Two variants

There are two versions. One is an iframe embed version. This is discouraged because it requires you to use a less strict cross site scripting setting. The other is a webhook version.

Setup webhook version

1. Put the hook.php file on a webserver that can be reached by your ezproxy users
2. Change the email address variables at the top. emailAddresses are where a needhost notification will be sent. adminEmail is notified when someone triggers the form by directly visiting the form. This was primarily to avoid false positives, but still be made aware if the form was somehow being made available.
3. Add the contents of emailNotice.js to your docs/needhost.htm inside a <script> tag. Update the webhook variable to point at your hook.php file.
4. Now, whenever the needhost.htm file is triggered, the hook.php file will send an email to alert staff.

Setup iframe version

1. Put the emailNotice.php file on a web server that can be reached from your ezproxy host.
2. Change the email address variables at the top. emailAddresses are where a needhost notification will be sent. adminEmail is notified when someone triggers the form by directly visiting the form. This was primarily to avoid false positives, but still be made aware if the form was somehow being made available.
3. Add <iframe id="emailNotice" src="//example.edu/ezproxyHostNeeded/emailNotice.php" frameboarder="0" style="display:none" referrerPolicy="unsafe-url"></iframe> to the bottom of your docs/needhost.htm file, making sure the src attribute points to the emailNotice.php file you just customized and made available.
