Export an AIM/MSN Buddy List!
2.2.x | by Velocd

Install time: 5 minutes
Template edits: 1 (usercp_buddymasspmlink)
File modifications: 1 (usercp.php)
New files: 1 (exportlist.php)


What is it?
The quick and easy way to export buddies on your site who carry either or both AIM/MSN handles. Just click on either the AIM/MSN link, and download a very small file that can be loaded into the application, automatically adding the buddies.

It's basically a more convenient and faster way, then say, adding each screen-name individually. ;)


Prerequisites:
Not totally required, but if you want to get the MSN export feature as well, you will have to install this hack to get the MSN field:

Screenshots? Demo's?
No demo's, but you can find a screenshot in the next post.

Instructions?
See install.txt, inside the zip.

Notes:
If anybody knows if Yahoo/ICQ has a buddylist exporting/importing feature, and could supply me with one of the files, please do and I'll accommodate this hack with those apps as well ^_^

If you use this hack, please remember to click install! :p

Suggestions and comments are always welcomed.

Look good!

I m going to install this hack tmw morning.

Great job

Good Hack

this is sooo cool :D

Velocd, is there a way to make it so the user downloading the file can just double-click on it and the application will automatically import it, or even have it so they can open the file when downloading it and have it do it that way?

Yea.. it should automatically do that. ;)
If you have the application installed, by opening up the downloaded file it should be added to your messanger buddy list right away.

Ok, that must be it. I have it installed but I didn't have it running in the tray. Sorry about that. :)
