Seeing as Stuffplug has been delayed, is there a script available (or easy to make) that can open links such as Inbox and Spaces in my default browser, Firefox? The feature was very handy in Stuffplug and I'm sure many other people miss it as I do.
Thanks

with a normal plugin you can subclass events meaning, you intercept the button click, and execute the code, and send the 'click' on it's normal path...
With scripts you can't do this though, so the only thing I can think of, is make your own button... and put it over the inbox button, but that isn't that easy either...

StuffPlug is going to have this feature (open in default browser) but isn't out yet (for WLM)

If you need any more help, just ask... that's what we're here for

Out of my league, and maybe I am wrong, but the Xsniffer script that was made... could that not intercept the click, and redirect the link to open in whatever the default browser is? I know that the default browser is held in a reg key, so maybe that makes things easier.

This is really the only thing I miss from Stuffplug .

Xsniffer simply listens on sockets, it sees packets your receive/sent from/to the internet, not clicks you make in msn

It'd be hard to monitor the clicks too, as that's not a toolbar button control, or a button control, it's a windowless control - meaning it has no handle and is completely drawn/handled by messenger internally.

i miss the feature and stuff plug is taking soooo long.

you could use this to open websites in the default browser

code:

---

var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
Shell.run("http://www.google.com");

Thinking of it...

You might be abled to make little window with a button on it and place it over the mail button.

Like with TimeZone only on the Contact List window, won't be the same, but might just work...

It would work but it would take a very advanced scripter
Maybe shondoit could do it as he made TimeZone?

Only problem would be, how would you make it stay there and not just vanish every time you ran WLM

Hmm interesting. And making it stay there would be done using the Messenger API, the same way iTunes+ does it for the miniplayer.

It would have to be a transparrant button tho and there would be issues with patches...
