## Description

Aqil Zikry Waktu Solat Malaysia displays accurate daily prayer times for all Malaysian
JAKIM zones in a beautiful, responsive card:

 * **Official data** — fetched directly from JAKIM’s e-Solat API, cached once per
   day so your site never hammers the government server.
 * **All 60+ zones** — every state, grouped and searchable.
 * **Three ways to add it** — a Gutenberg block, a native Elementor widget (drag&
   drop, with live styling controls), or the `[wsmy_waktu_solat]` shortcode.
 * **Three built-in themes** — Emerald (dark green & gold), Light (white & green),
   Midnight (deep navy). Site-wide defaults are set under the _Waktu Solat_ admin
   menu; every block/widget/shortcode can override them.
 * **Live countdown** — highlights the current prayer and counts down to the next
   one, updating every second.
 * **Two layouts** — a full card for content areas and a compact card for sidebars
   and footers.
 * **Translation-ready** — all strings use the `aqilzikry-waktu-solat-malaysia` 
   text domain.

#### Shortcode examples

 * `[wsmy_waktu_solat]` — site defaults.
 * `[wsmy_waktu_solat zone="WLY01" theme="light"]` — Kuala Lumpur, light theme.
 * `[wsmy_waktu_solat zone="SGR01" layout="compact" countdown="no" imsak="no"]` —
   compact sidebar version.

### External services

This plugin relies on one external service: the **JAKIM e-Solat API**, the official
prayer-times service of Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), the Department 
of Islamic Development Malaysia.

**What the service is and why it is used**

The plugin cannot calculate prayer times on its own. It requests the official daily
prayer schedule for the JAKIM zone you select so that the card can display accurate,
government-published times.

**What data is sent, and when**

 * **Endpoint:** `https://www.e-solat.gov.my/index.php?r=esolatApi/takwimsolat&period
   =today&zone=ZONE`
 * **What is sent:** only the selected zone code (for example `SGR01`) and the fixed
   period value `today`. No personal data, visitor data, IP-identifying data or 
   site data is added to the request by this plugin. As with any outbound HTTP request,
   your web server’s own IP address is visible to the receiving server.
 * **When:** server-side only, at most once per zone per day. Responses are cached
   with the WordPress Transients API until just after midnight in your site’s timezone.
   Requests are never made from the visitor’s browser, so visitors never contact
   JAKIM directly.

**Provider and legal terms**

 * **Provider:** Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) — https://www.e-solat.gov.
   my/
 * **Privacy policy (Dasar Privasi):** https://www.e-solat.gov.my/ — JAKIM does 
   not publish its policies at separate URLs. The _Dasar Privasi_ and _Dasar Keselamatan_
   notices are published on the e-Solat home page itself and open from the links
   in the site footer. The privacy notice states that no personal information is
   collected while browsing the site.
 * **Terms of use:** JAKIM does not publish a separate terms-of-service document
   for the e-Solat portal. The _Piagam Pelanggan_ (client charter) and the security
   policy, both linked in the same footer, are the governing notices it publishes.

This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by JAKIM. “JAKIM” 
and “e-Solat” are used only to identify the source of the data.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Waktu Solat Malaysian prayer times from the official JAKIM e-Solat API, with
   themes and a live countdown.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP via _Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin_, or unzip it into `/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Set your default zone, theme and layout under the _Waktu Solat_ admin menu.
 4. Add the “Waktu Solat” block in the editor, drag the “Waktu Solat” widget in Elementor,
    or place the `[wsmy_waktu_solat]` shortcode anywhere.

## FAQ

### Where does the data come from?

From JAKIM’s official e-Solat API — the same source used by government portals such
as the Selangor Mufti Department website. See “External services” above.

### Does it slow my site down?

No. Times are fetched server-side at most once per zone per day and cached with 
the Transients API. CSS/JS load only on pages that actually display the card.

### Which zones are supported?

All JAKIM zones for every Malaysian state and federal territory (Johor to Labuan).

### Does it work without Elementor?

Yes. Elementor is optional — the Gutenberg block and shortcode work with any theme.
The Elementor widget simply appears automatically when Elementor is active.

### Can I change the colors?

Pick one of the three themes, or (in Elementor) override the accent color, corner
radius and width per widget. Developers can also override the `--wsmy-*` CSS custom
properties.

## Changelog

#### 1.5.0

 * Change: name and text domain finalised as Aqil Zikry Waktu Solat Malaysia / `
   aqilzikry-waktu-solat-malaysia`. The plugin is published by an individual author
   and is not affiliated with any company.

#### 1.4.0

 * Change: the shortcode is now `[wsmy_waktu_solat]` (was `[waktu_solat]`) and the
   Elementor widget key is now `wsmy-waktu-solat`, so neither can collide with another
   plugin. Existing shortcodes and Elementor widgets must be re-added.
 * Improved: full disclosure of the JAKIM e-Solat external service in the readme,
   including endpoint, data sent, timing and the provider’s published policies.
 * Fixed: the Elementor stylesheet and script were being enqueued on every Elementor
   front-end page instead of only where a card is rendered.
 * Fixed: transient expiry now uses the site timezone via `wp_timezone()` instead
   of the deprecated `current_time( 'timestamp' )` pattern.
 * Fixed: uninstall cleanup now uses `$wpdb->prepare()` with `esc_like()`.
 * Removed: the `Plugin URI` header, which pointed at a page that did not exist.
 * Removed: `preview.html`, a development-only file that was shipping with the plugin.

#### 1.3.0

 * Standardised the internal `wsmy_` prefix across options, functions and asset 
   handles.

#### 1.2.1

 * Fix: JAKIM returns status “OK!” — the response validation was rejecting valid
   data (“Unexpected data format” error).
 * Change: settings now live in their own top-level “Waktu Solat” admin menu (was
   under Settings).

#### 1.2.0

 * New: Gutenberg block (server-rendered, with zone/theme/layout controls).
 * New: full internationalization + POT file.
 * New: uninstall cleanup (options + cached transients, multisite aware).
 * New: “Settings” link on the Plugins screen.
 * Improved: stricter validation of zone/theme/layout options.

#### 1.1.0

 * New: settings page (default zone, theme, layout).
 * New: Elementor widget with live controls.
 * New: Light and Midnight themes; compact layout.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release: shortcode, Emerald card, JAKIM API with daily caching, countdown.
