Etchenet Reviews for Google Business

Journal des modifications

7.0.9

• Side-panel close-button hover colors now apply only during a real pointer hover; automatic focus on panel opening keeps the configured normal colors.
• Keyboard focus retains an independent :focus-visible accessibility outline without reusing the hover background, icon, or border colors.

7.0.8

• Carousel card background and border settings now remain authoritative when a theme applies competing important shorthands to the shared card class.
• Carousel-card, side-panel, and side-panel-card shadow presets now control their complete preset state, including activation, when resolved on the frontend.

7.0.7

• Side-panel Read-more styling now uses explicit, component-scoped background, border, radius, and logical padding properties so every saved panel setting is applied independently of carousel, theme, and Elementor links.
• Hover border width continues to inherit the normal panel border width when its optional setting is left empty; keyboard focus keeps its independent accessibility outline.

7.0.6

• Side-panel Read-more borders: hover now uses the configured border color and an optional hover-only width that inherits the normal width when left empty.
• Accessibility: removed the mouse-hover currentColor outline from the side-panel Read-more link; an independent outline is reserved for :focus-visible keyboard navigation.

7.0.5

• Read-more borders: hover now uses the configured border color and an optional hover-only width that inherits the normal width when left empty.
• Accessibility: removed the mouse-hover currentColor outline from the carousel read-more link; an independent outline is now reserved for :focus-visible keyboard navigation.

7.0.4

• Carousel actions: deployed the saved read-more spacing value to the public stylesheet and retained strict component scoping for the slider link.
• Responsive safety: cards preserve their selected aspect ratio while content fits, then expand only when large translated or administrator-styled header/footer controls would otherwise be clipped.
• Read-more sizing: padding and borders now stay inside the card content width, with centered wrapping for deliberately large values on narrow screens.
• French translation: aligned the public read-more action with the established “Lire la suite” terminology; Spanish remains “Leer más”.

7.0.3

• Carousel container: added separately saved inner and outer spacing controls for top, right, bottom, and left, with an accessible linked/unlinked editing mode.
• Rendering: the frontend and live preview now use scoped carousel-container spacing variables, responsive effective horizontal values, and protected internal navigation clearance so margins and padding cannot overflow their shortcode parent or clip arrows, pagination, or card shadows.
• Fix: the carousel « Read more » spacing setting now applies to the public component; live-preview badge and side-panel card radii now use the same 0–80 px bounds as saved frontend values; modal padding and maximum width now honour the full ranges accepted by the settings screen.
• Upgrade: existing configurations receive zero-valued spacing keys automatically without overwriting any saved carousel settings.

7.0.2

• Reviews administration: restored one complete inventory for stored Google and manual reviews. Hidden reviews remain manageable in the administration screen and are not removed from storage.
• Review management: added search, source/rating/status filters, total counters, page sizes (10, 20, 50, 100, or all), and accessible pagination.
• Manual order: restored a dedicated unpaginated Reorder reviews mode with a global drag-and-drop list covering both Google and manual reviews. Saving validates a complete unique sequence before it is stored and selects Manual order for public components.
• Data integrity: added an idempotent upgrade migration that retains legacy 6.x order keys and completes the saved sequence with stored reviews. Deleting a manual review now removes only its obsolete order key.
• Review status: restored the visible/hidden control for both review sources. CSV export now includes all stored reviews, including hidden ones.
• Carousel container: added an independent 0–200 px container-radius setting with a live preview. It applies only to the carousel container and does not clip its arrows, pagination, or shadows.

7.0.1

• Floating badge states: separated normal, hover, and keyboard-focus border colors, widths, and styles. Hover and keyboard-focus widths or styles can inherit the normal badge border when left empty.
• Accessibility: removed the non-configurable currentColor outline from the badge container and from mouse-focus states. Keyboard focus now uses configurable :focus-visible outlines only on the actual badge and write-review controls.
• Preview: the real-time administration preview now mirrors the frontend badge border and keyboard-focus logic, including hover borders when the normal border width is zero.
• Migration: existing 7.0 settings receive the new focus-state fields automatically without overwriting saved badge, hover, or write-review settings.

