roadmap Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Does anyone know the code that will allow site visitors to click on a aim icon giving them the option to save the image as their default icon? Also does anyone know if the image has to be a .ico or can it be any image? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Hi, Do you have a site link where this occurs already? Jim Quote
DarqFlare Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 www.badassbuddy.com is the only one I know of, but I think it's been acquired by Bolt (Evil, evil empire). It still works though. Quote
vendlus Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 well, I don't have aim installed, so I can't test anything with it. Sorry. From clicking on the link, I get an error page (I assume because I don't have aim installed for it to connect to). The link there is >aim:BuddyIcon?Src=http://beta3.badassbuddy.com:8081/images/buddies/badassbuddy_com-sexy.gif Could that be the code?? Not sure how they are implementing it though. They have it in a page called "checkicon.phtml". Quote
roadmap Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 Hi, Do you have a site link where this occurs already? Jim Here ia the site ran across before. http://www.ballericons.com/ When you click on the icon it will ask if you want to change to that icon. I'll look at those other sites and try that code vendlus has. Quote
vendlus Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Ok, that code I found before is the same as the one you listed, but this place doesn't process it in another file, so it's easier to see what they are doing. Here's what they have for their icons. ><a href="aim:BuddyIcon?src=http://www.ballericons.com/icon/58856.gif"> <img src="/icon/58856.gif" border=0 alt=""></a> So it looks like you just have to link to aim:BuddyIcon?src=, then have the address to your image file. Both of them we've seen here use gif's, so I'd start with that and make sure it works before trying any other find of image. Hope that helps, - Vendlus Quote
roadmap Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 Thanks to all, I will get to this asap. Quote
vendlus Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Anytime. Let us know how it goes. That might be fun to implement on a site of mine someday. Quote
