Making progress...
I am working with an XFIRE modder (gammast) who wrote a XFIRE PLUS module that will allow people to add people to their buddy list via:
xfireb://<nickname>
The plugin works great - so here's what I want to do:
1) Use the add buddy feature provided by this plugin and
2) drop the messaging feature and offer a download link for this plugin instead
Here's what I've done so far:
took a copy of the im_aim template, made a new template called im_xfire and modified the code as follows:
Code:
<a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('xfire', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_xfire.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_xfire_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
Then I took the im_send_aim template, copied and made a im_send_xfire template, and modified the code as follows:
Code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><a href="#" onclick="self.close()">$vbphrase[close_this_window]</a></span>
$vbphrase[field5]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
<div class="panel">
<div align="$stylevar[left]">
<div class="fieldset">
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]" 2="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_xfire_to_x_link]</phrase> (<strong>$userinfo[field5]</strong>)
</div>
<div class="fieldset"><a href="xfireb://$userinfo[field5]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[field5]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_your_contact_list]</phrase></a></div>
<div align="center">Click <a href="http://www.doomsdaywarriors.com/downloads/XfireBInstall.exe">here</a> to install the XFIRE Plus module needed to add buddies via a web interface.</div>
<div class="fieldset">
$vbphrase[these_functions_require_xfire]
</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Then I went into the MEMBERINFO template and changed the code as follows:
from:
Code:
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[instant_messaging]</legend>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">
<if condition="$userinfo['showicq']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[icqicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 500, 450)">$userinfo[icq]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showaim']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[aimicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('aim', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[aim]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showmsn']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[msnicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[msn]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showyahoo']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[yahooicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('yahoo', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[yahoo]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['field5']">
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_xfire.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[view_xfire_profile]</phrase>" border="0" /></td>
<td><a href="http://www.xfire.com/xf/modules.php?name=XFire&file=profile&uname=$userinfo[field5]" target="_blank">$userinfo[field5]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</fieldset>
to:
Code:
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[instant_messaging]</legend>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">
<if condition="$userinfo['showicq']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[icqicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 500, 450)">$userinfo[icq]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showaim']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[aimicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('aim', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[aim]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showmsn']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[msnicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[msn]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['showyahoo']">
<tr>
<td>$userinfo[yahooicon]</td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('yahoo', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[yahoo]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['field5']">
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_xfire.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[view_xfire_profile]</phrase>" border="0" /></td>
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('xfire', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">$userinfo[field5]</a></td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</fieldset>
Problem:
all looks good - but it does not seem to use the im_xfire or im_send_xfire templates like I planned. Instead it pulls up a MSN popup window.
Where do I need to add a template for this new XFIRE popup?
update:
found some arrary entries I needed to add in /forums/sendmessage.php and /forums/online.php where I needed to insert im_xfire and im_send_xfire - but I still can't get it to pull up the proper XFIRE popup....
update2:
did a search for all the im_aim references in the vB build using textpad and found these results:
announcement.php(34): 'im_aim',
member.php(37): 'im_aim',
memberlist.php(40): 'im_aim',
online.php(34): 'im_aim',
private.php(55): 'im_aim',
showpost.php(34): 'im_aim',
showthread.php(37): 'im_aim',
usernote.php(39): 'im_aim',
includes\functions_showthread.php(47): eval('$userinfo[\'aimicon\'] = "' . fetch_template('im_aim') . '";');
in these files I added a
'im_xfire',
entry into all the pages that had arrays defined for the im_xxx templates
the only one that gave me trouble was the one in the includes folder (functions_showthread.php)
Here is is listing entries for each IM - using AIM as an example:
Code:
if ($userinfo['aim'] != '' AND ($vboptions['showimicons'] OR $ignore_off_setting))
{
eval('$userinfo[\'aimicon\'] = "' . fetch_template('im_aim') . '";');
$userinfo['showaim'] = true;
$show['hasimicons'] = true;
}
else
{
$userinfo['aimicon'] = '';
$userinfo['showaim'] = false;
}
So I entered a couple of lines after the AIM entry and added this:
Code:
if ($userinfo['field5'] != '' AND ($vboptions['showimicons'] OR $ignore_off_setting))
{
eval('$userinfo[\'xfireicon\'] = "' . fetch_template('im_xfire') . '";');
$show['hasimicons'] = true;
}
leaving out the
Code:
$userinfo['field5'] = true;
line since it changed my field5 value to "1" since it was "true"
I'm not very good at php coding - what should this be changed to so it fetches the im_xfire template properly? All it really needs to do is check for a field5 value and if its present, fetch the template right?
