The code from the mini website is if you want to embed the sig in a standard webpage (not a forum page).
To populate it, make sure your Astra display name (Preferences->My Astra Profile) has the information in place. If you're not using any widgets, add some and you should be golden.

There it is :) Though I am online, so it looks like there are still some bugs somewhere along the way. The "Get It Now!" button also doesn't seem to work (at least on this BBS). I've also filled out my Astra profile and all that (widgets, metacontact info and such) so I'm not sure what's wrong.
EDIT: It seems the Firefox popup blocker was blocking the popups in the sig from links like "Get It Now!". When I allow popups from CS it works fine.

It appears to pull it's data from http://ASTRANAME_HERE.trillianastra.com/profile
When I visit that page with the astra username filled in of people where mini works, it shows a neat XML page, but when I try it for the people without a working mini is returns nothing at all.
However, http://ASTRANAME_HERE.trillianastra.com/icon does seem to work, showing the icons of those people.
Looks like something is wrong on the server side?

How again do we get our widgets into the sig? I have privacy set to everyone as well.There are 2 places 2 set privacy for each widget. The first place is looking at your list if widgets and making sure that is set right. Then, after you have picked a widget you know how you go to set what you want, like happy for the moods? Make sure that it is set to everyone there also. There was a conflict in settings for me and it made a difference.

For the music widget to work you do have to change some settings. Go to the widget preferences and click the pencil and then choose to have it get it's information from the Music Updater. If you don't do that it will not work. :)
It says in the widget that it works with WMP, Winamp, and iTunes.

How do you get the different messenger icons working? I just have the Astra icon in my Astra mini.
Concerning the refresh time of the profile I would prefere a 3 minute refresh instead of refreshing every 5 minutes because otherwise the music playing gagdet is a little bit useless showing only every second song.
And I would like to chose German weather as well as American weater in the weather gagdet :p

What forum software are you using?
In vB3 it is a matter of putting the BB Codes in the "Custom BB Code Manager". I will check with the guys and see if it's ok to hand out the actual code that makes it work. I am not sure if they want it hitting super busy forums with our servers being so shiny and new. :)

Powered by phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/) 2.0.22 - That's the current version of our boards, so it won't be clean. I've built BB Code before, but if I can leverage what you have all done that would make it a million times easier.

Luckily widgets will be able to be created by users so we can add to the list of music players the music widget can update from. I use Musicmatch Jukebox and I think it's fairly common and would love to see compatibility for it.

The one thing I've noticed about this. Right now, if anyone knows your Astra username, said person can see your online status. Anyone. By just going to the Trillian Mini site and entering your Astra username. In other words, there is currently no privacy for this. Will there be an option for turning access to this feature off, if you so desire, in the future?

...but my sig hasn't updated with anything new.
At best it showed just my Astra connection and an old Away message (which never changed).
I'm using the other mediums, but they never appeared. Am I missing something?
My TrillianAstra webpage page allowing for "remote" Trillian also just has the Astra connection with all other mediums missing their log-in information, for some reason. Could this be connected somehow?
Widgets are set to Everyone... no dice there either.
Maybe a bad install for me? Router? Firewall?
Sorry. :(
I change in my profile Coffee-Turtle to CoffeeTurtle so as not to use the hyphen. The hyphen appears as %2D. That worked last night, but it's back this morning. (Probably since Trilian crashed this morning with a C++ error).
Thanks.

Here is the pertinent quote from the announcement:

http://forums.ceruleanstudios.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19848&stc=1&d=1170490960
"Option" is the color and the "value" is your Astra login name. You have to be an Astra user and the color codes are included on www.trillianmini.com (http://www.trillianmini.com/).
This sig will only work on our forums (at the moment) but the flash will work anywhere.

I don't know how your boards work (I haven't seen the admin panel) but on vB3 you have to put the BB Codes in the "Custom BB Code Manager". That's where you specify the [trillian_minibar...] and [/trillian_minibar...] part.

I don't like how the status icons run right behind the widgets.They should drop down to a next row when widgets are turned on, or be moved so that they can run across with out going behind anything.
Also I noticed the service icon colors are different.AIM is orange, Icq is a lighter green, Jabber is a lighter purple.IRC, MySpace, and Rendezvous have no icons yet.

I cannot get my Trillian Mini to update properly, or at all. I've tried the log in to WebAstra thing, but it won't update and use the widgets I've specified nor show my status... Does it just take a long time before it updates or is it really flaky?

I believe they are working on the code quite a bit still, as well as the servers, so there are going to be glitches. Patience is a virtue. :) Also, you can go to bugzilla and enter a bug or update an existing one if necessary. Just follow the instructions in your alpha email.

