MSN Message Button

Worker Joined: Feb 14, 2008 Posts: 123

All my buttons in the profile work except MSN Messenger, they all show except that one. I've checked in the themes forums, profile_view_body.tpl and it links up with the image. It is showing the email in the MSN Messenger field but no button. How can I get my msn button to display in this field?

in phpBB2 it never showed the button in the profile cause they never made it link to your msn screen name

i think there is a mod on phpbb's website to make the image appear

It worked before and I think it works on here.

Well when I had the last version of Raven it worked but not with this version the newest.
Ive checked the file name of the image and everything and it matches in the file but I don't know where else to look on my server. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction here?

danny234, I am seeing the icon on the Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! site. This should be the image:

themes/fisubice/forums/images/lang_english/icon_msnm.gif

I have just modified my profile there to have a msn account in the profile, and I am seeing the image. Maybe you need to re-upload the image?

BTW, Raven does not run RavenNuke(tm) on RavenPHPScripts.com. It is a very heavily modded site that has been around for many years prior to RN. I think he has plans to migrate at some point though.

Hi Montego, well I have a ps3 theme installed as you might know and I have another button for msn to match my theme and it's called icon_msnm.gif and i've checked over the file names and everything but it just won't show the button, I've tried re-uploading it to the same place and still no luck. Could it be something in another file linking to this image somewhere?

danny234, I am not sure how to help you as this is not a core RN theme. Which version did it work on before? (Be specific please.) Given what bprsk8r4272 said above, that leads me to suspect your ps3 theme as having the issue. Maybe it is hard-coding something that it should not be, or ??????

I have a feeling that you might have to get a theme person to take a look (that is not me - lol).

Well it was the version before 2.20.01 which would of been 2.20? Well I've noticed when I type my email into the msn field that it misses the "k" of "uk" as in hotmail.co.uk so dont know if that has something to do with it, it always missed the k off but it lets you put "com" although that doesn't show the button either. I understand you cant help if your not a theme person lol

Thanks for your information.

i'll look in to this for you in a little cause i wanted to have this feature on my forums

*update
i went through RN 2.10.0 & 2.20.01 and there arent any changes to make the msn image show the only thing i can think of is in includes/usercp_viewprofile.php

Code:

$aim_img = ( $profiledata['user_aim'] ) ? '<a href="aim:goim?screenname=' . $profiledata['user_aim'] . '&amp;message=Hello+Are+you+there?"><img src="' . $images['icon_aim'] . '" alt="' . $lang['AIM'] . '" title="' . $lang['AIM'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : '&nbsp;';


$aim = ( $profiledata['user_aim'] ) ? '<a href="aim:goim?screenname=' . $profiledata['user_aim'] . '&amp;message=Hello+Are+you+there?">' . $lang['AIM'] . '</a>' : '&nbsp;';





$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msnm'] ) ? $profiledata['user_msnm'] : '&nbsp;';


$msn = $msn_img;





$yim_img = ( $profiledata['user_yim'] ) ? '<a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=' . $profiledata['user_yim'] . '&amp;.src=pg"><img src="' . $images['icon_yim'] . '" alt="' . $lang['YIM'] . '" title="' . $lang['YIM'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : '';


$yim = ( $profiledata['user_yim'] ) ? '<a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=' . $profiledata['user_yim'] . '&amp;.src=pg">' . $lang['YIM'] . '</a>' : '';

see how the $aim= & the $yim= are a link if you change the &msn= to what ever would bring you to the msn profile then it might come up. the profile_view_body.tpl has always had the msn image set as [MSN_IMG] but the image never showed

I checked the file in /includeds/user cp and I noticed this code here, well my YIM button works on my profile fine but my MSN button doesn't. If you look at the code there's something different the YIM code links to somewhere but the MSN doesnt, could this be the problem here?
If it is what can I change the code to, to make it work and show my MSN button?

Danny

Code:

$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msnm'] ) ? $profiledata['user_msnm'] : '&nbsp;';


$msn = $msn_img;





$yim_img = ( $profiledata['user_yim'] ) ? '<a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=' . $profiledata['user_yim'] . '&amp;.src=pg"><img src="' . $images['icon_yim'] . '" alt="' . $lang['YIM'] . '" title="' . $lang['YIM'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : '';


$yim = ( $profiledata['user_yim'] ) ? '<a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=' . $profiledata['user_yim'] . '&amp;.src=pg">' . $lang['YIM'] . '</a>' : '';

When you click on the msn button in the forums it takes you back to there profile on the website, is that what it should do? Or should it be taking you to msn page?
