Extension talk:IM Status

i18n
First I want to say that this is realy nice work, thank you. I would like to help creating a German translation for the Help. I think it would useful when there would be a i18n file with the messages or when the messages would be translatable throug translatewiki/Betawiki DaSch 22:17, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm still learning how all this extension stuff works, and I don't have much spare time currently... I think I'll be able to make a version with a i18n file by mid-june. Or maybe I could post the code here in a subpage? The main reason why I didn't do it yet is because I was afraid it might mess up with the code indentation. Patheticcockroach 05:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not that nessasary. I think mid-june is enough for me. DaSch 18:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm really stuck in there. Localizing the extension seemed pretty straight forward... until I got this very weird error:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfMsg in /www/extensions/IM/IMStatus.php on line 51
 * Undefined wfMsg? All other extensions use it, wtf? Anyway, any help about this would be welcomed, the documentation (wfMsg, Extensions) says nothing about this (do I need to include some file, etc?). Patheticcockroach 09:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I think this is important, here the file is loadd


 * then second this is important

 * Thanks. I already had the first part. The second part, though, gives the same kind of result as wfMsg:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfLoadExtensionMessages in /www/extensions/IM/IMStatus.php on line 41
 * Patheticcockroach 20:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind I figured it out: for some reason wfLoadExtensionMessages and wfMsg must be called from inside functions... I can start working on the localization now :) Patheticcockroach 20:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay very nice. After your next release I will create a german translation. --DaSch 21:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. To make your translation just edit Extension:IM_Status/IMStatus.i18n.php. And to test it, use it with the beta. Patheticcockroach 17:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Made it easier now that the extension is in . Cheers! Siebrand 20:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

MS Communicator
Great Work. Could someone get it to work with Microsoft Communicator in a corporate environment?

 * This extension uses IM status services for websites provided by the makers of the various IM programs: for instance, for Skype I used this... Do you know if Microsoft Communicator provides the same kind of service? After a quick search I didn't find anything. I'll search more tomorrow, but if you happen to have any information on such a feature, it would help :) Patheticcockroach 21:36, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I can't seem to find any official pre-made status checker :/ The help doesn't even mention this option. Did anyone get more luck than me? Patheticcockroach 14:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