Just an observation, but Mini only shows three widgets in the signature. What if you've got more than 3 loaded. Case in point, I'm using the following:
Weather
Music
Mood
Time
So, how do we modify the tool to adjust for more than the current spacing? Is this adjustable, or do we have to re-code something?

Your first three widgets are your 'contact widgets,' which are what get shown in the message windows. Those are also what get shown in the minibar.
Having more than three widgets shows up in other places, which aren't yet obvious in present builds. ;)

Hopefully you are reporting to bugzilla for those of you that it is not working with. It could be something in common with your systems, could be something server side that Scott or someone would need you to troubleshoot with. It is working for the majority form what I am seeing, so it would be prudent to report to bugziilla by adding your details to the open bug.

You need to use the BB Code version. For you it would be:
[ trillian_minibar={insert color here}]{insert astra user name here}[ /trillian_minibar]
Obviously you need to remove those curly brackets, and the space I had to put in the BB code to make it not work when actually put it in your sig.

Make sure you have Flash 9 by going here in Internet Explorer. http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ Your version will be displayed in the "Version Information" section. IF you need to upgrade do so from within IE.
Restart your computer even if you already have Flash 9. For some reason that seems to help.

Sorry... I still can't get my widgets to work. I followed all the suggestions in this thread.
My problem is, I think, is that my settings don't seem to stick after Astra is re-launched. For example, I have to set my Time Zone widget every time because it's set to nothing when I start Astra. Same thing with my Weather and my "feelings."
After I do everything, the widget never do show up. After I re-start Trillian, I have to set everything back up again.
I think I have a bigger issue, eh?
1) Reset all folder attributes to remove Read-Only flag. (I'll check back here later if it works).

Third, after my mood wouldn't update for a few hours yesterday, I removed that widget and installed the clock widget instead and it won't display.. it just continues to show my outdated mood instead.

The issue I've run into is that I changed both my Mood and Now Playing shortly after my second post in this thread. My Mood should be "Happy" and I should be listening to The Wall.
While the location for the Weather is pulled from My Trillian Astra, updates in conditions are probably taken from Weather.com. I'm also pretty sure my status didn't update over night while I was set to Away for nearly twelve hours. Finally, I have since added the Time widget (again, shortly after my second post in this thread... when things first started working) and doesn't display yet either.

I am not an Alpha tester unfortunately, but was curious about the Trillian Mini feature of the program, and after reading through the forums I didn't see an answer to the question, so I figured I would ask.
1) Will the Trillian Mini Sig be able to be added to like a MySpace page when it's finished? I think MySpace requires everything to be written in Flash right (Which if I am not mistaken is one of the requirements to run Astra).
2) Will someone viewing my Sig be able to click on it and send me a message right from there? I think that would be a really cool feature (Maybe with an option to disable if the user so desired). I guess it wouldn't really matter what protocol the message was sent in, so it could just make use of the Astra protocol. Maybe have the option code specific, so within the Flash Sig code a string could exist something like "IMAllowed=yes" or "IMAllowed=No", so that depending on where the user was placing the Sig they could change it per location. For example on a major forum, versus a private MySpace page or something. I can see this being particularly useful on MySpace, but that's me. :)
I hope noone minds my asking, but I was curious and am really excited about Astra. I can't wait to get a copy on my PC. :D

That Feature Is Already Available.
Something cool would be for Trillian Mini to be able to pop up an IM window (like in the video on the blog) so people could send quick messages via Mini.
MLyons10
15 Mar 2007, 07:27 PM
That would be REALLY cool. That's kind of what I was asking, only I kind of complicated it a bit... I think that would be a really nice feature. I think that it should be able to be disabled depending on where you were posting the Sig though (Like how I suggested in my post above). It would be a GREAT feature though.
@lostmybottlecap: Thank you for your answer, I only saw mention of Trillian Mini for Forums, so I didn't know if there was going to be a Flash version for sites like MySpace. That is too cool. I can't wait to show it off to my friends (When I am able to get Astra that is...). :)

I was just wondering if there were plans to allow people to click on a users Trillian Mini and send them a message / chat with them from there. I think this would be particularly great for MySpace and such. I do think that within the code that we would post, that there be a setting for "Allow IM = yes" or "Allow IM = No", so that if you do not want to receive IM's you can disable that. Also, I think that it would make sense for there to be a setting such as "Location = MySpace", etc., so that when you get a message Astra could tell you where it was coming from.
What does everyone think of this? Is this feature planned? I think this would be great.

