dimendia

<p>An interactive advent calendar for WordPress, built from a polished design<br />
prototype (light, warm, modern).</p>
<ul>
<li>24 doors with three states: today (open), past/participated, locked.</li>
<li>Per-door entry flow: sponsor <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> prize <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> quiz <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> optional social <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> form <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> confirmation with a ticket number.</li>
<li>Quiz without right/wrong feedback — participants only pick an answer; only the admin sees the evaluation.</li>
<li>Content (sponsors, prizes, quiz questions, logos, prize images) is editable through the door editor.</li>
<li>Configurable: color theme (Berry/Fir/Amber/Custom colors), layout (Grid/Staggered), door style (Tile/Circle/Gift), quiz mode (Guided/Single page).</li>
<li>Custom colors: accent, background and text color freely selectable via color picker.</li>
<li>Statistics dashboard with key figures and a bar chart of entries per door.</li>
<li>Winner draw: random pick per door, optionally only among “all correct”, winner list with CSV export.</li>
<li>Email confirmation to participants (template with placeholders) and optional admin notification.</li>
<li>Prevents duplicate entries: one entry per email per door.</li>
<li>Entries are stored in a dedicated table; admin list with filter and CSV export.</li>
<li>Progress is remembered per browser via localStorage.</li>
<li>Gamification: progress bar, “streak” indicator and confetti (plus optional sound) when completing a door.</li>
<li>Countdown to the next door right in the calendar header.</li>
<li>Live preview in the settings: theme, colors, layout and texts are shown instantly as a mini calendar.</li>
<li>Gutenberg block “Adventura” with live preview and display options in the sidebar (in addition to the shortcode).</li>
<li>Newsletter integration (Mailchimp, Brevo, CleverReach) with opt-in in the form and double opt-in.</li>
<li>Reminder emails via opt-in: daily WP-Cron send with one-click unsubscribe.</li>
<li>Invite & refer: personal invitation link per participant, referral tracking and top referrers in the dashboard.</li>
<li>Spam/cheat protection: honeypot, time trap and IP rate limit.</li>
<li>GDPR tools: integration with WordPress data export and data erasure plus a suggested privacy policy text.</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly: fonts are served locally, no requests to Google.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Add the shortcode to a page:</p>
<pre><code>[advk_calendar]
</code></pre>
<p>Optional attributes override the settings per page:</p>
<pre><code>[advk_calendar theme="tanne" layout="scene" door_style="ornament" quiz_mode="single"]
</code></pre>
<p>For a preview outside December, a fixed day (1–24) can be set under<br />
<em>Adventura <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> “Force today’s door”</em>.</p>
<h3>Notes for Developers</h3>
<p>When an entry is saved, the action <code>advk_entry_created</code> is fired<br />
(parameters: entry id, day, email, ticket number, extra) — suitable for<br />
sending a confirmation email or handing data to a CRM, for example. The fifth<br />
parameter <code>extra</code> contains first name, last name, the opt-in flags for<br />
newsletter and reminder, and the referral code.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not connect to any external service by default. No data leaves<br />
your site unless you explicitly enable and configure the optional newsletter<br />
integration under <em>Adventura <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Newsletter</em>.</p>
<p>When — and only when — you enable the newsletter integration, choose a provider<br />
and enter your own API key, and a participant actively ticks the optional<br />
newsletter opt-in checkbox, the plugin sends that participant’s data to the<br />
provider you selected so they can be added to your mailing list. The data sent<br />
is: the participant’s email address and their first and last name. It is sent<br />
once, at the moment the entry is submitted with the opt-in checked. No data is<br />
sent for participants who do not opt in, and nothing is sent if the integration<br />
is disabled or no API key is set.</p>
<p>You can choose one of the following providers. Each is a third-party service<br />
with its own terms and privacy policy; please review them before enabling:</p>
