Install on any site quickly and easily
Built in light weight Javascript, our software can be installed on just about any website.
1. Install where users are logged in
Our software is designed to track logged-in users, therefore the Javascript should only be placed in 'logged in' areas of your site. We recommend placing our code in the header or footer of your site, and only called when the DOM is fully loaded.
2. You will need the user's name and email
The user's name and email must be passed to our software for tracking. Additionally, we recommend passing a HMAC-SHA256 of their email, hashed with your App Secret, to verify their authenticity. (See example below)
Example in PHP / WordPress
Below is an example of an implementation on WordPress, written in PHP. A similar approach can be used in Laravel, or any software of your choice. Please note the App ID, name and email are mandatory fields, and HMAC-SHA256 is highly recommended.
/**
* Add this code to functions.php
* Note: This code is for example purposes only, you may need to modify it to work with your site.
*/
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_protect_my_courses_footer_code');
function add_protect_my_courses_footer_code() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
?>
<script>
window.dsSettings = {
appId: 'REPLACE WITH YOUR APP ID',
name: '<?php echo "{$user->first_name} {$user->last_name}"; ?>',
email: '<?php echo $user->user_email; ?>',
hmac: '<?php echo hash_hmac("sha256", $user->user_email, "REPLACE WITH YOUR SECRET"); ?>'
};
!function(){var t=window,e=document,a=function(){var t=e.createElement("script");t.type="text/javascript",t.async=!0,t.src="https://www.protectmycourses.com/js/ds.js";var a=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(t,a)};"complete"===document.readyState?a():t.attachEvent?t.attachEvent("onload",a):t.addEventListener("load",a,!1)}();
</script>
<?php
}
