- Let agent know the page or page identifier of location the request is coming from
- Visitor's language according to your site
- You can put the chat button in a members only page, then let the agent know that visitor is a member, VIP or paid for some services etc.
and many more. To do that you will need to add a script block to your page and define the live_admin_extra_fields variable. General syntax is:
live_admin_extra_fields = [{definition},{definition},...];
where {definition} is {'name':'field name','value':'field value'}
For instance if you put the chat button in a members only page and want the agent to know visitor is coming from that page use:
- Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
live_admin_extra_fields = [{'name':'Coming from','value':'Members Area'}];
</script>
The above example will show something like this in admin panel:
Coming from: Members Area
and if you want a second field to get passed (for instance username) use:
- Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
live_admin_extra_fields = [
{'name':'Coming from','value':'Members Area'},
{'name':'Username','value':'--VALUE-OF-USERNAME--'}];
</script>
If you page is in PHP, you can easily pass PHP based variables, for instance if caller has authenticated into a page and you have the username is a session variable you can use:
- Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
live_admin_extra_fields = [
{'name':'Coming from','value':'Members Area'},
{'name':'Username','value':'<?=$_SESSION['username'];?>'}];
</script>
If you have multiple buttons on the same page separated by 'tag' ( see this) then you can send different data to each button using tags, here is an example:
- Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
live_admin_extra_fields = [
{'name':'User Language','value':'English','tag':'liveadmin_1'},
{'name':'User Language','value':'Spanish','tag':'liveadmin_2'},
{'name':'Page','Home':'yes',}];
</script>
In above example, 'User Language: English' will be send to the chat button identified by 'liveadmin_1', 'User Language: Spanish' will be send to the chat button identified by 'liveadmin_2' and 'Page: Home' will be send to both of them.
This feature is available on LiveAdmin hosted version 1.3.4 and later and will be available on Standalone and Lite version 1.3.5.
