Usersnap can be integrated easily to any type of web page. The Usersnap help page<\/a> offers an overview of how to integrate Usersnap<\/a> in your site using a simple JavaScript snippet. We offer various CMS plugins for WordPress<\/a>, Drupal<\/a> or Joomla<\/a> – but it doesn\u2019t end there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to customize your Usersnap integration – for example: show it only to logged-in users, or add additional backend information to the report – you need to include Usersnap manually in your template. Are you a PHP, Python or RoR dev? Then you\u2019re in luck, as we describe how to integrate Usersnap using those languages in this post! Speed up your development workflow!<\/p>\n\n\n

Try Usersnap in Your Development Workflow<\/h2>Try Usersnap Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Include Usersnap with PHP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Save your Usersnap snippet in a file called usersnap.inc.php<\/code> which includes your API-Key. You can even fetch this API key from a config file or environment variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function() {\n    var s = document.createElement('script');\n    s.type = 'text\/javascript';\n    s.async = true;\n    s.src = '\/\/api.usersnap.com\/load\/YOUR-APIKEY-HERE.js';\n    var x = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];\n    x.appendChild(s);\n})();\n<\/script><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
After that, include this snippet on every page you want to include Usersnap, for example in the footer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n@include(\"usersnap.inc.php\");\n?><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Like we mentioned above, you can add conditions here, and for example only show the Usersnap feedback button to logged-in users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Include Usersnap with Python \/ Mako Templates<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Usersnap<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Save your Usersnap snippet in a file usersnapinclude.mako<\/code>, which includes your API-Key:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function() {\n    var s = document.createElement('script');\n    s.type = 'text\/javascript';\n    s.async = true;\n    s.src = '\/\/api.usersnap.com\/load\/YOUR-APIKEY-HERE.js';\n    var x = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];\n    x.appendChild(s);\n})();\n<\/script><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can paste this snippet in any template you like by adding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<include file=\"usersnapinclude.mako\" \/><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
to your mako templates, at a position before the closing body-tag. You could additionally include some conditions here, and only show the feedback button to logged-in users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Include Usersnap with Ruby on Rails<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Usersnap<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Save your Usersnap snippet, including your API-Key, in a file called _usersnap.html.erb<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function() {\n    var s = document.createElement('script');\n    s.type = 'text\/javascript';\n    s.async = true;\n    s.src = '\/\/api.usersnap.com\/load\/YOUR-APIKEY-HERE.js';\n    var x = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];\n    x.appendChild(s);\n})();\n<\/script><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If you are using Heroku, you can even load the API key from an environmental variable by using<\/p>\n\n\n\n
s.src = '\/\/api.usersnap.com\/load\/<%= ENV[\"USERSNAP_APIKEY\"] %>.js';<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
inside _usersnap.html.erb<\/code>. On other systems, you can fetch the Usersnap API key from a config file (or just copy it into your template).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To include this snippet in your main template, add a partial import just before the closing body-tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<%= render :partial => \"usersnap\" %><\/pre>\n\n\n
Try Usersnap in Your Development Workflow<\/h2>Try Usersnap Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Include Usersnap with *<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The concept of template includes is covered in nearly every modern web language and framework. Missing yours? Feel free to ask in the comments – we will definitely find a way to include Usersnap to your template!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy developing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
