## Beschreibung

This plugin allows you to integrate your restaurant’s Zenchef reservation widget
directly on all pages of your website, allowing your customers to take reservations
directly without having to switch page.
 You can also customize the integration 
according to your needs.

### Usage

#### Default (global) widget

Once your restaurant’s ID is set, the widget is added automatically to every page
of your website, with a floating booking button positioned according to the settings.

#### Shortcode

You can also place the widget inline on a specific page or post using the `[zenchef_widget]`
shortcode. With no attributes, it uses the same settings as the global widget:

    ```
    [zenchef_widget]
    ```

You can override any of the settings per-page (useful for sites managing several
restaurants):

    ```
    [zenchef_widget restaurant_id="367219" open_delay="0" position="center"]
    ```

All of the settings from the admin page can be overridden as shortcode attributes:

    ```
    [zenchef_widget restaurant_id="367219" language="fr" primary_color="#cc0000" hide_button="1" auto_open="0" disable_gtm="1" disable_ga4="1"]
    ```

When the shortcode is used on a page, the floating global widget is not also injected,
so there is never a duplicate.

**Tip for the Gutenberg editor**: Insert the shortcode using a _Shortcode_ block(
Add Block / Shortcode), not a Paragraph block — Paragraph blocks can auto-format
quotes and break the attributes. The widget only renders on the front-end of your
site; Gutenberg does not preview shortcodes inside the editor.

### Privacy policy

Our reservation widget plugin relies on the Zenchef service to enable restaurants
to manage table reservations directly from their website. It requires a subscription
to Zenchef.

#### Purpose

The Zenchef service is integrated into our plugin to provide a reservation widget
on the restaurant’s website, allowing customers to reserve tables online seamlessly.

#### Data Transmission

User data is transmitted to Zenchef when a customer makes a reservation or updates
their reservation details through the widget.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to your WordPress plugins directory, or install the plugin through
    your website dashboard, under _Plugins / Add new_ page.
 2. Activate the plugin through your website dashboard, under _Plugins_.
 3. Set your restaurant’s ID on the new settings page that have been added to your 
    dashboard, under _Settings / Zenchef widget_.

## FAQ

### Where can I find my restaurant’s ID?

Your restaurant’s ID is the number displayed on the top of your [Zenchef dashboard](https://app.zenchef.com/).

### How can I open the booking widget from a custom button (Elementor, Gutenberg, Divi…)?

As long as the plugin is active and a restaurant ID is set, you can trigger the 
booking widget from any clickable element on your page. The Zenchef SDK natively
supports three ways to do this:

 1. **Add a data attribute to any button or link:**
 2. Book a table
 3. This works with HTML widgets in Elementor, custom HTML blocks in Gutenberg, or 
    anywhere you can edit raw HTML.
 4. **Use a hash-based link** (useful when the page builder only lets you set an URL):
 5. [Book a table](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/zenchef-widget-integration/?output_format=md#zc-action-open)
 6. **Call the JavaScript API** from your own scripts:
 7. ZenchefWidget.open() — opens the widget
     ZenchefWidget.close() — closes it ZenchefWidget.
    toggle() — toggles it

## Änderungsprotokoll

#### 1.2.0

 * Tested with WordPress 7.0.
 * Settings page expanded with language, custom brand colour (with „use the colour
   set in Zenchef OS“ mode and a colour picker), hide-floating-button, explicit 
   auto-open toggle, and disable-GTM / disable-GA4 options. Reorganised into four
   sections (Restaurant, Appearance, Behaviour, Analytics).
 * All new settings can be overridden per-page through the `[zenchef_widget]` shortcode.
 * In-admin shortcode reference card with the full attribute list added below the
   settings form.
 * Existing installs are unaffected — defaults preserve the previous behaviour.

#### 1.1.0

 * Restaurant ID is now trimmed and validated on save, so a stray space copy-pasted
   from the Zenchef dashboard no longer silently breaks the widget. Invalid values
   are rejected with a clear error notice instead of being saved.
 * New `[zenchef_widget]` shortcode for inline embedding and per-page configuration
   overrides (useful for multi-restaurant sites).
 * Documented how to trigger the booking widget from a custom button in Elementor,
   Gutenberg, or any other page builder.

#### 1.0

 * Initial release of the plugin.
 * Basic widget integration and admin settings.
