause you want to install it on your own) and MSNHack.hack.php (if you want to do it the fast, simple way).

this hack took me awhile to convert and I'll understand if it doesn't work, so if it doesn't work, let me know so I can see if I could fix it.

UPDATED VERSION!!

This updated version addes the MSN thing in the mod section, and it also cleans up some confusion in the codes. No, there isn't any vbhacker file in this one... the reason for this is because it's the maker that messed up with the codes in the first place *kicks vbhackermaker*

and another thing, you don't need to add the stuff to the postbit or whoisonline or something if you don't want to use the images, and if you find it annoying that AIM (yes, I expremented with that happening) or MSN opening, just remove the code that's below the footer, it should get ride of that happening.

u should have tested this first or put it in the beta forum then, i will try it anyways ;)

i had errors.. the query could not be run..

couldn't find the code in register.php, announcement.php

and it screwed up my functions.php

Have you got any screen shots? This looks like what I might want, so I may test it on my demo board.

It works, it's just that the codes might be different in everyones PHP file and/or template files.

the SQL query sould be:

[sql]
ALTER TABLE user ADD msn varchar(20) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL
[/sql]

for some reason, vbhackmaker wanted to put \ in random spots, so you might have to edit it manually but it should work, all I did was copy the code for AIM and change it to MSN and such.

you can see it in action by going to by board (I'm the only one that's using it right now cuz no one on my board knows about it because they don't go there often), I also have some screen shots.

here's a screen shot of the postbit

here's one of the user profile

Have you got it where I can assign it to any image (button) without that chat part? I just want ot have it open up whatver and add that users name to the buddies list. I tried it with the VBScript, but I don't know VBScript enough to make it work. :)

BTW: What would happen if someone clicked on it and didn't have msn installed or use msn messeneger. Would it give them an error?

if you want to change the way the button is and such, just edit the msn template, that's where the buttons are. if all you want is the add user one, remove the first link from the msn template ;)

to my understanding, when I had my MSN Messenger loged off, it didn't do anything, so it should be the same if they didn't have it installed.

Bingo! It works great! Is there any way to get it to do the same thing for Trillian? I use that and I know a lot of other people do too. Also, would there be a way to have it come up with some sort of error box to tell you that you need to have MSN installed and running? It opened up MSN Messeneger when I loaded the page. Is there any way to not have it open it up if it is not running? That might be kindof annoying. :)

I do not know if you could do that, but I can take a look ;)
