How to Add Asyntai AI Chatbot to TastyIgniter

Step-by-step guide for TastyIgniter restaurant websites

Get Embed Code

The free Asyntai extension puts the AI chatbot on the pages of your TastyIgniter restaurant website. The chatbot answers visitor questions about your menu, opening hours, delivery and reservations from your own pages, 24/7, in more than 80 languages. It needs no theme edit and it changes no core file. It works on TastyIgniter 4 (tested on 4.4.5 with PHP 8.3 and 8.4).

Step 1: Install the extension

  1. Download the extension: asyntai-ai-chatbot-tastyigniter.zip
  2. Unzip the file. You get one folder named aichatbot.
  3. In the extensions folder of your site, make a folder named asyntai.
  4. Upload the aichatbot folder into it, with FTP or the file manager of your hosting. The result is extensions/asyntai/aichatbot/composer.json.

Step 2: Enter your Widget ID

Your Widget ID is in your Asyntai Dashboard, under "Embed Code". It looks like asyntai_1a2b3c4d5e6f.

  1. Log in to your TastyIgniter admin area and open Manage > Settings.
  2. Click Asyntai AI Chatbot.
  3. Paste your Widget ID into the Widget ID field. You can also paste the whole embed code: the extension takes the ID from it.
  4. Make sure Show the chatbot on the site is on.
  5. Click Save.

Note: Nothing loads until you enter a valid Widget ID. Use your own ID, not the one in the example.

Where the chatbot shows

The chatbot shows on the pages of your theme, such as the home page, menu, reservation, contact, login and checkout pages.

Tip: The admin area never loads the chatbot. Error pages do not load it either.

Extension settings

  • Widget ID: Your own Asyntai Widget ID. Nothing loads without it.
  • Show the chatbot on the site: Shows or hides the chatbot. It is on by default.
  • Pages without the chatbot: One page path on each line, for example contact or default/menus*. An asterisk matches any text. Use / for the home page. Leave the field empty to load the chatbot on every page.

Step 3: Verify the installation

Open your restaurant website in a private window. The chat button is in the bottom corner. Click it and make sure it opens and answers.

Not seeing the chatbot? Check three things. The extension is enabled on Manage > Extensions. Show the chatbot on the site is on. The page you are on is not in the Pages without the chatbot list.

Uninstall

  1. Open Manage > Extensions and disable Asyntai AI Chatbot.
  2. Delete the folder extensions/asyntai/aichatbot from your server.
  3. No other site data is touched.