7.0.0

• Major refactor: rebuilt the administration experience around eight task-focused tabs and a shared real-time preview that uses the public component markup.
• Settings architecture: slider, floating badge, side panel, review window, and their actions now have component-scoped options so that a setting cannot leak into another component.
• Visual system: added component-specific colors with opacity, typography controls, borders, spacing, and independent structured shadows for the badge, panel, review cards, carousel, modal, and supported controls.
• Component improvements: refreshed the floating badge, side panel, and full-review modal with isolated layers, accessible close controls, responsive behavior, and styles protected from theme or Elementor resets.
• Display controls: added independent slider pagination, native SVG arrows, structured shadows, a configurable Google write-review button, and shared displayed review-count and rating controls for the badge and side panel. A component-scoped Swiper compatibility fix preserves the left/right direction of previous and next arrows without affecting other sliders.
• Critical carousel stability: the slider now uses a private, explicit Swiper runtime with reliable script dependencies, hidden-container recovery, ResizeObserver updates, and no fallback to Elementor or theme Swiper globals.
• Card layout: restored a dedicated card-aspect-ratio control (automatic, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, or custom width / height) alongside independent height behaviour (automatic, equal, minimum, or fixed). The ratio applies only to the inner carousel card; Swiper slide widths and the side panel remain unaffected.
• Card content: ratio and fixed-height cards keep their header and footer visible while the review text truncates cleanly when space is limited. Existing 6.x ratios and early 7.0 ratio-as-height values migrate automatically without overwriting saved choices.
• Preview parity: the administration preview now runs the same real Swiper lifecycle and card markup as the frontend, including pagination and navigation.
• Preview usability: the administration preview always inspects one complete review card, independently of the public carousel columns. New Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile controls change only the simulated preview width.
• Arrow borders: added separate normal, hover, and keyboard-focus border colors, plus independent border thickness and style controls for this plugin’s carousel arrows.
• Floating badge controls: added independent normal, hover, and keyboard-focus border colors, border style, width, and transition. The Google write-review button can now appear to the left, right, or compactly inside the badge with its own visual, hover, and focus controls.
• Badge compatibility: configurations from 6.x retain the historic integrated + button when that layout can be identified safely; saved left/right configurations are preserved unchanged.
• Manual reviews: reviews created with an author and stars only remain visible in the carousel, floating badge, and side panel even when the optional empty-text filter is enabled.
• Translation safety: upgrades preserve administrator-managed legacy translation files; the settings migration never deletes locale customizations.
• Migration: existing configurations are migrated automatically on upgrade. The migration is idempotent, preserves legacy and unknown values, and never overwrites a saved configuration.

6.1.7

• Display: the configurable review count is now the single source of truth for every public review-count label, including the floating Google badge and both side-panel header layouts.
• Admin: the badge and side-panel previews now update together in real time when this value changes.
• Data integrity: review filtering, the average rating, review cards, operational admin totals, and structured-data counts continue to use real review data.

6.1.6

• Full-review modal: added separate color controls for the modal, its close button, and the “Read more” link, including hover and keyboard-focus states.
• Display: the modal is now a shared footer component with its own overlay. It opens above the side panel and works when the floating badge is used without a carousel shortcode.
• Compatibility: isolated modal and “Read more” styles from theme-level button and link resets, including Hello Elementor.
• Security: protected the manual Google-review sync with an administrator capability check and nonce, hardened remote avatar caching, and neutralized spreadsheet formulas in CSV exports.
• Import: headerless files can now omit the optional review text (for example: Author, Stars, Date, Photo URL).
• Dependencies: updated Swiper to 12.1.2 and replaced the broken alpha color-picker bundle with its readable GPL-2.0-or-later source.

6.1.5

• Badge: added an optional setting to override only the review count displayed on the floating Google badge; leave it empty to keep the real filtered count.
• Manual reviews: author name and a whole-star rating are now the only required fields. Review text and profile image are optional in add, edit, and CSV/Excel import workflows.
• Display: manual reviews without text remain visible in the carousel, badge, and side panel without an empty-text gap; Google empty-text filtering is unchanged.

6.1.4

• Internationalisation : chaînes source anglaises finalisées dans le code trunk actif pour les flux de traduction WordPress.org
• Cohérence Admin/IU : libellés visibles restants et en-têtes d’export alignés sur la base source anglaise
• Préparation de la version : numéro de version et métadonnées du readme mis à jour pour le tag 6.1.4

6.1.3

• Internationalisation : les chaînes visibles par l’utilisateur utilisent l’anglais (en_US) comme source de traduction (directives WordPress.org / Polyglots)
• Readme : aligné sur les libellés d’administration ; locale par défaut, en-têtes CSV et paramètre language de l’API Google clarifiés
• Gabarit de traduction régénéré et catalogues es_ES / fr_FR / en_US inclus actualisés

6.1.2

• Correction : les sélecteurs de couleur de l’administration (onglet Esthétique) mettent désormais à jour l’aperçu en temps réel
• Correction : mise en page de l’en-tête de carte — le nom de l’auteur et les étoiles sont centrés sur toute la largeur de la carte tandis que l’avatar reste ancré à gauche
• Correction : les cartes d’avis du panneau latéral n’héritent plus du CSS exclusif au slider (taille de l’avatar, alignement des étoiles)

6.1.0

• Carrousel, badge et panneau latéral avec avis manuels et synchronisation via l’API Google
• Importation CSV/Excel ; ordre par glisser-déposer ; prêt pour la traduction (EN, ES, FR)
• Rich Snippets (JSON-LD), styles et filtres configurables
