Get logged in user name and email address

[tigerstripemedia]

Hi there,

I am using a live chat app called Natterly. To set it up is simple all you need to do is add a bit of JS into the footer:
 

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.natterly.com/chatbox.js"></script>
<script>
  chatbox = new NatterlyChatbox("[My licence goes here]");
  chatbox.render();
</script>

 

Now this works fine in WHMCS but I want to go one step further. Usually to start a chat the user has to enter their name and email address into the chat box. Natterly allows you to specify this within the script like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.natterly.com/chatbox.js"></script>
<script>
  chatbox = new NatterlyChatbox("[My licence goes here]");
  chatbox.visitor.name = '<visitor name here>';
  chatbox.visitor.emailAddress = '<visitor email address here>';
  chatbox.render();
</script>

What I would like to do is grab the current logged in user's full name and email address and insert it into this script. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this? I have tried but couldn't get it working.

Thanks in advance,

Hayden

I would have thought you should be able to do this...

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.natterly.com/chatbox.js"></script>
<script>
  chatbox = new NatterlyChatbox("[My licence goes here]");
  chatbox.visitor.name = '{$clientsdetails.fullname}';
  chatbox.visitor.emailAddress = '{$clientsdetails.email}';
  chatbox.render();
</script>

if the client isn't logged in, then both values should be empty.

Thanks so much Brian! That's worked!
