8.3 Integrating Skype with Vibe

Novell Vibe enables you to integrate with Skype, so Vibe users can use Skype to contact other Vibe users directly from the Vibe interface.

Before users are able to make Skype phone calls from inside Vibe, you need to configure Vibe to support Skype. You do this by modifying the user profile form to include a Skype Name field.

  1. Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.

  2. Click the Administration icon Configure E-Mail page in the upper right corner of the page.

  3. Under System, click Form/View Designers.

    The Form and View Designers page is displayed.

  4. Expand Profile View, then click User.

  5. On the Form and View Designers User page, expand Profile Form Definition, then click Form.

  6. In the Form window on the right side of the page, click Add.

  7. In the Form window, in the Standard Form Elements section, click Skype Name.

  8. Click OK.

    Users are now able to specify a Skype name in their personal profiles.
