Here is the link from the UBBDEV database for version 5 where it works.

https://www.ubbdev.com/hacks/Ubbim2.0b.zip

I dont know if anyone can recode this as we are going back quite a ways but this would be a great feature.

I'm not sure what the previous AIM Hack does, but I've added AIM functionality to my board with two lines, very simple. It allows a user to IM a person with a link under that person's post, as well as Add a user to a buddy list through that person's profile. Here's how I did it:

Open public_topic_page.pl (template). First find "sub topic_row{", and under it paste:
Code
code:

Then find the line that contains "$AuthorExtra", followed by some other stuff. I forget what comes after it, as I think I deleted some of it wink . At the end of the line, paste this:
Code
code:
This will add a link next to posts, location, ip, etc that reads "IM public_name", which will send an IM that says "Hi. Are you there?" to that user. Of course, this will still display "IM so-and-so" even if that user doens't have AIM. This isn't a problem for me, since everyone on my board has AIM (it's a private community). If you don't know how to fix this, let me know and I'll show you how.

Next open public_display_profile.pl (template) and find:
if (($vars_registration{aim_field_use} ne 'DEL') && ($user_profile[22] ne '')) {

Add this under that line:
Code
code:
Then find:

$user_profile[22]

and add this after $user_profile[22]:
Code
code:
That'll add "Add to your AIM Buddy List" next to a person's AIM name when viewing their profile. This one actually won't show if the person doesn't have AIM, as it's nested in an if statement that tests for an AIM name.

Hope this helps.

(Scientists) are apolitical, supposedly, like civil servants--empiricists, who only wanted things managed in a rational scientific style, the greatest good for the greatest number, which ought to be fairly simple to arrange, if people were not so trapped in emotions, religions, governments, and other mass delusional systems of that sort.

I don't think, Influenza, that that's what they searching for.

Hmm, I remember this causing immense problems in ubb5...
