ok the way to do this is just like in gradient script you have a list of all your contacts, and you set a message, as with my gradient groups suggestion what you could do is allow users to create "Greeting groups" so people in those groups get greeted one way while people in another are greeeted differently, and yes a default message for undefined, but you will need a UI for this to work, couldnt Jay Jay maybe help with the UI?

Thanks for the idea.  I thought this script was just about dead and buried .  Once I sort this out for one of the scripts it will be easy to do for the other.  I'm starting to make some ideas on how I'm going to go about it but I think it will be a while before I perfect it.  I'd like to make sure that this feature works very well before releasing it because I'm sure there will be other script that will implement it too.

Btw, a UI isn't too much effort, I don't really need Jay_Jay for it but I'm just to lazy to do it for myself

really how easy is it to do a UI then? cause i wouldnt mind doing a UI to get used to how there done but obviously i am not too sure how to get started etc not to mention how do you code it to the script.

EDIT: i had a go at trying to cut and paste extracts from other scripts into the necesarry files required to build a UI however my attempt ended in absolute failure and i am out of ideas, if the window designer was built this would have been easy i reckon.

The UI is simple once you start getting use to a few basics of it.  I didn't mean it was easy for starting to do it from the start   The harder side of it I think  is the scripting to make it all work.  I've still had to do all the scripting with Gradient including the things that go with the UI so it isn't too much for me.  Have fun with your attempts though, you'll get there soon when you start to understand it all.

Nice work. Keep it up!

Nice script, I'm still using it.

Ok, well I have made an update for the scripting comp.  At lest this time when I (re-)coded it I knew what I was doing (I now have a window but have less lines of code ) See the first post for all the info on it .  I hope you all keep using it.

ok sorry to say this but after download v1.5 and importing it it tells me i cannot run it, i think there must be a coding error somewhere.

Thanks for telling me, it should run now.  I can't believe I missed the quotes, and missed the syntax error in the debug.  I was rushed because I wanted to get to bed an people had been continually talking all night, it is all my fault thouh and I'm yet again sorry for releasing a dodgy script.

its ok markee i can easily understand how these things happen. thanks markee the script loads fine now but the apply and save buttons of the preferences window don't work, cancel button works though so present the script cant store anything.
