Msn Login Snippet

[alan s]

I made a msn web messenger mod for smf yesterday and i decided to edit it a bit to work with tinyportal aswell.

I have 2 methods.

1st Method : Requires a small bit of effort but not too much.

Looks Like :



Step 1 : Upload package attached to this post via the smf package manager. That will place a file called msn.php in your forum folder.

Step 2 : In a block add this code ( editing the url to the name of your site and smf directory eg. http://mysite.com/smf/msn.php )

Code Select Expand

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=400,left = 470,top = 250');");
}
// End -->
</script>
<A HREF="javascript:popUp('http://YOURURLHERE/YOURSMFDIRECTORY/msn.php')">Login To Msn Via The Web!</A>

Also instead of text you could replace the " login to msn via the web" with a image by using the html image tag

Or alternatively you could use a button by using this code

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=400,left = 470,top = 250');");
}
// End -->
</script>
<form>
<input type=button value="Button Text!" onClick="javascript:popUp('http://YOURSITE.COM/SMFDIR/msn.php')">
</form>

Note * When applying the package file it will come up as a modification to the index.template.php file , no code is added to the file , thats just there to make it install properly through the package manager , fell free to look at the msn.xml file if you dont believe me.

2nd Method: Requires no effort

Looks Like

Create a javascript/html block with this code in it.

Demo of both : http://theteenzone.net/testforum


It doesnt matter what version of smf your using for the package manager install by the way , i've tested on Rc2 & Rc3 but it should work on the 1.0 series.

Enjoy!

-Edit forgot the package ! ooops

Cool snippet Alan!   :up:

[rctxtreme]

e-buddy has more features than web messenger, even nudges

[alan s]

Yep im aware of that thats why i choose it over the official web messenger , eventually its on my plan to intergrate yahoo messenger and aim messenger login , first into the smf mod i created and then i'll work something out for a block.

By the way if anyone wants a screenshot of the web messening screen its the 2nd one here

That's very cool, thx

I'm having something weird happen with the second method. It's showing the bottom of the page in the block insteadÃ,  of the messenger.

I copied it exactly from the code above into a scriptbox.

Take a look at it here:

http://aroundtheusa.webpal.info/index.php

You'll need to login to see it. It's on the right.

Username: test
Password: test

[timothy082003]

I gave the test account permission to edit the block so that you will be able to see the code.

It seems that the code changes every time I enter it and it will not load the rest of the block edit page. It's really unusual.

Thats strange , whats even stranger isthat a advertisment is appearing in its place , Is it only for that block or is it for all of them?

[timothy082003]

It only changes that particular block but the rest of the blocks below it will not load. It alsodisables the ability to modify the block from the edit screen.
