Skype

[k1nk0s]

I have downloaded Skype software (www.skype.com) but vbulletin doesn't support this. Being a little like AIM, I want a hack that when they click a "skype" button, it adds that user to their skype contact list. This hack should integrate just like all the other contact buttons and profile.

A mate of mine sorted this one out for VB2 just needed a small change for VB3, Upload the attached image to your image dir.

In your postbit find

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]

After it put

<!-- skype -->
<if condition="$post[field5]">
<A HREF="CALLTO://$post[field5]"><IMG SRC="/images/skype.gif" alt="Click Here to Skype $userinfo[username]" BORDER=0></A><br></if>
<!--- skype --->

You will also need to go to User Profile Fields/Add New User Profile Field and change the 5 in $post[field5] to the new number of your field

Hope that's what you are looking for

Beermonster, that doesn't work,mate.
Put the code in exactly as you stated but nothing gets displayed in vB3.0.3

Have you changed both

$post[field5]

To match your own field number?

Are you using postbits or postbit_legacy? if you are using postbit_legacy then you will need to add the code to that template

Also in the code remove the first / in <IMG SRC="/images/skype.gif" or it won't show the image

I added the code at postbi template.
So, must i add it to postbit_legacy?

Is this code correct?

<!-- skype -->
<if condition="$post[field6]"><div><A HREF="CALLTO://$post[field6]"><IMG SRC="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/skype.gif" alt="Skype $userinfo[username]" BORDER=0></A><br></div></if>
<!--- skype --->

Thanks in advance

I added to postbit_legacy and it worked like a charm!!
Thanks a lot

Wasn't really easy to follow your instructions since I never modified a template, but in the end I got it. Only problem I had that the User Profile Fields Manager doesn't show anything (version 3.0.6), but at least the Add User Profile Field did what it should.
As an addition, if one uses the service of Qzoxy/Jyve, you can directly display the online status as vbulletin does it for ICQ, MSN etc. In this case just change the image tag like this:

<IMG SRC="http://jyvepresence1.com/qzoxy/$post[field5].png?icon=small" alt="Click here to Skype $userinfo[username]" BORDER=0>

See here to know how to publish skype online status to use with the status icon.
