Just a question Iv noticed that gmail now lets your use pop3 access to it wouldn't that work with the plugin?

yah iv been using linux for a full month now with out it stuffing up some how, Its a new record for me.

If im understanding what your saying it wouldn't really work well because you would also need this option on the orignal msn client other wise how would you know what there space link is? Might be posable to make it work for amsn 2 amsn clients don't really know how flexible the msn protocol is?

Or if on the contacts propitys you add a txtbox that will give you a space for you to type it your self then add that link to the rightclick of that contact.

Or just add a link on your profile to there spaces as such a few of my contacts have done with theres.

Not related to amsn but this is what I use for my gmail account.

http://checkgmail.sourceforge.net/

It puts a little icon your startbar thing dont know what they call it in linux, It tells you how many new emails your have.

And if you right click on it you can make new emails to send to people.

move libtls1.50.so pkgindex.tcl and tls.tcl in to that Dir and make sure you open up pkgindex.tcl and change it to

package ifneeded tls 1.50 "[list load [file join $dir .. libtls1.50.so] ] ; [list source [file join $dir tls.tcl] ]"


if it isnt already.

Iv asked all the people in my list with Unknown client what there client is, All of them said it was WML 8.1 beta so maybe MS has disabled clientcaps for 8.1 or just for its beta's

kakaroto, Whats involved with joining the team? Ill join if i don't have to be on the mail list lol. Use to be on it but I would just get too many email and it would fill up how much space I had on my ISP email and i wouldn't be able to get any other emails in till I removed the mail list ones. I don't know any tcl/tk I can only really use it because its sort of like a mix between C and PHP, But should be able to learn it quite quickly as Iv finished school and don't have a job yet.

Also I reckon that having this webmsn stuff should be in the svn instead of a plug in because having it as a plug in is to limiting.
Because its to hard to set the DP and mini DP using a plug in. A plug in would only really be good for a temp solution for people that arnt on the svn in till it becomes a proper release.

If a dev would be able to tell my how you set the desply pic and nick useing a plugin Id be able to make this into a plug in, I have sort of been playing around trying to get it to work as a plugin but I have no clue how to set the DP and when i set the nick useing "::abook::setContactData" method it only changes it on the contactlist intill it is refreshed.

Heres what I have so far.

Code:

namespace eval ::webmsn {

proc Init { dir } {
::plugins::RegisterPlugin webmsn
::plugins::RegisterEvent webmsn UserConnect online
}

    proc online {event evpar} {
variable config
upvar 2 user user
if { [::abook::getContactData $user client] == "Webmessenger" } {
set data "(WebMSN) [::abook::getDisplayNick $user]"
::abook::setContactData $user "nick" $data
    }
}
}

I get this error aswell I have disabled chameleon and havent had it for awhile so im lead to belive that its causeing the problem.

yip im in nz, telecom is stupid all they are doing is making the plans faster and smaller caps so they dont lose there massive profit, Cant wait to see what they are going to do when adsl2 comes out full speed and only 300mb probly.

Thanks zap made changes to my original post to reflect this, And also added some more things you can change so that it changes there DPs instead of just saying no DP.

Heres the changes Iv made so that it shows web msn clients with (WebMsn) before there nick names so that you know who is using it.

open "abook.tcl"

Find

Code:

set nick [::abook::getNick $user_login]

Replace with

Code:

if { [::abook::getContactData $user_login client] == "Webmessenger" } {
        set nick "(WebMSN) [::abook::getNick $user_login]"
} else {
        set nick [::abook::getNick $user_login]
}

Save and exit.

###########################################################################################################

Heres some more If you want it to change there DP to one that says web messanger, heres the code for that.

Open "skins.tcl"

Find

Code:

set picName displaypicture_std_$email

Add below

Code:

if { [::abook::getContactData $email client] == "Webmessenger" } {
set file [::skin::GetSkinFile displaypic webmsn.gif]
image create photo $picName -file "$file" -format cximage
return $picName
}

Find

Code:

set picName displaypicture_tny_$email

Add below

Code:

if { [::abook::getContactData $email client] == "Webmessenger" } {
set file [::skin::GetSkinFile displaypic webmsn.gif]
image create photo $picName -file "$file" -format cximage
::picture::ResizeWithRatio $picName $height $height
return $picName
}

Save and exit

Dont know what versions it works on but i guess the top half should work on all amsn versions that have DPs and the bottom half the ones that support showing there DPs in the contact list. Iv only tryed it on 0.97b

Well heres the image that i used


Put that in the displaypic folder of each of the skins that you use.

Something else you might be interested in is adding a option to showing what client people are useing before there name, Not just limited to webmsn.
This will add a option to the advance tab in the preferences of amsn to enable or disable showing of them.

Open "abook.tcl"

Find

Code:

set nick [::abook::getNick $user_login]

!!!!!!!!!!!     If you havent done done the changes above replace it with     !!!!!!!!!!!

Code:

if { [::config::getKey showclient] == 1 } {
        set nick "([::abook::getContactData $user_login client]) [::abook::getNick $user_login]"
} else {
set nick [::abook::getNick $user_login]
}

!!!!!!!!!!!     If you have done the changes above replace the changes and it with     !!!!!!!!!!!

Code:

if { [::abook::getContactData $user_login client] == "Webmessenger" } {
        set nick "(WebMSN) [::abook::getNick $user_login]"
} elseif { [::config::getKey showclient] == 1 } {
        set nick "([::abook::getContactData $user_login client]) [::abook::getNick $user_login]"
} else {
set nick [::abook::getNick $user_login]
}

Save and exit

Open "config.tcl"

Find

Code:

::config::setKey globaloverride 0

Add below

Code:

::config::setKey showclient 0 ;

Find

Code:

[list local globaloverride bool globaloverride ] \

Add below

Code:

[list local showclient bool showclient ] \

Save and exit

Open your lang file

For example mine is "langen"

Find

Code:

showcontactemail Show Contacts with E-mail

Add above

Code:

showclient Show client tag before nick

Save and exit

Rember to change it on every lang that you use.

mines been working ok but that happend awhile ago because the msn port got DOSed by someone trying to hack my computer and my ISP stop all connections on that port for a few days.

Check your router logs and see if that ports had any hacking attempts on it or if your firewalls blocking it.

Shouldnt be useing that much net with mine it only uses about 6mb a day with amsn and thats cos iv got a big list of people that are blocked and deleted, maby check that linux isnt checking for updates or if there is another programe that is. Do you have any plugins loaded because the pop3 plugin as such will use extra bandwidth while it checks for new mail.

iv got a awlful internet plan aswell only get 40GB a month at 256/256kbit its the only plan that gives you a decent amount and costs 59dollar a month.

or i could update to one of there go large plans where they advertise unlimited speed and data for 59 dollars but if you read the fine print says that you only get 700mb a day and if you exceed you have your account closed or they arrange to change your plan to a more expensive one where you pay per GB.

moved it to the top post. It would be nice if a Admin or Mod could move this to the "Amsn development related issues" forum thanks.

lol just came back to say that i got it working by disabling chameleon but i guess you already said that. just adding some more stuff and a few changes then ill post up what iv done so far.

just about finshed a plugin that will do this just got to find one problem in the amsn code that is conflicting with a manual check when it finds new results after you have already found some once, if that didnt make much scene heres an example

you open amsn with the auto look for updates and it finds some, you click close on the update windows then manualy check and it finds some driffent for the last results it throws an error

Code:

can't rename to "::.updatelangplugin.list:cmd": command already exists

which if i under stand correctly it cant make another update window cos one has already been made.
