Thanks,

I had the same problem - try using the previous version of toast message

sorry
i didn't realise there was a problem with that version
try signing out then signing in
the script writes the initial registry values when you sign in, as opposed to when it initializes
also, i'm fixing it up to add more try/catches (there should have been one for each registry call) and i'm replacing email with userId, for security.
if you really care, you can go into your registry and delete the entries that have your email address in them.

try the attached version. it won't work till you've done a sign-in with the script installed.

This looks better - it actually appears on the menu and makes toasts.  Haven't tested it properly yet - i'll be back

just comment out or delete the bit that says

code:

---

if(toastmsg==1){
MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Toast Message","Toast Message is ON");
}

---

it's lines 25 to 27
but make sure to leave the } that's on line 28

That alert that pops up when you sign in that tells you that Toast Message is on, if there was an audio clip that went with that, sorta like the Messenger notify sound, that would be sweet. And also an audio sound with the message that says Toast Message is on/off. Are you able to do that? Or is that too much work, or are you able to tell me what to do to make it do that?

sorry about the very late reply
for some reason i didn't get a notification about that post
anyways...
in my script, where you see something like MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Toast Message","Toast Message is ON"); just add the sound as a third parameter.
check the scripting documentation (http://mpscripts.net/docs.php?p=ref-msgplus-displaytoast.htm)

p.s. really minor update attached, but significantly different to what's on the first page of this thread. i just added an extra try/catch so that no registry call is unsafe.

HeyLo

First, Happy new year

and Bravo for your plugin, it"s wonderful...

just one noobish or complex question,

When a contact is first messaging you, the Live messenger chat popup and window will appear and then the toast, so in reality it would be necessary to kill the Live messenger message popup and window.. i hope my english is clear..
is that possible? so that if i receive a message, i only have the Toast...if i don"t want to answer i just wait for the toast to disapear, and if i want to, i click the Toast which will open the Live messenger Chat Window.

must be complex if it"s possible i guess.

Allright,  it was a stupid question, i found this option in Live Messenger itself....


as Jiggs said, it would have been super great to choose how long the toast stays on screen and the option for it to stay on forever until the user clicks the toast,  but if it"s not possible we have to come to terms with it...

Anyway i just love your plugin the way it is... keep going!

and Thanks

thanks for the compliments
there's no way for me to control the behavior of the toasts themselves short of making my  own toasts. check out the 'message scroller' script maybe? (can't be bothered to scrounge up the thread)
i am however (slowly) working on my alarm script, which makes a popup that stays on the screen till its been clicked when a designated contact signs in. the only posted version is a really rudimentary version that's vaguely useable. i'm working on it, and maybe it will eventually be adaptable to what you want.
it's a long term prospect though.
happy new year.
