Situation

Skype Web Plugin Get personalized Jyve Web Tools to integrate advanced Skype functions to your blog, website, or online community group. One feature allows you to show your current Skype status WITH an HTML link to allow the user to click to dial. See an example. Problem is you need to spit out some HTML to do this.

<skype> Tag

Users can just insert a tag like <skype>YourSkypeUserNameHere</skype> into any wiki page and will show a Skype status icon WITH a link for the user to click to dial.

My First Extension!!

<?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 = '<a href="CALLTO://' . $input . '"><img src="http://www.skypepresence.com/callbutton/' . $input . '.gif" border="0"></a>';
     return $output;
 }
?>
