README

Server-side implementation of the QueueIT queueing system. This will put customers into a queue before they can enter the site. FPC modules could prevent this module from working properly.(Please contact queue-it for the practices of handling FPC scenario.)

Installation

How to install the module using different methods.

Manual

First clone this repository inside your Magento2 app/code folder like below:

Afterwards install the extension:

cd <your Magento 2 install dir>

You can find an official help about how to install a Magento extension here.

Configuration

After installing the module, go to the below menu and enable the module, enter your CustomerId and Secret Key which you have got from QueueIT. Stores -> Configuration -> Services -> Queueit KnownUser

In here

• Enabled: Enable/disable module execution. If enabled this will generally give a redirect on every request. So it is advanced to enable it only before an event is starting.
• CustomerID: This is usually your account name
• Secret Key: This is the secret key found in QueueIt: Account -> Security -> Known User (tab) -> Default secret key
• How are the configs updated: The way changes on QueueIT's side are requested
  • Push: Configure url in QueueIT. Postback url is {{store_url}}/rest/V1/queueit/integrationinfo/
  • Manual: To Update configuration manually or to see the current configuration: Content -> QueueIt KnownUser -> Admin. You can see the current config at this page and also upload confugartion file for updating it.

FPC (Protecting ajax calls on static pages)

If you have Full Page Cache enabled you should add queue-it javascript to your pages as below :

1. Make sure KnownUser code will not run on static pages (by ignoring those URLs in your integration configuration).
2. Add below JavaScript tags to all static pages : You can add this tag in the header files : ...\vendor\magento\module-theme\view\frontend\templates\html\header.phtml

   <script type="text/javascript" src="//static.queue-it.net/script/queueclient.min.js"></script>
   <script
    data-queueit-intercept-domain="{YOUR_CURRENT_DOMAIN}"
      data-queueit-intercept="true"
     data-queueit-c="{YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID}"
     type="text/javascript"
     src="//static.queue-it.net/script/queueconfigloader.min.js">
   </script>
   

3. Add some triggers for your dynamic ajax calls you want to queue users on.
