Add Skype/Xfire/Google Talk to IM List

Well first off I would like to thank burnist for allowing me to re-release this hack as a product and change a few things so it will work with xfire and google talk also. Here is the original hack by burnist Add Skype To IM List.

The code is almost the same with very few changes all i really did was automate the query and adding the templates and added prases to it but you will still need to edit a few templates and have 1 file edit ONLY IF you want this feature.

Title: Add Skype/Xfire/Google Talk to IM List

Function: Adds a listings for Skype/Xfire/Google Talk along side the instant messengers in the profile, memberlist, postbit and Who's Online (WOL requires file edit)

Installation: - Load The XML file in the Product manager
- Upload im_skype.gif/im_xfire.gif/im_gt.gif to images/misc
- Do Template Edits
- WOL addition is listed in the Thread
- If it becomes available the WOL will be added by a hook (future version)
- Tested on vB 3.5 GOLD

OPTIONAL FILE MOD IF YOU WANT THIS FEATURE!!!

The following will add Skype/Xfire/Google Talk to the Who's Online IM list, it was not included in the hack file as it requires file edits and the rest of the add-on uses hooks so you can add this at your own discretion.

Depending on which version you install you will need to change a few things in the file edit.

I have a few IM chat programs that I really want to add.

(ps. hello is cool. but they really need to get conference chat. :ermm: )

[NuclioN]

I'm confused! I'm getting this window when clicking on the skypebutton in postbit:

Send Message Via Skype to username (xxx)
To add user click Add Contact in the upper left corner of the Skype window and enter the users name listed above.
These functions require that you have Skype installed on your computer for them to function. You can get Skype Here.

It should give the other popup with all the skype message functions right? How to get this popup window?

[Chadi]

Not sure why but after uploading (importing) xml and template edits, the 3 are missing from profile edit. I am positive I added the template modifications correctly. Any hints?

[cdoyle]

great hack, thanks INSTALLED

[cdoyle]

I just noticed something, if you view the 'who's online' page. The new icons don't apear there. What template would I update, so they are included there too?

[GetGamer.com]

I'm having one small problem with this mod. I've installed only the Google Talk addition (I'm running vBulletin 3.5.3) and everything works great but one thing. When you click the Google Talk icon in the postbit, WOL, or member profile, the sendmessage.php only includes the im_send_gt template. Any ideas why?

[BENSTER]

This worked out very well for Xfire, but the icons do not show for skype, Google talk, or Xfire before this change. Both user cp and Post bit legacy only display the original icons. IE shows a place holder for the images, Firefox displays text. Did I miss something with the included install text?

Template im_xfire

<a href="#" onclick="xfirewindow($userinfo[userid], 500, 260); return false;"><img src="http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/3/$userinfo[xfire].png" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_xfire_to_x]</phrase>" width=149 height=29 border=0></a>

then just move the $post[xfireicon] to just below the closing </div> tag holding the IM icons.

[Felan]

for vb 3.5.4 googletalk hack?

[hydn]

great hack! installed.

quick question

since there's so many IM softwares our there is there a generic general add IM hack that can be alltered with the IM_custom.gif and also by reprasiing the popup box etc?

[WNxWakko]

How do I add the xfire portion to the membersearch screen. I tried a few things but I could not get it to search the field.
