## Description

**Onu Exchange Rates and Converter for BNR** brings the official daily exchange 
rates published by the National Bank of Romania (BNR) directly to your WordPress
site. It supports automatic scheduled sync (WP Cron), historical rate lookups, interactive
currency conversion forms, classic widgets, a native Gutenberg block, and an Elementor
widget.

This plugin performs external HTTP requests to the official BNR XML feed once a 
day to download current exchange rates. No personal data is sent or collected.

#### Features

 * Automatic daily fetch of BNR exchange rates (WordPress Cron)
 * Complete historical exchange rate entries saved in a custom database table
 * Interactive currency converter calculator widget (RON is the pivot currency)
 * `[onuexra_curs]` shortcode for displaying selected rates
 * `[onuexra_convertor]` shortcode for rendering the conversion calculator
 * Classic sidebar and footer widgets
 * Native Gutenberg block with live preview in the editor
 * Elementor page builder widget integration (loaded conditionally)
 * Daily rate trend variations (increases/decreases marked by color-coded badges)

#### Gutenberg Block Source Code

This plugin contains compiled production Javascript assets inside the `build/` directory
for Gutenberg blocks. The original, uncompiled, and fully human-readable source 
code is bundled inside the plugin package in the `blocks/curs-valutar/src/` and `
blocks/convertor-valutar/src/` directories.
 To build or modify the block assets
yourself, you can run: 1. Install dependencies: `npm install` 2. Build the assets:`
npm run build`

#### External Services

This plugin connects to the BNR (National Bank of Romania) XML feed to obtain official
daily exchange rates. The data is retrieved once per day via HTTP request to:
 –`
https://www.bnr.ro/nbrfxrates.xml` (daily rates) – `https://bnr.ro/files/xml/years/
nbrfxrates%d.xml` (historical annual rates)

No personal data, user information, or site data is transmitted to this external
service. Only the exchange rate XML files are downloaded.

This service is provided by Banca Națională a României (BNR):

## FAQ

### Where does the data come from?

Directly from the official BNR XML feed (bnr.ro), without intermediaries.

### How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, automatically, at your configured settings hour (defaults to 13:15, 
Romanian time, which is when BNR publishes the rates).

### Does it work without Elementor?

Yes. The Elementor widget is loaded only if the Elementor plugin is active. Shortcodes,
Gutenberg blocks, and classic widgets work independently.
