## Description

Webtech Beach Reservation Manager Lite gives beach club operators a complete booking
system built natively on WordPress.

**Core features:**

 * **Spot management** — define sectors, rows and spot types (umbrella, gazebo, 
   cabin, bungalow); activate or deactivate individual spots at any time.
 * **Availability management** — visual calendar showing free/occupied days per 
   spot; day-by-day detail with occupancy counters.
 * **Online booking form** — frontend shortcodes let visitors search available spots,
   choose dates, fill in their details and confirm a reservation. Double-booking
   protection is enforced at the database level with unique constraints.
 * **Manual bookings** — create reservations directly from the admin panel for phone
   or walk-in customers; spot search and automatic rate lookup included.
 * **Basic rates** — configure seasonal rates (daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly)
   per spot type; daily overrides for peak dates.
 * **Customer management** — automatic customer record creation on booking; searchable
   customer list with booking history.
 * **Payment method settings** — choose between pay on arrival (in person) and bank
   transfer (bonifico), or enable both. Bank transfer details (IBAN, account holder,
   reference prefix) appear automatically in the confirmation email. If no method
   is selected, a generic payment message is shown.
 * **Email notifications** — confirmation email to the customer (with payment instructions)
   and notification email to the administrator on every new booking; configurable
   from Settings.
 * **Operations map** — daily visual overview of occupied and free spots using the
   beach plan; one-click check-in and check-out.
 * **Admin dashboard** — quick counters, occupancy summary and monthly revenue chart,
   plus contextual notifications for new online bookings received while operators
   work in the plugin dashboard.
 * **Basic reports** — booking counts by status, by month, by year; recent bookings
   list.
 * **Beach plan** — drag-and-drop grid editor to draw the physical layout of the
   beach; used by the operations map and the frontend map view.
 * **Cancellation policy** — configurable free-cancellation window with optional
   penalty (first day or full stay); customers can cancel online within the allowed
   period.
 * **Privacy tools** — integrates with WordPress personal data export and erasure
   tools and provides configurable data-retention controls.
 * **Double-booking protection** — atomic database transactions and a dedicated 
   occupancy index prevent the same spot from being booked twice for the same dates.
 * **Uninstall** — optional data cleanup on plugin removal; configurable from Settings.

**Extensible architecture:**

The plugin exposes action and filter hooks so a future Pro add-on can extend it 
without modifying core files. Key hooks: `wbbrm_booking_init`, `wbbrm_booking_admin_menu`,`
wbbrm_booking_ajax_map`, `wbbrm_booking_frontend_assets`, `wbbrm_booking_admin_assets`,`
wbbrm_force_load_assets`.

**Shortcodes:**

 * `[wbbrm_search]` — date-picker and availability search.
 * `[wbbrm_booking]` — full booking form (auto-loaded on the page created at activation).
 * `[wbbrm_conferma]` — booking confirmation page with payment instructions.
 * `[wbbrm_mie_prenotazioni]` — customer booking lookup and online cancellation.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `webtech-beach-reservation-manager` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory, or install via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin from the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. On activation, the plugin automatically creates three frontend pages: Booking, 
    Confirmation and My Reservations.
 4. Go to **Beach  Settings** to enter your venue name, email address and phone number.
 5. Under **Settings  Payment methods**, choose how customers should pay (on arrival,
    bank transfer, or both). If bank transfer is selected, enter your IBAN and account
    holder name.
 6. Add your spots under **Beach  Spots**.
 7. Configure at least one seasonal rate under **Beach  Rates**.
 8. The booking engine is now live. Link customers to the Booking page.

## FAQ

### Does the plugin prevent double bookings?

Yes. Each spot-day combination is stored in a dedicated `wbbrm_occupazioni` table
with a unique index. Bookings are created inside database transactions, so two simultaneous
requests for the same spot and dates cannot both succeed.

### Can I create bookings manually from the admin?

Yes. Use **Beach  Bookings  New booking** to create a reservation for any available
spot. The form searches availability and calculates the rate automatically.

