Script to display iChat status on my website?

[freaky]

Does anybody know of a script that can be added to a Mac that will allow me to show my online/offline status in iChat on my website? If not, is anybody willing to do something like this in PHP or Cocoa?

AIM in Windoze has this feature and I looked through the preferences in iChat and didn't see it. AIM uses an URI and sends an image to show people's status on their websites. It will either redirect to an on or off image. Here's an example of the URL that it sends out from AIM:

http://big.oscar.aol.com/SCREENAME?on_url=http://domain.com/image_on.gif&off_url=http://domain.com/image_off.gif

Yes, if you have Konfabulator, there is a Widget that you can use to retrieve your iChat status and then upload a corresponding picture to your website.

I've been using it on my personal site for a few months now and it works pretty well. From looking at the comments, some other people haven't been so lucky. You'll need FTP access to your files for this to work. If your host doesn't have FTP access, you may be out of luck with this method.

Good luck getting it to work.

Thanks for the info Henry. I've been trying to get it to work for the past half hour now and it isn't working for me. Bummer!
