## Descripción

IngotForge Cards for ACF displays posts and ACF data as responsive cards. Version
1.6.5 retains `[ingotforge_cards]`, existing shortcode defaults, and stored data.

Main features:

 * Grid, list, and accessible Swiper slider layouts.
 * AJAX pagination for grid and list layouts.
 * ACF text, textarea, date, taxonomy, post object, relationship, file, and common
   scalar return types.
 * Post type, taxonomy, meta, multiple-filter, and `{today}` date filtering.
 * The Events Calendar date, cost, venue, upcoming-event, and past-event support.
 * Visibility controls for images, titles, excerpts, ACF fields, taxonomy fields,
   dates, and document buttons.
 * Instance-container, card, image, typography, spacing, border, shadow, hover, 
   and responsive-height controls.
 * Image-only cards and optional removal of image/title links.
 * Instance-scoped styles and slider controls for pages containing multiple shortcodes.
 * Conditional slider assets: Swiper loads only when a slider instance is rendered.
 * Keyboard, focus, status, reduced-motion, and error-handling improvements.
 * No analytics, tracking, telemetry, or external runtime asset requests.

The complete option reference and examples are available after activation under **
Settings > IngotForge Cards Manual** and in `SHORTCODE-REFERENCE.md` inside the 
plugin package.

### Examples

#### Responsive programme grid

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="programme" fields="division,start_date" columns="3" per_page="9"]
    ```

#### Filtered document list

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="document" layout="list" fields="description,pdf_documents_url,document_type" meta_filters="division:39175|document_type:32:LIKE" tax_filters="category:finance" per_page="6"]
    ```

#### Upcoming event cards

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="tribe_events" fields="event_start_date,event_venue" event_display="upcoming" per_page="6"]
    ```

#### Responsive modern cards

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="programme" fields="division" card_border_width="0" card_border_radius="18px" card_shadow="0 8px 28px rgba(15,23,42,.12)" card_hover_shadow="0 18px 44px rgba(15,23,42,.18)" card_height_desktop="440px" card_height_tablet="400px" card_height_mobile="auto"]
    ```

#### Accessible autoplay slider

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="testimonial" layout="slider" fields="client_name,quote" slides_per_view="3" slider_autoplay="true" slider_delay="5000" slider_pause_on_hover="true" slider_pause_on_focus="true"]<h3>Developer Integration</h3>
    ```

Optional extension points:

 * `ingotforge_acf_cards_shortcode_args` filters normalized shortcode arguments.
 * `ingotforge_acf_cards_query_args` filters final `WP_Query` arguments.
 * `ingotforge_acf_cards_card_html` filters each rendered card before the plugin’s
   final allowed-HTML pass.
 * `ingotforge_acf_cards_asset_requirements` filters styles detected before shortcode
   rendering.
 * `ingotforge:cards:updated` fires after successful AJAX pagination.
 * `ingotforge:cards:slider-ready` fires when a slider is initialized.
 * Trigger `ingotforge:cards:refresh` after dynamically inserting slider markup.
 * `window.IngotForgeCards.loadPage(container, page)` and `window.IngotForgeCards.
   initSliders(context)` are available for controlled integrations.

All approved `ingotforge` PHP identifiers, options, AJAX actions, handles, CSS prefixes,
and shortcode names are retained.

### Privacy

The plugin does not collect analytics, track users, create remote accounts, or send
site content or personal data to an external service. Its front-end JavaScript communicates
only with the site’s own WordPress AJAX endpoint when AJAX pagination is used.

### Third-Party Library

Swiper v11.1.14 is bundled in `assets/js/swiper-bundle.min.js` and `assets/css/swiper-
bundle.min.css`.

 * Project: [Swiper](https://swiperjs.com/)
 * Source for the bundled version: [Swiper 11.1.14 source](https://github.com/nolimits4web/swiper/tree/v11.1.14/src)
 * License: MIT

The files are served locally. The plugin does not contact the Swiper project or 
a CDN at runtime.

## Instalación

 1. Install the ZIP through **Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin**, or copy the`
    ingotforge-cards-for-acf` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate **IngotForge Cards for ACF**.
 3. Activate Advanced Custom Fields or Advanced Custom Fields PRO.
 4. Add `[ingotforge_cards]` to a page, post, block, widget, or page-builder shortcode
    element.
 5. Open **Settings > IngotForge Cards Manual** for the full reference.

Basic example:

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="post" fields="location,event_date" columns="3"]
    ```

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does this update change the shortcode or saved data?

No. The shortcode remains `[ingotforge_cards]`. Version 1.6.5 does not add a database
table, rename the existing option, or require content migration.

### Does the plugin require Advanced Custom Fields?

Yes. Advanced Custom Fields or Advanced Custom Fields PRO must provide the `get_field()`
and `get_field_object()` functions.

### Can it display custom post types?

Yes. Use the registered post type slug, for example:

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="document" fields="description,pdf_documents_url"]
    ```

### Can I hide individual card elements?

Yes. Controls include `show_title`, `show_image`, `show_excerpt`, `show_acf_fields`,`
show_taxonomies`, `show_date`, and `show_button`.

Image-only example:

    ```
    [ingotforge_cards post_type="programme" show_title="false" show_excerpt="false" show_acf_fields="false" show_button="false"]
    ```

### Can I disable image and title links?

Yes. Set `link_to="none"`. The legacy default remains `link_to="post"`.

### Can I style the background behind the complete card instance?

Yes. Use `container_bg` for the outer instance and `card_bg` for individual cards.
It accepts HEX, RGB/RGBA, `transparent`, and safe gradients, and is empty by default.

Example: `container_bg="linear-gradient(135deg, #ffffff 0%, #e2e8f0 100%)"`

### Can columns control the number of cards in a slider?

Yes. With `layout="slider"`, explicit `columns` is a compatibility alias when `slides_per_view`
is omitted. `slides_per_view` wins when both are supplied.

### Are slider files loaded on every page?

No. The plugin pre-detects common shortcode placements so required styles can be
printed in the page head. The shortcode callback remains as a fallback for builders
and templates stored elsewhere. Swiper CSS and JavaScript load only when at least
one instance uses `layout="slider"`.

### Is Swiper loaded from a CDN?

No. Swiper v11.1.14 is bundled locally and makes no remote request by itself.

### Which design value formats are supported?

Design options accept validated values such as HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, `currentColor`,
CSS variables, dimensions, shadows, and supported CSS functions. Values attempting
to add declarations, URLs, markup, at-rules, or `!important` are rejected.

### How do I troubleshoot an empty result?

Confirm that the post type and ACF field names are correct and that matching posts
are published. Administrators can temporarily add `debug="true"`; debug output is
not shown to visitors without the `manage_options` capability.
