Adding Olark to your Drupal website (Tutorial based on version 6.1.4)

Following the steps outlined below will have you communicating with customers in no time.




  1. Log into your Drupal administration pages


  2. Before you can paste in the Olark code, you have to create a new input format to make sure none of it gets filtered out.


  3. Under Site Configuration, choose Input formats




  4. Select Add input format at the top




  5. Give the new input format a name. Any name will do, but if you’re not feeling creative right now, “Javascript” works as well as any.




  6. Then uncheck all of the checkboxes so that only administrators can use this input format, and there are no filters on it.




  7. When you’re done, click Save configuration at the bottom and go back to the Administer page.

  8. Add a new block




  9. Copy your Olark JavaScript code:

  14. 15. Celebrate!
