Note
This macro has been superceeded by the Confluence IM Presence Plugin.

Description

If you are a Confluence user, here is a trick to display SkypeMe buttons within Confluence pages. It is a simple macro that takes the Skype pseudo and set up a button around it. The result is an inline image which starts a Skype call when clicked (of course you need Skype installed on your machine).

Installation

A Confluence administrator will need to add the following as a user macro:

Name skypeme
Macro Has Body yes
Template 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/js/skypeCheck.js"></script>
<a href="skype:$body?call"><img src="http://mystatus.skype.com/smallclassic/$body" style="border: none;"  alt="My status" /></a>
The skype user will have to enable to "Show presence on web" preference in their skype client for you to get presence status as described here.

Usage

Use the macro as follows:

{skypeme}jonathannolen{skypeme}

results in:

My status jonathannolen

Thanks

Thanks to Laurent Etiemble for coming up with the original version of this macro.

    It would be excellent if this button could reflect the users online status as well. Would this be a possible or easy addition?
