[RELEASE vB 2.0] MSN Message Center like available on http://www.msn.com

I could manage to implement the Messege Center from msn.com to vBulletin.
It doesn't work yet like the online indicators for Yahoo or ICQ, but that can perhaps be added by editing the VBS file.

Anyway, it offers the function to access your hotmail account, to create a new one, to download MSN Messenger, to start it and viewing the contacts in real time (without to have to refresh the page).

You can look at it here:

I'm currently writing the instructions how to install it!


But before I release it I need to know one thing:

If someone has the MSN Messenger NOT installed, please go to our site and tell me if there is a link shown where you can download it!
I don't want to uninstall it just to see if it works!

Perhaps you use Netscape?

It looks like it only works with IE (perhaps Opera).

Also give me an URL where I can look at the result of your hacking!

Well, im using IE (MSN messenger = Microsoft Network messenger so its bound not to work in netscape )

My url is http://www.zpicz.f2s.com/forum/ and i have had other people look at it and they say it has had no effect either...

thanx for your help

Great Hack !

I used 10mins to finish this hack

mikezs, there is a script error on your page!

Do you use any other Javascripts?

I seemed to have got it to work now

1. I just copyed the contents on messengecentre.php to the end of the script (instead of the include).

2. I added the stuff that was supposed to go in the "messagecentre" template into the forumhome template, and it all worked

I have no idea what the javascript error was... Try pressing refresh+[shift], f2s has been slightly dodgy with dealing out files (you might get index.php but not msn.vbs

Thanx alot 4 all your help

i have more or less the same problem as mikezs although it seems to be intermittant (thats prob. spelt wrong).

I have no script errors or anything and i followed the instructions exactly.

It seems to only appear every now and again, always appears when i click 'Mark All Forums Read', until i refresh or something and then it goes again .

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, Thanks!

forget that, sorted now .

It wont work just using the method in the instructions (unless i read wrong) so i had to do some more editing of the 'ForumHome'.

Thanks anyway!

TOP HACK

I read the intructiosn again and look if there is an error!

You know, when you write such instructions you sometimes forget to explain things which are totally clear to you, but the reader can't know!

Hmm

I have only the variable $messagecenter added to my forumhome template and everything works!

And that step is explained in the instructions!

Christian:
Need some help I want to add something to your hack.

If you go to my site at http://forums.realwebhost.net
go to the bottom you will see your message center.
I have a news/stock quote script from msn that I have on one
of my other sites. I want to add it in the same table with the messagecenter to right. There is alot of empty space there. I believe I would have to add it to your messagecenter template somehow. If I show you the script could you help or look at it?
