Skype profile connection error

I am trying to create a link from my site to my skype profile. I saw this post from Alex Turpin Created a link to the Skype profile app . This works great. When the skype link is clicked, it goes directly to my skype profile.

However, clicking the skype ( <a href="skype:profile_name?userinfo">Link to my profile</a>

) link while the user is not logged in in skype mode will not work (Skype client crash).

So I removed 'userinfo' from this link ( <a href="skype:profile_name?">

) and tried again, Skype didn't fail, it asked me to login, but after that it made a skype call instead of viewing the profile.

How can I solve this? How to view skype profile successfully until user logs into skype.

Thank.

I'm afraid this is a Skype issue, this happens in all versions of Skype. I informed them about it.

We can currently try a workaround (as Marin suggested in the answer below).



The following steps still work even if the user is not logged in in skype mode, try using one of them until you get the correct solution for this problem.

  • <a href="skype:profile_name?call">Text</a>

    to call
  • <a href="skype:profile_name?chat">Text</a>

    in chat
  • <a href="skype:profile_name?voicemail">Text</a>

    leave voicemail
  • <a href="skype:profile_name?sendfile">Text</a>

    to send the file
  • <a href="skype:profile_name?add">Text</a>

    to add to contacts

This question is pretty intriguing.

The problem could be the version of Skype or Skype in general (or Windows?). I tested it with my current version 7.3.0.101 on Windows 8.1 and it works as you said. You can report this to Skype support, but until this is fixed (or you find any solution), I suggest you try a workaround, for example
<a href="skype:profile_name?chat">Link to my profile</a>


Or you can try any action you like, but I think that chat

will be fine now.
