When you open the Users Profilepage, the module calls theme('onlinestatus_profile',$user).

If you are satisfied with the standard output of my module, use this code.

If not look at the theme_onlinestatus_profile function:

function theme_onlinestatus_profile($user) {
  $items = array();
  drupal_set_html_head('<style type="text/css">@import url('.drupal_get_path('module','onlinestatus').'/style.css);</style>');
  foreach (onlinestatus_get_messengers(true) as $messenger => $title) {
    if (empty ($user->$messenger)) {
      continue;
    }
    $status = onlinestatus_messenger('status', $messenger, $user);
    $image = theme('onlinestatus_indicator', $user, $messenger);
    $url = onlinestatus_messenger('url', $messenger, $user);
    $items[] = array(
      'value' => sprintf('%s  <a href="%s">%s (%s)</a>', $image, $url, $user->$messenger, $status),
    );
  }
  return array(t('Online Status') => $items);
}

onlinestatus_get_messengers(true) returns an associative array with all active Messangers.
$user->$messenger could be $user->icq for example and contains the users ICQ UID.
Possible Values are: aim, icq, gtalk, jabber, msn, skype, yahoo, xfire

onlinestatus_messenger('status', $messenger, $user) returns 'online','offline', or 'unknown'
theme('onlinestatus_indicator', $user, $messenger) return an image (red flower for offline ICQ users for example)
onlinestatus_messenger('url', $messenger, $user) creates an URL that launches up your Messenger so you can talk to the user.

I had not tried to use this module in an custom profile page yet, i will tried this out soon and add a documentation Page for it.

I don't know how to call drupal functions yet. I tried a few things, they all didn't work. These are what I tried:

<?php print t('onlinestatus_profile',$user); ?>

<?php print theme('onlinestatus_profile',$user); ?>

<?php
function theme_onlinestatus_profile($user) {
  $items = array();
  drupal_set_html_head('<style type="text/css">@import url('.drupal_get_path('module','onlinestatus').'/style.css);</style>');
  foreach (onlinestatus_get_messengers(true) as $messenger => $title) {
    if (empty ($user->$messenger)) {
      continue;
    }
    $status = onlinestatus_messenger('status', $messenger, $user);
    $image = theme('onlinestatus_indicator', $user, $messenger);
    $url = onlinestatus_messenger('url', $messenger, $user);
    $items[] = array(
      'value' => sprintf('%s  <a href="%s">%s (%s)</a>', $image, $url, $user->$messenger, $status),
    );
  }
  return array(t('Online Status') => $items);
}
?>

The standard display is fine, I just need to get it to display on a custom profile node.
Thanks

I'm currently working on a complete documentation, in the meanwhile some snipplets:
Show the Users AIM Account:
<div class="fields">AIM: <?php print $user->aim ?></div>

Show the Users AIM Onlinstatus Indicator:
<?php print theme('onlinestatus_indicator', $user, 'aim') ?>

The same Output as the original theme(onlinestatus_profile):

<?php
  foreach (onlinestatus_get_messengers(true) as $messenger => $title) {
    if (empty ($user->$messenger)) {
      continue;
    }
    $status = onlinestatus_messenger('status', $messenger,$user);
    $image = theme('onlinestatus_indicator', $user, $messenger);
    $url = onlinestatus_messenger('url', $messenger, $user);
    echo sprintf('<div>%s <a href="%s">%s (%s)</a></div>', $image, $url, $user->$messenger, $status);
  }
?>

This is the code I used, although it seems a bit hackish and unnecessary.

<?php
$onlinestatus = theme_onlinestatus_profile($user);
$services = $onlinestatus['Online Status'];
  foreach ($services as $service) {
    print $service['value'];
  }
?>
