Remove the Skype Option

[Rocol]

How do I, or can I, remove the Skype Option from the UserCP, as members are activating it, just to have the Icon showing, even though they do not have Skype.

Thanks

You can turn off those icons

AdminCP => vBulletin Options => vBulletin Options => General Settings => Show Instant Messaging Program Icons

Thanks .. but that will turn them all off, I only want to stop them using the Skype one really.

I do not believe it is currently posisble to enable/disable per IM

To remove it from the a user's profile page:

Open MEMBERINFO template and find this code, and delete it:

                    <if condition="$userinfo['skype']">
                    <tr>
                        <td>$vbphrase[skype]</td>
                        <td>$userinfo[skype]</td>
                    </tr>
                    </if>

also find and delete this code:

                    <if condition="$userinfo['showskype']">
                    <tr>
                        <td>$userinfo[skypeicon]</td>
                        <td><a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('skype', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 220); return false;">$userinfo[skype]</a></td>
                    </tr>
                    </if>

To delete the icon from the user's post ...

Open the postbit template and find, and delete, this code:

$post[skypeicon]

[Floris]

To remove it from the user control panel > user profile > instant msgs, so users cna't set it

Open the modifyoptions template and find this code:

                <tr>
                    <td>$vbphrase[skype_name]<br />
                        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_skype.gif" alt="" />
                        <input type="text" class="bginput" name="skype" value="$bbuserinfo[skype]" size="25" maxlength="32" dir="ltr" /></td>
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
                </tr>

and replace it with this code:

<input type="hidden" name="skype" value="$bbuserinfo[skype]" />
