API - information for webmasters

If you want to control Lime Talk outside its user interface, you can use our API.

After loading the widget, you can use the following commands:

Setting widget position

limetalk.api.setPosition('left'); 
limetalk.api.setPosition('right');

Chat widget control (expanding, minimizing, color changes)

limetalk.api.chatbox.show();
limetalk.api.chatbox.hide();
limetalk.api.chatbox.setColor('#000000');

Chat bubble control (expanding, minimizing, color changes)

limetalk.api.bubble.show();
limetalk.api.bubble.hide();
limetalk.api.bubble.setColor('#000000');

Setting visitor’s name and e-mail

limetalk.api.visitor.setDefaults('Name', 'name@email.domain');

If you wish to use any of the above mentioned commands before the widget is loaded (for instance when calling during event <body onload="">), you must wrap the above mentioned commands in function:

limetalk.ready(function() { });

Example:

limetalk.ready(function() { limetalk.api.setPosition('left'); });