Ok, so for a while I've been trying to get my trillian mini bar to show up correctly. I could get it to display the bar along with my icon, but my Astra name and all my contact status info wouldn't show up. It turns out, once you set all your contacts up (see previous posts), you have to LOGOFF. This means LOGOFF, not "exit", not restart computer. LOGOFF. CS really needs to write a quick tutorial for setting this up rather than letting all the alpha testers stumble through it. That way they won't have to waste their time reviewing bugzilla reports about it because no one knows quite how to set it up. My 2 cents, anyway.

There seems to be an element of patience and a desire for everyone to see if you're on line to have the various im buttons show. Personally, I didn't want it. Basically everything is in this thread as we all figured it out.
For the most part, patience is the important part.
Have been doing my part to try to help.
Added: 11:03 MDT, Weds nite. Widgets don't seem to be working. Must be making some changes with things.

Well, after some time all of my widgets are now working and saving properly. However, they are all skewed to the left on the mini-bar and cover over my Avatar and medium icons.
Any help? See my mini-bar below.
Thanks...

Thanks...It only holds 3, so when you have 4 picked, it tried to show them all and doesn't align properly. Pick 3 and drop the fourth.
That was my solution.

Thank you! (and I finally got all of them to work too, rats!) :-)Yep, happy to be of service.
A couple of builds ago, I did nave 4 picked and it showed the top 3 with no problem. My impression is they're really working things around to see what's going to happen. Just my take on it.
Oh, a lilttle gift I found on the net for you and Tom.

Hi,
A couple of the things I have found for checking out my sig: after having saved the sig, I can go back to user CP and click signature to see the sig I just set up. I can then easily make the changes I need to make there.
The other place is to click Quick Links on the forum tool bar at the top. The drop down has an option to see my profile. That is another way to check my signature, without having to do it in posts.
Now, that was not just for you Tom, but for others who might have an interest
Do you have widgets set up? An avatar in Astra? Your user name in Astra?

How long are people finding these take to start working?
I've set everything up as mentioned in the thread, and yet the signature still appears blank and there's no data at the /profile/ address mentioned for my username.
It's been about 18 hours so far.

I think that currently the minis are trying to update from the old server and that's why they are not updated ;)

You'll find a lot of suggestions here on what you can try and what may be the problem from time to time.
One for me has even been logging on to the Astra website (http://www.trillianastra.com/)(which somehow either forced an update or was pure coincidence). /edit BTW: Logging into the site is currently "unavailable due to maintenance" :( (sorry)
Suffice it to say, my own mini-toolbar is never exactly in sync. I'm sure their working on it. :)

I also tested the player to show what music is playing and it worked immediately. I was using the Windows Media Player.
No it didn't now in the Web Profile version (mini-trilli)
It did in my Astra communication window.
I am not using a desktop widget, personal pref.
I have the clock and weather in my contacts window right now. I like that.
Will see what I keep.

One really cool thing is that the music widget also works with Trilly Tunes (one of my most favorite plugins). (y)
Like you said, within Trillian (or the desktop) the widgets work great. Not so much the website stuff... yet ;)

I wonder if the next bit of work on the server will help to make it functional again.
I like the widgets. I think they are going to really be useful tools for people. Business people, seeing what time it is for others around the world/countries, weather, for traveling, the map thing. I just think it's going to really help to make Astra a desired product.
I can hardly wait to see what's next.

30 Jun 2007, 07:34 PM
Yes, those are really good ideas and application of the widgets. I use a small calendar in the upper right hand corner of my desktop. It is completely invisible until I hover my mouse in that location. It stays in sync with my MS Outlook and Palm, and provides reminders. I would love it if the widgets can also work along the same lines. (I'm not sure about having persistent things on my desktop).
Also, as Vista gets adopted more, it has it's own group of widgets to choose from. If Trillian widgets are easier to develop, that would give it the edge.
So I too can't wait to see what else is going to happen.
Exciting, isn't it!?!? :D

What dropdown selection should be used when adding the Widgets in the Astra Profile area? I see "Message Window", "Contact List", "Desktop", and "Web Profile". I know the web profile is not yet available, but since it had the word "Web" I figured it would not hurt adding them there, but even after waiting for my the Trillian Mini to update I still dont see the Widgets I added: Weather, Time, and Now Playing.
I did put Everyone for each, and in each settings page I added the info and made sure each field had Everyone as well.

05 Sep 2007, 12:03 AM
Web Profile is the one here, for the sig.
I know they're working on things tonite, so maybe that is disabled at the moment for them to work other parts of the server, or, it is just on over load at the moment and it will take more time to show up here.

A lot of that is planned for the Astra profile, so its possible the Mini might point to the Astra profile if it doesn't get all those features natively to itself.
