Hi there! Im trying to add tabs to my wlm. If you know how to add tabs, please let me know… Thanks!
You could just change the configuration server to something else and give the required XML response. That way you can control what tabs the client gets by changing the MsgrConfig response.
Nothing else would actually be affected, as the config server redirection only targets (muser.)config.messenger.msn.com.
For WLM/Client Version 8.0 (or higher), the MsgrConfig request is a GET request to /Config/MsgrConfig.asmx
.
For MSN Messenger 6.0 to 7.5, it’s a SOAP (bleh!) request to the same endpoint, which means you have to put the MsgrConfig data in the SOAP envelope in the body data.
Otherwise, I don’t know.
What do you mean with tabs exactly? Like, tabs on the chat windows?
no like… links. like facebook, msn weather, and you know… that stuff
Oh, on 8.5 and below you can’t edit them as far as I know, only on 2009
You can! If only you had access to the configuration server
Oh great! But how do i get access?
You can’t.
But then how did the people in 2009 added tabs to wlm so easily?
How do i edit them?
for Escargot Switcher 2.x: msnmsgr.exe-escargot.ini
:
[options]
type=msn
server=msnmsgr.escargot.chat
configserver=localhost
I feel like we’re just pulling straws past this point.
hmm. sorry. im too dumb to understand that… like there must be a program to edit them. maybe messengerplus or smth. idk man. its just cool and i wanna add links
Tabs are entirely server-side on all versions. Unless you’re running your own config server, you don’t.
maybe from regedit. or opening msn with notepad??? there must be a way dude…
As already stated multiple times, tabs on MSN are entirely server-side. There is no way to change them without running your own MsgrConfig service, and making your client connect to that instead of Escargot’s official one.
