## Description

Collect24 Art ID connects your WordPress site to [Collect24.art](https://collect24.art),
a global registry that issues a permanent, resolvable **C24 Art ID** for artworks.

**WordPress stays your primary content system. Collect24 never replaces it.** You
keep creating and editing artworks exactly where you already do — a Post, a Page,
a custom post type like “Artwork” or “Portfolio”, or a WooCommerce Product. This
plugin maps the fields you choose onto the Collect24 registry schema, registers 
each artwork once, and then keeps that registration automatically up to date whenever
you edit the artwork in WordPress. Unpublishing or deleting the WordPress post never
deletes the Collect24 record or its C24 Art ID — the registry entry is designed 
to persist independently of your website.

#### This plugin uses an external service

This plugin sends data to, and receives data from, the Collect24.art API (`collect24.
art`), a third-party service operated by Collect24. Only the artwork fields you 
explicitly map (e.g. title, artist, medium, dimensions, image URLs) plus minimal
technical information needed to identify the source (site URL, WordPress post ID,
permalink) are sent — never your WordPress user list, customer data, orders, or 
unrelated site content. Data leaves your server only when you connect an API token
and register or sync an artwork; nothing is sent while the plugin is in Mock mode.
By connecting an account you agree to Collect24’s own terms:

 * Privacy Policy: [https://collect24.art/privacy](https://collect24.art/privacy)

See `docs/API-CONTRACT.md` and `docs/SECURITY.md` inside the plugin for the full
technical contract and data-handling notes.

#### Key features

 * Guided onboarding: connect your account, choose which post type holds your artworks,
   map fields, preview readiness, register in bulk
 * Works with Posts, Pages, any custom post type, and WooCommerce Products
 * Field mapping from post title/content/excerpt, featured image, custom fields,
   ACF fields, taxonomies, and WooCommerce product data
 * Automatic background sync on save, debounced and retried with backoff — a Collect24
   outage never blocks saving a post
 * Idempotent registration: re-syncing or double-registering the same post never
   creates a duplicate Collect24 record
 * A per-post sync status panel on the edit screen, plus a site-wide Artworks dashboard
   and sync log
 * `[collect24_art_id]` shortcode and a `collect24_get_art_id()` template function
   for themes
 * A built-in Mock mode that simulates the entire registration flow with no account
   or network access needed, for evaluating the plugin risk-free
 * Extensive developer filters/actions for custom field resolvers and payload shaping

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**, or extract it to`
    wp-content/plugins/collect24-art-id/`.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Collect24  Onboarding** and follow the four steps: Connect, Choose source,
    Map fields, Preview & Register.

Activation only creates a small sync-log table and a handful of default options —
it never modifies existing content, and normal deactivation never removes data.

## FAQ

### Does this replace my WordPress content?

No. WordPress remains the source of truth for your artwork content. Collect24 only
stores the registry record and the fields you choose to map.

### What happens if I delete or unpublish an artwork in WordPress?

The plugin reports a status change to Collect24 (unpublished/removed) — it never
deletes the Collect24 record or its C24 Art ID. The registry entry is designed to
persist independently of the source website.

### Does this plugin work without a Collect24 account?

Yes, in **Mock mode** (the default), so you can try the full onboarding and registration
flow before connecting a real account. Registering real artworks requires a Collect24
API token — you can request one from inside the onboarding wizard.

### Does this send my WordPress users, customers, or orders to Collect24?

No. Only artwork fields you explicitly map, plus minimal technical source information(
site URL, post ID, permalink), are ever sent.
