[TechnoDragon]

this is a little older version...http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=75896.0
this is newer (updated) http://forum.technodragon.net/index.php?topic=116.0 (manual install)

I can also let you know how to do the smae with Gmail too!

[Gary]

I do the Gmail Field one, I'll be looking into getting it working with RC2. I'm just REALLY busy. With the college work, and the assignments and the exams! Oy Glayvin.

[TechnoDragon]

I could show you what I have already (it works in RC2).  I was able to integrate it just like the existing email field and msn messenger.

[Gary]

Sure. PM or Email me.

Absolutely fabulous mod, thank you so much for making it happen! Works like a dream!

Are there existing Skype mods that work with RC2 ?

I have read through this entire thread an found no evidence of it.

I have tried installing every Skype mode I coul find using package manage, to no avail. While the packages show as successfully installed, the skype field never shows up in the profile field.

Using 1.1 rc2 with mkportal.

I have a complete tutorial on integrating it like you are asking:

http://forum.technodragon.net/index.php?topic=116.0

you can view it as a guest, but if you want to see it in action you'll have to sign up as a member.

If you would like to re-code the mod for the newer versions then please do, send me the link to download and i will attach it to this thread. Thanks.

[John Slater]

Okay i have recorded the mod, i will release some add-ons to this mod in the near future, one of which will be to display in the Member list and display an icon for Skype Chat.

whats about rc3 support?

[John Slater]

Can everyone please understand that this mod doesnt show the Icon if your theme has its own files for any of the files this mod edits. Please extract the code and add this your self, it may not support some themes. It now works in RC3

John Slater,

Your Skype looks excellent, just what we are looking for.
Could you or anyone else tell me if it works with 1.0.9?
I also understand that it will not install on a custom theme and the code needs to be extracted manually. This being the case please could someone provide an idiots guide as to how to do this manually.

[Gary]

It should install fine for 1.0.9

AwwLilMaggie,

Thanks, how about manual upload? Are there any instructions that are specific to this mod. I have used SMF for over a year and never found the need for any mods. I don't want to fall on the first attempt.

[Gary]

If your theme doesnt have its own Display.template.php and Profile.template.php then install in the package manager and it'll work automatically.

If it does have one (or both) of them then this will help.

Hi,

My theme does not have its own display.temp or profile.temp files, however if I try to apply the mod with package manager I get this error.

An Error Has Occurred!
2: mkdir(/var/www/html/forum/Packages/temp/skypemod/images/): No such file or directory
File: /var/www/html/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 413 

I uploaded the mod via the Mod Site.

Any ideas?
