Tech-Recipes: AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) Hyperlink Command Codes | Instant messaging | Tech-Recipes

  • Michael · 5 years ago
    What keeps this code from working? I click on your example of the aim and nothing. I even went through AOL's wizard, again no action. Are there any caveats when using this to engage an IM session from the webpage?
  • AlexTheBeast · 5 years ago
    You just have to have AIM installed.

    http://www.tech-recipes.com/modules.php?name=Recipes&rx_id=500

    For people in the forums, the original hyperlinks sometimes get screwy when viewing the comments. The URL above will take you back to the original recipe for trying the codes.

    Gotcha, I have Trillan installed not AIM - so that is an issue... Thanks
  • AlexTheBeast · 5 years ago
    Too funny... I was just testing it with my trillian client as well.

    I agree that trillian ignores the aim codes. (I wonder why...)

    Welcome to the site.
  • Michael · 5 years ago
    My next question is, and this is probably the wrong forum, but have you seen any where a way to get the online status for MSN Messenger with out using a service?

    Michael
  • Michael · 5 years ago
    I have an answer to my first question of Trillian... It appears that Trillian's new release has a flag in the configuration area. To use AIM linked by a website with Trillian, this version must be installed AND have the check box checked to allow Trillian to be the AIM receiver from a link.

    The answer to my last question is... Yes, there is a way to do the same linking with MSN... After about 5 hours of searching, I found it... these people figured it out, just view the source of this link.

  • AlexTheBeast · 5 years ago
    Sweet. I found the setting in my configuration of trillian, but it was already selected. Even with this enabled, trillian seems to be ignoring the aol: codes.

    Hmmmppp...

    Thanks for the msn information. I (or somebody) needs to crank that into a recipe soon <hint, hint> :)

    Thanks for the posts... I love seeing the forums get more active.

    I have been really disappointed that there are not more cool things to do with IM clients.
  • Kevin · 5 years ago
    hi im in the aim scene and there are plenty of undiscovered AIM html commands... such as aim:Prefs?Preftype=Privacy <-- that would open up the privacy settings in AIM... me and some other people are working on finding a command that can maybe block everyone, and using the other pref commands.. so their AIM would be changed without them knowing it..
  • AlexTheBeast · 5 years ago
    Kevin --

    Welcome to techrx!

    If you figure out some killer aim codes, post a recipe. You might win the $75 gift certificate. We certainly would love to post the information for you.

    Hello.
    I need to know what commands open AIM from a button in a form instead of hyperlinks.
    <form><input type=button onclick="location.href='aim:goIM?screenname=somebody'"></form>

    this code gives good performance on netscape6 or higher but gives error with netscape 4.5.

    do you know how to solve this problem?

    thanks
  • Anonymous · 5 years ago
    <form name='imform'>
    <input type='text' name='imname'>
    <input type='text' name='immsg'>
    <input type='button' onClick='window.location.href= 'aim:goim?screenname='+document.imform.imname+'&msg='+document.imform.immsg;">
    You might need to add something to get rid off spaces in name and msg, btu that is the basice idea.
  • AlxA612 · 5 years ago
    thank you, this is an useful idea for an aim form, but it doesn't solve the problem for AIM's launch by a form with netscape 4.5.

    do you know the code for the thing where you click between the stars and press F2, and a message appears??
  • Anonymous · 5 years ago
    your answer to a button would be <input type="button" onClick="aim:theCode?theCommand=theValue" value="AIM ME" name="">
  • mitch · 5 years ago
    aim:addbuddy will add a buddy!
    use ?screename=name

    so for example to add me to the group buddies it would be <a href="aim:addbuddy?screename=bjcomputerfreak&group=buddies">add meadd me

  • profquadrangle · 5 years ago
    type:
    <!--YOUR MESSAGE HERE-->
    then cut that onto your clipboard, right click and select "Paste Plaintext".
    If there is no typing following it, such as a space or a character, then </BODY></HTML> will appear directly following your message after someone clicks and hits F2.
    Putting this as the last line in your away message without any character following it will cause the bar that seperates your away message from your profile (this bar is seen by Windows users) to disappear.

    Tried doing that- nothing worked.

