I have tried with several failure attempts to get the msn image to show up in a profile
I tried puting in my msn email....msn username....even a hotmail address....and all i ver see is whatever i enter. No image. I tried editing includes files and still nothin. How can I make this link work and the image show?

Post the code (using bbcode tags) that you are trying to use.

ok I am editing includes/usercp_viewprofile.php and all it has is this.

Code:

$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msnm'] ) ? $profiledata['user_msnm'] : ' ';
$msn = $msn_img;

and I have been changing it to

Code:

$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msn'] ) ? '<a href="' . $profiledata['user_msn'] .
'"><img src="' . $images['icon_msnm'] . '" alt="' . $lang['MSN'] . '" title="' .
$lang['MSN'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : ' ';
$msn = ( $profiledata['user_msn'] ) ? '<a href="' . $profiledata['user_msn'] .
'">' . $lang['MSN'] . '</a>' : ' ';

and the file shows below there...

Code:

'MSN_IMG' => $msn_img, and this 'MSN' => $msn, and 'L_MESSENGER' => $lang['MSNM'],

so dunno where to fix it at I have went back to original file for now.

You don't see msnm in-between YIM and ICQ?

The link is not filled in because I don't use msn, nor do I know how to directly call it, but this will fix it.

Code:

$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msnm'] ) ? '<a href="#?screenname=' . $profiledata['user_msnm'] . '&message=Hello+Are+you+there?"><img src="' . $images['icon_msnm'] . '" alt="' . $lang['MSNM'] . '" title="' . $lang['MSNM'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : ' ';

In profile_view_body.tpl find something similar to (varies with each theme):

Code:

<td valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap" align="right">{L_MESSENGER}:</td>
<td class="row1" valign="middle">{MSN}</td>

Change to:

Code:

<td valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap" align="right">{L_MESSENGER}:</td>
<td class="row1" valign="middle">{MSN_IMG}</td>

Then in includes/usercp_viewprofile.php find:

Code:

$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msnm'] ) ? $profiledata['user_msnm'] : ' ';
$msn = $msn_img;

Change to:

Code:

$msn_img = ( $profiledata['user_msnm'] ) ? '<a href="profile-.html' .$profiledata['user_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_msnm'] . '" alt="' . $lang['MSM'] . '" title="' . $lang['MSM'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : '';
$msn = $msn_img;

I believe it displays your msn handle instead of the image in the profile by default because in the forums the image will take you to the user's profile, not much sense in having a link to the profile within the profile, but since you want the image i provide the code for it.

Just for interest's sake I have been visiting a few phpBB boards in the last hour and noticed that they all display msn this way in the profiles.
