File Name: [Unsupported] [RC22]Messenger Icons in Topic View
File Submitter: RuneCore
File Submitted: 24 Sep 2007
File Updated: 1 Nov 2007
File Category: IP.Board v2.3.x & v2.2.x Mods

Adds small icons underneath the avatar that display what messenger services that member has filled out in their profile. Works with the 4 Messenger services that come standard in the IPB Profile: MSN, AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo. With settings in the ACP, you can enable / disable the system, as well as control whether or not the MSN icon is clickable. If this setting is enabled, when the MSN icon is clicked, it will automatically open an MSN conversation with that member. This part only works in IE as far as I know, and it will only work for the MSN icon.

This mod uses the Universal Mod Installer.

installed and works superb

[RuneCore]

thanks, just re-uploaded to fix an error that caused the entire renderrow to become centered when this mod was disabled

fixed now, should work perfectly

[Depot]

Nice work RuneCore, someone requested this mod a while back and I believe it got good response.

After a quick google search, I figured out how to make the MSN clickable feature work on firefox, but its on a personal basis and envolves messing around with your computers registry...i really dont see going through the trouble, this feature was just an after-thought, but If you really want to make it work:

open notepad and paste this code into it:

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo]
@="URL:foo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msnim\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msnim\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msnim\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\MSN Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\" \"%1\""

Save it as msnim.reg to your desktop

Double-Click and to add it to your registry.

I advise you to take extreme caution when playing with your registry - always do a backup first.

Is AIM and YIM gonna be clickable?

[RuneCore]

maybe in future versions

[trevorcarey]

Doesn't seem to work for me.

I ran the installer via UMI and made the edit to Topic View > Render Row.

I've turned it online via Tools & Settings but there are no icons appearing under my (or anyone's) avatar.

[Depot]

This mod installs quite easily with no file edits and one skin edit. If you PM me with the ACP url and login info I'll take a look.

[Depot]

Everything was installed correctly and it fails to show as you stated. I did notice that the skin edit performed on RenderRow borked the column width and the rank pips so I removed it.

If you preview the template bit as HTML it's not showing correctly, so it seems the RenderRow skin edit needs to be fixed.

How do I fix it though when I make the correct edits and it still doesn't work?

[Depot]

RuneCore will have to modify the RenderRow template to show the icons as this doesn't seem to work,

CODE

<if="$this->ipsclass->vars['messenger_display_online']"><div align="center"><if="$this->ipsclass->vars['msn_clickable_enabled']"><if="$author['msnname']"><a href="msnim:chat?contact={$author['msnname']}"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_msn2.gif"></a></if>
<else /><if="$author['aim_name']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_msn2.gif"></if></if>
<if="$author['aim_name']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_aim.gif"></if>
<if="$author['icq_number']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_icq.gif"></if>
<if="$author['yahoo']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_yahoo.gif"></if></div></if>

I will wait for him to reply then!

Thanks Depot.

[RuneCore]

ah, right, sorry about that

thats my personal code for my own site (notice the profile_msn2.gif instead of just profile_msn.gif)...i use a different msn icon on my site...saved the wrong code in the install guide

also, not sure exactly what became "borked", i have installed on 3 different sites and they all look normal to me...but here, try this code, ill reupload as well:

CODE

<if="$this->ipsclass->vars['messenger_display_online']"><div align="center"><if="$this->ipsclass->vars['msn_clickable_enabled']"><if="$author['msnname']"><a href="msnim:chat?contact={$author['msnname']}"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_msn.gif"></a></if>
<else /><if="$author['aim_name']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_msn.gif"></if></if>
<if="$author['aim_name']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_aim.gif"></if>
<if="$author['icq_number']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_icq.gif"></if>
<if="$author['yahoo']"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['img_url']}/profile_yahoo.gif"></if></div></if>

I could replicate the issues the old code caused in addition to it not working, but it'd be a moot point now that you've updated the code. Next time I'll provide screenies.

[Depot]

New code works great RuneCore, thanks for the fix.  

trevorcarey,  this mod now works on your site.  

[edit] The clickable MSN does not work in IE either.  [/edit]

I advise you to take extreme caution when playing with your registry.

If your like me and have altered the mod so all are clickable (minus ICQ) here are the latest registry edits for the most recent editions of Yahoo messenger, Windows Live Messanger and AIM

Windows Live Messenger:

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msnim]
@="URL:msnim Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msnim\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\msnim\shell\open]

@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Live\\Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\" \"%1\""

AIM:

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aim]
@="URL:aim Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aim\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aim\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aim\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\AIM6\\AIM6.exe\" \"%1\""

Yahoo:

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\yahoo]
@="URL:ymsgr Protocol"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\yahoo\shell]
