Module CMPS: MSN Messenger Login
Mod Version: 1.00, by DjTaz (Contributor) DjTaz is offline
Developer Last Online: Oct 2011 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

vB Version: 3.5.4 Rating: (1 vote - 1.00 average) Installs: 22
Released: 29 May 2006 Last Update: Never Downloads: 42
Not Supported Template Edits Additional Files  

This is a handy module to let you log into MSN from internet cafés that happen to have forgotten to install MSN Messenger.

The hack goes onto the VbAdvanced main page as a module , so

if you dont have VbAdvabced , this is not for you ... but take a look at post 8 and Post 34 and it explains how to put it onto forumhome

It uses EMessenger , its not exactly the neatest in the world , but it works fine.


1. Upload the attached file on the right (msn.php) into your /modules Folder.
2. Upload the attached image at the bottom (msn.gif) into your /images folder.

3. Create a new template (Style & Templates - Style Manager - Add a template) called adv_portal_msn with the following code:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

ADDED LATER: Post 48 suggests an edit for the login to make it log into the better looking version of e-messenger.


4. Add a module.
In Vba CPMS - add module select add a module - PHP file :

Module Title : Msn Messenger
Column : Left Column (or where you wish)
Active : Yes
Update all pages : As Required

File to include : msn.php
Parent Module : none
Identifier : msn
Templates Used : adv_portal_msn


The rest is up to yourself.


This hack should allow members who have their msn address filled in to sign in using any state (online/busy/away etc etc) but only allows non members to sign in as Online. It doesnt require the members to give their msn login details as it asks on the page for that info , and it pops up a new page for the Emessenger.

This is version 1.0 of this hack - it works fine on my boards (3.5.4 with vBadvanced CMPS v2.0.0 ) but hasnt been tested on others , but any improvments or requests will be considered. (I have tried windows messenger and failed , so if someone can suggest how to use that instead, id be delighted).

Added -
  • Yahoo messenger web login was added on page 1 if this goes on a few pages.
  • Install this onto Forumhome for those who dont have VBA is also on page 1
  • Post #34 , RMXS kindly posted how to install this the full length of the FORUMHOME page - with images.
  • Post #48 suggests an edit for the login to make it log into the better looking version of e-messenger.
  • Post #49 has a version of this that uses javascript to switch between the different logins , all in the same box - 1 box , 5 logins.

If you just use the Code above and ignore the msn.php - im sure you could re-write it to fit into one of the existing templates on VBB - it would be pretty much the exact same code , just with different tables to make it fit better.

I just didnt know where to put it on a non VBB page - possibly Forumhome at the bottom somewhere

The system uses EMessenger - they are established and passwords are as secure as they can be online. Its not logged on anyones server ever , so as such yes the passwords are secure.

There is also the option of using the secure server , which wont really make much difference to be honest.

This system would be almost exactly the same as using the emessenger site itself to log in - the form sends the info directly to them to log you in - any coder can check the form script and know its all ok.

heres a quick rendering of a yahoo code for you ... might be worth getting your own yahoo image cause i rushed that.

do pretty much the same steps as above for msn :

1. Upload the attached file at the bottom (yahoo.php) into your /modules Folder.
2. Upload the attached image at the bottom (yahoo.gif) into your /images folder.

3. Create a new template (Style & Templates - Style Manager - Add a template) called adv_portal_yahoo with the following code:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.


4. Add a module.
In Vba CPMS - add module select add a module - PHP file :

Module Title : Yahoo Messenger
Column : Left Column (or where you wish)
Active : Yes
Update all pages : As Required

File to include : yahoo.php
Parent Module : none
Identifier : yahoo
Templates Used : adv_portal_yahoo



That should do it for the yahoo login.I dont have yahoo myself , so as u can see in the screenshot , it wont supply my yahoo login ID, but if i had one when signing up for the boards , it would auto populate that for me.

If you wish to use Forumhome as a place to put this , and you dont have VBa - then you could try this- though i dont think its anyway near as nice ....

Open the FORUMHOME template and find :

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and under it add in :


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And that should display both yahoo and msn on the bottom of forumhome

I took a look at meebo.com and it looks to be a great system , but i dont think id be able to replicate that on a VBulletin page im afraid.

Im on holidays in Lanzarote at the moment , so its only a brief jump in and out of the net , but i may take a longer look at that site when i return and see if i can come up with an alternative system thats similar to that, but no promises .. digging out the coding can be very difficult sometimes.

Basically , im just linking the scripts to the existing web based client that utilites these services - since Gtalkr is no longer available , and emessenger dont have a webbased client , it seems that meebo is the only other one that has a web client for Gtalk.

I checked out the code for the place briefly last night and i got all bogged down in it , which i didnt like while on holidays in the sun , so i decided to skip it.

Ill take a better look when i get back to the emerald isle cause theres not much else to do in Ireland when its raining out

If i can get a working version running for GTalk , ill let you know.
