## Beskrivning

Vieww Directory is the easiest way to put a member directory on your WordPress site.
Whether you run an industry association, a local business network, a tradies’ directory,
a club or a community marketplace, your members get a clean profile page and your
visitors find them in seconds.

You add a member, choose a category, drop a shortcode into a page — and that’s it.
No page builder, no extra plugins, no fuss.

**What your visitors get:**

 * A clean, searchable directory of every member
 * Filter by category, search by name or keyword
 * A profile page for each member with logo, photo gallery, contact details and 
   a map of where to find them
 * A featured-members showcase to spotlight your top supporters

**What you get:**

 * Add a member in under a minute — name, contact details, photos, done
 * Hierarchical categories so you can organise members the way they actually fit
 * Featured members get a gold badge and the top of the list
 * Pick your own colours, fonts and spacing from a single design panel
 * A grid layout that looks great on phones, tablets and desktops
 * Built-in maps for member locations (or turn maps off site-wide if you’d rather
   not use them)

**Shortcodes you can drop into any page or layout:**

 * `[viewwdi_directory]` — the full directory grid with search and category filters
 * `[viewwdi_layout]` — directory grid with the category sidebar in a two-column
   layout
 * `[viewwdi_featured]` — a row of your featured members
 * `[viewwdi_sidebar]` — just the category navigation (works in widget areas too)

**Requirements:**

 * WordPress 5.6 or higher
 * PHP 7.4 or higher

### External Services

This plugin connects to a small number of free, optional external services. Each
is described below along with when it is used and what data is sent.

#### Google Fonts API

Used to load web fonts chosen in the Design Settings. Only occurs when a Google 
Font (as opposed to a system font) is selected in **Directory > Design > Typography**.

 * **URL:** https://fonts.googleapis.com
 * **When used:** Only when a Google Font is selected in Design Settings (off by
   default — system fonts are the default)
 * **Data sent:** The names of the selected font families (e.g. ”Inter”, ”Poppins”).
   No personal data or site data is transmitted.
 * **Privacy policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy
 * **Terms of service:** https://developers.google.com/terms

If you prefer not to use Google Fonts, simply leave the heading and body font selectors
set to a System Font — no external requests will be made.

#### Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) geocoding

Used to convert a member’s address into latitude/longitude coordinates so the listing
can be shown on the directory map. Runs on the server when a member is saved in 
the WordPress admin, and in the browser when an admin clicks the ”Geocode Now” button
on a member edit screen.

 * **URL:** https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search
 * **When used:** Only on the admin side — when a member is saved with a new/changed
   address, or when the ”Geocode Now” button is pressed in the Business Details 
   meta box. No lookups run on the front-end.
 * **Data sent:** The member’s street address, suburb, state, postcode, and the 
   country string ”Australia”. No personal data beyond the business address.
 * **Privacy policy:** https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
 * **Terms of use:** https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/

Leaving the latitude/longitude fields filled manually in the member edit screen 
prevents any Nominatim request from being sent for that member on save.

#### Photon (komoot.io) address autocomplete

Used to show a real-time address suggestion dropdown in the admin while typing into
the Street Address field. Selecting a suggestion populates the suburb, state, postcode
and coordinates at once.

 * **URL:** https://photon.komoot.io/api/
 * **When used:** Only on the admin side — while an editor is typing into the Street
   Address field of a member. Requests stop if the user stops typing or clicks elsewhere.
   No lookups run on the front-end.
 * **Data sent:** The partial address text the user is typing, plus a geographic
   bias toward Australia. No personal data, no site data.
 * **Privacy policy:** https://www.komoot.com/privacy
 * **Service info:** https://photon.komoot.io/

If you prefer not to use Photon autocomplete, simply ignore the suggestions and 
type the address manually — no suggestions will be acted on unless you click or 
Enter one.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `vieww-directory` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install
    through the WordPress plugins screen
 2. Activate the plugin through the ’Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Add members via **Directory** in the admin sidebar
 4. Manage business categories via **Directory > Categories** (supports subcategories)
 5. Use shortcodes in your pages to display the directory

## Vanliga frågor

### Do I need any other plugins?

No! The plugin is completely self-contained. It registers its own custom post type
and creates native WordPress meta boxes for all member fields.

### What shortcodes are available?

**Directory Grid:**
 [viewwdi_directory]

Displays all members in a responsive grid with search and category filtering.

Attributes: `columns` (2 or 3, default 3), `limit` (number of members, default -
1 for all), `featured` (true/false), `show_search` (true/false).

**Category Sidebar:**
 [viewwdi_sidebar]

Renders a hierarchical category list. Clicking a category filters the directory.

