v2.0.2
7efce8e

As we used FireHawk more we've rewritten this whole thing for v2.0. Here's what you get now:

🎯 Enhanced Performance

  • FCRM Asset Dequeuing: Prevents FCRM from loading 28+ CSS/JS files (Bootstrap, Moment, Lodash, etc.) on non-tribute pages - saves 500KB-2MB per page load
  • Intelligent Page Detection: Only loads the FH tribute assets on actual tribute pages, search pages, or pages with tribute shortcodes
  • Script optimisation and flower delivery code disabling. (We added this as our clients don't use the Flower Delivery features as it was always added)
  • Redis object cache compatibility and smart asset management

⚡ API Caching System

  • 3-5 second page loads → under 500ms (seriously)
  • Redis support with intelligent fallback to WordPress transients
  • HTTP request interception for transparent caching
  • Works with VPS Hosting panels, fast NGINX page & Object caching or any Redis-enabled hosting.
  • Please get in touch if you need other WordPress hosting support.

📋 Modern Layout Templates

  • Card-based responsive layouts that don't look like they're from 2010
  • 4 card styles for each layout: Standard, Elevated, Outlined, Minimal
  • Full-card click: Entire card area is clickable with keyboard accessibility support
  • Configurable grid columns (3 or 4)
  • Advanced search with HTML5 date pickers and real-time filtering (work in progress)
  • Mobile-first design with proper accessibility

🎛️ Universal UI Styling

  • 5 professional colour schemes (or roll your own to match your WordPress Theme)
  • Typography controls for headings and body text
  • Layout-specific styling options
  • Live CSS generation - no more manual file editing

📊 SEO & Analytics Integration

  • Plausible Analytics integration (privacy-focused, GDPR compliant). This is what we recommend. This adds the tracking code to each tribute page.
  • SEOPress enhanced meta tags and social sharing. FH Tributes supports Yoast out of the box. This adds support for SEOPress (again what we recommend)
  • Smart plugin detection - only shows options when base plugins are available
  • WordPress media uploader for social share images

🥝 Module Based & Extendable

  • We've added a module system so we can extend this plugin easily with extra additions or more layout options. If there is something you've like added, please get in touch.
