EzBizi

Your phone number is probably written into your website in a dozen places — the header, the footer, three service pages, a contact form, an old landing page somebody forgot. Changing it means finding all twelve. This plugin lets EzBizi hold the answer instead. You set your details once in EzBizi, put a shortcode where the value belongs, and the page shows whatever EzBizi currently says. Each website gets its own answers. A subdomain is a separate site in EzBizi with its own token, so nj.example.com can publish a different phone number from example.com without a second theme, a second plugin, or a second copy of your pages. What you can publish Every field you fill in inside EzBizi becomes a shortcode here:

• [ezbizi_company_name]
• [ezbizi_phone]
• [ezbizi_email]
• [ezbizi_address]
• [ezbizi_hours]
• [ezbizi_license]
• [ezbizi_service_area]
• [ezbizi_booking_url]

There is also a general form, [ezbizi key="phone"], which accepts a fallback for a value you have not filled in yet: [ezbizi key="phone" default="Call us"]. The list is not hardcoded. It comes from your EzBizi account, so a field added there starts working here without updating this plugin. Your site keeps working when ours does not The values are cached, and the last successful read is kept indefinitely. If EzBizi is slow or unreachable, your pages carry on showing the details they last received rather than going blank. Refreshing happens in the background, so a visitor never waits on a request to us. You need an EzBizi account This plugin is a client for the EzBizi platform and does nothing on its own. You will need an account, and a website registered under Web Management, to get the token it asks for.

1.2.0

• Live chat and a contact form for your website. Both are off until you turn them on in EzBizi, and enquiries arrive there beside your other leads, where you can reply.
• Everything about how they look and what the form asks — colours, wording, the questions — is set in EzBizi under Web Management › Widgets, so [ezbizi_chat] and [ezbizi_form] take no settings of their own and one change reaches every site you run.
• "External Services" above now describes what a visitor's browser sends when they use one of these widgets. Read it before switching them on.

1.1.0

• EzBizi can now publish and edit content on this site. On connecting, the plugin creates a restricted "ezbizi-service" user and hands EzBizi an application password for it. See "External Services" above for exactly what it may do and every way to revoke it.
• Deactivating the plugin, or changing your site token, now revokes that application password.

1.0.2

• The plugin now says when it is installed but not yet connected, instead of sitting silent with every shortcode empty.
• Added a Settings link on the plugin's own row, which is where people look for it.

1.0.1

• Maintenance release. No changes to the plugin itself — published to confirm the update path works before a real fix has to travel it.

1.0.0

• First release. Shortcodes for the business details held in EzBizi, with per-site and per-page values, background refreshing, and last-known-good values retained when the API cannot be reached.
