Add Skype share button to Jetpack

paunikar opened this issue · 4 comments

Hello, I am following up on a twitter request by one of your users. We recently launched the Skype Share button. The configuration page is available here: https://www.skype.com/en/create-share-buttons/

We offer a JS button with SDK. We also offer a raw URL option. The URL is:
https://web.skype.com/share?url=<urlencoded_url_to_share>&lang=en-US&flow_id=&source=JetPack

Expected usage, with ideal window size:
function shareUsingSkypeRawLink() {
window.open('https://web.skype.com/share?url=<urlencoded_url_to_share>&lang=en-US&flow_id=&source=JetPack’, ‘_blank', 'toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, width=305, height=665');
return false;
}
<a href=‘javascript:void(0)' onclick="shareUsingSkypeRawLink()"> Share using link

Asset available here:
Skype logo file is available here: https://swx.cdn.skype.com/skypewebsdk/shareButton/v/latest/assets/images/s_logo.svg

We also have a WP plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/skype-share-button/

Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,

@jeherve any update on this? let me know if you need any additional information to move this forward.

@paunikar See #3171. The Pull Request was reviewed, and will be included in the next Jetpack release.

Thanks @jeherve Any approximate timing on that, so we can be ready at our end and monitoring metrics?

It should be released before the end of the month, after we go through a Beta testing phase, and if we find no bugs during testing.
