Hi all,
After several attempts I managed to integrate a library for CodeIgniter extract hotmail contacts and so a user can send invitations for example, just how does facebook, hi5 .. etc.
These libraries are made on the basis phpListgrab and MSNPauth the Daniel Winter.
In this moment, i use two libraries.. but later y make only one whit other sources.
You can use this library.. sending the email and password beetwen ajax and return a message for the result the process.
so.. go it!!
Controller
function import_msn()
{
$this->load->model('modemsn','import_msg');
if($this->import_msg->grabber_msn()){
echo $this->set_msg('ok!!!');
}else{
echo $this->set_msg('failed');
}
}
Now, supose what you send in the form the parameters the account e-mail and password.. i load the model.. in the model have the code for conect to msn and extract the contacts.
Model
.
.
.
.
function grabber_msn()
{
$params = array('user' => $this->input->post('user'), 'password' => $this->input->post('password'));
$this->load->library('phpListgrab', $params);
$ret = $this->phplistgrab->grab();
if (!$ret)
{
switch ($this->phplistgrab->result)
{
case ERR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED:
echo '<p>Authentication failed.</p>';
break;
case ERR_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE:
echo '<p>Failed to connect to server.</p>';
break;
}
}
foreach ($this->phplistgrab->lists[LIST_FORWARD] as $contact)
{
$ndatos = array (
'id_usuario' => $this->session->userdata('id'),
'friend' => $contact['passport']);
$this->db->insert('import_contacts',$ndatos);
}
}
Explanation
So.. in the model i make a array for send the data account the user.. this array send whit parameter to the library whe its load.
later, call the function grab and storage the result in $ret for check if connect or not to the service.
and in the last part.. call the function “lists” for retrive the contact information, in this case.. i read the data and storage inmediatly in the database, using whit id_usuario, the id th user what give the friends.
In the zip file, you hace two files.
phplistgrabber = class
msnpauth = class
Put this class in your folder libraries and enjoy!
