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

This is not a problem with the hack it's a problem with MSN it works with some people and not with others, one thing you can try is go to your MSN prefs in the privacy tab you will see there's a list of users that can see your online status, "all other users" needs to be in the allowed box.

A really quick way of doing it would be this:-

In MEMBERINFO

Find:

<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>
				</table>

And replace with:

<! --- Online Status --- !>
<! --- by Beermonster - Edited by COBRAws & PitchouneN64ngc--- !>
<!--- http://www.onlinestatus.org/ -->
<table width="100%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <if condition="$post['icqicon']">
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('icq', '$userinfo[userid]', 500, 450)">
<img border=0 src="http://www.foxinus.cz:8085/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', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">
<img border=0 src="http://www.foxinus.cz:8085/msn/$post[msn]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_msn_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if></td>
    <if condition="$post['yahooicon']">
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('yahoo', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">
<img border=0 src="http://www.foxinus.cz:8085/yahoo/$post[yahoo]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_yahoo_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if></td>
    <if condition="$post['aimicon']">
<td><a href="#" onclick="return imwindow('aim', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200)">
<img border=0 src="http://www.foxinus.cz:8085/aim/$post[aim]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_aim_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<! --- / Online Status --- !>

This won't change the url in the Display Thread Options I may do this at a later date
