## Opis

A message that matters gets lost in a sidebar widget or ignored as just another 
popup. **Heralda puts it where visitors actually look** – a sticky bar at the top
or bottom of your site, gone the moment it’s no longer useful.

**[Try the live demo](https://founder.cognitolab.net/heralda-demo/index.html)** —
a real WordPress site with a sample bar already published, no install needed.

#### What you can announce

 * **Announcements** — site-wide notices, maintenance windows, or news.
 * **Promotions** — time-limited offers with a built-in countdown timer.
 * **One bar at a time** — if several bars are eligible to show, Heralda shows the
   most recently published one, so your site never looks cluttered with competing
   banners.

#### Looks good in one click

 * **5 design presets** (Minimal, Bold, Corporate, Playful, Promo) that set a matching
   style in one click. Everything stays editable afterwards.
 * **16 colour presets**, every one readable (WCAG AA contrast), or pick your own
   with the custom colour pickers.
 * **3 bar styles**: Full-width, Floating (inset with shadow), or Pill (fully rounded),
   with an optional border: thin, thick, dashed, or an accent line on the inner 
   edge.
 * **CTA button styles** (Outline, Solid, Pill) and position (inline next to the
   text, right edge of the bar, or below the text).
 * **7 built-in icons** with an optional pulse, wiggle or bounce that plays a few
   times and stops, entrance animation (slide-in or fade-in), and left/centre/right
   text alignment.
 * **Typography**: use your theme’s font or pick sans-serif, serif, monospace or
   bold condensed, plus normal, bold, uppercase or italic text styles.

#### Built to get out of the way

 * **Dismissible.** Visitors close it once, and it stays hidden for as many days
   as you choose, or until they close their browser.
 * **Scheduling.** Set a start and end date so a bar appears and disappears automatically—
   no need to remember to take it down.
 * **Page targeting.** Show a bar site-wide or only on the pages you pick.
 * **Fast.** CSS/JS load only on pages where a bar will actually show, and the frontend
   script has no jQuery dependency.
 * **No external services and no tracking.** Nothing leaves your site.

#### Who it’s for

 * **Site owners** running a sale, a launch, or a maintenance notice who want it
   seen without resorting to a popup.
 * **Agencies** who need a quick, on-brand promo bar for a client site without installing
   a heavier marketing plugin.
 * **Content teams** running scheduled campaigns who don’t want to remember to manually
   take a bar down afterward.

#### Want more?

Need more than one bar at a time, extra bar types (social share, WooCommerce free-
shipping progress), advanced targeting (by user role or device), a repeating schedule,
analytics, or A/B testing? Those are available in **[Heralda Pro](https://cognitolab.net/products/heralda)**—
a separate, optional add-on. Everything listed above is fully functional in the 
free version with no restrictions or nag screens.

### External services

This plugin does not connect to any external service. No data leaves your site. 
All bar content, settings, and dismiss state are stored either in your own WordPress
database (bar content and settings) or in the visitor’s own browser `localStorage`(
dismiss state) – nothing is sent to Heralda, CognitoLab, or any third party.

## Instalacija

 1. Upload the `heralda` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it directly from
    the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Go to **Heralda Bars  Add New** to create your first bar.
 4. Set its type, position, colors, schedule, and target pages, then publish it.

## Pitanja i odgovori

### Can I show more than one bar at the same time?

The free version always shows a single bar – if more than one published bar matches
the current page and schedule, the most recently published one is shown. Showing
multiple bars at once with a priority queue is a Heralda Pro feature.

### Does this plugin slow down my site?

No. The bar’s CSS and JavaScript are only enqueued on pages where an active bar 
will actually render, and the frontend script does not depend on jQuery.

### Where is the dismissed state stored?

In the visitor’s browser, via `localStorage`. Nothing is stored on the server or
sent anywhere.

### Can I place a bar manually inside a page instead of at the top/bottom of the site?

Yes, use the `[heralda_bar id="123"]` shortcode with the ID of the bar you want 
to embed.

### Is Heralda accessible?

Accessibility is built into the free plugin, not sold as an extra:

 * Screen readers announce the bar as a labelled “Announcement” region, so it can
   be found from the landmarks list wherever it sits on screen.
 * The close button works with the keyboard (Tab, then Enter or Space), has a visible
   focus outline in the bar’s own text color, and is at least 24 by 24 pixels.
 * The countdown timer is not read out every second.
 * Visitors who turn on reduced motion in their system settings get no slide, fade,
   or icon animations.
 * All 16 color presets meet WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1) for normal text.

