Template:Extension Hopefully a collection of Skype extensions. To start off with the Skype Button. Feel free to add, edit and talk

Skype Button

The Skype Button rendered inside MediaWiki using the simple syntax of

"<skype>user_name</skype>"

Skype Privacy: To enable your status to be shown online please select
Tools->Options->Privacy there is a button called "Allow my status to be shown on the web". Enable it

<?php
  $wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfskype";
 
 function wfSkype() {
     global $wgParser;
     $wgParser->setHook( "skype", "renderSkype" );
 }
 
 # The callback function for converting the input text to HTML output
 function renderSkype( $input, $argv ) {
     # $argv is an array containing any arguments passed to the extension like <example argument="foo" bar>..
     $output = '<!-- Skype "My status" button http://www.skype.com/go/skypebuttons -->';
     $output .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/js/skypeCheck.js"></script>';
     $output .= '<a href="skype:';
     $output .= $input ;
     $output .= '?call">';
     $output .= '<img src="http://mystatus.skype.com/bigclassic/';
     $output .= $input ;
     $output .= '" style="border: none;" width="182" height="44" alt="My status" /></a>';

     return $output;
 }
?>

Installation

1. Copy the code into a file (e.g. skype.php)
2. Save the file in the extensions directory of your mediawiki folder
3. Add the line include('extensions/skype.php'); to the end of your LocalSettings.php file

Now you can use the extension with <skype>Skype-Username</skype> in the wiki
