Add A Yahoo Instant Messenger Status Icon To Your Board.
This is my first CT&T coding, and it's pretty simple, this code will allow you to have a image/icon on your board and be able to click on it to send someone an IM through Yahoo Instant Messenger, (works with all versions of Yahoo Instant Messenger including 5.4, 6.0, and 7.0b).
The other persons details will need to be entered in first, so make sure you get permission from them, (you can also add yourself, of course).
To see this code in action, head to Balamb SeeD Garden
Here is the coding, (variables are in bold, optional parts are underlined).
Put this code into your Custom Header:
<*a href=http://p202.ezboard.com/uscottbull.showPublicProfile*>Scott Bull<*/a> is: <*a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=scottychan2004&.src=pg"*>
The first section in bold is your board designation, make sure that the p-designation matched that of your board, (this will enable you to link to the persons profile, though you can remove this part so it just displays text, (if so, remove the part that is underlined).
The 2nd part in bold is the user/profile URL, (if the person is a local user, change it to "uscottbull@balambseedgarden.showPublicProfile
Note: the parts in bold much be changed to match the EzBoard local account and the board name.
The 3rd part is what you wish the persons username to show up as, (this could be their EzBoard username, or their Yahoo username).
The 4th part is their Yahoo IM username, you don't need to enter any .co.uk or .com here as all Yahoo usernames for the IM are globally linked accross all versions.
This coding has been tested with IE6, though it should work with most browsers.
If you encounter any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me, also, please feel free to post your opinions about this code here, and what you think of it, I welcome sincere and legit criticism.
