Setup and usage
The PHP API supplies a collection of PHP functions that underpin the majority of Brainy Assistant 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. You're done! You can start using the functions of this documentation.
require("include/functions.php");
Get the absolute path of your Brainy Assistant installation from Settings > Miscellaneous > Get Path. You can also use the variable $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. Ex. require($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/supportboard/include/functions.php");
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.
