Javascript Syntax error when user's name contains apostrophe

    If the current user has an apostrophe in their name(say it’s De’wayne), the plugin produces the following code:

    $zopim.livechat.set({name: 'De'wayne'...

    Obviously that’s invalid JavaScript(since the string is closed and then there’s a wayne that’s not expected there).

    The problem comes from not properly escaping/encoding the userdata. Please consider fixing this issue 🙂
