Hi @weaverryan!
any experience with integrating zopim/zendesk chat widget in a project using turbo? I have been trying different approached, but no luck so far :(
Hey @Strahil-R!
No, no personal experience - sorry. I assume the problem is related to re-initializing their "widget" after each Turbo navigation? Or is it something else? Assuming that this widget adds some new markup to the bottom of your page that you want to keep, you could, in theory (though I've never tried this), via JavaScript add a
data-turbo-permanentattribute to some element that surrounds this widget. Then, when you navigate, Turbo will "not touch" this element.Cheers!
Hey @weaverryan,
this is exactly the problem. I loads correctly on first page load, but fails on subsequent turbo visits. I will try out your proposal, thanks for that!
My hypotheses at the moment (after downloading the source code of the widget and trying to make sense of it) is that it does something on window.load event. And since this event is not fired on turbo visits the widget is not initialised properly.
Hey Strahil-R!
Let me know how it goes!
This is an excellent theory. Unfortunately, it's still quite common for external JavaScript to only work on "real page loads". That should improve... because this also wouldn't work well with SPA's.
Cheers!
I tried to come up with a solution on my own and the first one that came to my mind was to insert the widget script tag at the end at the body tag, this way it would be reloaded each time a new page is loaded,
do you consider this solution valid?
Thanks!
Hey @Maxime!
I would say... yes! Probably... maybe! :D
That is *likely* a valid solution. But here are a few things to think about:
A) Putting the script tag in body WILL cause the JavaScript inside of it to be re-executed on each visit. However, some external JavaScript still does not "expect" to be executed multiple times during the same true "page load". That is actually the case with the weather widget we add. Even if you put this in your body tag, without any other modifications, it is written in such a way that it only *truly* activates the weather widget one time per *true* page load... no matter how many times you execute that script.
B) There is a (probably) minor performance penalty for putting scripts in the body tag, which is why we are - in general - trying to avoid it. By putting the script in your head... and then doing something fancy to "reactivate" that widget on each visit, you are making it so that the original script only needs to be parsed once. If you put it in the body, it will be parsed and re-executed on ever visit. But for one or a few external JavaScript files, the performance penalty is probably not a big deal, but it's a nice thing to keep in mind.
Cheers!
