Joomla Module and WordPress Plugin Available

The Live Help Server Software has been updated to version 3.85.  This minor update adds two plugins for the Joomla CMS and WordPress Blog software as well as jQuery support for the standard Live Help HTML code.  The plugins allow you to easily add the Live Help JavaScript and Online / Offline buttons to your web site without editing your Joomla or WordPress templates.  Just install the Joomla module or WordPress plugin and the HTML code will be automatically added.

The WordPress plugin allows you place the Live Help button on your blog web pages as a WordPress widget.  The plugin also supports a WordPress shortcode if you need to display a Live Help button within one of your blog posts.
