Since im a dutch guy, i dont understand the script documentation, or tutorials made by others (yeah i saw the new thread).

Is someone willing to make a tutorial, with good explenations, and especialy EXAMPLES?

code:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
);

---

code:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    justastupidname@hotmail.com Email
);

---

code:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
);


//this is the example (the lower one), no i dont know if this is right but i want to show you how i mean things... anyway
OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    irealyneedhelprightnow@JScript.com Email
);

---

The things you see in the documentation are called syntaxis. It is a way to descibe how the function must be used. And is actually a common, almost standard, way of writing how something must be used.

eg: If it states:

quote:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
);

---

quote:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
);

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(TheEmailParameter) {
    Debug.Trace("The contact with the email " + TheEmailParameter + " has just signed in");
    If (TheEmailParameter == "myfriendsemailaddress@mail.com") {
        // this will be performed if the comparisson is correct, thus TRUE
        Debug.Trace("The person who signed in is my friend")
    } else {
        // this will be performed if the comparisson is not correct, thus FALSE
        Debug.Trace("I don't know the person who signed in ")
    }
}

oke thanks, and how would this code (OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
); 
) be when this email adress is filled in: dennis.kleinman@hccnet.nl?
does there has to be some '' thingies in it? yes i know i can find it in the library, thanks for that but not right now...

nothing needs to be filled in. If you read the documentation it states that the parameter Email is a variable which is returned by the function. In other words the parameter Email will give you the email address of he who signed in.

Dennis, in all Dutch library's are books about programming. I advice you to find a book about beginning programming in javascript, something like "javascript for dummies" or so. It differs from JScript, but it will at least learn you the basics of programming.

After you understand that, read the messenger plus documentation again and try again! Good luck

code:

---

OnContact_Signin(Email) {
if (Email = "dennis.kleinman@hccnet.nl") {
//the code that is triggered
}
}

---

code:

---

<?
function ExampleFunction($variable) {
echo $variable;
}
?>

---

code:

---

ExampleFunction("hello")

---

code:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin("dennis.kleinman@hccnet.nl")

If you wanted something to trigger when dennis.kleinman@hccnet.nl signs in, then you would use the following code...

code:

---

OnContact_Signin(Email) {
    if (Email = "dennis.kleinman@hccnet.nl") {
        //the code that is triggered
    }
}

---

---

code:

---

OnContact_Signin(Email) {
    if (Email == "dennis.kleinman@hccnet.nl") {
        //the code that is triggered
    }
}

ok thanks i now understand a bit better, i just wanted to know how to fill in a code if you want to specifie some-one/thing.

well, time to mess up my scripts, and get started

Btw, if you leeve the code this way:

code:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
);

---

Correct. But you have to remove "[string]".

Example:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email) {
Debug.trace("The contact " + Email + " has signed in");
}

---

Thanks this really helps me right now.

Only insofar as JScript is an extended version of JavaScript.
All JavaScript is valid JScript, but not always the other way around.

And before anyone starts on with 'document.all' and stuff, that's not a JavaScript/JScript difference: that's a W3C/Microsoft DOM difference.

heey... Jesus's (hehe lol name) found tutorial site is pretty good, since its shows the output of a code... cool

, then the event you want to happen happens when anybody of your contact list is signing in? cuz its a variable?

---

code:

---

OnEvent_ContactSignin(
    [string] Email
);

err no jscript isnt an extended version of javascript.. its a child of ecmascript and so is javascript, nearly all of javascript 1.5 is compatible with jscript though.
newer versions of javascript have things which arent compatible like
javascript 1.6 introduces e4x (basicly native xml handleing in javascript) and some more array methods
javascript 1.7 introduces interators , generators , let expressions and destructuring stuff.
