Skype Status in a Module

    • Hi there. I've spent a few hours trying to puzzle this one out -I'm fairly sure it'll be possible, but would appreciate some guidance. What I'm trying to achieve is, create a module that displays my current Skype status that I can then place on my template (mixxmag). The basic functionality is very easy to achieve with Skype buttons code, but I would like it sitting on a bit of a background.

      So, what I hope to achieve is this:
      This image is hidden for guests.
      Please log in or register to see it.

      with the status indicated changing as my Skype status changes.

      To achieve that, I have several elements. 1st of course is the background:
      This image is hidden for guests.
      Please log in or register to see it.
      .
      Then to add the skype status, there are a couple of ways I could potentially go:

      First, create a custom button in Skype:
      <!--
      Skype 'My status' button
      http://www.skype.com/go/skypebuttons
      -->
      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/js/skypeCheck.js"></script>
      <a href="skype:skypename?call"><img src="http://mystatus.skype.com/smallclassic/skypename" style="border: none;" width="114" height="20" alt="My status" /></a>

      or more simply:
      http://mystatus.skype.com/smallclassic/skypename

      Either one of those code-blocks will display the icon I have selected as most appropriate to my needs and update the status.

      But I don't seem to be able to make it work!!!

      Would appreciate any thoughts!
