This at the moment is beyond my capabilities but i hope other people can help
 * Using Flash

Skype Privacy (or status: "I'm not telling")
I have tried both variants of the php script, but my button says "I'm not telling" regardless of what my actual Skype status is.

I have the latest version of Skype installed on the PC where my browser is running.

What are some possible causes of this problem? --Verdlanco\ordskifte 14:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Under tools->Options->Privacy there is a button called "Allow my status to be shown on the web". Enable it


 * That should fix the problem, get back to me if it doesn't

 * Worked instantly and like a charm! Thank you! [[Image:Emblem-cool.svg|25px]]

Use a lookup array:

$lookup = array( 'add' => true,  'chat' => true,  // ... ); if (isset($lookup[$style])) { // do stuff; }

if ( ! in_array( $action, array( 'add', 'chat', 'call') ) ){ } This may be smarter when you don't want to use a temporary variable
 * I've implemented this and also added support for small and medium icons (&version bump) Gible 00:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

How about other actions such as userinfo (view my profile), voicemail (leave me voicemail), and sendfile (send me a file)? Thomas Lerman 07:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * To do this, I changed the code mentioned above to:

if ( ! in_array( $action, array( 'add', 'chat', 'call', 'userinfo', 'voicemail', 'sendfile') ) ){
 * I hope this helps. Thomas Lerman 20:44, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Skype Extension
Oh this is all so esoteric, ur askin me my squeal version an evryfink. I am a dirty filthy end-user that is code-dumb. I am trying to enable the Skype Extension on this page Board elections/2009/Candidates/en & I would really appreciate some support cos i'm *confuzzled* & confounded. R there join the dots instructions for making this integrate with my Wikimedia signatures across Projects? I don't have an integrated Wikimedia a/c either. Mine are all single and fancy-free. ThanXta —B9 hummingbird hovering 12:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC) PS: I would love the join.the.dots cheatsheets so I may give them to the other candidates.
 * MediaWiki version: 1.16alpha-wmf (r53410)

Usage in Templates
It seems that this does NOT work in templates. I use where  is set. But is not filled with correct value but instead used as the string "". Any tips/hints? --Fez 07:36, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Icon list?
COOL extension! Thanks for coding it up, it works like a champ. Does anyone have a page that has all of the different Skype icons? I might have to roll my own to support other languages (skype.com wasn't too helpful strangely). Cheers Tsx11 02:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
