How to Integrate ChatGPT PHP in a Custom WordPress Plugin
Posted on 16th June 2023
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a PHP library that enables easy integration of chatbots in custom WordPress plugins. It abstracts away the underlying chatbot technology and provides a simple yet powerful interface for developers to build chatbots for their WordPress plugins.
Why use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT makes it easy to add chatbot functionality to your WordPress plugin. It takes care of all the underlying chatbot technology, so you can focus on building your plugin. It also provides a simple yet powerful interface for developers to build chatbots for their WordPress plugins.
How to use ChatGPT
To use ChatGPT, simply include the library in your plugin and then call the appropriate methods to integrate chatbot functionality into your plugin. For more detailed information, please refer to the ChatGPT documentation.
Including the Library
To include the ChatGPT library in your plugin, simply add the following line of code to your plugin:
include_once 'chatgpt.php';
Initializing the Library
Once the library is included in your plugin, you need to initialize it by calling the ChatGPT::init() method. This method takes an array of parameters that you can use to configure the chatbot. For a full list of parameters, please refer to the ChatGPT documentation.
Integrating the Chatbot
Once the library is initialized, you can start integrating the chatbot into your plugin. The first step is to register a chatbot handler with the ChatGPT::register_handler() method. This method takes a callback function that will be called when the chatbot receives a message. The callback function takes two parameters: the first is the message that was received, and the second is an array of options. For a full list of options, please refer to the ChatGPT documentation.
Once the chatbot handler is registered, you can start interacting with the chatbot by calling the ChatGPT::send_message() method. This method takes two parameters: the first is the message to send, and the second is an array of options. For a full list of options, please refer to the ChatGPT documentation.
Conclusion
ChatGPT is a powerful tool that makes it easy to add chatbot functionality to your WordPress plugin. It takes care of all the underlying chatbot technology, so you can focus on building your plugin. It also provides a simple yet powerful interface for developers to build chatbots for their WordPress plugins.
If you are using a custom WordPress plugin, you can integrate ChatGPT PHP in it by following these steps:
1. Download the latest version of the ChatGPT PHP library from GitHub.
2. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the ChatGPT.php file to your custom plugin directory.
3. In your custom plugin code, include the ChatGPT.php file and create an instance of the ChatGPT class.
4. Call the connect() method of the ChatGPT class instance to connect to the ChatGPT server.
5. Call the getSessionId() method to get the session ID of the current user.
6. Optionally, you can call the getUserId() method to get the user ID of the current user.
7. Call the startSession() method to start a new session.
8. Call the endSession() method to end the current session.
The ChatGPT PHP library provides various other methods that can be used to interact with the ChatGPT server. Refer to the documentation of the library for more details.
In this article, we will continue from where we left off in the last article on How to Integrate ChatGPT PHP in a Custom WordPress Plugin. We will be adding more features to our plugin to make it more useful.
First, let’s add a function to our plugin that will display a list of online users. This will be useful if you want to offer customer support or just chat with other users of your plugin.
Add the following code to your plugin:
function chatgpt_online_users() {
// Get an array of all online users
$online_users = chatgpt_get_online_users();
// Loop through each user and display their name
foreach ( $online_users as $user ) {
echo $user->display_name . ‘
‘;
}
}
Now that we have our function, we need to add a shortcode so that we can display the list of online users anywhere on our website. Add the following code to your plugin:
function chatgpt_online_users_shortcode() {
ob_start();
chatgpt_online_users();
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output;
}
add_shortcode( ‘chatgpt_online_users’, ‘chatgpt_online_users_shortcode’ );
You can now use the [chatgpt_online_users] shortcode to display the list of online users anywhere on your website.
Next, let’s add a function to our plugin that will display a chat form. This will allow users to chat with each other.
Add the following code to your plugin:
function chatgpt_chat_form() {
// Get the current user
$user = wp_get_current_user();
// If the user is not logged in, don’t show the chat form
if ( ! $user->exists() ) {
return;
}
// Get the list of online users
$online_users = chatgpt_get_online_users();
// Loop through each user and display a chat form for each one
foreach ( $online_users as $user ) {
// Don’t show a chat form for the current user
if ( $user->ID == get_current_user_id() ) {
continue;
}
// Show the chat form
?>
<form action="” method=”POST”>
<input type="hidden" name="chatgpt_to" value="ID ); ?>”>
ID, $_POST[‘chatgpt_to’], $_POST[‘chatgpt_message’] );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘chatgpt_send_message’ );
Now that we have added all of the necessary functions to our plugin, let’s add a few CSS rules to style our chat form. Add the following code to your plugin:
function chatgpt_plugin_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘chatgpt_plugin_styles’, plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . ‘chatgpt-plugin.css’, array(), ‘1.0.0’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘chatgpt_plugin_styles’ );
Now that we have added all of the necessary code to our plugin, let’s go over how to use it.
Once you have installed and activated the plugin, you can use the [chatgpt_online_users] shortcode to display a list of online users anywhere on your website.
You can use the [chatgpt_chat_form] shortcode to display a chat form anywhere on your website.
That’s all there is to it! You can now offer customer support or chat with other users of your plugin using the ChatGPT PHP library.
