## Description

Leuchter.ORG Business Zitate is the official WordPress plugin for [business-zitate.de](https://business-zitate.de),
a curated German-language collection of business quotes operated by Leuchter.ORG.
Display a daily or random business quote on your site, optionally filtered by category.

**Features**

 * Shortcode `[leucbuzi_quote]` for pages, posts and text widgets
 * Gutenberg block “Leuchter.ORG Business Zitat” with live preview
 * Classic widget for sidebars
 * Configurable: quote of the day or random quote, optionally limited to a single
   category
 * Free color choice (background color matches your design; text color is calculated
   automatically based on contrast)
 * All links return to business-zitate.de with UTM parameters
 * No cookies, no tracking pixels, no advertising in the WordPress admin

The plugin embeds the quote widget via iframe from business-zitate.de. The plugin
itself does not set any cookies on your site and does not store any personal data.

Translations included: German (de_DE, source), English (en_US), French (fr_FR), 
Spanish (es_ES), Italian (it_IT).

### External services

This plugin connects to **business-zitate.de**, a service operated by Leuchter.ORG(
Daniel Leuchter, Germany). The connection is required for the core functionality:
displaying the quotes. The following connections are made:

**1. Quote embed (required, frontend)**

Every page that contains the shortcode, block or widget loads an iframe from `https://
business-zitate.de/embed/quote`. When the iframe loads, the visitor’s browser transmits
the following data to business-zitate.de (just like for any other external resource):

 * IP address
 * User-Agent
 * Referrer URL (restricted by `referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"`)
 * The display parameters set via shortcode/block (type, category, color)

No personal data of your visitors is stored in databases. No cookies are set on 
your WordPress site by this plugin.

**2. Category list (required, admin)**

When you open the plugin settings under “Settings  Leuchter.ORG Business Zitate”
or the Gutenberg block, the plugin makes a single request (cached for one hour) 
to `https://business-zitate.de/api/categories` to fetch the current list of available
categories. Only standard HTTP headers are transmitted (your server’s IP address,
the WordPress User-Agent).

**3. Anonymous usage statistics (optional, DISABLED by default)**

You can explicitly enable “Anonymous usage statistics” in the plugin settings. Only
then will the plugin send the following data to `https://business-zitate.de/api/
plugin/ping` on activation, deactivation and once every 24 hours when an admin page
is loaded:

 * Event name (`plugin_activated`, `plugin_deactivated`, `plugin_admin_view`)
 * Hostname of your site (`home_url()`)
 * Plugin version
 * WordPress version

This data is used solely to measure plugin reach. By default this feature is **disabled**
and no data is transmitted.

## FAQ

### How much does the plugin cost?

Nothing. Both the plugin and the use of the widget are free of charge.

### Do I need an account?

No. No registration, no API key required.

### Is visitor data transmitted?

Yes. When the iframe loads, the visitor’s IP address, User-Agent and referrer are
transmitted to business-zitate.de — just like for any external resource. No cookies
are set and no personal data is stored. See the “External services” section for 
details.

### Can I customize the design to match my site?

Yes. In the settings you choose a key color for the background; text contrast is
calculated automatically. Each shortcode/block can override colors, type and category
individually.

### Which shortcode attributes are supported?

[leucbuzi_quote type=”daily|random” category=”slug” color=”#hex” width=”100%” height
=”260″]

### How often does the quote of the day change?

Daily at midnight (UTC). Within a calendar day, every visitor sees the same quote.

### Does the plugin send telemetry?

By default, **no**. If you explicitly enable it in the settings, it sends anonymous
usage statistics (hostname, plugin version, WP version). See the “External services”
section for details.

## Changelog

#### 1.3.2

 * Add `de_DE` translation file (identity translation; source language is German).
   German WordPress installations now load the matching `.mo` automatically and 
   translate.wordpress.org no longer reports the plugin as “not yet translated to
   German”.

#### 1.3.1

 * Fix: text domain in plugin header was still set to the previous slug `leuchter-
   business-zitate` and is now correctly `leuchterorg-business-zitate` (matches 
   the slug, all gettext calls and the `/languages` files)
 * Fix: shortcode example in FAQ updated to `[leucbuzi_quote]`

#### 1.3.0

 * Moved inline `<script>` from admin settings page into a separate file (`assets/
   js/admin.js`) and enqueued it via `wp_enqueue_script()` (WordPress.org review
   feedback)
 * Unified ALL code prefixes to a single distinctive 8-character prefix `leucbuzi`:
    - Constants: `LOBZP_*` -> `LEUCBUZI_*`
    - Namespace: `LeuchterOrgBusinessZitate\` -> `Leucbuzi\`
    - Options/transients: `lobzp_*` -> `leucbuzi_*`
    - Shortcode: `[leuchterorg_business_zitat]` -> `[leucbuzi_quote]`
    - Widget id: `leuchterorg_business_zitate_widget` -> `leucbuzi_widget`

    - HTML field IDs in admin: `bz_*` / `lobzp_*` -> `leucbuzi_*`

#### 1.2.0

   and the operator’s domain
 * New shortcode: `[leucbuzi_quote]`
