Skype extension

Skype Button

My first extension so sorry if there are errors. It will only get better with feedback

<?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

Future

Allow the "balloon" or "Classic" design to be used using <skype>Skype-Username|style</skype>
