2. TaxiWebBooker form example

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Go to **Settings > Taxiwebbooker** to configure the widget options.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the TaxiWebBooker platform to authenticate an account, retrieve available Web Bookers, render booking widgets, and provide support on the plugin settings page.

The plugin connects to https://portal.taxiwebbooker.com for OAuth login when an administrator chooses to connect a TaxiWebBooker account.

The plugin connects to https://api.dispatchapi.io to exchange OAuth tokens, retrieve account details, retrieve available Web Bookers, and disconnect an account. The plugin sends the OAuth token or access token required for these account-management actions, plus a shared plugin secret used to identify authorized WordPress plugin requests.

The plugin dynamically loads JavaScript and CSS files from https://yourwebbooker.com/popup-widget/ and https://yourwebbooker.com/inline-webbooker/ when the matching widget type is enabled. These files are hosted externally to support dynamic updates, account-specific styling, layout updates, and user-specific configurations. They are essential to the plugin's service functionality. Without them, the booking interface cannot be rendered correctly.

The plugin loads the Intercom messenger from https://widget.intercom.io on the plugin settings page to provide support. When an account is connected, the plugin may pass the connected user's email address, user ID, and Intercom identity hash to Intercom so support conversations can be linked to the account.

=== What data is sent? ===
For account connection, the plugin sends authentication tokens needed to connect or disconnect the TaxiWebBooker account. For booking widgets, no personal booking data is sent unless a visitor interacts with the widget and submits a form. For support, connected account identity details may be sent to Intercom as described above.

=== Why is this needed? ===
The service is required to provide a live booking interface tied to the user's Taxiwebbooker account. The external script supports dynamic updates and configuration management on the provider’s platform.

== Source Code ==

The plugin includes its WordPress admin and frontend helper CSS/JavaScript in the `includes/assets/` directory. The booking interface itself is rendered and styled by the external TaxiWebBooker JavaScript and CSS files described above.

The original, human-readable plugin source files are included in the plugin folder.
