O.P. online time script
i did run a search for this script's thread but cant find one for it so do excuse me if there is one.

i have a suggestion for a new feature, can you add a way to configure the time format displayed in your PSM so instead of

seconds, minutes, hours, days

it could display as

days, hours, minutes, seconds.

or a variety of other prebuilt formats for the user to choose from.

RE: online time script
What do you mean 'instead of seconds, minutes, hours, days'. Where is this? A different script?

O.P. RE: online time script
ok heres the script i am talking about, the attached script determines how long you have been signed in to your Windows Live messenger and display the results in your personal message. it presently displays it as

Online Time: 37 Seconds 41 Minutes 6 Hours 0 Days

however i feel that the format is too confusing i would prefer that that information had been displayed as.

Online Time: 0 Days 6 Hours 41 Minutes 37 Seconds

you could event do it like:

Online Time: 00:06:41:37

the point is a variety of variations on format would be offered and the user could make a choice on how that information is displayed to them based on their personal preference.

RE: online time script
This is Line 32 of the Online Time.js
code:
var OnlineTime = "Online Time: " + Sec + " Seconds " + Min + " Minutes " + Hrs + " Hours " + Days + " Days";

Why not just change it to what you want?
code:
var OnlineTime = "Online Time: " + Days + " Days " + Hrs + " Hours " + Min + " Minutes " +  Sec + " Seconds";

Wasn't that hard was it?

Or if you want to get fancy

code:
var OnlineTime = 'Online Time:';
if (Days > 1){
    OnlineTime += Days + ' Days';
}else if (Days == 1){
    OnlineTime += Days + ' Day';
}

if (Hrs > 1){
    OnlineTime += Hrs + ' Hours';
}else if (Hrs == 1){
    OnlineTime += Hrs + ' Hour';
}

if (Min > 1){
    OnlineTime += Min + ' Minutes';
}else if (Min == 1){
    OnlineTime += Min + ' Minute';
}

if (Secs > 1){
    OnlineTime += Secs + ' Seconds';
}else if (Secs == 1){
    OnlineTime += Secs + ' Second';
}

RE: online time script
1) Simply edit the script to show a different line. The script is dead easy (even for those who don't know much about programming). The only line you should change is
code:
var OnlineTime = "Online Time: " + Sec + " Seconds " + Min + " Minutes " + Hrs + " Hours " + Days + " Days";
to
code:
var OnlineTime = "Online Time: " + Days + " Days " + Hrs + " Hours " + Min + " Minutes " + Sec + " Seconds";


2) Note that the script is poorly written. I would actually not suggest to use it in its current form as it doesn't take in account singular values, doesn't take in account flood limits, constantly needs JScript to change the type of variables (string and numbers are mixed), you can't turn it off, etc, etc...


3) The script is very very highly annoying to all your contacts since it changes your personal message every second; be prepared to get banned from your contacts' contactlists when you use it.


EDIT: I need to refresh before I reply

RE: online time script
Myself I would do something like this:

code:
var time_counter;

function OnEvent_Signin(sEmail){ MsgPlus.AddTimer('uptime',10000); }

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    if (sTimerId == 'uptime') {   
        time_counter = time_counter + 10;

        var days = time_counter / (24 * 3600);
        if (days > 0){ timer_counter = timer_counter - (24*3600*days); }
        var hours = timer_counter / 3600;
        if (hours > 0){ timer_counter = timer_counter - (3600*hours); }
        var minutes = timer_counter / 60;
        Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = 'Online Time: ' + days + ':' + hours + ':' + minutes;
        Debug.Trace(Messenger.MyPersonalMessage);
        MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId,10000);
    }
}

Might work now I fixed a small part of the code.

Less processing time because I am not comparing strings to numbers. When you compare a string to a number Javascript has to convert it internally to be able to compare it.

sorry matty but they way you coded it has bropken the script and it will no longer function at all. from what i can see from testing the code the original code is the only version that works, if you can give me a working code then ill test it.
