Show email on customer layout

[Torsten Högel]

Hey there,

I wanted to embed Intercom into the customer layout.

I used the code:

<?php echo ($fullName = Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->getFullName()) ? CHtml::encode($fullName) : Yii::t('app', 'Welcome');?>

for inputting the name into the variable, but I can't seem to get the email shown in a similar way... do I have to create a ruction, or is there an easier way?

P.S.: I've searched in the profile layout because the email of the customer is shown there, but with no luck...

@Torsten Högel - The email should be available at:

Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->email;

Did you try it like this?
Maybe share the code?

That worked perfect! Thank you. The code I use is: (If anybody want to use it change YOURAPPID to the app id of your intercom project.)

<script>
window.intercomSettings = {
app_id: "YOURAPPID",
name: "<?php echo Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->getFullName();?>", // Full name
email: "<?php echo Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->email;?>" // Email address
};
</script>
<script>(function(){var w=window;var ic=w.Intercom;if(typeof ic==="function"){ic('reattach_activator');ic('update',w.intercomSettings);}else{var d=document;var i=function(){i.c(arguments);};i.q=[];i.c=function(args){i.q.push(args);};w.Intercom=i;var l=function(){var s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async=true;s.src='https://widget.intercom.io/widget/YOURAPPID';var x=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];x.parentNode.insertBefore(s,x);};if(w.attachEvent){w.attachEvent('onload',l);}else{w.addEventListener('load',l,false);}}})();</script>

@Torsten Högel - i hope you used a hook to add that and you haven't added it into the core files, right ?

 

[Torsten Högel]

I think I did

Ok, so don't do that.
Create a file called init-custom.php in the /apps/ folder and put this into it:

<?php

Yii::app()->hooks->addAction('layout_footer_html', function(){
    if (!Yii::app()->apps->isAppName('customer') || !Yii::app()->customer->getModel()) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
    <script>
    window.intercomSettings = {
    app_id: "YOURAPPID",
    name: "<?php echo Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->getFullName();?>", // Full name
    email: "<?php echo Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->email;?>" // Email address
    };
    </script>
    <script>(function(){var w=window;var ic=w.Intercom;if(typeof ic==="function"){ic('reattach_activator');ic('update',w.intercomSettings);}else{var d=document;var i=function(){i.c(arguments);};i.q=[];i.c=function(args){i.q.push(args);};w.Intercom=i;var l=function(){var s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async=true;s.src='https://widget.intercom.io/widget/YOURAPPID';var x=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];x.parentNode.insertBefore(s,x);};if(w.attachEvent){w.attachEvent('onload',l);}else{w.addEventListener('load',l,false);}}})();</script>
    <?php
});

This uses this action hook: https://hooks-docs.mailwizz.com/actions.php?keyword=layout_footer_html which means when you upgrade mailwizz, you'll keep your changes

Check out the hooks site for more info. But generally speaking, you never edit core files, but do changes using hooks.

Thank You really much for that

Short question,
is there a way to embed the customer_id, because I got the information that you need that for intercom ...

 

[twisted1919]

@Torsten Högel - of course.

Yii::app()->customer->getModel()->customer_id;
