LiveHelperChat / livehelperchat_laravel

This is Laravel version of Live Helper Chat. This wraps Live Helper Chat under Laravel framework. So you can write your own modules/extension using Laravel API. This way we can migrate Live Helper Chat over time to Laravel, without rewriting everything from scratch.

Live Helper Chat

Version of integration V2

• Sample URL's which are handled by Laravel, but are using LHC classes
  • https://example.com/site_admin/logged - this routes requires lhfront,default permissions. Modify it for production to avoid printing user details
  • https://example.com/anonymous - this route does not require any permission and does not set any cookie.
  • https://example.com/site_admin/login - this route shows how to redirect to LHC internal URL even if URL route is registered in Laravel.

Now you can use any LHC class within Laravel routes. Where this option was missing in first version.

• site_admin routes should be defined in routes/admin.php you will find also sample how to require permissions for specific URL.
• Cookieless routes should be defined in routes/anonymous.php route file.

Install instructions after cloning this repository. Here we just create a symlinks to original live helper chat files.

• V2 - Video tutorial - pending
• V1 - There is also a video tutorial how to setup it https://youtu.be/SeYA7Vpy4KU
  • The only different that root directly now follows Laravel practise and is located in public folder. Adjusted shell commands also

This allows two apps to work independently and have independent commit history.

For the most common Live Helper Chat classes read

• https://doc.livehelperchat.com/docs/development/orm to work with LHC database most common methods
• https://doc.livehelperchat.com/docs/development/common-classes the most commit LHC classes

git clone https://github.com/LiveHelperChat/livehelperchat_laravel.git
cd livehelperchat_laravel/public
git clone https://github.com/LiveHelperChat/livehelperchat.git
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/ezcomponents
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/lib
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/modules
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/pos
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/extension
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/design
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/translations
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/var
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/settings
ln -s livehelperchat/lhc_web/cache
chown apache:apache -R cache/
chown apache:apache -R var/
chown apache:apache settings/
chmod -R 755 cache/

Folder structure at the end should look like

Your have to setup virtual host on your server pointing to livehelperchat_laravel/public same as default laravel installation

You now might need to follow standard Laravel install procedure.

After install don't forget to edit .env file and put database logins.

Now in any extension or core file you should be able to use any Laravel class and vica versa.

About Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:

• Simple, fast routing engine.
• Powerful dependency injection container.
• Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
• Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
• Database agnostic schema migrations.
• Robust background job processing.
• Real-time event broadcasting.

Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
