EDIT: New version, 2.8

Here is the new version of the answerphone script. Although the name has changed to reflect the features, all of the old features remain. One of the major changes in this version is the ability to use a CSS stylesheet to format the uploaded logfile. This must be called my-stlye.css and uploaded to the same folder as the lgfile. An example is provided in the scripts folder. Because of the name change, it is necessary to remove the old AnswerPhone script. Otherwise you would have two versions running.

New in this Version
Removed a large bug whereby the answerphone window was displayed when WLM was locked. The auto-reply message (if set) is still sent and the message is logged as normal.

Features

• Displays all received messages in a central interface window
  
• Can work only when not online and not appearing offline, or in all statuses
  
• Can reply to all messages received with a custom message
  
• Uploads a log of all of the messages it receives to an ftp server.
  
• Online logfile supports Cascading Style Sheets

I hope that you like this script. All feedback and comments would be appreciated!

Thank you for your kind comments! However, I'm one step ahead! The feature that you requested is already coded into the next version.

Thank you!

Hello, very nice script,

two things can be changed... i hope you can put in into the script

first: not only uploading the answer messages, can you change the script to send all messages to ftp?

second: no toast message bye signing in (connect succesfuly to ftp)

thanks

Thank you for your comments. In response to both of the last two posts, I will try to include both of the features suggested, and then release a new version. I had already intended removing the message, because it can get very annoying. It is really just there from testing. Logging all messages is interesting. I presume that you want me to include your messages as well? In the new version which is already out, v2.5, all messages you receive can be uploaded without showing the answerphone screen.

Thank you,

Robert

The "reset" button in the settings window does this.

That's OK. It's not particularly clear. Your comments have been very helpful.

I have finished the new version, 2.7. It has been sent to the script moderator, and so it should appear in the next week I hope. In the meantime, I now have a website for the script. It can be found here.

Hope you like it

Robert

Hi

I'm using your script and it works great! It's very usefull when you're not at home So thanks for the work, it's perfect


By the way, I have a suggestion for the next step of answer phone:

A checkbox list that allow you to select in witch status you want the script to be active would be a nice feature...


And to be annoying , there's a little glitch in the setting window:

The text area who let you specify the folder for logfile on server is a little bit over the username one



And last, I'm using the msgplus's polygamy feature and I was wondering if the script must be compatible with it for the settings to be different for the two accounts used on the same computer? Because I only want to use answer phone for one account. Can you make it possible to have accounts dependent settings?

Thanks for reading, I hope you're vacantions were great

Thanks! That is a great idea about statuses. I hadn't noticed that glitch, thank you for spotting it. I guess I added the new version before properly checking!

Robert

also a suggestion:
make a button on the main window; stop log current window. as it says, stops logging the messages from the current active window.
this is because sometimes i have status away, but i want to talk to one person special

There is a new version that has been released. Please see first post for details. If there are any suggestions for features, please make them here!
