Windows Live Messenger addon version 1.0

@FenG What version are you using?

@dgent if you cant get it to work outside of zencart then you must have missed something. go back and check each step is all i can suggest sorry.

Hi everyone I have installed live messenger on 2 of my zen cart sites all working well, until today. Both sites are so slow, I turned off messenger in the layout boxes controller and they are back to normal? Any help would be appreciated as this is a great tool and I would like to continue with it.
I am using ZC v 138.a

I experienced a slow performance in my site too, but that was when i was not home and accessed the web from another place. Besides, the sidebox is just there, i was offline.

Do you experience the same when you are logged in or it doesnt matter?

I am accessing from 2 computers from my office and both were really slow. I decided to use a process of elimination and since the last thing I did was install messenger I turned it off. As soon as it was turned off the site was nice and fast again. I turned it back on and the site was fine for a while and then it progressively got slower until it would not load pages at all. I noticed that my favicon was not showing either when the site was slow? I am not by any stretch of the imagination a code/php guru.. lol I wish I knew where to look for the issue I have done the google thing etc.. but no luck. Maybe the code is heavy on the servers resources? If you figure it out I will be very grateful and if I do I'll be sure to let you know.

I can't replicate any slow down on my site, could possibly another mod that you have on your site that is conflicting

I have this working perfectly now, I even have it as a link with the online icon in the top navigation button bar.

Customers use it every day, very useful.

Hi All,

Installed the mod without any issues, and with no noticable slow down in site performance - at this stage. :)

Just a quick question, is there a way of controlling where the chat box appears on the screen?

Mine opens up at the very top far right of the screen, would be nice to have it pop up in the middle of the screen.

Thank you in advane! :)

Following the instructions here, how do I "turn on the web chat function" for my new Windows Live account?

RTFM. :blush: Never mind.

Hi everyone, and THANKS to the publisher for sharing this WONDERFUL add on.

Everything works great!!! EXCEPT...

I installed Windows Live Messenger chat client on a website using the HTML code available at: http://settings.messenger.live.com/applications/WebSettings.aspx

The client works great for chat and no problems connecting.

The issue is that now my website (https://www.majesticsilver.co.uk), which has SSL certificate, gets security warnings from all browsers.

On Internet Explorer for example when opening my page it warns that "Only Secured content is displayed" and it will not display the chat button that links users to the live chat unless you select "show all content".

Google chrome throws up a security warning "this page includes resources which are not secure" (meaning the MSN chat button) and does not display HTTPS properly at the top of the screen, just https in red with a strike through line.

I know this is happening because the code included in http://settings.messenger.live.com/applications/WebSettings.aspx retrieves the Presence Button/link that is displayed on my website, https://www.majesticsilver.co.uk , in HTTP and not HTTPS, for example mine uses:

(this is only part of the code)

If I disable the Windows Live Messenger presence button from my pages I get no SSL security warnings so I know this is the cause.

Is there an alternative SECURE link to the Presence Button that I can use instead to avoid these errors which will scare people away from my website?

PLEASE HELP :unsure:

Have you had any success? I'm having the exact same issue.

I have not yet had success.

There are solutions posted in the Skype add on for overcoming these SSL issues, but skype is no good for me since you need a Skype account to chat.

It's impossible to find a good Proxy host in the UK and probably too expensive. So the Proxy solution in the MSN thread is also out of the question.

So the only option left is I'm going to pay a developer to kinda adapt the solution found for the skype SSL problem and try to adapt it here.

I should be back here to report within a week.:blink:

Take Care

For now, I had my webmaster disable the right nav column (where my windows live is located) while customers are using secure pages (e.g. registration, login, account area, etc). I'll have to also move items that I had in the right nav over to the left nav column such as my help section and privacy policy so that they are available at all times.

You dont have to disable the whole column, you can just have the messenger box disabled on secure pages.

Philip, EXCELLENT MODULE!! I had installed and working in ZC v1.3.9h in just minutes, and it works beautifully!!! Thank you for such an easy and elegant solution for implementing live chat on my site!!

How do I make it secure?

When I go to my site when the messenger sidebox is on a security warning pops up? Any way to fix that? My site is secure.

I'm using 1.3.8g and the latest version of messenger.

Is it possible to replace the presence button with a button of my own?
