Aim Status Helper

AimStatusHelper

=========

Jon Maddox jon@jonsthoughtsoneverything.com http://www.simplisticcomplexity.com

The aim status helper allows you to show if someone is online with the AOL Instant Message network. Simply pass in their AIM name, and the helper will display their AIM name plus a green dot if they’re online, a red dot if they’re offline. Their AIM name will have a link that will let a user click to message them.

Usage:

<%= aim_status(:aim_name) %>

Optionally pass in :show_text to show text other than the AIM name.

<%= aim_status("maddox123456", :show_text => ‘Jon Maddox’) %>

use ‘rake update_aim_images’ if the online and offline images didn’t get placed in /public/images.
