Hi there,
I am writing a Delphi-plugin ("Skyper")for our ERP which shall allow triggering a Skype call / note or profile view directly from within the ERP. That means Skype will be installed on all clients and will be automatically started if called by one of the following skype commands that I call in my Plugin:
- skype:user1?call
- skype:user1?chat or
- skype:user1?userinfo commands
The advantage compared to a call through Skype directly is, that the skypename will be stored centraly on the server together with other customers personal data like email, telephone, fax etc. and would still be accessible to all users in the LAN even if they did not introduce them to their contactlist.
Now, the disadvantage is that the onlinestatus can not be seen in my little app.
In order to do that, I could theoretically add a button like described here:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/share/buttons/status.html ("How to show your Skype status on the web").
But that only works for contacts that allowed there "status to be shown on the web" - which would be almost none, as it is "no" by default. I understand that is function is meant for websites - not for clients, where Skype is installed and where this information could be retrieved through the Skype Client itself.
So my question is: Is there a similar skype-command like above (e.g. skype:user1?onlinestatus) that returns the current onlinestatus? If not, could this be a feature for future development?
Thanks for information,
Steffen
