hi i bought you modul @ snowcovered. Now i have i a littel request for a possible new feature. Would it be possible to have the feature, to use an field from the user profile for the skypename. I´m looking for a solution to give the skype links more than one specific user. it would be great if the skypename could change for every user, when he log´s in and has entered a messenger ID in his/her Profile or something like this.

I'm not certain I understand what this would achieve though. For users who are not logged in and looking at that same module, what name would it show? To stub in a users own ID would mean that they would see their own status and be able to call / chat with themselves, so I'm not certain what this would useful? Maybe I am misunderstanding the request? Maybe you are wanting to have an instance of the module for each user on your site? Do users on your site have their own "pages" that are associated with them? You could put an instance of the module on each one of these pages and set their their username. I'm not certain I can think of a method of doing it automatically.

ok, maybe my description is not the best. No the users on the site do not have their own "pages" that are associated with them. what i am looking for, is the option to make a call/chat to other in a portalregistered users, who have entered their skypename in for example in their profile- I think there is the optinal field for messenger id or something like that in the DNN Userprofile, which could be used. Your modul gives the posibility that everyone can call me, what i mean is I or the other users can make a skype call (or chat with) to one of the other registrered portal users, just by clicking the link and maybe choosing the skypename/user from a list.

I see, so maybe have a dropdownlist added to the top of the module that allows you to dropdown a user for you to select to show the buttons for and this dropdown list is populated from the users in your portal who have the messenger id filled in...I will add this to the changelist for this module.

Can we use Call Butler feature of Skype? I am interested in creating a kind of poor man's call center service based on known customers (hispanic storekeepers) whom will check my web site (under development dnn) for products I sell them..but when they want to order, discuss or chat they can click on Skype..button etc and your module..and reach my operators long distance (we are in Costa Rica) who will be able to help them.. by the way I also am sniffing around for the ability (cheaply now!) to pull up or signal to my operator which page the caller is looking at and pull it up so they can discuss together while viewing the web page..
