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 think I've found your problem, no one has there profiles filled in, you need to go to your UserCP and fill in the appropriate boxes in

hi,

yeah what a stupid mistake from me :devious: now it shows i'm offline while i'm online but you already explained how to solve that

thanks dude working like a champ

[Delphiprogrammi]

verry odd on some servers it show online on others unknown and again on others it shows offline my "all other users" in msn messenger is in the allowed list

edit

seems my firewall whas blocking it somehow now it shows "online" people on windows xp with windows firewall enabled => this won't work add an exception rule to allow msn messenger

The images are on the server you don't need to have them, if you want to change them just choose a different server

hi,

you can get a server here http://blueforce.co.uk:8080 i use this one to supports icq msn etc etc

in your vbulletin profil fill in the adress of your messenger service if you want a status indicator for msn messenger you fill in the "msn id" profile field

you must edit the postbit and the postbit_legacy template

that did it for me
