[RELEASE vB 2.0] MSN Message Center like available on http://www.msn.com

[Christian]

I could manage to implement the Messege Center from msn.com to vBulletin.
It doesn't work yet like the online indicators for Yahoo or ICQ, but that can perhaps be added by editing the VBS file.

Anyway, it offers the function to access your hotmail account, to create a new one, to download MSN Messenger, to start it and viewing the contacts in real time (without to have to refresh the page).

You can look at it here:

I'm currently writing the instructions how to install it!


But before I release it I need to know one thing:

If someone has the MSN Messenger NOT installed, please go to our site and tell me if there is a link shown where you can download it!
I don't want to uninstall it just to see if it works!

My co-admin is dutch, i'm sure he will translate the instructions for you!

It is not very much anyway!

[AssassinGF]

I can't wait to install this!
Great job Christian!

[Christian]

It was not that hard!

The hardest thing was to filter out the needed code from the MSN page!

I have never seen such a crap code!

I spent hours with reducing it to the minimum.

Some needed scripts have been added to tables with totally different contents, e.g the shop offers and all that.

One line deleted false and you has 1000s of script errors!

In the attached text file is what I started with!

If you wonder if I did anything to the formatting of the text file, or it went something wrong during saving, then the answer is NO!

This is HTML code written in a away that nobody shall understand it!


Nice, eh? LOL

[AssassinGF]

*opens up frontpage, pastes the code into the HTML viewer, and watches it auto format into something very readable*

lol!

Do you think it is W3C compliant?

Thanks, my big friend!

You forgot to mention that you are the number 1 database's broken table fixer!

[Christian]

To raise the number of shown online contacts from 5 to a higher number, open the file MC.VBS.

There you look for

nc=5

It is in line 130.

Set the number you want to have there!

Upload it again to your server!


BUT:

More than 75 doesn't make sense because that the maximum number of online contacts you can have in MSN Messenger!

[Yaa 101]

Good job my friend the 30 is enough for us indeed...

I thought strange that list and how can we incorperate as like the other icons...
I kinda like it now it even shows the number of mails in your box...

What's next? Weather? lol...
