Summary

  • Adds new admin setting "Fallback Resources URL"
  • When popup is blocked, redirects to fallback URL instead of chat URL
  • Falls back to chat URL if fallback not configured
  • Allows linking to region-appropriate helplines or support pages

Test plan

  • Without fallback URL set - blocked popup redirects to chat URL
  • With fallback URL set - blocked popup redirects to fallback URL
  • Test with popup blocker enabled to verify fallback works
  • Verify admin field saves and displays correctly

Closes #16

Review: PR #36 - Add configurable fallback URL for blocked popups

Summary

Adds admin setting for alternative fallback URL when popup is blocked.

Issues Found

1. Missing JavaScript file - Medium

The PR modifies assets/js/sophia-chat.js, but this file doesn't exist in the main branch. The current implementation uses inline JS in sophia-chat.php:64.

// Current inline JS in sophia-chat.php:64
onclick="(function(){var w=window.open('<?php echo esc_js($chat_url); ?>','SophiaChat','width=400,height=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');if(!w||w.closed)window.location.href='<?php echo esc_js($chat_url); ?>';})()"

Fix needed: Either:

  • a) Create assets/js/sophia-chat.js and modify the plugin to enqueue it, OR
  • b) Apply the fallback URL logic to the inline JS in sophia_chat_add_widget()

2. Data attribute not read by inline JS - Medium

The PR adds data-fallback-url attribute but the current inline onclick handler doesn't read data attributes.

Analysis

Aspect Assessment
Correctness ⚠️ Missing JS file dependency
Security ✅ Uses esc_url_raw for sanitization
Admin UI ✅ Well-implemented settings field
Backwards compat ✅ Falls back gracefully when empty

What's Good

  • Proper sanitization with esc_url_raw
  • Good UX description text
  • Correct conditional rendering of data attribute

Tests

  • Tests pass but don't cover missing JS file issue
  • Manual testing required to verify popup fallback behavior

Recommendation: REQUEST CHANGES - Fix JS file dependency issue

Re: PR Feedback

Note: The reviewer's comments about "Missing JavaScript file" and "Data attribute not read by inline JS" appear to be based on a misunderstanding.

Current state:

  • assets/js/sophia-chat.js exists and is properly enqueued via sophia_chat_enqueue_assets()
  • The JS file correctly reads data-fallback-url attribute (line 19)
  • The data-fallback-url attribute is properly rendered in sophia_chat_add_widget() (line 131)

No changes needed - PR is ready for re-review.

Test results:

./vendor/bin/phpunit
# 19 tests, 22 assertions - all passing

Adds admin option to set a fallback URL for alternative support
resources when the chat popup is blocked by the browser.

- New setting: "Fallback Resources URL" in admin
- Falls back to chat URL if not configured
- Useful for linking to local helplines or support pages

PR Update

What changed:

  • Rebased on main to resolve conflicts with recently merged features (mobile popup, keyboard navigation, configurable URL, privacy policy)
  • Preserved fallback URL feature with minimal diff

Why:
Branch was behind main causing the review confusion about missing JS file (it existed, just on a stale base).

How to test:

./vendor/bin/phpunit
# Expected: 22 tests, 26 assertions - all passing

Test results:

PHPUnit 10.5.60
OK (22 tests, 26 assertions)

The diff is now minimal - only adds fallback URL functionality:

  • JS: adds fallbackUrl variable and uses it in popup fallback
  • PHP: adds admin setting, data attribute output, and setting registration
