MSN, Yahoo, AIM Buttons In WWF V 7.0

I guess no one cares about this issue. I seem to be the only one who thinks this should be added. Hmmmmm....

Only reason I would like to add this is because a lot of my users are MSN messenger users.

Thanks!

I went in and changed line 365 in the pop_up_profile.asp file from the following:

<td background="<% = strTableProfileBgImage %>" bgcolor="<% =(strTableRowProfileColour) %>" class="text"><% If strMSNAddress <> "" Then Response.Write(strMSNAddress) Else Response.Write(strTxtNotGiven) %></td>

To:

<td background="<% = strTableProfileBgImage %>" bgcolor="<% =(strTableRowProfileColour) %>" class="text"><% If strMSNAddress <> "" Then Response.Write(("<img src=""" & strImagePath & "msn.gif""  border=""0"" align=""absmiddle"" alt=""" & strMSNAddress & """></a>&nbsp") & (strMSNAddress)) Else Response.Write(strTxtNotGiven) %></td>

The result that will appear in the profile if a user enters an MSN Messenger user name and will look like this:

 username@msn.com

instead of just:

username@msn.com

I know nothing fancy just thought since the buttons there I would like to use it.

I noticed on Invision Board Forums that they have listed all the instant messenger buttons at the bottom of post and also you can click on the MSN Messenger button and it sends a message through the MSN Messenger service to that user. Does anyone know the code they used to achieve this?

I'm not sure. I wish I could find some documentation on the MSN features and also get some insight as to how they coded this feature at Invision.

Okay so here's an update. Yeah still working on this Mod for my forum. I have added the extra bar below the post to show if the author has any im services.

But to allow it to appear or not appear depending on the author requires a check to see if the author has given any im service info just as in the profile_up_profile form. Now my question is how do I check the database to see if the posters author has given an im service?

I tried to follow the same way as in the pop_up_profile but can't figure out how to query the database and match the author with their profile settings.

Can anyone help?
