## Description

tlloancy Review QR is a small Gutenberg block (and a shortcode) for collecting feedback.
It is not a reviews _display_ plugin: it does not pull stars or comments from Google.
It builds a scannable QR that sends people to **whatever review page you choose**.

**Not the same as Rich Plugins.** [Rich Showcase for Google Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-google-reviews/)
shows existing Google reviews. This plugin only finds a listing (optional autocomplete,
same kind of magnifying-glass search) and turns the write-a-review link — or any
other URL — into a QR code.

**What it does**

 * Insert the **tlloancy Review QR** block, or save QR codes from **Settings  tlloancy
   Review QR**.
 * Search a listing (Place ID and Maps URLs work too). Choosing a result on the 
   settings page adds a small card with its shortcode.
 * Or paste **any** review link: Facebook, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, a form on your
   own site, a booking page — if it is an `http(s)` URL, it works.
 * A QR code is generated locally (no third-party QR service).
 * The heading defaults to “Let us know what you think of us!” and is editable on
   every block.
 * Layout follows the theme: inherited font and text color, fluid width, left / 
   center / right / wide alignment.

No Google API key. Type a business name, paste a Place ID (`ChIJ…`), a Maps URL,
or any review link.

Step-by-step guides: `docs/USER-GUIDE.md` (English) and `docs/MODE-DEMPLOI.md` (
French).

### External services

When an editor types a business name (not a Place ID or URL), the plugin queries
Photon (Komoot) then Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) to list matching places. That happens
only in wp-admin / the block editor. The public site never calls those services.
The QR then points at a Google Maps or write-a-review URL built from what you picked.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   tlloancy Review QR Heading plus a QR code for any review link. Search Google
   listings like a place finder, or paste any URL.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `tlloancy-review-qr` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate **tlloancy Review QR**.
 3. In a page or post, add the **tlloancy Review QR** block. Search a name or paste
    a Place ID / Maps URL. Edit the heading if you want.

## FAQ

### Is this a clone of Rich Plugins / Widget Google Reviews?

No. That plugin displays reviews. This one only creates a heading + QR that opens
a review (or any) URL.

### Do I need a Google API key?

No. A review link is just a URL. Search uses public Nominatim (OpenStreetMap). A
Place ID or Maps URL is enough for the official Google write-a-review link.

### Can the QR point at something that is not Google?

Yes. Paste any `https` link in the block sidebar or in the search field. The QR 
encodes that URL as-is.

### How do I change the sentence above the QR?

Click it in the editor. The default comes from **Settings  tlloancy Review QR** (
English source string: “Let us know what you think of us!”). Once community translations
are available on translate.wordpress.org, a localized site uses that translation
until you override it.

### Is there a shortcode?

Saved cards use `[tlloancy_review_qr id="ab12cd34"]`. You can also write a URL:

    ```
    [tlloancy_review_qr url="https://example.com/review" heading="Let us know what you think of us!"]
    ```

You can also pass `place_id`, `name`, `size`, and `align`.

### Can I print the QR?

Yes. On **Settings  tlloancy Review QR**, each saved card has **Download PNG** (
print at home or send to a printer) and **Download SVG** (vector, for a print shop).

### What does Save Changes save?

Only the default heading, QR size, and new-tab option. Choosing a search result 
saves the QR to the list. Delete on a card removes that saved QR.

### Where is the QR generated?

On your WordPress server, as SVG. Nothing is sent to a QR SaaS.