Your own custom colors and the text you write are up to you, so check their contrast
too.

## Dnevnik promjena

#### 1.1.1

 * Accessibility: a top or bottom bar is now a labelled “Announcement” region for
   screen readers, and changes to its content are announced politely.
 * Accessibility: the countdown timer is no longer read out by screen readers every
   second.
 * Accessibility: the close button shows a clear focus outline when reached with
   the keyboard, is at least 24 by 24 pixels, and is labelled “Dismiss announcement”.
 * Accessibility: visitors who turn on reduced motion no longer see the bar slide
   or fade in.
 * For developers: new `hrld_bar_region_label` filter for the region’s accessible
   name.

#### 1.1.0

 * 6 new color presets: Midnight, Teal, Rose, Indigo, Sand, and Forest (16 total).
 * Emerald, Terracotta, and Sage are slightly darker so white text on them meets
   WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1). Bars using these presets will look a touch deeper after
   updating.
 * New “Border” option: Thin, Thick, Dashed, or an accent line on the edge facing
   the page. Always drawn in the bar’s text color.
 * New “Icon animation” option: Pulse, Wiggle, or Bounce. Plays three times when
   the bar appears, then stops, and is skipped for visitors who turn on reduced 
   motion.
 * Setting “Stay hidden for” to 0 days now keeps a dismissed bar hidden until the
   visitor closes their browser. Before, it came back on the very next page.
 * For developers: new `hrld_frontend_bar_data` filter, `window.hldBarGates` client-
   side visibility gates, and a `hld:barshown` event.

#### 1.0.2

 * New “Pill” bar style (fully rounded, floating) alongside Full-width and Floating.
 * 2 new color presets: Terracotta and Sage (10 total).
 * New “Info” icon (7 built-in icons total).
 * New “Promo” design preset (Sage colors, Pill shape, pill CTA) – 5 one-click design
   presets now available.
 * Refreshed the Minimal, Bold, Corporate, and Playful design presets: Minimal now
   uses the Dark color preset and Sans-serif font; Bold, Corporate, and Playful 
   now align left instead of center; Playful now uses the Terracotta color preset
   and Pill bar style.
 * New “Right” text alignment, alongside Center and Left.
 * New “CTA position” field: Inline next to the text (default), Right edge of the
   bar, or Below the text.
 * The message and CTA button now always sit on the same row when they fit, regardless
   of whether an icon is set – previously that only happened with an icon selected,
   so most bars without one showed the button stranded on its own line underneath.
 * Fixed the Promo countdown rendering nested inside the message text, which forced
   it (and the CTA button next to it) onto its own line even when there was room
   to share the first one.
 * The dismiss (“x”) button now always sits in the top-right corner instead of vertically
   centered, so it stays put on bars with wrapped or multi-line content instead 
   of drifting toward the middle.
 * Fixed the “Solid” CTA button rendering unreadable (same color as its own background)
   in the bar editor’s live preview for every color preset – a preview-only bug,
   the frontend was never affected.

#### 1.0.1

 * Renumbered ahead of the first public release – nothing above 1.0.0 was ever published,
   so this replaces what was internally 1.1.0 through 1.4.1 with a single real-world
   version.
 * 8 ready-made color presets for bars, alongside the custom color pickers.
 * “Floating” bar style (inset margins, rounded corners, shadow) as an alternative
   to full-width.
 * CTA button styles: Outline, Solid, and Pill.
 * Optional icon before the bar text (6 built-in icons), entrance animation (slide-
   in or fade-in), and left/center text alignment.
 * Font choice (Default/theme, Sans-serif, Serif, Monospace, Bold condensed) and
   text style presets (Normal, Bold, Uppercase, Italic) for the bar’s message.
 * “Design preset” one-click buttons (Minimal, Bold, Corporate, Playful) that fill
   in a matching combination of the above in one click – every field stays editable
   afterward.
 * “Start from a template” buttons and a live preview on the bar editor screen.
 * Correct spacing between a bar’s content elements (heading, paragraph, CTA, and
   Pro-added content like Social Share links), and correct stacking when Heralda
   Pro shows multiple bars at once – including bars whose height changes after load,
   like a Promo countdown filling in its text.
 * Pasted images in a bar’s content are capped to a small badge/logo size; pasted
   headings, blockquotes, and lists get bar-appropriate sizing instead of full browser-
   default styling.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
