Nice idea! Putting this into 1.3 or probably 1.2.10 as a custom field app

You should also add facebook, msn, yahoo, twitter, g+, etc...you know the popular ones

Hello checksum,

Skype is a little more interesting because you could load the online / offline tool but I don't think the rest allows you to.

Most popular sites links like Facebook are easily done by by entering a url field. But in Skype case you need a html field that allows editing or code entry on the frontend. This cannot be done at this point of time with your standard html custom field . Jomsocial has a plugin called skypemaster from
http://www.techgasp.com/jomsocial/chat-messaging/jomsocial-skype-master-plugin that works perfectly.

Hi,

EDIT:

Just realised that this needs to be more than HTML field as Skype button is different for each individual.

That's correct but in the user edit you can insert the code via the backend but it will be the same for all users. If the html is editable from the frontend and linked to each specific user database field it will work correctly. This some function can be used for almost any other service that a user wishes it is also a way to introduce profile videos and so on.

Hi,

Yes noted. This is easily achievable on our part and will be added in the upcoming releases.

Great news.

Thanks Sam

Isn't there a security risk to be able to insert scripts or html in a form, that's why joomla disables it by default for the user.

Hi,

Depends on the script actually. Hence adding script is only available for admins.

This is a great feature request and once again its great the Stack Ideas team is acting upon requests

Thanks guys

Great! I just using it to interact and create a better sense of community at one ONG.

Thanks Satyro By the way, are you from the One ON-G team?

No, Mark!
I work with Marketing and Sales (Consulting), but I do a pro-bono work at an important brazilian religious organization (non-profit organization)

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up on this
