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

I have noticed this also, go to www.onlinestatus.org and you will find a list of servers, to make it more reliable you are best of creating your own online status server

I have an idea for this hack

You can create a new vBulletin option which you enter the server address, so if a server didn't work, you can change the server address easily

thats not what i mean. what i mean is when u selecy whos online to show list of currently active users on vb there is a section that shows the icons if they are added vy the user in there CP like if they have aim or msn etc. I want to be able for these icons to as well be listed as online or offline.

Just to simply use the icons go to

Who's Online Templates/whosonlinebit and find at the end of the template:

	<if condition="$vboptions['showimicons']">
		<td class="alt2" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
			$userinfo[aimicon]
			$userinfo[icqicon]
			$userinfo[msnicon]
			$userinfo[yahooicon]
		</td>
	</if>
	
</tr>

replace with:

<! --Who's Online - Online Status Start --- !>
<! -- by Beermonster --- !>
<!-- http://www.onlinestatus.org/ -->
<td class="alt2" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
  
   <if condition="$userinfo['msnicon']">
<img border=0 src="http://osi.kanadian.net:8080/msn/$userinfo[msn]" alt="$userinfo[msn]">
</if></a>
  <if condition="$userinfo['yahooicon']">
<img border=0 src="http://osi.kanadian.net:8080/yahoo/$userinfo[yahoo]" alt="$userinfo[yahoo]"></a>
</if>
    <if condition="$userinfo['aimicon']">
<img border=0 src="http://osi.kanadian.net:8080/aim/$userinfo[aim]" alt="$userinfo[aim]"></a>
</if>
  
<if condition="$userinfo['icqicon']">
<img border=0 src="http://osi.kanadian.net:8080/icq/$userinfo[icq]" alt="$userinfo[icq]"></a>
</if>
