Setup and usage
The PHP API supplies a collection of PHP functions that underpin the majority of Support Board functionality. To start using the PHP API follow the steps below.
Usage
Include the file functions.php in your PHP file. The file is located in the include folder of the plugin folder. If you are using the PHP or WP versions, you're done! You can start using the functions of this documentation.
require("include/functions.php");
Get the absolute path of your Support Board installation from Settings > Miscellaneous > Get Path. You can also use the variable $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. E.g. require($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/supportboard/include/functions.php");.
SaaS version
If you are using the SaaS version you also have to add the code sb_cloud_load(); immediately after the require("include/functions.php"); code. To make the functions related to a single customer work follow one of the methods below.
- Login in Support Board with the customer account, after that run the PHP API functions from the same browser you are logged in.
- Use the function sb_cloud_load_by_url() and add the URL attribute ?cloud=TOKEN to the PHP file containing the API functions. Replace TOKEN with the token of the customer.
- Use the function sb_cloud_set_login(TOKEN). Replace TOKEN with the token of the customer.
Information
- Some functions are protected for security reasons, enter the code $GLOBALS['SB_FORCE_ADMIN'] = true before calling the function to execute it correctly. Enter the code $GLOBALS['SB_FORCE_ADMIN'] = false immedidately after the function call for security reasons.
- Some functions require the user details of the active user, use the code $GLOBALS['SB_LOGIN'] = ['id' => '', 'first_name' => '', 'last_name' => '', 'email' => '', 'user_type' => '', 'department' => '']; to set the active user.
