I am trying to add a link or button to the webpage so that the user can call a number directly if the skype is installed. it seems the link is like
skyp:....?call....
but cannot find any sample or documents. thanks for your help.
This is the format for the link:
Click (make a call to echo123)
It will work provided the visitor have Skype installed.
You can find all the options and an alternative javascript to redirect the user to download skype is he/she does not have Skype installed.

Skype has a description of their URIs on their developer site:
http://dev.skype.com/skype-uri
How well these work is entirely up to your browser and OS.
Click
(make a call to any PHONE NUMBER)
Please note that the Country Code is required. Without it call option will not show. If your database has numbers without country code, you can add the country code as +1 in your script. Skype will then give you the option to change country code before calling so you can change to required country if need be.
Skype is a client program. You may have two options: Write an url handler that calls Skype and use that url. Somewhat like my-skype://.
There's a plugin (at least for IE) too. You would need to make sure, your numbers are recognizable (in the correct format).
This has change, now you have to create a javascript function to create a button in order to make a call from the browser.
You can have a function like this and send the number you want to call.
You will need the js url from skype for this to work. Please visit skype sdk documentation for this url, this can change.
function CreateSkypeButton(id, number) {
Skype.ui({
name: "call",
element: "call_",
participants: ["+1" + number],
imageSize: 24,
imageColor: "blue"
});
}
If Skype and its web toolbar is installed it automatically detects phone numbers in web pages and adds a menu to near the phone number. So I dont think you should do anything do enable it in your web page.

i have page in which i have image of watsapp icon. What i want is when i tap on that image it go to watsapp to specific number which will be our company number, so client can text us or send any image or file through watsapp
The easiest way would be through the custom URL scheme as described here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/iphone/23559013
Which basically tells you to open a URI like this: whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!. You can simply open it by calling to the Device.OpenUri method of Xamarin.Forms. This should work cross-platform for iOS and Android.
If you want to share a photo immediately this isn't possible as far as I know. It is possible to someone that is in your recent chats, by the sharing API, but to my knowledge you can't send it to a random number. At least not for iOS, it might be different for Android.
Is there any way to create automatically skype group url link with php or jQuery? (or other languages)
Like this
https://join.skype.com/xXxxXXxxxXXX
skype:skype.test.user.1;skype.test.user.2;skype.test.user.3?call
I think this link can help you.
I'm trying to add an 'Apply by LinkedIn' button to my website. I realise the plugin was deprecatad and am trying to use the JS SDK to create this. What I currently have in place (as documented here) will allow me to sign in to my account, however, the documentation doesn't go any further. How is the user to apply for a specific position, should this be referenced in the url somewhere?
Also, I've submitted the application to access the API but have heard nothing back after 9 days.
Any feedback appreciated,
Thanks :)
I've been checking out facebook connect stuff from the new actionscript 3 library from Adobe. I have been trying to figure out how to use the facebook connect button inside of a flex app.
In an html page you would us the fbml and it would automatically put the facebook connect button on your page and when the user clicks on it it pops up the face div and lets the user login. Well you can't use that in flex. So I could put it on the page containing the swf but, that's why I'm using flex and not html. I've seen it done by the guys at Universal Mind so I know it's possible. I just need a little direction.
I know the function to use in the facebook connect api to cause that login dialog to come up I just can't figure the correct combination.
Chcek out the Create your first Facebook application with Flex tutorial and in particular the section on Add Facebook login.
This should be applicable to Flex. This would be done using the ExternalInterface calls from within Flash.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
In Adobe facebook-actionscript-api there is a class LoginWindow which you can use.
When you need it this window will open like small flash popup window and it will display facebook login page and enable user to login. All needed events will be raised and you should be connected after that. I didn't tested it but from the code looks like what you need.
this developer created this js/flash bridge you are talking about using the ExternalInterface classes. you can download all source files as well. i found it very useful.
http://www.wellconsidered.be/blog/2009/01/04/facebook-connect-to-actionscript-3/
There is also a very clean and elegant solution/tutorial at:
http://www.stevenvh.be/blog/?p=57
Use this API:
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/
Look at ConnectDemo.
The sample kind of sucks... it forces you to connect before showing the Flex app.
You need to tweek the example to get it to do what you want.
Also, FB depreciated some of the methods, so you have to look up new methods that aren't depreciated.
I'd love to update the sample, but I don't have the time to dedicated to another project.
I have an ASP.Net application which as desired feature, users would like to be able to take a screenshot. While I know this can be simulated, it would be really great to have a way to take a URL (or the current rendered page), and turn it into an image which can be stored on the server.
Is this crazy? Is there a way to do it? If so, any references?
I can tell you right now that there is no way to do it from inside the browser, nor should there be. Imagine that your page embeds GMail in an iframe. You could then steal a screenshot of the person's GMail inbox!
This could be made safe by having the browser "black out" all iframes and embeds that would violate cross-domain restrictions.
You could certainly write an extension to do this, but be aware of the security considerations outlined above.
Update: You can use a canvas utility function to get a screenshot of a page on the same origin as your code. There's even a lib to allow you to do this: http://experiments.hertzen.com/jsfeedback/
You can find other possible answers here: Using HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript to take screenshots
Browsershots has an XML-RPC interface and available source code (in Python).
I used the free assembly UrlScreenshot.dll which you can download here.
Works nicely!
There is also WebSiteScreenShot but it's not free.
You could try a browser plugin like IE7 Pro for Internet Explorer which allows you to save a screenshot of the current site to a file on disk. I'm sure there is a comparable plugin for FireFox out there as well.
If you want to do something like you described. You need to call an external process that prints the IE output as described here.
Why don't you take another approach?
If you have the need that users can view the same content over again, then it sounds like that is a business requirement for your application, and so you should be building it into your application.
Structure the URL so that when the same user (assuming you have sessions and the application shows different things to different users) visits the same URL, they always see same thing. They can then bookmark the URL locally, or you can even have an application feature that saves it in a user profile.
Part of this would mean making "clean urls", eg, site.com/view/whatever-information-needed-here.
If you are doing time-based data, where it changes as it gets older, there are probably a couple possible approaches.
If your data is not changing on a regular basis, then you could make the "current" page always, eg, site.com/view/2008-10-20 (add hour/minute/second as appropriate).
If it is refreshing, and/or updating more regularly, have the "current" page as site.com/view .. but allow specifying the exact time afterwards. In this case, you'd have to have a "link to this page" type function, which would link to the permanent URL with the full date/time. Look to google maps for inspiration here-- if you scroll across a map, you can always click "link to here" and it will provide a link that includes the GPS coordinates, objects on the map, etc. In that case it's not a very friendly url but it does work quite well. :)