    Here's my steps:

    typed : <!--My Message-->

    Cut it from the profile

    Pasted it as plain text

    nothing showed up.

  • Bhavman · 4 years ago
    There also another problem that messes up the Hidden Message thing from working, YOU HAV to hav Aim 4.7 installed or it wont work right. any newer version after 4.7 wont work.

    Download Aim 4.7 from this site: http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=aim

    Then once u hav the Aim 4.7 installed open Notepad dont use microsoft word!!! THen type in *<!!-- Your MEssage --!!>* (Obiously u would put wat u want to were it says YOur Message) Now copy the whole thing and paste it into ur Profile or Away Message. Be sure to include instructions for ur friends: EX. Click on the Stars and press F2 to reveal MY Away message. THis works perfect if u follow every step.

    if you have aim, you can link a screen name. go to "My AIM" then click "Manage Linked Screen Names..." Click "Link/Unlink Screen Names" then you can add your other screen names.

    You may be wondering how to do the click between the stars and push F2 trick. it's very easy once you get to know it.
    1. start and untitled notepad page
    2. type <!!-- your message --!!> (but type what you want where it says "your message")
    3.copy paste what you've done wherever you want to place it, but make sure before you copy it you make [**] and copy it between the stars.
    4. get rid of any remaining !'s -'s and <'s
    5. highlight your text, and hit F2

    Awesome recipe! You should totally copy and paste it into a seperate new recipe! That'll help people find it a lot better.

    You can add new recipes here.

    If you need somebody to host the images, I'll be glad to copy them over to our servers.

    Thanks for the welcome!

    I've got the images under control, Imageshack.us hosts images for free, they rock.

    I'm going to take your advice and post it to a new recipe.

    Oops, that was me. I forgot to log in... :P

    And somehow a list code got in there... oh well.

    Posting to a new recipe...

    Awesome. Just validated it.

    I'm going to remove your forum post and direct people to the recipe. It obviously good enough that people should be able to chat about it seperately.

    Strong work. We hope to see you do a lot more.

    Is there a way that i can link people to a website and have these launch automatically with out them clicking on AIM code link?

    Also is there a way to send a message to everyone on my buddy list?
  • Anonymous · 4 years ago
    I tried the add buddy and IM code. The add buddy always gave me invalid parameters when I clicked on it and the IM code never had a screename to send to. But the links I set up were to add and IM a screename I had linked to the one I clicked on the codes with, so is it possible that the codes don't work if two screenames are linked? Can someone please confirm this for me...

    I used the code aim:goim?screenname=SCREENNAME&message=MESSAGE
    to send messages to people. Is there anything i can add to the code so I don't have to physically then press the send button in order to send it?

    I don't think so... I've never seen something like that. Are you planning to have a link in your profile to send death threats to the white house or something?

    (actually type your message)
    3.in your profile type [*
    4.then copy/paste the whole thing from notepad after the [*
    (no space between)
    5.after your message, type *] click between the stars and press f2
    6.press F2 and close it
    7. you're done

    EXAMPLE:
    1.open notepad

    mmk,

    to d othe f2 trick you need to go into notepad, type <!-- your message here -->

    make sure you have spaces or stars around it other wise it will not work.

    so it would look like *<!-- blah -->*

    there you go

    what exactly is a carriage- is it supposed to follow thru with the action of sending? does anybody know how to do this if that's not what a carriage is?
  • Anonymous · 2 years ago

  • caz · 1 year ago
    well i looked at this entire page
    i saw how to set up codes for chat, IM and chatroom.
    but never didi see anything to do with inserting a hyperlink i an email that s done by aim.
    aim is graphically a rip off and shouldnt even be used at all. im looking for a way to not use it.
  • Anonymous · 1 year ago
    does anyone know what the aim code is that changes someones status message?...not the away message, the status message...i had it a while ago but i cant find it anywhere
  • Nora · 1 year ago
    Great information. I found out that it supports HTML, so I could add a carriage return by using the line break tag. For instance:

    aim:goim?screenname=SCREENNAME&message=hello
    how are you?
  • Nora · 1 year ago
    oh.. apparently the comment function supports HTML too, so let met try the example again:

    aim:goim?screenname=SCREENNAME&message=hello
    how are you?

    otherwise go to Step 13 of my online HTML course
