Arcadys Municipal Core

Arcadys Municipal Core keeps the data and content of a municipal website in a plugin, so nothing is lost when the theme changes. It is designed for the Arcadys Municipal theme, but its styles also work without it. The interface is in Spanish (Chile).

Author: Arcadys (Rodrigo Arce Muñoz). cl

• “Municipio” settings panel: name, logo, contact details, opening hours, public safety number, social networks, header (A or B), home page, inner pages, floating contact button, emergency notice, cookie notice, SEO and analytics.

• Home page layouts C3, C4 and E, link panels and sortable sections: notices, open calls, agenda, figures, special section, campaigns and news.

• Content types: public calls (automatic status by date), important notices, municipal agenda (colored categories and.ics download), campaigns, side banners, departments and units, council members, COSOC, public accountability report, zoning plans, localities and emergency contacts.

• Data boxes for institutional pages (Mayor, Council, History, Mission and Vision, COSOC, Localities, Public Accountability, Zoning Plans, Local Police Court, Financial reports, Risk and disaster management).

• Risk and disaster management: “Amenazas” taxonomy (forest fire, general fires, tornadoes and waterspouts, rain and flooding, extreme heat, earthquake and tsunami, snowfall, general) for emergency contacts and “Recomendaciones” (before, during or after, by hazard), both under Emergencias, plus ongoing emergencies (Emergencias › Agregar nueva emergencia) shown on Gestión de riesgos y desastres. Important notices have a type (information to the community, caution, scheduled outage) and no hazard. The “Gestión de riesgos y desastres” page shows the notices (current and previous, by type), the recommendations by hazard and the emergency contacts; it also shows ongoing and recently finished emergencies, the alert status (with Arcadys Pro) and the official sources; the Emergencias page shows emergency numbers, the services map and the contacts listing.

• Municipal ordinances: ordinances and decrees with number, date, category, summary and file, listed with search and filters on the “Municipal ordinances” page.

• Maps with Leaflet and OpenStreetMap (no API key) for localities, emergencies, street markets and waste collection, with a location picker in the admin.

• Site-wide notice bar: any important notice can also be shown as a bar at the top of every page while it is valid (“Mostrar como barra en todo el sitio”), colored by notice type.

• Contact form (OIRS) with tracking number, optional attachment sent only by email and optional Google reCAPTCHA.

• Content ratings: “¿Te resultó útil esta información?” (Sí / No) at the end of pages and other content. Each item has a “Mostrar valoración” checkbox; the default per content type is set in Municipio › Valoraciones (on for pages and services). One vote per content, connection and day (the IP address is stored only as a salted hash that changes daily), works without JavaScript, “Útil %” column, dashboard widget and summary page. Data is stored locally; nothing is sent outside the site.

• Cookie notice (Chilean Law 21.719): statistics wait for the visitor’s consent; accept and reject have the same weight.

• Basic SEO: description, Open Graph, structured data and Google codes (Analytics, Tag Manager and Search Console).

• Blocks: Transparency and Lobby banners, contact data and home page blocks. Patterns for institutional pages.

• Optional (off by default): custom error pages (saved in uploads/arcadys-errores) and.htaccess rules. They are only written after an administrator enables “Escribir archivos en el servidor” and are removed when it is disabled or the plugin is deactivated. The plugin does not write WordPress drop-ins: it shows their code so the administrator can add them manually.

• Base structure in Municipio › Estructura y demo (with the sample content import): the administrator chooses which empty pages (with their templates), the Principal menu and the static front page to create. Nothing is created on activation.

• Site type (Municipio › General): Municipal (default, nothing changes), Turismo, Salud or Educación. Each type brings its own colour palette (checked for AA contrast in light and dark mode), a top strip “Un sitio de la Municipalidad de…” linking to the municipal website, and a summary of what it includes.

• Turismo site type: Lugares (attractions, lodging, food, cultural venues, sports venues and tourist services, with categories, opening hours, how to get there, attributes such as free entry, accessible or pet friendly, and a map on every page), Rutas (distance, duration, difficulty, how to travel it, starting point and the places along the way), Talleres (minimum age, quotas, schedule, venue, instructor and enrolment), the “Recintos y talleres” page and a Turismo agenda (audience, place and enrolment link, filters, “Agregar al calendario” and an.ics file of the whole agenda). These content types exist only on Turismo sites.

• “Enlaces de interés” section on the municipal home page: institutional design banners (Kit Digital) shown as a carousel when there are more than four, with a one-click import (as drafts) of the most used State links.

• Email template (Municipio › Correos): contact form, internal notices and summaries are sent as HTML with a plain-text version, a band with the municipality logo and name and a footer with contact details. Preview and test email in the admin; colours and logo can be changed with the arcadys_core_correo_ajustes filter.

• Dismissible administration notices: each user closes a notice with the X and it is not shown to them again.

