Display skype status image on your website

Skype status class can display your skype status as skype image on your website and update it automatically using specified update interval. This class also provides option to use skype functions on displayed status image, like call, chat, add to contacts, show profile, send voicemail or file.

It is also possible to provide multiple usernames as array to create multi user actions like multi user chatroom, conference call, etc. But only first user will be used to check for skype status.

Note that you must enable "Allow my online status to be shown on the web" in your skype privacy settings, or your status will be shown as offline.

Package contains skype_status.js and skype_status.packed.js (packed javascript), and one example file - example.html (to demonstrate how to use this package).
