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've installed this mod on my board 3.0.0 It works great! My users love it. I wasnt to happy about relying on a public server to support this hack so I download the server software and installed It on mine. Go here to get the server software and info. http://www.onlinestatus.org/hosting.html

view my board.

Hello all, a question..

How the prog works for IRC Status? I mean u must be to a specific server? Also it works with the conditional you have the same username in IRC like in the forum?

Hope someone knows about that, it seems very intresting hack

Thnx in advance

It doesn't work for IRC that's why it's called Online Status for ICQ, MSN, AIM & Yahoo, also it doesn't use you forum user name, it takes the name form the fields you fill in in your UserCP

Hope that helps

Hmm sorry then...just went to the onlinestatus.org, and saw that they also support IRC protocol. Can this be included here also? I have a major irc channel and want to promote it with the help of this hack

Thnx in advance

Sorry never noticed that, yes you should just be able to add a new user field and alter the code to suit

You will need to add a new user profile field and change "field#" to the number of your new field, I've not tried this because I only have a 3.5.0 test board, if it doesn't work just remove the code again, and I will have another look at it l8r when I have a little more time

If u test it more the next days, post a notify here

Thnx again for the info

[lanc3lot]
