## Descripción

**RIACO Feedback** lets your visitors submit feature requests, vote on existing 
ideas, and track progress through a public roadmap — all without leaving your WordPress
site. It takes minutes to set up and requires no coding.

Install the plugin, drop a shortcode on any page, and your users can start submitting
and voting immediately. Admins review and approve submissions from the WordPress
dashboard before they go public.

#### Core Features

**Feedback Board**

 * Visitors submit ideas via a clean, customizable form (title + description)
 * Submitted feedback is held in a moderation queue until you approve it
 * Approved items appear on a public, vote-sorted board
 * Filter by status (Open, Planned, In Progress, Completed) or search by keyword
 * Sort by most votes, newest, or oldest
 * Content cards expand inline — no page reload needed
 * Paginated AJAX loading — no page refreshes

**Voting System**

 * One vote per visitor, tracked by a salted SHA-256 hash of IP + User-Agent — no
   account required
 * Toggle upvote / unvote with a single click
 * Vote counts update live via AJAX
 * Voting is automatically disabled on completed items
 * Duplicate votes are rejected at the database level (UNIQUE constraint)

**Product Roadmap**

 * Three-column kanban view: Planned / In Progress / Completed
 * Each column paginates independently
 * Compact cards show title, vote button, and completion date (completed items)
 * Embed on any page with `[riaco_feedback_roadmap]`

**Admin Tools**

 * Dedicated **Feedback** menu in the WordPress admin
 * Pending-count bubble on the menu item (mirrors the Comments counter)
 * One-click **Approve** action per item; bulk approve supported
 * Dashboard widget showing the 5 most recent pending submissions
 * Status and Project dropdown filters on the list table
 * Admin email notification when new feedback is submitted (opt-in)

**Customization & Settings**

 * 8 color pickers for upvote button and form appearance — no CSS required
 * Configurable items per page (default 20)
 * Multiple **Projects** — scope each shortcode to a project slug
 * All colors output as direct CSS class rules so they always win the cascade

**For Developers**

 * Clean service-container architecture with a `ServiceInterface` contract
 * 5 action hooks: `riaco_feedback_submitted`, `riaco_feedback_upvoted`, `riaco_feedback_unvoted`,`
   riaco_feedback_approved`, `riaco_feedback_loaded`
 * Filterable email recipient, subject, and message body
 * `riaco_feedback_submission_data` filter to modify post arguments before creation
 * `riaco_feedback_item_html` filter to override the rendered card HTML
 * `riaco_feedback_services` filter to add or replace services in the container
 * PSR-4 autoloading via Composer

#### Perfect For

 * **SaaS and software teams** — let users vote on the next feature to build
 * **WordPress theme / plugin developers** — collect roadmap requests from customers
 * **Community sites and forums** — give members a structured way to suggest ideas
 * **Agencies** — drop a branded feedback board on any client project
 * **Internal tools** — gather employee suggestions on a private intranet page

#### Shortcodes

**`[riaco_feedback_features project="main"]`**
 Renders the submission form alongside
the full feedback board. This is the all-in-one shortcode for most setups.

**`[riaco_feedback_features_board project="main"]`**
 Renders only the feedback 
board (no form). Use this when you want the form and the list on separate pages.

**`[riaco_feedback_roadmap project="main"]`**
 Renders the three-column kanban roadmap
grouped by status.

All shortcodes accept a `project` attribute that scopes the display to a specific
project slug (default: `main`). Create additional projects from **Feedback  Projects**
in the admin.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `riaco-feedback` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install directly
    from the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through **Plugins  Installed Plugins**.
 3. Add `[riaco_feedback_features]` to any page or post where you want the submission
    form and feedback board to appear.
 4. Optionally add `[riaco_feedback_roadmap]` to a separate page for the kanban roadmap
    view.
 5. Visit **Feedback  Settings** to configure email notifications, items per page, 
    and button/form colors.

## FAQ

### How do I add the feedback form to a page?

Edit any page or post and insert the shortcode `[riaco_feedback_features]`. The 
form and the board will both appear at that location. You can also use the Gutenberg
shortcode block or a classic text widget.

### Can I have separate boards for different products or projects?

Yes. Go to **Feedback  Projects** and create a project for each product. Then pass
the project slug to the shortcode:

    ```
    [riaco_feedback_features project="my-product"]
    [riaco_feedback_roadmap project="my-product"]
    ```

Each shortcode will only show feedback assigned to that project.

