Hello Sir,
Since Skype Mod, I am installing and running for my forum which is developed/Coded by you; so it's better for me to ask you that how can I use this: "https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/skype_mod_2/"; Skype_mod_2 over HTTPS.
Actually, the code of skype mod contains a url, which used unsecure web connection; is there any way through which I can change this.
Please look at this code:
<find><![CDATA[<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_SUPER_TEMPLATE_PATH}/forum_fn.js"></script>]]></find>
<action type="after-add"><![CDATA[<script type="text/javascript" src="
.....
This link is unsecure.

Thanks

I didn't write the skype.js file and have no control over whether skype uses a secure connection or not. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn745878

Please take a look:
Replace http by https
Replace http by https
So, in my knowledge total 4-times http is replaced by https in skype_mod and its work for secure connection; if I am incorrect about total no. of replacements then please tell me as well add this with current running Skype_MOD.
Thanks

Please check the snapshot taken from Skype development; skype uses a secure connection and it is done by replacing http into https.
Since, you are the author of skype_mod; so you may know the places where this may need to change, as I can see in skype_mod zip file: install_mod.xml contains 2 links as well as: contrib>subsilver2 contains 2 Links i.e. total 4 links but I am using Prosilver so on that case how many replacments need to be changed with https.
Here is the Link to skype development: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... e.15).aspx

Thanks

The places to change it are wherever external skype links are added to the files.

Hello Sir,
I know this and I am explained this in my previous post but I am not sure about the places of replacement i.e. how many files may need to be changed since you're the author of this mod so you may know that in which files you can mention this link for PHPBB prosilver.
So, please tell me this.
Thanks

It's within the install.xml file. Open it in your browser, read it (specifically the parts about prosilver) and apply whatever you like.

Not sure why you think this is so difficult.

Hello Sir,
Actually, I am new with PHPBB and hence I make sure that yes this file needs to modify. So, I am just want to get right direction/confirmation and as a author, you may know everything.
Thanks Sir, I am going to edit install.xml file and make changes, there is no need to changes subsilver2; and I am just keep as it.
Thanks

And what does the error say? It says the column already exists so no need to run the db_update.php file again. Use some common sense please
