Online Status for ICQ, MSN, AIM & Yahoo

Quick hack to display your members online status for ICQ, MSN, AIM and Yahoo in their postbit, of cause your members have to fill in their profile for the icon to display.

Time to install: 30 secs

Template edit: Postbit/postbit_legacy

If you use it please click install


Update: I've attached an updated file thanks to COBRAws @ vbhacks.us for making the changes, now you can send the user a message by clicking on their icon.

Replace everything between <! -- Online Status Start --- !> & <! -- Online Status End --- !> with the new code


UPDATE: v3 This update will give you the option in AdminCP/vbulletin options/Display Thread Options (showthread) to quickly change your server address. Thanks to PitchouneN64ngc for the additional code

A list of servers can be found @ www.onlinestatus.org

Having 4 columns for the online/offline status is too long when users enter all 4 of the instant messages programs. I have tried changing it to 2 columns and two rows but it keeps buggering up the display of the forum, would someone be able to change this code so it will have 2 columns and 2 rows please.

You could always put it in your posts, I find it a lot neater, see attached picture.

In postbit/postbit_legacy find

				<if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong></if>
			</div>

And below add

<! --- Online Status --- !>
<! --- by Beermonster - Edited by COBRAws --- !>
<!--- http://www.onlinestatus.org/ -->
<table align="right" border="0">
<div valign="top">

  <tr>
    <if condition="$post['icqicon']">
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 500, 450)">
<img border=0 src="http://mightymichelob.tcworks.net:8080/icq/$post[icq]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_icq_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</td></if>
    <if condition="$post['msnicon']">
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('msn', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">
<img border=0 src="http://mightymichelob.tcworks.net:8080/msn/$post[msn]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_msn_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
