External website form

You can oput a submission form in an external website. wtih 2 steps :

1. Allow the remote host, in Support tickets > Options
2. Insert the javascript file into a page of your remote site
3. The form is hidden by default and can be opened by a button.

Some details about this feature :

the jascript URL looks like :
//your-wp-site.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=yast_form_js

So, just put this ligne into your HTML:

<script src="https://your-wp-site.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=yast_form_js"></script>

Je javascript auto add a button to open the form, but you can use your own just by adding the class “yast-dist-support-button” a any HTML element.
A click on an HTML element with class “yast-dist-support-button” will open the support form.

You can cutomize the by by adding parameters to the script URL:

• autoload: if set to “no”, do not append the form to the body, but wait a click of the user
• visibility: will force “private” or “public”
• user: used to identify the reporter. can be a username, login or email
• type: any ticket type defined in your WordPress
• title: any string

example:

<script src="https://your-wp-site.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=yast_form_js&autoload=no&visibility=private&type=bug&username=<?php $current_user['email']?>"></script>
