## Description

VP Iframe Assistant adds a floating button to your website. When clicked, it opens
a chat-style side panel (full screen on mobile) that loads any conversational assistant
embedded through an iframe.

It is provider-agnostic: you just paste the iframe URL of the assistant you want
to embed. It works with any service that offers an embeddable iframe — for example,
a Q-soft (e-salus) appointment assistant, a support chatbot, a booking widget, an
AI assistant, etc.

The plugin itself does not connect to or send any data to external servers. The 
iframe is loaded directly in the visitor’s browser, against the URL configured by
the site administrator.

Transparency: this plugin was developed with AI assistance (Claude) and was reviewed
and audited manually by the Visual Publinet team, including a security and privacy
review. It has no external dependencies and no API keys.

#### Features

 * Fixed floating button, configurable (text, icon, position, colors).
 * Side panel viewer, full screen on mobile.
 * Lazy loading of the iframe (does not affect page speed).
 * Full settings panel with a live preview of the button and viewer.
 * Optional, configurable privacy notice in the viewer footer.
 * Open the assistant from any other element via the `vpifa-open` CSS class or a
   JavaScript API.
 * Open the assistant from selected WordPress menu items, chosen right from the 
   settings.
 * Minimal iframe permissions and a strict referrer policy by default.
 * Accessible (ARIA roles, focus management, close with the Esc key).
 * Available in English and Spanish (translation-ready, with a bundled es_ES translation).

### Default configuration

 * Iframe URL: empty (must be set under Settings  VP Iframe Assistant). The button
   is not shown until a URL is provided.
 * Button text: “Open assistant” (“Abrir asistente” in Spanish).

### Opening the assistant from other buttons

In addition to the floating button, you can open the assistant from any element 
on the website by adding the CSS class `vpifa-open` (or the `data-vpifa-open` attribute):

 * HTML: `<a href="#" class="vpifa-open">Open assistant</a>`
 * Menus (Appearance > Menus): enable “CSS Classes” in Screen Options and type `
   vpifa-open`.
 * Gutenberg / Elementor buttons: “Additional CSS classes” field > `vpifa-open`.

You can also pick existing menu items directly from the plugin settings (“Open from
a menu item”): tick the menu entries that should open the assistant and the plugin
adds the trigger for you, no CSS class needed.

It can also be opened with JavaScript: `window.vpifaCita.open()` (and `.close()`/`.
toggle()`).

### For developers

Filter available to hide the widget on specific templates:

    ```
    add_filter( 'vpifa_should_render', '__return_false' );
    ```

## FAQ

### Which services can I embed?

Any service that provides an embeddable iframe URL. The plugin is not tied to a 
specific provider; you choose the URL.

No. The plugin does not contact any external server. Only the iframe you configure
is loaded in the visitor’s browser, against the provider you choose.
