My 1st Userscript - Callto: Linkify (for Skype)

No more copying and pasting phone numbers to Skype. SkypeOut directly from your online contact list (say Gmail contacts) without any manual synchronization or addition to your Skype contact list.

Looks for phone numbers in pages and makes hyperlinks out of them. When clicking on the link, your Skype will ring and be dialing the number / link you clicked on. Works for all of these patterns:

800-555-1212, (800) 555-1212, (800)555-1212, 800-555-1212, 800-555-1212, 800 555 1212, 800.555.1212, 800/555/1212, 8005551212, +1 (number), + (international number)

Yes, when it works the above will become: 800-555-1212, (800) 555-1212, (800)555-1212, 800-555-1212, 800-555-1212, 800 555 1212, 800.555.1212, 800/555/1212, 8005551212...

Area code is needed and call to US and Canada by default. SkypeOut from US or Canada for free at least till the end of 2006. Skype to another country by changing defaultPrefix but it is not free.

Skype Web Toolbar (http://www.skype.com/download/skypewebtoolbar) has similar function but makes all websites load much slower. This script makes perceivable delays only when loading lengthy javascript pages, say Gmail all contacts list, but you can choose to disable it at that moment.

Nice script!! It works very well and it's very useful! Thanks for making it. Here are a few issues/suggestions ;

- There seems to be an empty space before the number in the links. Can that be removed? The links still works fine, but when a link is underlined, there is a space underlined before the number itself.

- Skype is able to dial number with letters. In skype, in the number box, we can enter 1-888-CALLME2 and skype will dial the number accordingly. Could you script also turn those phone numbers into link ?

- It's annoying that non phone numbers sequences of numbers are also converted. Of course, the script can't know whether it's a phone number or not, but could you add a filter based on whether or not there are spaces before and after the number? A good example is with IPS. The following IP would be converted: 74.98.154.104. "98154104" shows up as a link. If you add a filter that looks whether or not there is a space before the number, the number wouldn't be linkified ...

When i change the file type setting of the callto URL handler in windows explorer i can also use this script in combination with a softphone. But would is also be possible to modify the script so that behind the telephone number @domain.com is added? My softphone only works when this is added behind the number...

Hi Boris,

I have trouble with a page where the skype linkify script will not work, could you please contact me at: d.spaan@gmail.com ?

I am trying to get Linkify to work with gmail. The script works with firefox as it works with my other applications. It just doesn't seem to work with GMAIL. I was hoping to consolidate my contacts with gmail and use the callto: link with skype for making return calls.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

This script looks really great! The only problem is that it doesn't seem to work for phone numbers found on google maps, which is one of the places that its most important. Do you know why?

Anonymous said...

Interestingly, it works on "text view" but not on "map view"... Would be great for it to work in Map View. Thanks very much for your work on this script!

Unknown said...

Doesn't work in gmail or google maps which is exactly where it would be most useful. Any updates on the way?

Thanks.

The author of borisyim.blogspot.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: The fact that things ever go right is so that things may go more spectacularly wrong later. Thanks for the info.

good day friends. I'm really into shoes and I was digging as far as something that exact brand. The prices as regards the sneakers are about 230 dollars on every page. But definitively I bring about this site selling them as a remedy for half price. I exceptionally love those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy these. what is your opinion?

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.deutafilm.ru]buy generic viagra online in canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
