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

P.S. Do I get no credit?

It's all explained on the page where you download:

This script offers options to automatically update your WLM Personal Message with your Facebook Status. The script allows you to enter a feed URL (the options window tells you how to find it), as well as a duration in minutes at which it should check for updates and an optional prefix to go before your status (eg: Facebook Status - Danny is happy), the part in italics being the prefix.

and it's been downloaded quite a few times and no-one's needed to post yet for support, lol

I might think about adding a readme or a help window or something, but it doesn't appear 100% necessary at the moment.

ps. first post amended

Ok, cool.

Btw, the www.new.facebook.com link, you don't need the .new any more.

Oh and an 'Update' button would be nice in the Settings.

Save=Update.....doesn't it?

Thanks for the heads up on the new. bit.....i thought i'd tried it without and it didn't work.

I'll change that for the next release

Kinda wanna get a few translations in before releasing it again tho....so i'm waiting for the requests, as per on the scripts database page

Can't get it working atm . Seems to have stopped working.

The save button hasn't updated it from previous attempts.

When you open the settings form does it show the correct link/timer/prefix that you set?

Is the link in the form:

http://www.facebook.com/feeds/status.php?id=xxxxx...oxxox&format=rss20

where x=numbers (same set twice) and xo= random combination of letters and numbers

Yeah it did. I re-installed and its working now.

This is great!
But what about making a script that interacts with all facebook's functions?
I mean, checking/updating your facebook's friends, status, photos and more directly from Messenger would be amazing, don't you think so? I am good in scripting, but facebook developer's documentation doesn't looks so simple..

If someone is interested in cooperating and trying to do this, contact me!

The facebook 'tab' on windows live messenger (if you have tabs enabled) can already do all of that kind of thing.

The script is not to interact with facebook, merely a simple one to connect their status to their PSM

I personally think you should be using the facebook API for the development because as it stands you need to update the URL everytime you want to use the script. This way could make the script two way. You can update your facebook withe song you are listening to or your current status etc.

The URL for your status feed never changes, so you only have to input it once.

My level of scripting is nowhere near high enough to be considering anything more advanced than this at the moment
