Welcome to Auto Status!

This script lets you alter your status based on whoever signs in.  Want to appear online whenever your significant other signs in?  Or busy when your Mum's bugging you to talk?  Use the options window to enter an e-mail address and select the status that you want your messenger to be changed to when they sign in. 



Add Click this button once you've filled in the e-mail address and desired status
Delete Click this once you've highlighted someone who you want to remove status changing for
Save Click this to save any changes you've made in the settings window
Close Click this to close the settings window, cancelling any changes you've made.

Version 1.01 includes a fix for the bug where settings weren't being saved correctly after reloading Messenger.

Note: This does not allow you to have different statuses for each contact, it merely changes your status depending on who signs in...your status will show for EVERYONE at what it was last changed to by the script

Please post any suggestions, requests, bugs or translation requests

Special thanks go to Spunky

Please note this will not allow you to have different statuses per contact. It will change your status to what you specify when the specific user signs in.

For instance
Your GF signs in your status is set to Online
THEN your mom signs in and your status is set to Busy.

Hi,

I really love this script. However, I found a bug.

Somehow the script loses its configuration. When I enter some email addresses and link them to a status they are saved. But after a reboot or log off they are lost...

Can you have a look at this?

Regards,

This is a great idea for a script!

Is it possible to incorporate an option of time delay into the script (so your status changes a certain period of time after the person logs in)?

Thanks

Hello,

As already stated before I really love this script.

Is it possible to add a feature to this script:

Let's say I got the following configuration:

Girlfriend         - Online
Mother in Law - Appear Offline

I'm chatting with my girlfriend being on-line.
Now, when my mother in law signs in messenger will automatically go to Appear Offline.

If my Mother in law now signs off and my Girlfriend is still online I would like to go to online again. It this possible?

Regards,

T-PO

The priority suggestion is a very good one, me thinks.
Although I wouldn't use this script myself because I don't want a particular status to be overriden by this script.

Maybe to compensate for this another suggestion would be to add a warning dialog which pops up (as the top most window), counting down from a given number of seconds (can be an option too*) before it sets your status to the one you've provided. Selectable per contact of course.

* and with this you could also add the time-delay suggestion someone requested. Setting this to 0 and no warning pops up and the status is set immediatly. Setting it to eg 5 secs for a particular contact and the status will be set in 5 seconds if that particular contact signs in.
And if another contact signs in during the time the popup warning is shown the popup is automatically dismissed (and/or a new popup is shown if needed).

Either check back here in a few days or use /checkupdates in a conversation to see if the new version is online.

I'll look into those suggestions but I don't think that either are particularly viable...watch this space