### How does the voting system prevent duplicate votes?

Each voter is identified by a salted SHA-256 hash of their IP address and User-Agent
string — no account or cookie is required. The database enforces a UNIQUE constraint
on `(post_id, voter_hash)`, so duplicate votes are impossible at the storage level.

### Can I change the colors of the upvote button and the form?

Yes. Go to **Feedback  Settings** and use the eight color pickers to set the upvote
button background, text, voted-state colors, submit button colors, form background,
and form border. Changes take effect immediately — no CSS editing needed.

### What happens to feedback after it is submitted?

Newly submitted feedback is saved with `pending` status and does not appear on the
public board. An admin (or editor) must approve it from **Feedback  Feedback** by
clicking **Approve** in the row actions or using the bulk approve action. Once approved,
the item is published and visible to visitors.

### Can I get an email when someone submits feedback?

Yes. Go to **Feedback  Settings** and enable the **Notify admin on new submission**
option. The email goes to the address configured in **Settings  General**. You can
override the recipient, subject, and message body using the `riaco_feedback_email_to`,`
riaco_feedback_email_subject`, and `riaco_feedback_email_message` filters.

### Is there a limit on how many times one person can submit feedback?

Yes. By default, each IP address is limited to 3 submissions per hour. You can change
this limit with the `riaco_feedback_rate_limit` filter:

    ```
    add_filter( 'riaco_feedback_rate_limit', fn() => 5 );
    ```

The form also includes a honeypot field that silently rejects most bot submissions.

### Can visitors vote on items in the roadmap?

Yes. The roadmap shortcode `[riaco_feedback_roadmap]` shows upvote buttons on Planned
and In Progress items. Completed items display the completion date but voting is
intentionally disabled for them.

### How do I display only the feedback list without the submission form?

Use `[riaco_feedback_features_board project="main"]` instead of `[riaco_feedback_features]`.
This renders the filter bar and paginated list only, with no submission form.

### Is this plugin compatible with multisite?

The plugin is tested on standard WordPress installations. On multisite, activate
it per-site (not network-activated) to ensure each site gets its own database table
and settings.

### Does it work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?

Yes. Any page builder that supports WordPress shortcodes can render RIACO Feedback.
Add a Shortcode widget/element and paste in `[riaco_feedback_features]`.

### Is the plugin free?

Yes, RIACO Feedback is 100% free and open source under the GPLv2 license.

## Registro de cambios

#### 1.1.1

 * Fix: Tailwind preflight disabled globally; base resets now scoped to plugin containers
   so theme element styles (headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.) are no longer overridden.
 * Improvement: Plugin stylesheet and JS are now loaded only on pages where a plugin
   shortcode renders, not on every page.
 * Fix: PHPCS warnings resolved — translators comment placement, multi-line query
   suppression block, intentional `tax_query` annotations, plugin name header aligned
   with readme.

#### 1.1.0

 * Security: Vote and unvote cookies now set with `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite
   =Lax` flags.
 * Security: Admin single-approve action now validates the target post is a `riaco_feedback`
   post before publishing.
 * Fix: Vote handler now correctly rejects the request when the database insert 
   fails (e.g. duplicate vote after cookie deletion) instead of silently returning
   success.
 * Fix: Unvote handler now returns an error if the vote row does not exist rather
   than silently returning success.
 * Fix: Feedback submission now validates the project slug exists as a taxonomy 
   term before creating the post, preventing orphaned posts and rate-limit bypass.
 * Fix: `wp_insert_post()` return value is now checked for `WP_Error` in addition
   to falsy zero.
 * Tooling: Corrected `.phpcs.xml.dist` — prefix was `my-plugin`, now `riaco,RIACO`;
   text domain was `my-plugin`, now `riaco-feedback`; minimum supported WP version
   updated to 6.2.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
 * Frontend feedback submission form with honeypot spam protection and IP-based 
   rate limiting.
 * AJAX voting system with SHA-256 voter hash and database-level duplicate prevention.
 * Feedback board shortcode with filter bar (search, status, sort) and paginated
   AJAX loading.
 * Roadmap shortcode with three-column kanban and independent column pagination.
 * Admin moderation queue with single and bulk approve actions and pending count
   bubble.
 * Dashboard widget showing 5 most recent pending submissions.
 * Status and Project custom taxonomies with radio-button metaboxes.
 * Settings page with 8 color pickers, items-per-page option, and admin email notification.
 * Shortcodes help page with attribute reference and quick-start guide.
 * Developer hooks: 5 action hooks and multiple filters for full extensibility.
