Upload the contents of **edd-helpscout.zip** to your plugins directory, which usually is `/wp-content/plugins/`. 1. Activate the **Help Scout integration for Easy Digital Downloads** plugin 1. Set the **HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY** constant in your `/wp-config.php` file. This should be a random string of 40 characters. _Example_ ` define( 'HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY', 'your-random-string' ); ` = Help Scout = 1. Go to the [Help Scout custom app interface](https://secure.helpscout.net/apps/custom/). 1. Enter the following settings. **App Name:** Easy Digital Downloads
**Content Type:** Dynamic Content
**Callback URL:** https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info _(I recommend using HTTPS)_
**Secret Key:** The value of your **HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY** constant. = Testing the plugin locally = You can set the plugin in some test mode. Set `HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA` to `true` and `HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL` to an email address in `wp-config.php` to let the plugin use dummy data. You can then call https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info directly and get a reply based on the value of `HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL`. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Help Scout just shows "Invalid Signature" = Make sure the "Secret Key" setting for your Help Scout application matches the value of your `HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY` constant. This key is used to authorize requests coming from HelpScout. == Screenshots == 1. Customer overview with Licenses area opened by default 2. Orders with status, links to the store and payment provider 3. Subscriptions with status and links to the store == Changelog == = 2.1 = - complete template refactoring, e.g., to show Customer, Licenses, Orders and Subscriptions separately, props @Spreeuw - refactor data collection, props @Spreeuw - support EDD 3.0 and newer add-on versions, props @ashleyfae, @Spreeuw - edd_helpscout_customer_licenses to filter license query response, props @Spreeuw - changed "HelpScout" to "Help Scout" where technically reasonable = 2.0 = The original developer Danny van Kooten stopped working on EDD Help Scout since he no longer uses it. The development of the plugin was taken over by Thomas Maier from https://wpadvancedads.com, who continues using the plugin. Danny left in the middle of developing a better version 2.0. I decided to build in top of that because the changes show a lot potential and fixed some issues. Please test carefully and let me know in case something is missing or not working as expected. **Additions** - callback URL changed from https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout/api to https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info, though both are working for now - added name of the customer and link to the profile page in EDD since Help Scout doesn‘t show it for everyone - set `HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA` and `HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL` constants in `wp-config.php` to let the plugin use dummy data **Improvements** - fetch all payments when user has multiple emails in Help Scout or in his EDD profile **Fixes** - Compatibility with latest EDD plugin versions. = 1.1.1 - January 28, 2016 = **Fixes** - Certain characters at start of URL were being stripped off in HelpScout. = 1.1 - September 6, 2015 = **Fixes** - The plugin is now listening at a later hook in the WP request lifecycle, which prevents issues with bbPress and EDD Wishlists. **Improvements** - Code refactoring for better separation of concerns and better overall code readability - Better naming consistency **Additions** - Support for lifetime licenses in Easy Digital Downloads - Various action hooks to output your own HTML = 1.0.3 - February 19, 2015 = **Fixes** - Added protocol for links to active sites - Querying payments by multiple emails was not working **Additions** - When using EDD Software Licensing, show if a license is expired. - Added `helpscout_edd_customer_emails` hook to filter customer emails = 1.0.2 = **Improvements** - The plugin used to "listen" to all requests to the site.
