FR: Live operator status change in client widget about livehelperchat

[alexeych]

API to get operator's status would be useful also to develop an own widget style (if '#lhc_status_container' code structure doesn't suite my needs).

I suggest to have a look at this file. https://github.com/remdex/livehelperchat/blob/master/lhc_web/design/defaulttheme/tpl/lhchat/getstatus.tpl.php it's template used for showing operator status.
Also take a look at:

You can override any part of chat you want.

Yep, I've overwritten template that renders widget to get style I need, but the main goal is to get operator's live status change in widget (without page reload). As soon, this isn't a current feature yet, I thought It's possible to implement it in JavaScript (on website page), for example, to poll periodically some 'magic' URL, that will return an answer whether there are online operators. The only URL I found is '/index.php/xml/lists/', but seems it doesn't return operators status.

Well, for that you will have to write your own module :) I have added enchancement tag for your issue. If you won't do it I will do it in some time :)

not me, I'm not a PHP guy yet :)