Attributes: `title` (heading text), `show_counts` (true/false), `show_all` (true/
false).

**Featured Members:**
 [viewwdi_featured limit=”6″ columns=”3″]

Quick shortcode for a featured members block.

**All-in-One Layout:**
 [viewwdi_layout]

Renders the sidebar and directory grid in a responsive two-column layout. No page
builder columns needed.

Attributes: all `[viewwdi_directory]` attributes plus `show_sidebar` (true/false),`
sidebar_title` (heading text), `show_counts` (true/false).

### How do I set up a two-column directory page?

The easiest way is to use `[viewwdi_layout]` — it renders the sidebar and grid side
by side automatically.

Alternatively, place `[viewwdi_sidebar]` in a 30% left column and `[viewwdi_directory]`
in a 70% right column using your page builder or theme layout. The sidebar links
update the URL and the directory reads the URL parameter to filter automatically.

### Can I customise the appearance?

Yes! Go to **Directory > Design** in the WordPress admin to customise colours, typography,
and spacing. Changes apply to all directory pages, cards, and profiles.

### How do featured members work?

Edit any member and check the ”Mark as Featured Member” checkbox in the sidebar.
Featured members appear first in the directory with a gold badge.

### Does the plugin support subcategories?

Yes! Go to **Directory > Categories**, add a parent category (e.g. ”Food & Beverage”),
then add child categories (e.g. ”Cafes”, ”Restaurants”) with the parent set. The
sidebar renders parent > children with an expand/collapse arrow.

## Ändringslogg

#### 1.4.1

 * IMPROVEMENT: Plugin description and listing rewritten to focus on what site owners
   and visitors get out of the directory, rather than internal architecture.
 * NEW: Plugin icon added.

#### 1.4.0

 * IMPROVEMENT: Single-member Location section now renders as a matching teal-headed
   card alongside Contact Details, instead of a flush, unstyled map below the contact
   panel.
 * IMPROVEMENT: Member cards in the directory grid now align their ”View Profile”
   button to the bottom regardless of contact-detail length, so cards in the same
   row sit flush.
 * IMPROVEMENT: Empty-state copy across the directory archive is more conversational(”
   No members match your filters” / ”Browse all members”) with a heading + body 
   + CTA layout.
 * FIX: Addresses with both a unit keyword AND a slash (e.g. `Unit 5/123 Main St`)
   no longer lose the street number during geocoding — the unit-prefix stripper 
   now stops at the slash, so the trailing house number survives and Nominatim resolves
   to the actual street rather than the suburb centroid.

#### 1.3.2

 * Fix: Business Name was not syncing to the post title/slug in the block editor,
   leaving new members saved as ”No title” with a numeric slug. The sync-to-title
   JavaScript was registered via wp_add_inline_script() on a hook callback that 
   fired before the target script handle was registered, so the inline code was 
   silently dropped. Bumped the inline-script callback priority so it runs after
   the main admin enqueue.
 * Fix: Hardened the save_post handler’s recursion guard against the edge case where
   an anonymous-closure callback could not be unhooked via remove_action() — now
   uses a static re-entrancy flag.
 * Enhancement: Members saved with a numeric fallback slug (e.g. 9887) now get a
   proper slug generated from the Business Name on the next save.
 * New: Added Directory  Settings admin page with an ”Enable maps” toggle. When 
   disabled, Leaflet, MarkerCluster, Nominatim geocoding, Photon address autocomplete,
   the map container, the admin-side map assets, and the Latitude/Longitude meta-
   box fields are all suppressed. Default is enabled for backward compatibility.
   Existing coordinate data is preserved when maps are disabled and restored if 
   re-enabled.

#### 1.3.1

 * Internal release — superseded by 1.3.2.

#### 1.3.0

 * Rebranded from Next Point Directory to Vieww Directory
 * All shortcodes renamed: np_sidebar to viewwdi_sidebar, np_directory to viewwdi_directory,
   np_featured to viewwdi_featured
 * Automatic database migration from old plugin naming
 * Added Design Settings admin page for visual colour/typography customisation
 * Added featured member backfill on upgrade
 * Full internationalization support
 * WordPress.org coding standards compliance
 * Security: proper nonce verification, input sanitisation, and output escaping 
   throughout

#### 1.1.0

 * Initial release (as Next Point Directory)
 * Custom post type for directory members with full business detail fields
 * Hierarchical business categories with parent/child support
 * Three shortcodes: sidebar, directory grid, featured members
 * Logo and photo gallery uploads
 * Search and category filtering via URL parameters
 * Responsive grid layout
 * Featured member highlighting with gold badge
