Yukdigitalz Knowledge Base

Description

Yukdigitalz Knowledge Base is a lightweight, secure, and accessible documentation plugin for WordPress. Designed for enterprise-level performance and premium modern aesthetics, it provides a seamless repository-ready system to publish, manage, and interact with your technical resources.

In addition to traditional Knowledge Base grids and navigation, Yukdigitalz Knowledge Base is equipped with a state-of-the-art RAG AI Chat Assistant drawer (SaaS style). The AI assistant utilizes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to scan your published articles, retrieve matching context, and reply contextually. It leverages the native WordPress AI Client. To protect your server from quota exhaustion, it features robust Hashed IP Rate Limiting and client-side anti-spam cooldown mechanisms.

Features

• SaaS-Style AI Chat Assistant (RAG): A floating spark button slides out a contextual chat drawer. The assistant automatically queries the knowledge base (yukdigitalz_kb_doc), inserts matching content records as context, and replies contextually using AI.
• WordPress Native AI Client: Seamlessly hooks into wp_ai_client_prompt to leverage AI options configured in your WP dashboard.
• AI Chat Rate Limiting & Anti-Spam Security: Built-in privacy-safe hashed IP request tracking via WordPress Transients (limits maximum queries per hour per user) and client-side cooldown locks.
• Premium Performance Layouts: Built entirely using zero-dependency, modern Vanilla JS and lightweight clean CSS (fully compatible with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, and Block/FSE Themes).
• AJAX Live Search: Accessible instant searching matching post titles, categories, and article snippets with a loading indicator.
• Collapsible Accordion Sidebar: Interactive, accessible list of categories and documents in the sidebar that preserves expansion states.
• Automatic Table of Contents (TOC): Dynamically parses h2 and h3 tags inside article content to render a floating index widget.
• Helpfulness Feedback Widget: AJAX-based user voting (« Was this article helpful? ») with custom cookie session locks to prevent spam ratings.
• Breadcrumbs Navigation: Automated microdata-ready hierarchical path links at the top of individual documentation pages.
• Enterprise Customizer Settings: A premium, tabbed dashboard options page allowing you to configure custom base slugs, primary hover colors, rating widgets, TOCs, Q&A Comments toggle, and rate limit parameters.

Privacy & Third-Party AI Services

This plugin supports optional AI chat assistance powered by the WordPress AI Client. When enabled:
* The assistant retrieves relevant documentation snippets from published articles in your local WordPress database (yukdigitalz_kb_doc) to ground responses in facts.
* Queries are processed via the provider configured in your WordPress AI Client (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenAI, or local models).
* No personal identifying information (PII) or user credentials are transmitted or stored by this plugin.
* Rate limiting utilizes one-way SHA-256 hashed IP addresses stored temporarily in WordPress Transients to prevent server resource abuse.
