Alternative Site Settings

During plugin activation, the cf-style.css and cf-script.js files are copied to the “css” and “js” directories located in the “assets” directory of the active theme, respectively. The cf-style.css file do not overwrite existing file - this is done so that you can set individual styles for forms, unique to each theme. When activating a new theme, the plugin will also have to be activated again. The display of buttons and forms is carried out either using a shortcode, or by directly registering the buttons in the header file of the theme itself. Shortcodes:

• [ass_cform_button cfid=1 title="Request a call back"] - Button shortcode
• [ass_cform cfid=1] - Form shortcode

When the plugin is activated, a page type record is created in the posts table with the "reviews" slug and the shortcode [reviews_page] added to the post body. Also, when activating the plugin, just like in the case of contact forms, the reviews-style.tss and reviews-form.js files are copied to the “css” and “js” directories located in the “assets” directory of the active theme, respectively. Existing files are also not are overwritten, so you can also set your own review styles unique to each theme. When activating a new theme, the plugin will also have to be activated again.

• To insert a button into the text, the following shortcode is provided: [ass_cookie_consent]
• To change the text on the button, the shortcode has a title parameter: [ass_cookie_consent title='New text']

The footer section allows you to create a ready-made website footer with essential content, such as:

• Company logo,
• Footer menu,
• Copyright,
• Contact form button,
• Block with contact information and map.

You can insert a section into a classic theme using the altss_the_footer_section() function: To insert a footer section into a block theme, you can use the shortcode [ass_footer_section]; Do not forget to check on the checkbox on the first settings tab!

Yes, the plugin uses its own hooks. This version has two:

• altss_map_settings_section_show
• altss_admin_after_map_settings_section Both hooks are used in the admin panel to control the display of settings in the "Data for displaying the map" section in case an additional map plugin needs to be written. For example, a plugin for connecting the Yandex Maps widget is already available on our GitHub.

In order to start building their project, the developer simply needs to rename the plugin directory, the main plugin file and the plugin prefix (altss_). Attention! This must be done before activating the plugin. Also, additional tips and recipes for embedding code into the theme, changing functionality, etc. will be published on the page: https://github.com/tmutstudio/alternative-site-settings/blob/master/recipes_and_tips.md
