Windows Live Web Toolbar – How to integrate into your site

A few months ago at Mix 09, the Windows Live Team launched a number of exciting new additions under the Windows Live Web Toolkit. One of which was the Windows Live Web Toolbar. This toolbar allows you include presence information into your site as well as other social experiences.

In this tutorial I will show you just how easy it is to incorporate the Web Toolbar into your own site.

First of all, you need to have access to the Windows Azure development portal. In order to use the Web Toolbar you need to register with Azure and receive an application ID and secret Key :-

MessyTwitAzure

When you sign into Azure, you will first be presented with a list of your projects. At the top left you will see a link for “New Project”. Click on this link. :-

MessyTwitAzureNew

On this screen you will be presented with four options relating to the different types of projects that you will be programming.  The one we are interested in is the one at the bottom “Live Services Existing APIs”.  Click on this to create a new Live Services application registration :-

You will be asked to give your project a name and a description as well as a valid domain from which it will run and also a return URL. The return URL is where Windows Live Services will return to your application after it has completed login (for the purposes of this application I just gave a return url of {domain}/default.aspx. Once you have entered this information click the “create” button to create your registration information :-

MessytwitAzureAuth

On the final screen in Azure you will be given your Application ID and your secret key (blanked out from the screenshot) as well as confirming your domain and the return url.

Now that you have registered your application you can fire up Visual Studio and create a new website.  There are a few things that you need to include in your site for everything to work correctly.  First off you need to have a Privacy.htm page and a Channel.htm page. These can be the exact same as you’ve used in the past if you followed my Web Messenger tutorial. For those that didn’t, here is the Privacy.htm file :-

<html >
   <head>
   <title>Privacy Policy</title>
   <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NONE"/>
   </head>
   <body>
   <!-- The privacy policy for your Web site goes here. -->
   <div>No information shall be retained on this site.</div>
   </body>
</html>

 

 

This page contains your sites privacy policy.  Here is the Channel.htm file :-

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 
<html >
<head>
<title>Channel</title>
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NONE"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onLoad()
{
    try
    {
        var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1);
        if (window.location.replace == null)
        {
            window.location.replace = window.location.assign;
        }
        window.location.replace("about:blank");
        var name = hash.split("/")[0];
        var win = null;
        if (name && (name != ".parent"))
        {
            win = window.parent.frames[name];
        }
        else
        {
            win = window.parent.parent;
        }
        if (win.Microsoft)
        {
            win.Microsoft.Live.Channels.Mux._recv_chunk(hash);
        }
    }
    catch (ex)
    {
        /* ignore */
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad();"></body>
</html>

 

 

This file enables the shuttling of authorization information between Microsoft’s domain and your own. There are another couple of files that we will get to soon. 

The next step is to open web.config file and add the following to your appSettings section :-

<appSettings>
    <add key="wll_appid" value="{Application ID}"/>
    <add key="wll_secret" value="{Secret Code}"></add>
    <add key="wll_consenturl" value="http://consent.messenger.services.live.com/"/>
</appSettings>

 

The first value is the Application ID that Azure returned to you on the final screen and the second is the secret key also returned to you on the final Azure screen.  The third should be entered as is. It gives the consent information for the end user, which we’ll get onto shortly.

Now onto your Default.aspx page. There is actually very little code required in order to get this to run :-

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:msgr="http://messenger.live.com/2009/ui-tags">
<head runat="server">
    <title>MessyTwit</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wlmessenger.net/api/3.0/loader.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        Microsoft.Live.Core.Loader.load(['Messenger.UI', 'Messenger.UI.Styles.Core'], null);
    </script>
</head>
<body>
        <msgr:app 
            privacy-url="Privacy.html" 
            channel-url="Channel.htm" 
            application-verifier-token="<%= appVerifier %>" 
            token-url="RefreshMessengerToken.aspx"></msgr:app>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
            <msgr:bar></msgr:bar>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

 

 

This is mainly just the standard aspx page that Visual Studio creates for you. To this you will add references to the new Windows Live 3.0 APIs and call the load method of Loader. This essentially brings down the relevant Javascript to the application and sets everything up for you.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wlmessenger.net/api/3.0/loader.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    Microsoft.Live.Core.Loader.load(['Messenger.UI', 'Messenger.UI.Styles.Core'], null);
</script>

 

 

It does this in an intelligent manner so that loading times are reduced as much as possible for the client. Also notice the html tag, we have added a link to an xml schema :-

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:msgr="http://messenger.live.com/2009/ui-tags">

 

 

This schema allows you to use <msgr:> tags within your html page and they will be understood. These msgr tags are the new Messenger UI controls that have shipped as part of the 3.0 API release.

