Title: Skype Forum Tags
Post by: mrtrlt on October 25, 2011, 11:49
Ya know how there's a youtube account name and xfire ect.

It would be nice to allow people to show their Skype name if they wish.
Obviously it doesn't have to be compulsory it would just add something that would allow people to chat more easily.

Hope this isn't too much trouble :)

Yeah, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be added. If you want privacy - just don't put it there. And you can also block stalkers on skype :))

Signature is good for that purpose.

But then we could put our xfire and youtube there as well. But we also have tags...  ::)

So are you suggesting a [Skype] BBCode? If so I could try and do that.

Like this:
Call MrBob123
(you need skype installed to use this)

I don't really want to put a Skype field there as newbies will enter it and possibly be flooded with calls, and for privacy reasons too (even though it's not mandatory, people will still enter it). I will add a [skype] BBcode however, if and when I finish modding the BBCode mod, which will allow a lot of existing custom BBCodes to be easier to use, and at the same time more customizable. But before I can make it on the new mod, I have to transfer all other BBCodes too...

At this moment, I have basic parameters working (so tags such as [skype onclick=call]Joshy[/skype] and [player goto=stats/clubs]Joshy[/player] will be possible), but PHP validation isn't working, but I might skip that. I'm quite happy with the extra parameters itself.
