This script will update your WLM Personal Message with your Facebook status

Version 1.31 is a small update to fix the problem with settings not being remembered after exiting Messenger

Version 1.30 includes a reset button to remove all settings and to remove your PSM and an update button to force an instant update of your PSM to reflect any changes in feed link or prefix.  It also adds a feature to remove a certain number of letters from the front of your status (spaces DO count), so that for example you can remove your name, or the next word from your status.  Example:

Facebook status: Danny is watching new Lost

Enter '9' in the box, produces this: Watching new Lost

Version 1.22 changes the URL for the feed link (as the .new bit isn't needed) and fixes a bug with the autoupdate and is now live on the Scripts Database

Version 1.21 includes minor fixes and is now live on the Scripts Database

Version 1.2 includes a Settings window where you can set:

1. The URL to use for the feed (with a link to discover it, as per the instructions below)
2. A prefix to appear before the feed item
3. A duration in minutes to check for updates


URL instructions:

1. http://www.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11
2. Right click on 'My Status' and choose 'Copy shortcut'

Thanks! I am going to try this right now.

Thanks for making it .

How can I add "Facebook status:" or something, before the actual status? I tried to edit the code but failed.

Change line 30 from

code:

---

Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = newPsm;

---

to

code:

---

Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "Facebook Status:" + newPsm;

---

that should do it

Thanks

Need a space after the colon. Also put it in brackets.

code:

---

Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "[Facebook Status:] " + newPsm;

---

Great script

Next update should include an interface where you can put the URL in a textbox, rather than in the coding. Or something that automatically gets it for you, if possible.

The text box should be do-able, I'll work on that, however I don't think I can do something to automatically get it for you, as the link has to include your unique facebook ID and also an authorisation key as an identifier that you're allowed access to the feed.

But I agree that a textbox would be a nice solution to at least avoid having to edit the code.

While you're at it, also let people specify how it is displayed. Like, a text box where you can use %status to insert the status. Too early for me to be able to explain properly But there would be one box where you enter the feed and another where you enter how you want it displayed (for example "[Facebook Status:] %status" in the case of Chris4).

Updated to version 1.2 with both of the above suggestions, see original post

Updated version now live on scripts database

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/503-Facebook-Status

Doesn't explain what the "prefix" is, how to get the "feed link", or what the "timer" is.

It needs instructions, not just a link to this thread in the About window.

P.S. Do I get no credit?