### Does the plugin send email confirmations?

Yes. A confirmation email is sent to the customer and a notification to the administrator
address configured in Settings. The customer email includes payment instructions
based on the methods you have configured.

### What payment methods are supported?

The Lite version supports two offline payment methods: pay on arrival (in person)
and bank transfer. You can enable one or both from Settings  Payment methods. Online
card payments are not included in the Lite version.

### Is the plugin compatible with page builders?

Shortcodes work with the WordPress block editor, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery and Beaver
Builder. If your builder stores content in a custom format not automatically detected,
use the `wbbrm_force_load_assets` filter to force-load frontend assets.

### What data is stored and for how long?

The plugin stores booking records, customer records, security logs and an audit 
trail. Retention periods are configurable in Settings. On uninstall, all plugin 
data and tables can be removed automatically (configurable).

### Does the plugin contact any external service?

No. The Lite version does not make any external HTTP requests and does not load 
any remote resources. All assets are served locally.

### What privacy tools does the plugin provide?

The plugin integrates with the WordPress personal data export (Tools  Export Personal
Data) and erasure (Tools  Erase Personal Data) tools. It also provides configurable
retention controls, rate limiting and audit logging. Site owners remain responsible
for evaluating and meeting the privacy and legal requirements that apply to their
site and organization.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.43

 * Fixed a fatal error in the Availability grid caused by malformed translated `
   sprintf()` placeholders.
 * Fixed malformed translated placeholders in Beach Plan labels.

#### 1.0.42

 * Reviewer cleanup: replaced file-wide PHPCS suppressions in templates with prefixed
   local variables and narrow, documented exceptions only where required.
 * Hardened selected live database queries by preparing custom-table identifiers
   with `%i`, without changing booking, pricing or notification behavior.

#### 1.0.41

 * Added contextual, per-user notifications for new online bookings on the plugin
   dashboard, with lightweight polling only while that dashboard is visible.
 * Notifications use nonce and capability checks, can be marked as read, and do 
   not create site-wide WordPress admin notices.

#### 1.0.40

 * Booking customer identity is now read from the immutable per-booking customer
   snapshot, so bookings sharing the same contact email can retain different guest
   names.
 * Creating a booking with an existing email no longer rewrites the master customer
   name; historical bookings and transactional views remain stable.

#### 1.0.39

 * Fixed the manual-booking Beach map view: corrected JavaScript fallback precedence
   that discarded the rendered map HTML after a successful availability search.
 * Added a safe empty-map diagnostic and clearer responsive List/Beach map controls
   without changing booking or availability rules.

#### 1.0.38

 * Fixed booking-state persistence and repaired affected pending bookings created
   by earlier builds.
 * Fixed payment accounting so the required deposit is not treated as already paid,
   and balances are derived from the amount actually collected.
 * Fixed rescheduling warnings and synchronized payment state after price changes.
 * Fixed admin assets on the Core diagnostics screen.

#### 1.0.37

 * Fixed admin asset routing so the responsive layout and shared JavaScript load
   on every plugin submenu screen.
 * Fixed WordPress 6.9.1+ notices caused by view scripts depending on an unregistered
   admin script.

#### 1.0.36

 * Security: enforced the record-specific capability before deleting bookings, customers,
   rates or beach spots.
 * Security: completed context-aware attribute escaping across booking, search and
   availability views.

#### 1.0.35

 * Security: hardened AJAX nonce verification and capability checks across all public
   and administrative handlers.
 * Security: fixed public request rate limiting so an active block cannot be bypassed
   when the shorter request window expires.
 * Security: added context-aware escaping for rendered beach-map HTML and reviewed
   dynamic output across plugin views.

#### 1.0.34

 * Compatibility: replaced PHP 8.2-only standalone `true` return types with `bool`
   in the AJAX API gateway, preserving PHP 8.0/8.1 compatibility.
 * Audit: scanned the plugin for syntax requiring PHP newer than 8.0; no additional
   incompatible syntax was found.
