I have been working with this module as of late and have come across an issue with MSN Hotmail accounts. I have created my account over at hotmail: ant92083@hotmail.com. From there I have added three contacts. When I use the importer form (with the right credentials checked and rechecked) I get the following error: MSN Messenger login information is invalid or your buddy list is empty, if you are sure that your buddy list is not empty then please try again and make sure that you have typed the correct login information.

Does this mean that hotmail is not supported as a valid contact list to import (seems that it should as my msn messenger account is based from my hotmail account). Would you have any insight into this?

Regards,

Anthony

Do we need to update the importMsnm.class.php?

Another issue is we should not force to replace the email domain by "@hotmail.com" for MSN Message. We actually can use many different email to register MSN message. For me, I use msn.com account.

To fix it, find function dcl_importer_form_submit in dcl_importer.module. then change the top part of the function to

function dcl_importer_form_submit($form_id, $edit) {
  $provider = $edit['provider'];
  $password = $edit['password'];
  $username = $edit['username'];
  if($provider != 'M' && $provider != 'S') {
    //Disable this
		//$username[0] = $username[0].'@hotmail.com';
		$username = explode('@', $edit['username']);
		$username = $username[0];
  } 

  $contacts = dcl_importer_get_contacts($username, $password, $provider);

I'm marking this issue as "won't fix". The D5 version of this module is no longer being maintained. The original version had scripts that no longer worked and some that weren't compatible with the GPL. The D6 version is being developed now and is a complete re-write using the OpenInviter library. If you wish to submit a backport to D5 I'll be happy to add that to CVS. Please see the project page for more details.
