Integrating Olark's visitor API into IPS

[Stephen Geppi]

Hi there IPS community! I'm looking for what the variables are and how to echo them for the currently logged in user's display name and their email address so that I can send it to Olark. If anyone has done Olark's visitor API integration before your assistance is greatly appreciated. Really, all I need to know is what the variables are and how to echo username and email.

Thank you.

EDIT: I've found how to do it. Make a new custom block in your AdminCP, use PHP as your language, and enter this code:

require_once( './init.php' );
\IPS\Session\Front::i();
$member = \IPS\Member::loggedIn();
?>
<script>
  olark('api.visitor.updateFullName', {
    fullName: "<?php print htmlspecialchars($member->name, ENT_QUOTES); ?>"
  });
  olark('api.visitor.updateEmailAddress', {
    emailAddress: "<?php print htmlspecialchars($member->email, ENT_QUOTES); ?>"
  });
</script>

Hopefully this will be of assistance to anyone who needs it.
