I cant download the plugin or rather I download only 3381 bytes and I am unable to decompress the file neither with WinZip nor with Tar for Windows.
Do I do sth wrong or there is an error?
I can’t get the skype php code to execute. I have runphp working and it executes other code. I’ve even put the php into the sidebar.php file and it doens’t execute. It is all working according to the options screen, no errors etc.
I try to install the plugin and everything goes file until i try to put the “” this into my sidebar.php and nothing comes out. Only this command appear on my blog …there ar eno buttons
I cannot get the Skype button to show up, I am using one of the new templates: Fastrack and addrd the php code to the sidebar and it still does not show up! only the php code, I also did the fix mentioned later on .
To Miki, with the tar for Windows problem. You might need another archiving software, like the Open Source 7-zip. Get it and uncompress the gz first, and then the tar. I’m intrigued by this plugin.
Hi, I left you a voice mail but here is what I wanted to ask you. Is it possible to put two different skype buttons? Eg. on my website, I want one for marketing and another for manufacturing so people can call whosoever they want to talk to.
>>there’s a small bug/typo in the transparent button: you need to change
skype:{skypeid}call … to … skype:{skypeid}?call in transparent_dropdown.html.
My skype username has a . in it. So when I enter my username first.last it only recognises first and counts the . as an ending…I can probably hardcode my username it but would prefer not to…
Dear Author, this plugin is really good, have been WATCHING this since version 1.0.
One question I want to ask, have you ever tried with a skyme login name which have a dot in it? for example : steve.jobs or michael.jordan
it seems the plugin does not recognise the display name with a dot in it
Thanks.
Is there anyway to edit the transparent_dropdown.html so that on onmouseover AND onmouseout it just dispays ‘Call’ instead of ‘Call Me!’ ?
I was able to download and edit the call.png in paintbrush to display just ‘Call’ but cannot figure out how to change it for onmouseover AND onmouseout.
That script is being included by the plugin - open the php file and search for “dropdown.js”. But I think you might be able to accomplish what you want by modifying the html file .. by adding some javascript to the mouseover/mouseout handlers.
I have it working well on my site. One problem is that while the button shows up with Safari ver. 2.0.3 it does not appear in my firefox browser version 1.5.0.1. My powerbook is running Mac OS X 10.4.5 I thought this might be a javascript security issue, but javascript is turned on. Any suggestions? Is this the same problem that is causing my “skype me” from the skype website to not show up. Again both work with safari, but not in firefox. Suggestions ?
HI, I love this button BUT.. .though it instaleld simply, I can’t get it to call up my skype software and actually open it…When I click on any of the options from teh dorp menu it just opens a little pop up window that tells me I have to download teh software and install it first. But I already have teh software installed! so confused.. what do I have to change here? I am not an expert at coding but I can hack my way through with some guidance….
thanks

For those of you fiddling around, and only getting the php code not the button in your blogpage….if you did’nt know take the space out of the copied code so that it looks like this:- instead of this….
It will definitely work then….
Thanks for the plugin…..

any1 here who can explain how to make the button visible on the page?
1. i just uploaded the files as described
2. i can see the menu in my admin area
3. i enter my skype-id and use the default settings for button
4. i click on “save”
5. after saving i return to the same page without any changes visible
6. if i got to the code section i find following:
// update the option if form is saved
if (isset($_POST["skype_button_update"])) {
if (skype_button_valid_id($_POST["skype_id"]) &&
skype_button_valid_theme($_POST["button_theme"])) {
7. that means i should see an update of my entries with post of my id?
8. i cant see the skype button on my page and thats the problem (ie and firefox)
Skype just released a small status button with transparent background - will you support this with an new relase? Actually all ‘my status’ butons provide a background that don’t fit to my website design.
Almost all WordPress users have a Skype account?

Hey guys,
Is there a way for visitors to my website (who don’t have Skype) to click on my website’s Skype button and be able to leave me a voicemail?
Any ideas are much appreciated.

i got the same problem, only the code appears on the side bar…
no button..
thanks for your help..
Hi,
there’s a small bug/typo in the transparent button: you need to change
skype:{skypeid}call … to … skype:{skypeid}?call
in transparent_dropdown.html.
PS. for all those who can only see code in their sidebar, get rid of the space between
I wish there was a little more info on how to actually install this..like where/how to put the code and stuff..
I activated the plug-in but when I go to Options->Skype Button, the screen is blank
I cannot get the Skype button to show up, I am using one of the new templates: Fastrack and addrd the php code to the sidebar and it still does not show up! only the php code, I also did the fix mentioned later on .

Todd: those mouseover texts are coming from the javascript included by the plugin. For transparent dropdown the script is at http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/buttons/white_dropdown/dropdown.js
That script is being included by the plugin - open the php file and search for “dropdown.js”. But I think you might be able to accomplish what you want by modifying the html file .. by adding some javascript to the mouseover/mouseout handlers.
Thanks so much for making this plugin.

Skype just released a small status button with transparent background - will you support this with an new relase? Actually all ‘my status’ butons provide a background that don’t fit to my website design.
There is a ‘-’ in my Skype name…
What should I do now?
Can you please make a drop down button which also shows status? Hope you can thanks
