Note: The value of SKYPE_ACCOUNT_PROPERTY function options that are RW
(Read/Write) can also be defined using the setvar parameter in the chan_skype.conf
file.

setvar = SKYPE_ACCOUNT_PROPERTY(<account>,fullname)="MY full name"
Hello Carlos,
Part of the problem is that SKYPE_ACCOUNT_PROPERTY() is a dialplan function and not a variable, so it has no use inside of chan_skype.conf (it would be used in extensions.conf instead). You would need to just refer to the variable name under the specific user in chan_skype.conf.
The other reason this is not working is because the 'setvar' parameter is actually no longer used for this. The Skype For Asterisk manual is going to be updated to reflect this in the future.
So instead of this:
[skype-account]
setvar=fullname=<person's name>
setvar=city=<city name>
you would put this:
[skype-account]
fullname=<person's name>
city=<city name>
Then when that user is logged in, it should send the new information out to the Skype network. Just bear in mind that there's often some lag before account properties get updated, due to it all being P2P based.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems getting this to work. Thanks.
Regards,
Tyler S
