Today was the first opportunity to test with the World Cup matches and it seems to work correctly

Seems to be working flawlessly, nice job

The script looks very well made .

Though I would suggest to add the new auto-update info tags (<UpdateId> and <BuildNumber>) in the ScriptInfo.xml for your script to avoid possible future update problems. See the scripting documentation for more info, or Auto-Update for Skins & Scripts FAQ

---------------------

PS: It would be a perfect script to list on the new Plus!Sports site.
EDIT: oh, I should've read more posts before posting

Cool script!  We've promoted it directly from www.plussports.com

Looking forward to seeing it in action once the World Cup starts.

EDIT2: Nathalie, where exactly is it promoted? I can't see it anywhere... 
though I have all the ads blocked at the moment (because of my HOSTS file). If it is in an ad: Why not adding it to a direct link somewhere in the header for example? I might not be the only one who have certain ad-sites being blocked in the HOSTS file (I'm using a rather popular hosts file which many other people also use).

It's at the top of the header, next to the network links:


Not the best place to put it though, could use some better placing.

Mm, it took me quite a while to find it up there as well.....but then again I'm guessing that it's the only place on the site they actually have control over, as the rest of the content comes from elsewhere

i couldnt find it yesterday either, and i was actually looking for it. i guess someone who's not would never find it

Damn, I really should look better (and not with very sleepy eyes)... And to think I even suggested to place it there.. lol

Seems to be a fine place to me though; not intrusive, yet easy accessable. Though it could use some eye candy so it stands out more. Afterall, it's the only thing linking this site directly to Messenger Plus! (aka: bring in more users )

I released a new version of the World Cup script today. Now the team names will be displayed in the selected language (English, Dutch, German). The preferences window contains an update button to download new languages.

I'm looking for translators. Interested? Send an email to softwareATewix.nl.

You get the option of inserting the scores into your 'name' or 'personal' message, could there not be an option for 'neither'? If you just want the goal notifications, but don't want to broadcast it to your contacts?

Although a workaround would probably be to just not insert the [matches] tag into either.

Correct, I don't have the matches tag in either and I don't get the scores coming up in my name or personal message.
