Worcade is a communication platform for service professionals. It allows customers and suppliers to collaborate more easily, joyfully and efficiently.
Worcade provides a contact form widget you can add to your web site so people can start a conversation with you. This plugin makes it easy to add the contact form to your WordPress web site, using a shortcode.
The contact form requires visitors to enter a message to start the conversation. The form also requires an email address so you can get back to your visitor. Entering a name is optional.
If your visitors are already using Worcade and logged in, they're recognised and don't have to enter their email address. If the email address of your visitor is recognised by Worcade but the user is not logged in, they can login immediately.
All participants to the conversation receive a link to the Worcade conversation via email. The link opens a web page where they can easily exchange information.

- Upload the folder worcade to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- Add [worcade] to the page, post or widget that should show your contact form.
By default, the widget just prints "Please provide an id for a targetuser OR targetgroup.". This means the plugin is working!
Next, you need to add at least one parameter to the shortcode to tell Worcade who should receive the message.
- To receive the message as a Worcade group, use [worcade targetgroup="worcade-group-id"]
- To receive the message as a Worcade user, use [worcade targetuser="worcade-user-id"]
You can create the shortcode, including Worcade id, via Worcade profile settings.
You can then customise the widget even further by adding more parameters. The following are supported:
- width (widget width, defaults to "500px")
- height (widget height defaults to "575px")
- language (widget language, defaults to "en")
- subject (conversation subject in Worcade, defaults to "Worcade widget conversation")

- Default widget height to 575px to accommodate long usernames.

Tip: You can easily create a WordPress shortcode from your Worcade profile settings.
