'Need help' tooltip never shows up on new lhc install.

jeffez · 2020-10-14 22:37:20

Hi, i have a fresh new install of lhc and have been trying to get this "need help?" tool tip to show up. I have applied the settings as covered in the docs but all i see is the chat widget and never the tool tip.
I am needing to get it to always show up so have set the timeout and seconds after page load to 0, but have tried other amounts and it doesn't make a difference.
Is there anywhere else i can look to try and enable this?
Thanks

Hi,

Try incognito window. Once you start a chat need help widget is not shown again.

Thanks, I already tried that but it didn't work. Is it possible the tooltip won't show because i have already visited my test page before i added it? Wouldn't setting the timeout to 0 make it show every time?

Read documentation for possible scenarios. https://doc.livehelperchat.com/docs/need-help/

For more help try to come to discord and just write in private your website so I could see smile

Thanks, ok I have seen that page but i had another look anyway. I just need the tooltop to show all the time but setting the timeout to 0 in Online Tracking and Widget Theme had no effect. I thought 0 implies no timeout therefor it would always show up. Either way i have never seen the tooltip show up. What'd also be ideal is a different tooltop showing when chat is offline but i may have to modify to code for that. Sounds like this might be outside the scope of this forum. Thanks anyway for your help.

Just to clarify is this the wrong place to be asking about this tooltop issue? I ask because i need to know where is the best place to ask for this level of help, even if it costs money.

Just ping me on discord https://discord.gg/YsZXQVh nick remdex. As here impossible to help without real website and logins to back office.

The problem is setting the 'Need help tooltip timeout' to 0 like I did above doesn't make it show every time, it completely disables it.
To get the tooltip to always show i changed $needHelpTimeout > 0 to $needHelpTimeout >= 0 in this file:
lhc_web/modules/lhwidgetrestapi/settings.php#L244
