The TalkJS plugin allows you to add user-to-user chat to your marketplace, on-demand app, or social platform. You'll have it up and running in 5 minutes. It integrates fully with WooCommerce and marketplace\/multi-vendor plugins like WCVendors.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin offers you shortcodes and template tags for our three basic views: The inbox, the chatbox and the chat pop-up. It also adds a chatbox widget and an inbox-page.<\/p>\n\n
TalkJS is the messaging tool for platforms. Add buyer seller chat to your marketplace, on-demand app, or peer-to-peer chat to your social platform. Similar to what Airbnb, Upwork, or LinkedIn are offering in messaging.<\/p>\n\n
By providing direct contact between your users, you're saving on customer support time, increase user interaction and retention.<\/p>\n\n
With this plugin, you can add TalkJS to your Wordpress installation in just a few clicks and allow your users to chat with each other inside of your website or app right away!<\/p>\n\n
NOTE: This plugin is free, but you'll need a TalkJS subscription to be able to use it in a production environment. TalkJS offers unlimited testing and a 14 day free trial when you go live.<\/p>\n\n
If you're looking to integrate the TalkJS messaging platform to your WordPress site, this is the easiest way to do it.\nYou can use three methods of implementation:<\/p>\n\n
You can use shortcodes on a post-by-post basis. The following three shortcodes allows you to easily use any TalkJS UI:<\/p>\n\n
[talkjs_chat]<\/code><\/li>\n[talkjs_inbox]<\/code><\/li>\n[talkjs_popup]<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nYou can pass along the default conversation user for the chat and the popup. You do this by adding a user ID to the shortcode: [talkjs_chat user=\"2\"]<\/p>\n\n
If you wish to get the author of the post as your conversation user you can use the following: [talkjs_chat userType=\"author\"]. You shouldn't fill in the user ID in this case since it overwrites the userType<\/code>.<\/p>\n\nWith all three you can pass along a custom welcome message like this: [talkjs_chat welcomeMessage=\"Hi there!\"]<\/p>\n\n
For Inbox and Chatbox, you can also customize the width and height of the shortcodes by passing width<\/code> and height<\/code> properties like this: [talkjs_chat height=\"500px\" width=\"250px\"]<\/p>\n\nThere are some predefined styles to make integration easier, if you want full control over the style of the TalkJS UI container, you can pass style<\/code> property to overwrite the default styles. width<\/code> and height<\/code> properties are ignored when style<\/code> is used.<\/p>\n\nThe popup also has an option to keep it open between pages by using the shortcode with the keepOpen property e.g. [talkjs_popup keepOpen=\"true\"]<\/p>\n\n
Widgets<\/h3>\n\n
There's currently only one widget available: The TalkJS Chatbox widget. In it you can set a title, a welcome message and the conversation user (the current post author if blank)<\/p>\n\n
Template tags<\/h3>\n\n
You can use template tags if you want to display the chatbox, inbox or popup on certain templates. You use them in your code like so:<\/p>\n\n
<?php talkjs_chat();?>\n<?php talkjs_popup();?>\n<?php talkjs_inbox();?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nYou can pass along the same attributes as in the shortcode-version. You add them in an array, like this:\n \"Hi there, let\\'s chat!\",\n 'userType' => 'author'\n ]);\n ?><\/p>\n\n
Welcome Message customization<\/h3>\n\n
You can add custom variables to your welcome message. These variables are available:<\/p>\n\n
\n- {{first_name}} -> logged in users' first name.<\/li>\n
- {{last_name}} -> logged in users' last name.<\/li>\n
- {{name}} -> logged in users' full name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Available filters<\/h3>\n\n
We currently have one filter available for developers. Feel free to contact us if you need any other filters.<\/p>\n\n
talkjs_hidden_post_types_for_chat_popup<\/h3>\n\n
Hide your custom post-type as a viable chat option.<\/p>\n\n
<?php\nadd_filter( 'talkjs_hidden_post_types_for_chat_popup', function( $postTypes ){\n\n $postTypes[] = 'my-custom-post-type';\n return $postTypes;\n\n});\n?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\nFollow these simple steps to get started:<\/p>\n\n
