i wonder its possible to support more than one skype id?

I want to make a blog where several authors post their texts and where
they can be contacted via skype. it would be great if one could define
one custom field with the 'skype id' and use it on the code.

hi,

i am thinking about adding a new skype field to the user profile page
for better integration with wordpress themes but i have not got the
time at the moment to develop this.

for now, there are two ways to be able to use SOS with multiple ID's:

1. add several skype widgets to your sidebar under Design > Widgets
and set each one with his own Skype ID.

2. use the get_skype_status() function in your theme; in sidebar.php
for instance you can place several calls for a skype button by adding
something like:

[code]<?php if (function_exists(get_skype_status)) { get_skype_status
(skype_id=YOURSKYPEID&user_name=YOURNAME); } ?>[/code]
See the Quick Guide section on your Settings > Skype Status page for
more info.

hope that helps :)
