In one Blesta Click you will have "livehelperchat" (with allot of code modifications made by us), integrated on Blesta :)

How much editing of core files does it need to have done?

 

 

Hello,

 

Is almost removing unecessarie functions and modules, because there are many functions not nedded that Blesta can handle, like for exemple FAQ, Questionarie and some outher modules :)

 

Then we have made the SQL to be imported into Blesta Database on Activating the Plugin, and removing the databases, on uninstalling the plugin.

 

After that we add some javascript to handle Admin Chat to retrive the username of the admin to show the current Admin chating.

 

Finally we had a code to the menu to dispay the button with the badge showing how many live chats request are on.

 

That was the easy part, the more challenging part is to retive all admins and passwords autentications into livehelperchat, we are removing the classes and adding some new to autenticate with Blesta Admins insted :)

 

The rest is more grafical changes, that was easy.

 

The final part, that we are working is the auto login in livehelperchat from Blesta Admin, after that its done :)

 

Later we will add the retriving of the Support Manager Departmentes, to auto import to "Blesta Live Chat", for now you can add from admin.

 

Regards,

PV

I haven't installed it yet but curious, is there a way to get this to show on a regular website as well through JavaScript or is it just loadable on Blesta?

 

I don't have a dynamic website so doing something through PHP isn't viable for me.

 

 

Hello :)

 

Yes it does :)

 

In Blesta Admin, wen you click on "Live Chat" it will popup the Blesta Live Chat, then on Menu->Setings you will see an option called "Widget embed code", just click on it, and copy the javascript code to put in outer external pages even on static pages :)
