## Description

SocialCrew Widgets loads the official SocialCrew widget runtime from `widgets-api.
socialcrew.io` when a page contains a widget shortcode or the SocialCrew block.

 * Shortcode `[socialcrew_widget]` with catalog parameters (type, team, league) 
   or a direct `space` id.
 * Shortcode `[socialcrew_widget_saved]` for presets you save under **Settings  
   SocialCrew Widgets**.
 * Gutenberg block **SocialCrew Widget** to pick a saved preset.
 * Settings screen with a shortcode builder, preview in a new window, and saved 
   widget management.

The plugin ships a compressed local catalog (JSON, gzip+base64) so allowed type/
team/league combinations resolve to a `space` id without an extra API call for the
catalog.

### External services

This plugin relies on SocialCrew’s hosted widget loader to render widgets in the
visitor’s browser.

**What the service is:** The endpoint `https://widgets-api.socialcrew.io/load` serves
the JavaScript module that powers the widget UI (tables, fixtures, polls, etc.) 
when your site outputs the plugin shortcode or block.

**What data is sent and when:** On each page view where a widget is embedded (or
when you use the admin preview), the visitor’s browser requests that URL. Typical
query parameters are `space` (the widget identifier), `adaptive=true`, and optional`
showHeader`. The plugin does not intentionally send WordPress user credentials or
private admin data to SocialCrew—only the public widget parameters needed to render
the embed.

### Privacy

When a visitor loads a page that embeds a SocialCrew widget, the browser requests
a JavaScript module from **widgets-api.socialcrew.io**. Query parameters may include
the widget `space` id, `adaptive=true`, and optional `showHeader`.

The plugin does not send your WordPress user data to SocialCrew by default. Site
administrators configure widgets in wp-admin; only public widget parameters are 
used in the front-end script URL.

For questions about data processed by SocialCrew’s servers, refer to the **External
services** section above, the privacy policy at [widgets.socialcrew.io/politica-de-privacidade](https://widgets.socialcrew.io/politica-de-privacidade),
and the terms at [widgets.socialcrew.io/termos-de-uso](https://widgets.socialcrew.io/termos-de-uso).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `socialcrew-widgets` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or upload the
    ZIP via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Go to **Settings  SocialCrew Widgets** to build shortcodes or save widgets.
 4. Place `[socialcrew_widget ...]` or `[socialcrew_widget_saved id="..."]` in a post
    or page, or insert the **SocialCrew Widget** block.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin work without an internet connection?

No. The widget script is loaded from `https://widgets-api.socialcrew.io/load` when
the shortcode or block output is present on the page.

### Where are saved widgets stored?

In the WordPress database, option `socialcrew_widgets_saved_presets`. They are removed
if you uninstall the plugin (see uninstall handler).

### Can I use a custom loader URL?

Not in this version; the loader URL is fixed to the SocialCrew production endpoint.
