Prerequisites

Before starting the installation:

• Magento Admin Panel access with design configuration permissions
• Active Pingstreams account with valid Project ID
• Basic understanding of Magento administration
• Store backup (recommended for safety)
• Magento version compatibility (supports Magento 2.x and 1.x)

Installation Guide

Step 1: Access Your Magento Admin Panel

Log in to your Magento Admin Panel using your administrator credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to the Design Configuration

Once logged in, navigate to the “Content” section and click on “Design” > “Configuration”.

Step 3: Select the Appropriate Store View

Find the appropriate store view that you want to configure and click “Edit” in the action column.

Note: For multi-store setups, you’ll need to configure each store view separately if you want different chat configurations.

Step 4: Configure HTML Head Section

1. Expand the “HTML Head” section
2. Locate the “Scripts and Style Sheets” field
3. Paste the Pingstreams widget code into this field
4. Click “Save Configuration”

Example Pingstreams Widget Code for Magento:

<script type="application/javascript">
window.pingstreamsSettings = {
  projectid: "your-project-id-here",
  
  // Magento-specific settings
  platform: "magento",
  ecommerce: true,
  
  // Enhanced e-commerce features
  productSupport: true,
  orderTracking: true,
  inventoryInquiries: true,
  shippingSupport: true
};

(function(d, s, id) {
  var w = window;
  var d = document;
  var i = function() { i.c(arguments); };
  i.q = [];
  i.c = function(args) { i.q.push(args); };
  w.Pingstreams = i;
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s);
  js.id = id;
  js.async = true;
  js.src = "https://widget.pingstreams.com/v6/launch.js";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'pingstreams-jssdk'));
</script>

Important: Replace "your-project-id-here" with your actual Project ID from your Pingstreams dashboard. You can find this code anytime in Settings > Widget > Installation section.

Step 5: Clear Cache and Verify Installation

1. Go to System > Cache Management
2. Select ALL checkboxes
3. Press the Refresh/Submit button
4. Save the configuration settings
5. Visit your Magento site to verify the widget appears

Cache Optimization

For stores with full page cache enabled:

<?php
// Add to a custom block or helper
class Your_Widget_Block extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
    protected function _toHtml()
    {
        // Skip widget on cached pages for guests, load via AJAX
        if (!Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn() 
            && Mage::app()->useCache('full_page')) {
            
            return '<script>
                // AJAX load widget for cached pages
                if (typeof window.loadPingstreamsAsync === "undefined") {
                    window.loadPingstreamsAsync = function() {
                        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
                        xhr.open("GET", "' . $this->getUrl('pingstreams/widget/load') . '");
                        xhr.onload = function() {
                            if (xhr.status === 200) {
                                var script = document.createElement("script");
                                script.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
                                document.head.appendChild(script);
                            }
                        };
                        xhr.send();
                    };
                    
                    // Load after interaction
                    document.addEventListener("scroll", window.loadPingstreamsAsync, {once: true});
                    setTimeout(window.loadPingstreamsAsync, 5000);
                }
            </script>';
        }
        
        // Regular loading for logged-in users or non-cached pages
        return parent::_toHtml();
    }
}
?>

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Widget Not Loading in Admin Configuration

Possible Causes:

• Incorrect HTML Head section usage
• JavaScript conflicts with admin scripts
• Caching issues preventing updates

Solutions:

1. Verify correct section - Use “Scripts and Style Sheets” field
2. Clear all caches after configuration changes
3. Check for admin JavaScript conflicts

Multi-Store Configuration Issues

Common Problems:

• Same widget appearing on all stores
• Currency/language not updating in widget
• Store context not passed correctly

Solutions:

<?php
// Store-specific configuration validation
$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
echo "<!-- Debug: Store ID = $storeId -->";

$websiteId = Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId(); 
echo "<!-- Debug: Website ID = $websiteId -->";

$storeCode = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();
echo "<!-- Debug: Store Code = $storeCode -->";
?>

Performance Issues with Large Catalogs

Optimization Strategies:

1. Limit data context to essential information only
2. Use lazy loading for non-critical pages
3. Implement caching for widget configuration
4. Optimize database queries for customer/order data

<script type="application/javascript">
// Optimized configuration for large catalogs
window.pingstreamsSettings = {
  projectid: "your-project-id-here",
  platform: "magento",
  
  // Minimal initial load
  lazyLoad: true,
  loadOnDemand: [
    "productRecommendations",
    "orderHistory", 
    "wishlistData"
  ],
  
  // Essential context only
  <?php if (Mage::registry('current_product')): ?>
  product: {
    id: <?php echo Mage::registry('current_product')->getId(); ?>,
    name: "<?php echo addslashes(Mage::registry('current_product')->getName()); ?>",
    price: <?php echo Mage::registry('current_product')->getFinalPrice(); ?>
  },
  <?php endif; ?>
};

// Optimized loading code
</script>
