Question

I would like a link on my website that when somebody clicks on it, it either starts a chat with me on skype, or if I’m offline, it starts a chat with my friend and when he’s offline, it sends a pop-up saying “Sorry, nobody is availible.” The status has to be online, otherwise go to the next person.

I found this, which outputs a number that corresponds to the status. If the number is anything else then 2, go to the next person or if it was the last person, pop-up.

http://mystatus.skype.com/username.num

This is the code that has to be performed in order to start the chat:

“skype:username?chat”

Answer 1

I have written that for you.:

var user1 = "Your Username";
var user2 = "Friend's Username";
$.ajax({
  url: "http://mystatus.skype.com/" + user1 + ".num",
  cache: false
}).done(function( num ) {
  if(num == 2) {
    document.write('<a href="skype:"' + user1 + '"?chat"> Chat With User1 </a>');
  }else {

    $.ajax({
        url: "http://mystatus.skype.com/" + user2 + ".num",
        cache: false
    }).done(function( num2 ) {
        if(num2 == 2){
            document.write('<a href="skype:"' + user2 + '"?chat"> Chat With User2 </a>');
        } else {
            //Open Pop-up
            alert("Sorry, No one available to chat now. Try again later.");
        }
    });
  }
});

It is written with jQuery plugin and AJAX..
