How do I get Skype for Business presence cards on a non-SharePoint wiki?

Question

My company uses SharePoint, Lync, the full Office 365 package. But on our SharePoint wikis, pretty much everything (i.e. scripting, Web Parts etc.) is disabled. However, we still have a non-SharePoint wiki installation, that supports HTML and JavaScript on its pages.

Is there an easy way to get a Skype/Lync/SharePoint Presence card (with photo and status indicator) displayed outside of SharePoint?

I would like to create a contact page for our team, and have names, photos and status indicators displayed.

I'm not an admin, however, so I can't configure or install any additional software, and I'll have to guess any URLs I need (e.g. to talk to a Skype server) if I can't look it up in the HTML source code of a served SharePoint web page...

Is there a way to do what I want to do?

You can use JavaScript to call the plugin.

    <script language:" javascript">
    var nameCtrI = null; 
    $(document) . ready (function () {
        try {
            if (window. ActiveXObject) {
               nameCtrI = new ActiveXObject("Name.NameCtrl");
            }
            else {
               nameCtrl=CreateNPapiOnWindowsPlugin("application/x-sharepoint-uc");
            }
        catch (ex) {}
    });

function CreateNPApiOnWindowsPlugin(b){
  var  c=null;
  try{
    c=document.getElementById(b);
    if(!Boolean(c) && Boolean(navigator.mimeTypes) && navigator.mimTypes[b] && navigater.mimeTypes[b].enablePlugin){
      var a = document.createElement("object");
      a.id = b;
      a.type=b;
      a.width = "0";
      a.height = "0";
      a.style.setProperty("visibility","hidden","");
      document.body.appendChild(a);
      c = document.getElementById(b);
}
  }catch(d){
    c=null;
  }
}


    </script>

You can use HTML to build out your contact card and use the above for presence info. View the original reference by Jonathan Vanderoost here: http://jonathanvanderoost.com/2013/12/09/integrate-lync-2013-presence-in-a-sharepoint-apps/