• Demo content importer in Municipio › Estructura y demo (and WP-CLI wp arcadys-demo ), with a bundled demo of the fictitious “Municipalidad de Quillantú” (see Demo content) and a separate Turismo package for Turismo sites.

Demo content

txt; nothing is downloaded from the Internet and no zip is shipped), plus the demo/turismo/ subfolder with the Turismo package. It is only imported when an administrator presses “Importar la demo incluida” in Municipio › Estructura y demo, or runs wp arcadys-demo importar incluida. “Crear estructura base” only creates the empty pages, menu and front page that you select; it never adds demo content.

What it contains: pages with their templates, news, important notices, agenda, public calls, departments and units, procedures, emergency contacts, recommendations by hazard, council, COSOC, ordinances, localities, campaigns and side banners, the Principal menu and its location, the static front page, the Municipio settings (name, logo, contact details, header and home page) and the band images.

With Arcadys Municipal Pro active it also imports the Pro data (emergencies, street markets, waste collection sectors, services and their settings). cl) and addresses are fictitious; only the real public emergency services of Chile (SENAPRED, CONAF, 130, 131, 132, 133, Carabineros) are kept. No API keys, tokens, licence data or administrator emails are included.

Turismo demo (demo/turismo/): only offered when the site type is Turismo, in the same screen (button “Importar la demo de Turismo”, or wp arcadys-demo importar <path to demo/turismo> --no-limpiar ). It adds around 36 items for the fictitious Quillantú: lugares with opening hours, ways to get there and attributes, rutas that list their places, talleres, agenda activities (categories Cultura, Deporte and Turismo) and the “Recintos y talleres” page, with 17 original illustrations.

It does not change the Municipio settings or the menu and it is idempotent. Importing the municipal demo keeps the site type you chose.

The import is idempotent: each imported item is tagged with _arcadys_demo_id, so importing again updates the same items instead of duplicating them. If Pro is inactive, Pro content types are skipped; activate Pro and import again to add them.

How to test on a clean install: install WordPress, activate the Arcadys Municipal theme and Arcadys Municipal Core (optionally Pro), open Municipio › Estructura y demo, press “Importar la demo incluida” and visit the home page. Press it again: the counts stay the same.

External services

This plugin sends nothing to Arcadys unless the administrator opts in. It connects to the following services:

• Arcadys connection (optional, opt-in) (licencias.arcadys.cl) — off by default. Only if the administrator checks “Register this site” in Municipality › Licencia y soporte › Conexión con Arcadys, the site registers with Arcadys so it can be checked for problems (site down, certificate expiring, outdated versions) and the administrator can be alerted and offered help; a second, separate checkbox subscribes the contact email to news about the free version. Sent on registration: the site URL, the municipality name, the contact email, a random site ID and token, and the choices made. Sent once a week (WP-Cron) while connected: the versions of WordPress, PHP, the theme and the Arcadys plugins, the locale, whether it is a multisite and the number of Site Health issues. The Arcadys server also loads the site’s front page and calls /wp-json/arcadys/v1/verificar to confirm the registration. No content, users, passwords or visitor data are ever sent. Disconnecting, deactivating or uninstalling stops all sending and asks the server to delete the record. Privacy: https://arcadys.cl/privacidad – Security: https://arcadys.cl/seguridad

• OpenStreetMap tiles (tile.openstreetmap.org) — used to display the maps of localities, emergencies, street markets, waste collection and services, on the front end and in the admin location pickers. Sent: the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent and the requested map area, each time a map is shown. The department page also embeds a map from openstreetmap.org/export. Terms: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use – Tile usage policy: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ – Privacy: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

• Nominatim (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) — address search. Used only when someone types an address in a map location picker (admin) or in the waste collection “find my sector” search (front end). Sent: the typed text, the visitor’s IP address and user agent. Terms: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ – Privacy: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

• Google reCAPTCHA (www.google.com/recaptcha) — optional bot protection for the contact form. Only active if the administrator selects reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 and enters keys. The script loads on the page with the form; on submit the site sends the reCAPTCHA token and the visitor’s IP address to Google for verification. Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms – Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (www.googletagmanager.com) — only if the administrator enters a measurement or container ID. With the cookie notice enabled, the scripts load only after the visitor accepts statistics cookies. Sent: page views, IP address, user agent and cookies, as configured in the administrator’s Google account. Google Search Console only adds a verification meta tag (no data sent). Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms – Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• YouTube and Vimeo — when an editor adds a YouTube or Vimeo video link to media fields, the video is embedded from youtube-nocookie.com or player.vimeo.com when the page is viewed. Sent: the visitor’s IP address, user agent and the video ID. YouTube terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms – Google privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy – Vimeo terms: https://vimeo.com/terms – Vimeo privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy

The cookie notice stores the visitor’s choice in a first-party browser cookie.