Next we instantiate the messenger application through the <msgr:app> tag :-

<msgr:app 
    privacy-url="Privacy.html" 
    channel-url="Channel.htm" 
    application-verifier-token="<%= appVerifier %>" 
    token-url="RefreshMessengerToken.aspx"></msgr:app>

 

 

In this you supply the link to your privacy and channel pages (as detailed above), the application verifier token (this verifies that your application is valid – hence the registration against Azure to start this) and finally a link to a page that handles the Token that is passed back through Windows Live Services to your application.

Above is the RefreshMessengerToken.aspx page. This basically just handles the Token passed back to your application from Windows Live Services. Has the user given permission to be delegated on your site? Remove the cookie from the users machine when they sign-out etc. All fairly standard stuff.

Finally on your default.aspx page we have the magic tag :-

<msgr:bar></msgr:bar>

 

 

This is what actually adds the Messenger Web Bar to the bottom of your web site.  We’re very nearly done now.  The last thing we need to cover is the application verifier token. From the code in the Default.aspx page you can see that we used a server side variable, so here is the code-behind file for Default.aspx :-

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using WindowsLive;
 
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
    WindowsLiveLogin wll = new WindowsLiveLogin(true);
    public string appVerifier
    {
        get
        {
            return wll.GetAppVerifier();
        }
    }
}

 

 

Here we are creating a global variable that instantiates a WindowsLiveLogin object. Then the value of appVerifier is the returned value of GetAppVerifier method of the WindowsLiveLogin object. This basically reads your web.config file for the values we placed in there earlier and returns them. 

In Visual Studio, right click on your project and select “Add Asp.Net Folder” and add the App_Code folder to your project. Then place the following file called WindowsLiveLogin into that folder :-

/*
 * FILE:        WindowsLiveLogin.cs
 *

This is a fairly large file and it has been fully annoted for you.  And that’s it. When you navigate to your site you should see the Windows Live Web Bar sitting along the bottom of your page :-

MessyTwitWebBar

Clicking on the Sign-in link (“IM Here”) at the bottom of the page will pop-up the consent screen that we referenced in the msgr:app tag :-

MessyTwitConsent

Clicking on the “Sign In” button takes you to the standard Windows Live login screen :-

MessyTwitSignIn

Once you have signed into Windows Live you will be returned to another consent screen where the user gives their consent for certain information to be passed back to your application and that they understand your web sites privacy policy (this is passed through to this page again from the link we gave in the <msgr:app> tag) :-

MessyTwitConsent2

Once the user gives their consent, they are returned to your application (based on the Return Url you specified in the Azure registration site) and you will see at the bottom that web bar is trying to sign the user in :-

MessyTwitSigningIn

Once the sign-in has been successful the user will be presented with a fully functioning web bar :-

MessyTwitWebBar2

From here they can use Messenger to chat to their contacts from your website, sign-out, change their status and a whole host of other things.

MessyTwitSignOut

All of this from essentially four lines of code in your web page (and a few supporting files).

Stay tuned for more from the new Windows Live 3.0 API and new UI controls in future tutorials.

LiveSide is very interested in the Web Toolbar but we want to get the integration with Live ID auth right. We're working on it and it should be here shortly.

31 printed pages of source code and instructions, and you call that "easy?" The WL wonder bar is full of win and awesome, but it's not quite "plug and play." You'll need to be a pretty experienced webmaster and developer to get it up and running.

One thing i don't get is why not do this to Windows Live, so when to navigate from WL Hotmail to Home or Profile at least WL Web Messenger is still running and not signed out.. Rather than having WLW Messenger only on People/Hotmail

@BV2312: That's one thing I've been wondering too, instead of the one currently in Hotmail/People, this one would be so much better, accessible from all Windows Live properties, and will have a proper Contact List!! It also saves you from having the pop-up conversation windows too!

I am concerned about some of the features that windows live web messenger  is missing or not working. I have noticed that you can't send a message to someone offline like messenger. You also can not do the nudge thing even thou the icon is there. It is faded out. Also what Dan and BV2312 mention...the fact that it seems to only be tied to the people list and mailbox. If I check my calendar, go to my profile page, or any other page that is within the Windows Live Program I am logged off. I have to relog back on our keep one window open while clicking on another tab in Internet Explorer to venture into other parts of the Windows Live Programs without being logged off. I guess we will have to wait to next year for that to be solved.

@gregsedwards: While it may seem like a lot of work, a lot of this code is actually made available to you as complete files. You just upload them to your server and include them in your website and you're almost done. The author of this article did not write them. Given that, you can probably integrate the toolkit in about 30 minutes or less, even if you are not a seasoned developer :-)
