Modification Name: ICQ/MSN/AIM/Yahoo! Status Indicators

Author(s): Ian Spence

Description: Adds the Yahoo and MSN IM clients to those available on the UBB.classic program. It also adds images to the user's posts allowing a another member to contact that person via IM client easily.

Requirements: UBB.classic 6.6 - 6.7

Download Link: 6.6 Version
6.7 Version

Credits: Dave2 for the old version

Notes: This is tested thoroughly with 6.7, and I could not find any bugs. If you find one, reply here and I'll help.

It looks like the mouseover ALT text on the AIM icon doesn't show the screen name of the user.

I'm sorry, fixed in the zip.

see, unwanted features i tell ya! lol...

nice work Al, I didn't see this one Reminds me of the one we used to have for the classic 5 series

[EDIT: Please ignore me, I'm having a bad day counting ]

haha *wonders what you originally said*

I originally said that one of the profile fields collided with the Quick Reply profile field, until I saw that QR was 61 and these two were 60/62. I must have taken a quick glance at "$maxmemfields = 62;" in the Quick Reply readme and based my suspicion on that...

I'm an idiot, remember.

haha, relax. The original hack did, until I had quick reply installed, so I had to go change the numbers. I hack the hell outta my boards, so none of my hacks will interfere with any of the major hacks

There is a spot that says:

in vars_registration.cgi


find:

q!vars_registration-_-aim_field_use! => q!AIM!,

add after:

q!vars_registration-_-msn_field_use! => q!MSN!,
q!vars_registration-_-yim_field_use! => q!Yahoo!,

Well, I don't have the first one in my code for some reason... any ideas? Should I add it?

typo in the install, that line should be in vars_wordlets_cp2.cgi, updated the zip

Does anyone know if this works on 6.7.1? Much thanks in advance.

It should as I believe Al's using it at his site.

thou believes wrong

Any chance of a port?

Ask again in a week

Is there a Multihack version of this?

no

Hello, I have 6.7 on hogwartsbynight.com

I can't get the public_edit_profile.pl to work..

this is what I got.. help?

I did back it all up of course, but any assistance to get this tweak out of the way would be very helpful!

You made sure to to add the code after what you were supposed to find, and not replace it with?

I went through the motions of adding the into the public_edit_profile.pl over and over with a fresh file and I'm still baffled about it. But the ubb_lib.cgi line of code gets replaced? Because that is what I was doing. I don't know if the issue is the pl or the cgi

The issue is with the pl file, nothing much I can do right now, have a test ( Assembly Code class ). Best thing I can suggest is to look at the code and see if you've got one more } than { (not sure how code savvy you are, if not, will work on it tonight if I can. )

If this doesn't work, I'll need you to send me a private message via these boards with FTP address, FTP login, and FTP password for your site, as I'll probably end up fixing it myself.

I have someone flying in tonight that might be able to fix it, its just this one problem and he's usually good at teaking things for me. But I'll go through and see if there is something doubled in there.

Could I just send you the pl file?

HAH! Developer was right, I got it fixed on my own and it works now THANK YOU WHOOHO!

Hello

Is it possible to take off the mouseover text or any other useful way to hide the members IM's info of this mod from guests?

Thanks

I'm not getting any errors but the AIM YIM MSN or ICQ links are not showing in post.

All the fields appear in edit profile.

I reviewed all of the edits 2 times and I don't see what I did wrong. I re uploaded all of the edited files and uploaded the images again.

Running 6.7.1
Have applied the following mods:
UBBCalendar
CategoryMinimizing67
EvenMoreAdvancedText
ModCPAddon6.7

Any thoughts as to what I may have missed?

Thanks

EDIT: Not sure what happened but everything appears to be working properly.
