Skype plugin !?

by **dgemily** on Wed Nov 17, 2004 9:52 pm

Requests for the developers,
is it possible to build a plugin for skype ?
Here is the documentation: http://www.skype.com/community/devzone/
I'm not a developer at all, so if someone can do it , I will be very happy :lol:

This would be a killer plugin. I just got a BT headset and USB adapter and loving Skype.

I did this before. Wait, i'll open xlobby to see what i did

You need to use this line :

/callto:Louis Vansteenkiste (thats my skype name)

So i added a contacts page in my xlobby aznd i have name/adress/phone/skype phone

And in the line skype phone , i see the skype name.

When i hit the skype name, then the event starts :
Open executive c:/skype/skype.exe withe the line under it
/callto:skypename

What happens when you call? Is Skype window visible?

How do you answer the calls? :-)

Just browsed the link on skype SDKs etc, and there is one that really could be usefull. It is in VB.NET and allows almost everything :-)

Wonder whether it could be transfered to work under XScript ? :-)

Looks promising, even has an VBScript example which gets the contacts out of Skype...

Couldn't leave this one... :-)

So for the past couple of days I've been playing with this ActiveS SDK... Couldn't get it to work under VB.NET, no matter what I did... so I started with VB script :-)

Just a small something after 20 minutes of quick cut-and-paste :-)

This should import all your Skype contacts into XLobby database... Pay attention, as this script doesn't (yet) filter un-allowed characters, so if your buddy has a name with national chars (čšž...) it might not work :-)

I played with it a bit more and did category that refreshes every 60 seconds and retrieves skype users status, and when you select a contact, it calls it (skype is invisible, minimised)... I have yet to sort out what to do with 1) incoming calls 2) hang up call to make it only a bit useable... :-)

anyway, here's how it looks like:

nice work

Here are updated scripts:

http://xlobby.lanik.org/call_user.vbs
http://xlobby.lanik.org/get_users.vbs

First one calls user (assign it to contact list category event), second creates list of users (database)...

as I said, far from finished but kinda basics works :-)
