How do I add live chat to Joomla?

Last updated on December 26, 2022 @ 12:02 pm

Adding live chat to Joomla is a breeze. There are a few different ways to do it, but the easiest is to use a chat provider like LiveChatNow.

Once you have added the chat provider, you need to add a few lines of code to your website.

First, add the LiveChatNow provider to your website. This can be done by going to the LiveChatNow website and clicking on the “Add a New Provider” button.

Once you have added the provider, you will need to enter your login information. Next, you will need to add a few lines of code to your website.

To add the code, open your website in a text editor. You will need to find the following line of code:

<div id="live-chat-container">

Once you have found the line of code, you will need to add the following code after it:

<script src="/js/livechatnow.js"></script>

Finally, you will need to add the live chat code to your website. This can be done by finding the following line of code:

PRO TIP: Adding a live chat feature to your Joomla website may seem like a good idea, but it can actually be a security risk. Live chat features can allow anyone who accesses your website to contact you directly, without having to go through any security measures. This could lead to people being able to access your personal information, or even worse, gain control of your website. If you do decide to add a live chat feature to your Joomla website, be sure to use a secure service that requires authentication before allowing anyone to contact you.
<div class="live-chat">

You will need to add the following code after the “div class” line:

<script type="text/javascript">
LiveChatNow.init('YOUR_LIVE_CHAT_KEY', 'YOUR_LIVE_CHAT_SECRET');
</script>

Congratulations! You have now added live chat to your Joomla website.
