Web Based Version of Msngr w/ Plus by shine on 06-06-2005 at 01:25 AM

Its been long I did something in here. Muss is not here anymore... right? :D (He said he's busy now a days). How are you guys? WDZ, Jhonny, Chrono....I dont see anyone else :undecided:.. Hey Patchou..How are you?.. Do you still use any one of those 'cyril' ID's? Thks Chrono for not deleting my post :D .. two years are too much for anyone to 'forget' remembering anything :wink:

When I searched, I couldnt find anything like my suggestion. (I miss that 'suggestions' forum :)  )Is there a remote possibility of having a web based msn messenger with a Plus addon? or A complete PLUS web messenger - Our own "Messenger Web+"

Doubt it could be done because the Web Version doesn't provide an API for Plus! to use and Microsoft doesn't like other clients using their servers so it wouldn't be a good idea for Patchou to create a web messenger himself with his own features.

Hi shine. Unforutnately, there's not much I can do about web messenger directly... I would probably be able to add some stuff to it with some work, I already thought about it, however, the fact remains that most people who use Web Messenger are people who can't install MSN Messenger on their computer and if they can't install MSN Messenger, they probably can't install Messenger Plus! either :).

How about creating a Plus! enabled web messenger, although that sounds like a rather large task.

Hi Patchou..nice to get back to you.. Installation!!! That what I was mentioning...

What about a complete new web based messenger with a web based Plus? We have a great team and community here. May be some one has the idea and resources...

Actually an HTML Application (.hta) could be written to be able to hook the Web Messenger api thru internet explorer with the Shell.application ActiveX Object..
Unfortunetly though, It would be quite a bit of work to be able to pull the data off web messenger into a structure of who you're talking to and the IE windows for them...
If something like that was written correctly ALOT could be used with web messenger such as automation and what not. It's much easier to hook the interface and manpiluate it thru it's HTML code than thru writing protocol software or tooks to be able to hack the memory to add your own features.

If anybody wants to mess with the idea,
I wrote a small API to control the IE Window List and do some simple mods to it (I didn't spend much time on it)

There are API functions inside the source code of this (look for the commented area in it)

(hmm.. maybe this should be it's own thread)

Later!

Thanks for the link butas I said, this is perfectly feasable, it's just that itwould need a software to be installed on the computer (I won't do another web client, many exists already and none is legal anyway) and if you can install something on your computer, then you probably use MSN Messenger itself :).

Actually HTA is built into windows, I belive it's in windows me and higher (maybe 98) but I understand what you mean about just using MSN Messenger. I was originally going to write a tool in hta with a php backend to msn web messenger for an easy way to access my msn from at school and bypass website blocks & limitations of not being able to use https to login to passport (by running apache on my pc)


RE: Web Based Version of Msngr w/ Plus by defyboy on 06-06-2005 at 04:48 AM

Immediately alienating all those users that don't blindly follow Microsoft. I'm taling about users of Opera, Mozilla (Suite/Firefox), and the multitude of other non-ActiveX browsers out there.

Ey guys!
gotta solution :P:P

Because i don't like Web Msgrs because they are SLOW, i created the School messenger! (a SelfExtracting MSN Messenger). The only problem is.... When i did it with Messenger Plus, it wouldn't work.... HE COUL'N'T FIND MSN MESSENGER!

Patchou, don't you have a tool or something, So it finds msnmsgr.exe and not the registration?

*ps. The error is: Can't find MSN Messenger!

(duh it's not registerd...!)

That is absolutely no surprise at all and is perfectly logical and even a good thing... There is a reason why you need to INSTALL MSN Messenger and not simply copy some two or three files to make it work...

And I strongly doubt Patchou will do anything about it iether. In fact, making something which works with these (crappy) extractions only makes those extractions being more used by people and that is NOT a good thing.

Anyways, this isn't the thread to discuss "MSN Messenger extractings" in and why they are a bad thing. For this there are other threads, on this forum board and on other forum boards....
